Beautiful space and great location

Angela Maxson
Beautiful space and great location. Beach across the street was fantastic to walk along when the tide was out. Quick drive to Sidney for a morning coffee/pastry run or a beautiful dinner by the water. We travelled with 4 teenagers and they loved everything about this place. Lots of beds and the private cottage space in the back was perfect for my husband and I. We utilized the sauna every evening. It was great to have our own space and still be so close. Highly recommend and would love to visit again

Check-in host was accommodating and early check-in was appreciated

Susan Frank
Check-in host was accommodating and early check-in was appreciated. Carriage house in back was lovely; dry sauna was a nice bonus; king bed was very comfy (medium firmness). In main house front room bed was firm; rear room bed was comfortable. Home was clean and well decorated. Teabags were appreciated. Heating took a while & didn’t seem to reach all spaces evenly, but not an issue for us. We’d stay again as rate was reasonable.

Our family had a fantastic stay at this location

Dale Brody
Our family had a fantastic stay at this location! The view of Patricia Bay is absolutely wonderful and was a highlight of our trip. We specifically appreciated that the home is pet friendly, which made our vacation much easier. The location is perfect for exploring. We loved walking the trails along the bay right across the street and found the nearby parks to be great. It was a very quick trip into Sidney for groceries and local cafes, and Victoria was just a short drive away for day trips. The space itself was bright, inviting, and well equipped for our needs. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a serene getaway in North Saanich!

The perfect stay for our wedding week

Lilian Smith
The perfect stay for our wedding week. My husband and I rented this Airbnb for the days leading up to, day of, and couple days after our wedding in Saanichton. It was exactly what we and our wedding party needed. The large kitchen and dinning space allowed us to have family style meals together. The extra guest suite out back was perfect for the getting ready bridal suite for morning of the wedding. And to top it all off, it was absolutely stunning. The ocean across the street was peaceful and had beautiful sunsets (when it wasn't raining). We saw so much wildlife including seals, otters, and eagles. Definitely would love to stay again one day.

Such an awesome stay

Rayann Matsui
Such an awesome stay! Richard was fabulous and kind and understanding. The property was beautiful and a perfect set up for our family. We enjoyed a visit by a deer family in the backyard while eating dinner ourselves - so many huge windows throughout! And we spotted porpoise in the waters just across the street. Sunsets were gorgeous. Walking along the waters and enjoying tide pools was our toddlers favorite. Even though you’re near the main street and airport, the property feels so secluded and peaceful. You can’t hear the planes or cars from indoors. And while outdoors, you’re more likely to enjoy the birds in the day and especially starry skies at night. We received lots of helpful responses and communication leading up to and throughout our visit which made it easy. And check out was a breeze. A be-back for sure!

As a first experience we couldn’t be happier

Lovely location across from the beach walk but the road can be busy in daytime

Mark Canning
Lovely location across from the beach walk but the road can be busy in daytime. Enjoyed watching float planes and boats in the bay and the flights coming to the airport.

Serene location

Tanya Moroyoqui
Serene location! The home is beautiful and the yard is the perfect get-a-way. We enjoyed the entire home,yards, neighborhood. Walk right across the street to walk the beach path, watch the sunset, take a cold-plunge then sit in the lovely sauna in the cottage. Morning coffee in the backyard with the deer and squirrels was the perfect start to the days. The home is close to Sidney and Victoria. We took day trips into all the tourist places, city, castles, gardens and nature trails. The home was perfect for quiet evenings and had all the tools for making meals.

The home was a great vacation home for us

Francisco Becerra
