The flowers may tnot be out for Winter, but the sun comes shining into our little haven!
People say they feel 'at home' as soon as they enter our home. The warm Santa Fe colours, fir floors, Persian carpets and colourful art exude comfort and relaxation. Our 1914 era home has been redone while maintaining the original character and charm. Our modern kitchen with large island and colourful concrete counter tops is full of art and light ~ perfect for entertaining. The sun-filled open living room with gas fire place has a built-in windowed and warm office space at one end.

Lounge in the private back garden full of flowers and surprises! Our hot tub is the perfect place to completely relax in the evening under the stars.

Great location, could walk to the ocean and see snow capped mountains. The house was well kept with lots of character, very comfortable for the 4 of us. Sally responded very quickly to all communication. Would stay again.

We had a wonderful week’s vacation with our kids and their spouses, at Sally and Stu’s home. We enjoyed the hot hot tub and playing ping pong in the beautiful back yard. The dining room table was great for games at night and the kitchen had everything we needed for cooking at home. The living room had plenty of comfy seating for everyone and we were happy to use the gas fireplace one chilly morning. We road bikes to downtown Victoria for some sightseeing, played golf and tennis nearby, walked to downtown Oak Bay for trivia night at the Penny Farthing and took a picnic dinner to a concert at Willows Beach. It really was a perfect week!

Sally and Stu were the perfect hosts. Communication started well before our trip and we were sent an "owner's manual" that included everything from how to operate the hot tub to the best restaurants in the area. When we walked in, we immediately felt at home. Some houses feel sterile, with just the basics, but here you are invited into their home, with books, knick-knacks and treasures to see all around. The back porch and garden were gorgeous and we had a few great days of weather when we were able to sit outside and just enjoy! The neighborhood was perfect for walking and we very much enjoyed the cafe just around the corner and the short walk to the beach. Also a big plus was the 10 minute drive to the harbor and downtown for all of our exploring! Even when things went wrong, the owners were responsive and sent people to try to fix things almost immediately! We definitely recommend this property for longer stays and for families with older/grown children. We stayed for 20 days/19 nights (my husband and me, my mother and also our oldest daughter for a week) when visiting my younger daughter as she graduated with her Master's from UVic.
