Very comfortable. Great sun room.

We enjoyed our stay in James Bay. The location is a five minute walk from inner harbour and downtown and a 10 minute to the ocean. This property is a 110 year gem with some modern upgrades but still has the feeling of a historical home. Not to mention the great host who welcomed us and made us feel right at home.

There are many qualities for evaluating a vacation rental: location, quality of unit, communication with host, service, size, comfort, cleanliness, attractiveness of interiors. Very few merit five stars in all these factors. This one does. The location,a quiet street a couple of blocks behind the Parliament, is exceptionally convenient to Victoria’s major tourist areas. You can walk to everything. The property is a beautifully modernized historic building, including a large new kitchen. The hospitality level is above and beyond: the welcome package included coffee, tea, bagels, milk, orange juice, cereal, and more. Chris responded really quickly to all messages. His friendly dad, who lives below the rental, helped out with any questions and was never intrusive. Could not recommend more highly. The author of this review had over 25 years of senior management experience in the resort industry. We have done literally years of vacation rentals in seven countries, including six summers on Vancouver Island.

Cute craftsman style historic bungalow. Plenty of room for a family. Ideally located on a quiet street yet highly walkable to everything. We very much enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful house in excellent walking proximity (2 blocks) to Harbor and legislative building. Most highly recommended

This is the best VRBO we have ever rented. The unit is beautifully furnished and very comfortable. It is fully stocked with necessities including a spice rack. The location is wonderful with grocery stores, restaurants, coffee shops and other services within walking distance. The parliament building, harbor and museum are an easy walk. The owner is charming and was extremely helpful. Little problems were taken care of promptly and cheerfully. We would go back in a minute!

Located in James Bay, behind the Legislative buildings within walking distance of downtown, Beacon Hill Park and Cook Street Village. Wonderful kitchen, front and back decks and fabulous tv and reading sunroom so time spent here is as enjoyable as your days out.

We had the loveliest time in this centrally located home in James Bay. There’s really no need for a car here as absolutely everything you could possibly want is a short walk away! Groceries, restaurants, Victoria Harbour and Beacon Hill Park are mere blocks away! But if you do have a car, there is plenty of driveway space to park it. We arrived to a welcome package of bagels, OJ and butter and a bottle of wine! What a lovely touch! You will be hard pressed to find anything wrong with this home! And if you are like us, it will be hard to leave! Thank you Mike and Chris for everything!
