We stayed in Tara's suite for a month . The suite is very comfortable and well equipped .The neighbourhood is quiet, friendly and a short walk to town. Tara is a wonderful host and will help in any way to make your stay comfortable . We look forward to staying again

Highly recommend. Great location, great accommodations, and outstanding hosts. They went over and above.

effortless, everything was done electronically.

The unit was clean, modern, and quiet. Check in was straight forward and the host was easy to reach out to. Having the washer and dryer available was a bonus, as we were there for 8 nights. Location was great, literally walking distance to all the restaurants and shops we wanted to check out. Plus, it was so close to the water front. Would definitely book again! Thanks for a great stay, Tara!

We've stayed in numerous places and this ranks near the top with spacious living area, nice quiet street, kitchen, private entrance, terrace and full bathroom. Not far from Robert's Bay for beachcombing and walks in residential area.

We had an excellent stay at “Home Suite Home”. It is quiet and comfortable, close to downtown Sidney and easy to access the Saanich Peninsula and Victoria. Our hosts were friendly and could be quickly contacted when we had questions. We highly recommend it!

A lovely bright and quiet apartment with a well-equipped kitchen, comfy bed, lots of towels and anytime-access to the laundry room. An easy walk to the waterfront and Sidney's many shops, restaurants and coffee spots . Tara is a warm and welcoming host who's on hand for anything you need and also very respectful of your privacy. We'd love to stay again!

Loved the plants all around us. Comfortable and well supplied.

If you are looking for a comfortable and presious suit, a quiet place to rest, the and meet incredible people, you are in the right place :) The suit had everything you need, and much more, a comfortable sofa, dishwasher, microwave, stove, programable coffee machine, an incredible bed & pillows, full laundry, two TVs, gas chimney, a lot of space and drawers, all the cutlery you'll need, a nice bathroom and an independent closed patio (perfect for pets). Its in a very secure location with some bus stops near. Also Tara and Dan are incredible hosts, respectful, kind and always ready to help. (best hosts we ever known <3) We are sure you'll love it :)

Tara & Dan’s suite was ‘homebase’ for 4 weeks for 2 active retirees & our 14 month old Cockapoo as we visited family & friends on Southern Vancouver Island. The neighbourhood is quiet & we felt safe there. It was an easy walk or short drive to/from downtown Sidney where we accessed grocery stores, bakeries, great eateries & lots of specialty shops! And a short bike ride to get onto some of the regional trails The suite was very quiet, clean, bright & well appointed. Loved having washer/dryer, 2 TV’s, fireplace, very comfy bed, wifi, well equipped kitchen & lots of bath towels! We really appreciated having a place to park our car & a spot to keep our ebikes! Due to variable weather we didn’t use the patio & BBQ area. Tara & Dan were very friendly & so welcoming... very gracious hosts!! Tara was quick to respond to any & all communications. We sure enjoyed our stay here & highly recommend it to others! Thanks Tara & Dan for sharing your home with us! Ellen, Stu & Tucker from Kelowna BC

The suite is exactly as advertised, very clean, very functional. All the comforts of home, in a convenient location. 5-6 minutes to the ferry terminal, walking distance to Sidney waterfront. Our family had a very pleasant stay at Tara's, we highly recommend it.

The suite was perfect for our family needs and Tara and Dan were excellent hosts. They went above and beyond with lending us crabbing supplies and giving us some fresh salmon, preserves and muffins. Would love to return.

This property was fantastic. Very well situated in Sidney - close to the water and the main shopping and restaurant area. Tara was a great and engaging host. The property was well appointed and very comfortable. The private patio was an extra treat - I was able to enjoy the great weather and breeze! I highly recommend this property!

Tara is an awesome host. Whatever we needed and more was provided. The property was as described (no disappointments here). The suite is comfortable. Everything is here. I appreciated the full size stove and oven, easy access to the washer and dryer, the dishwasher ,fireplace and large TV cable choices that please my husband. The neighbours have been welcoming. It is a nice place to spend your time. We would definitely recommend to family and friends. Pat and Rick

This apartment is truly wonderful. The owner, Tara, has lovingly designed a unit which carefully uses every bit of space. It is very comfortable and absolutely spotlessly clean. Tara and her family are gracious hosts and even provided excellent restaurant suggestions. There is a private patio and parking just a few feet from our private entrance. We cannot say enough about our visit and our lovely apartment. 🤗�😍�😄�

This was a clean and easy to use place with a comfy firm bed and all that we needed. We found the hosts to be so pleasant and helpful and had a great visit. Bunks are tucked into closet but my 11&12 year olds fit into them and didn’t complain once.

We had an incredible stay. The host is kind, warm, and accommodating. She thought of everything a guest might need or want to be comfortable. The apartment was perfectly remodeled, well appointed, soft sheets, lovely comforter, nice bright natural light. Her garden is amazing and such a treat. We loved the fresh banana bread. It was the perfect stay. It exceeded our highest hopes. Thank you!!

My husband and I stayed for a week and i highly recommend this suite. Very clean, new, comfortable. Easy to get to downtown Sydney.

My second time here and just as wonderful! My cat especially enjoyed the sun on the enclosed patio (So did I)! Tara and family have made my stay relaxing and enjoyable.

We were very comfortable in his very well designed suite. Plenty of everything you need. Lovely location. Nice and clean and well maintained. The muffins were great and the tulips were beautiful and a delight to us both. Thank you

Tara has been superb in making me feel welcome! The suite itself is clean, comfortable and well-located with all amenities close at hand! I highly recommend it and, in fact, will be returning later this month, as my flooded condo undergoes repairs.

we had a lovely visit with our children and we are looking forward to returning Tara was a very nice hostess and met our needs for our visit

We had a wonderful stay here. Tara was very helpful and everything you might need was there. Very conveniently located on a quiet street.

My wife and I stayed here in early March and found this rental to be very clean, comfortable and close to all amenities. Tara was a very pleasant host and often checked with us to make sure we had what we needed. We enjoyed our stay very much and would definitely return. Thank you Tara.

Tara’s rental suite was truly home away from home. It’s a beautiful renovated apartment with all the comforts. Full kitchen has all the pots and pans and dishes, cutlery, wine glasses. I loved the single cup coffee maker. She had the pantry equipped with coffee pods, tea, sugar, spices...,She also left some fruits and milk jug in the fridge. Which was a fantastic as we arrived late in the night and were very happy to be able to make coffee the next morning. The full bathroom had shampoo and conditioner and I loved the dove body wash. and the shower. Lots of towels and linens. The WIFI was super fast as well as the big TV. The apartment is very clean and the fireplace heated up very well. We slept so well on the comfortable bed and pillows . Bonus of shared laundry . Shopping plaza is walking distance for groceries, wine, drug store...,) Tara and her family are very friendly and awesome and very helpful. She has so much knowledge about Sidney and Victoria. If ever we were to visit, this is the place we would want to stay. This apartment truly leaves up to its name....home sweet home,

The suite was tastefully decorated, cozy and very well stocked. Our hosts were warm friendly and very accommodating. It was the perfect home base from which to explore the Saanich peninsula!

My husband and I were looking for a quiet get away with our pup. Not only is this a great place ... clean, quiet and cozy ... they also provided some nice added touches, like spices and microwave popcorn, coffee, tea, soap, shampoo, cream rinse and access to a washer and dryer with laundry supplies. Sometimes you don't get these things when you arrive and have to supply everything yourself. We stayed for 10 days and this was a great bonus for us. The owners are wonderful, kind and very conscientious to ensure our stay was a pleasant one. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome. And, they were respectful of our privacy as well. Additionally, the home is close to the ocean. We found several neat little "coves" and beaches very close by. Very tranquil! And, it is a short walk into "downtown". So, you have the benefit of being close to Sidney's downtown area, yet far enough away that you aren't in the hustle and bustle of it. We had our own courtyard with BBQ. This would be especially nice in the summer time. We highly recommend it to anyone considering something either in Sidney or Victoria ... it's a short bus ride or car ride away from Victoria.

We enjoyed our 5 days at your place. We were pleasantly surprised to have a warm chocolate zucchini cake waiting for,and then later some buns from the girls. The kitchen was easy to manoeuvre around and the morning sun was so welcome. We did miss a table to eat at but did adjust to the high stools.Unfortunately the smoke alarm woke us up early the last morning . The location of your home was perfect for our stay.

Tara greeted us and immediately aquainted us with the property. We immediately found her and the place to be warm and charming! She assisted us with a dvd player install which we used a couple of times. We used our little cozy as a home base for our time in Sidney. Was always pleasant to come home to after a day of adventure. There was a perfect amount of space for my husband and myself and our 3.5 lb yorkie (a dog)!! Tara's family was upstairs in their own attached home, we heard them once in a while - but not much. It was nice to hear other life! Actually we have stayed in many many hotels over the years and this was very quiet and pleasant. Tara has not forgotten anything! This place is so well stocked, you could live here forever! There is an adjoining laundry, which we used on occasion and we never ever saw anyone else there. Tara even provided the laundry soap and supplies as required. Tara has two little dogs, who greeted our Sophie (our pup) from their upper living room window. The whole arrangement was really perfect! We were also provided with a parking space right outside our walkway. A private yard area was also ours, but Tara graciously allowed us access to their massive back yard. Our little pup ran around there a couple of times (with our supervision). My husband had an initial reaction about a downstairs suite being dark. However, upon entry we soon found out that it was bright and cheery and we DID NOT feel like we were in a bunker.... it was really perfect. Tara left plenty of reading material in a bookshelf about the area, so if you were needing things to do - there was lots reading material to guide you. The little suite was clean and fresh, lots of towels, etc, lots of tea, coffee, spice! Everything has been maintained and is in great condition. Would we stay again? YES YES YES!! Thanks Tara and family! We loved it!! Oh, one last note, wifi, cable, net flix! All streaming and available on demand!! If you need a place for two (and maybe your small pet) this is it!!

My wife and I stayed at Tara's suite for a week, though could have stayed much longer for the comfort and location the suite offered, and the friendliness and helpfulness of our host, Tara. The suite was immaculately clean and fully furnished with top quality, new furnishings. The suite is very private and quiet but Tara is accessible from upstairs at a moment's notice. The location is perfect, only a mile from the busy downtown of Sidney (walkable and, better, bikable from the suite), so is quiet but easy to access town or the highways to travel around the island. There are two ferry routes in/out of Sidney, one in Sidney and one only 10 minutes away in Swartz Bay. There is also a ferry to Mill Bay for easy access to other side of Saanich Inlet, and an international airport for those traveling by air. There are several wineries and distilleries within 10 to 20 minutes drive of Sidney for tasting (especially on a rainy afternoon), and many good restaurants in Sidney. Victoria is just 30 minutes down the road so Tara's suite makes an easy day in Victoria without having to be captive to the city. We would look to stay here again in any future visit to Vancouver Is.
