You will feel the tension ease the moment you walk through the doors of Columbia Beach House and catch your first glimpse of the panoramic ocean view.

This distinctive single level, 3200 sq foot home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a large office with computer and printer, high speed WiFi internet, a gourmet kitchen with huge island and custom cherry cabinetry, living and dining rooms separated by a double-sided gas fireplace, laundry room, central vacuum, air conditioning, 2 car garage and large landscaped lot.

Columbia Beach House is situated on a flat, extensively landscaped lot with 100 feet of walk-on beach front. The ocean side of the house features multiple patios, a gazebo and gas BBQ grill. From here you can see the mountains on both Vancouver Island and the mainland of BC, as well as the many islands dotting the Strait of Georgia. Wildlife is abundant where bald eagles and sea lions can be seen within view. Listen to seals bark and the calls of over 60 species of waterfowl, and with a little luck you may catch a glimpse of a killer whale passing by. As the day turns to evening, you can enjoy a breathtaking sunset and watch the fishing boats and cruise ships making their way through the sparkling ocean waters.

The master bedroom has a walk-in closet and an exquisite master bath complete with radiant heat in the slate floor and a no-step door-less shower.

We stayed as a group of seven and encountered a serious health and safety issue during our visit. There was a sewage backup in the basement bathroom near the sauna, which was initially mistaken for dirt but later confirmed as human waste. On April 6th, after using the hot tub and sauna, we experienced backflow of human feces through the shower drain, exposing multiple guests. Despite multiple messages sent to the host on April 7th, we didn’t receive a response until after checkout. We spent significant time sanitizing our belongings due to the contamination. Additionally, for over $1500 per night, the listing lacked basic amenities, including coffee, tea, and sufficient paper towels. Check-in was also delayed as there was no gate code provided, leaving us waiting 15-20 minutes. Given the host had significant delays in their response, and declined to provide any reimbursement/ghosted us, we’ve submitted a formal request through Airbnb due to the severity of the issue.

Beautiful, comfortable, bright, expertly renovated get-away worked so well for 5 + dog. A great find!!

Kirsten Solberg
Positive: Comfortable & bright w/great mix of old & new. Beautifully decorated classic craftsman with mid century modern details. Excellent outdoor space. Worked great for our group. The second house with its own mini-kitchen & bath was gorgeous & private. The water & beach walk across the street is beautiful. Perfect place for running & walking. Also many paved trails for running/walking/biking nearby. Negative: Yard wasn’t completely fenced in and house is on a fairly busy road (cars driving quickly) so our dog had to be on her leash at all times. Next door neighbor is *really* close & they are doing renovations. So, saws & hammering early & throughout the day. Also, a little bit of an ant problem in the kitchen. Not a big deal for us but possibly for someone. No tissues.

Great hidden gem. A must book

Matthew Jones
Positive: Everything. This is the hidden gem of hidden gems. Perfect quiet location, easy access to the unit. The details are exquisite and clearly a lot of thought and pride went into putting this together. Breakfast on the patio looking out into the bay is serene We added an extra day because it was just so peaceful. 10/10 would recommend to anyone Negative: Hard to find correct driveway at night but once I knew where it was it was easy.

The spectacular elevated views from every front room including the sunroom, outdoor decks and the front patio were the highlight! Witnessed the sunrise every morning behind the Gulf Islands and Vancouver mountains and even caught the harbour seals floating by down below. Lots of ferry, freighter, log boom movement to keep us entertained. The carport parking for 2 cars was convenient for guests and the EV charger came in handy. Although we didn't communicate with the host by name, EMR Vacation Rentals was very responsive and helpful. Loved the full Shaw cable channel lineup on the big TV so we could watch the live Masters golf. Some confusion on which Unit was ours on arrival but I'm new to AirBnb. There was activity in the smaller second unit below us but there was no interaction and they were very quiet. To take advantage of the full patio furniture, outdoor fireplace etc. come in May onward. We will be booking again with EMR and this property when back on the island.

Amazing.

Our stay at this Airbnb was so memorable. From the moment we arrived, we were all in awe of the beauty and serene vibe of the space and its surroundings. The instructions given before and during our stay were clear and lots of recommendations were given. The view was phenomenal, and the interior and garden design were calming and aesthetically pleasing. We especially enjoyed the kitchen and dining and spent most of our time there. It had nice appliances, kitchenware, and even cookbooks for inspiration. The space was as beautiful as a show home, but also felt lived-in and comfortable. Everything was straightforward to use. The detached 3rd room and washroom was jaw-dropping! All in all, everything was well thought-out and it was clear that the space was meant for relaxing, unwinding, and creating lasting memories not only exploring Victoria, but also in this home! We would love to come back and would recommend the space!
