We stayed 6 nights to visit family in the area. This is our 7th? Visit to this home. It never disappoints. There’s room for us all. The outdoor space is why we go. It’s beautiful and so much to do. Thanks Jean for the lovely visit. See you next year

I would like to start by stating that Jean is a wonderful person, she welcomed us and provided a tour of the property. Upon leaving she also make a point to come and wish us safe travels. I am going to separate this review into two sections as they can not be combined. To start out with the good. The exterior of this property is amazing! You could not ask for better views, plenty of areas to sit and enjoy as well. There is a fire table which was great to sit at in the evenings, the upper deck allowed great options for bird watching and there is a private beach we enjoyed an early morning walk on while tide was out. The beach is a bit steep to get to and would be hard for younger children or older adults. The exterior cant be beat! As for the interior, this property is lacking cleanliness and amenities. The exterior and interior of cabinets are dirty, and there is no dishwasher. The kitchen towels smelled of mold, the dish brush and sponge were old and dirty. So dishes from the dirty cupboards needed to be washed but then you also couldn't wash them. The washing machine was full of mold. The bathrooms had hair on the walls, the showers had soap scum and mold in all the corners, and the shower curtain had mold, and dirty mats on the bottom of the shower. Towels had stains (some believed to be blood). Majority of furniture is older or Ikea and uncomfortable.

We had a wonderful and really nice stay with Jean. We received a very warm welcome and were shown everything straight away. We were even allowed to use the canoes from the house and there are wonderful corners everywhere to sit and enjoy. For starters, everything was available in the apartment from coffee and shower supplies to spices and oil. Thank you for a great time. We really enjoyed the trip to Charles on Cole Island :-).

What a gorgeous place with such beauty! We loved every part of this property. The suite was very comfortable for my whole family. We appreciated very much.

Such a lovely property. Jean was very helpful and kind. Sitting outside was so peaceful. What a view! So close to downtown Victoria too.

Property was magical. Fantastic views. Enjoyed the kayaking. Our stay was not long enough. Host and hostess were very accommodating. We would love to come back for a longer stay

We absolutely loved our stay here. The property is stunning and we felt like we were home. I would love to return here again. We had everything we needed to be comfortable and the location was fairly central and gave us good access to Victoria, Langford and Sooke. There are so many places to explore nearby, however, we could have spent our days lounging and admiring the views on the property.

We had a wonderful stay! The pictures in the listing only show a glimpse into the breathtaking scenery of the property. We throughly enjoyed the ocean views, the multiple sitting areas surrounded by lush plants and fun places to venture on the property including the secluded beach and nearby rocks. We used the kayaks on the property a few times to explore. Morning coffee on the deck was so special. It definitely felt like paradise. The amenities inside were clean and had everything we needed including lots of towels, linens, cooking ware, coffee machines, etc. Beds were comfortable too. We will definitely be back!
