Although it rained for most of the month of March, we had a fabulous time staying at Heron's Landing. The home is located close to Pat Bay with lots of cycling/walking paths nearby. And it was kind of cool having coffee in the living room and looking out at the horse traffic walking by. The rental is by far the best equipped we've stayed at. Also, there were lots of good restaurants within 10 km to choose from when we got tired of eating in. We'd definitely stay here again and would recommend it to our friends and family.

EMR Response

Thank you for your review of Heron's Landing. Yes, we did have a lot of rain in March. The property is located in a great area, central to lots of restaurants and the town of Sidney. We look forward to having you stay with us again in the future. It was a pleasure working with you as well.

Fabulous place. It housed six adults and four children under 5 including two babies easily. Grandparents got the room to themselves upstairs, and each family a floor of the house. The downstairs is particularly spacious and well suited for a family to have some space to themselves. And lots of deck and yard space for nice weather bbqs, etc.

The place is really new, so everything looks perfect. You have a sense that you could be the first people to have stayed there.

Wonderful yard for the kids, perfect for easter egg hunts. Lovely quiet street for kids to ride bikes along and some forest opposite to go exploring in. Beach within easy walking distance. All the neighbours are friendly and welcoming. A v. short drive into Sidney.

The only downsides, if I dare identify any, are 1 soundproofing ain't great, you can hear everything from the floors above, and b the kitchen is small given how many people the house can easily accommodate, and no gas stove.

The management company were very professional and friendly. I would definitely look to rent accommodations through this company again.

And overall, without a doubt we'll be back again.

Heron's Landing is a 5 star resort home. The linens are very high quality and the beds are extremely comfortable. The home is located in a beautiful neighbor that is 1/2 block from the water. The home has many amenities such as new dishwasher, washer and dryer.

Four of our adults daughters and one infant granddaughter along with my husband and myself stayed in the home. Everything we could possibly need was there. We would able to invite our extended family back after my father's funeral. It was such a blessing to be able to do so.

Restaurants, grocery stores etc are located within a 5 minute drive.

We would all HIGHLY RECOMMEND this home to anyone. It is very affordable priced. We hope to have the opportunity to stay again in the future.

The Management Company was excellent as well.

Our family had a great time staying in this lovely house set in a quiet semi rural area near the sea. The house is very well equipped with everything you need while on holiday from patio tables/chairs, BBQ to an abundance of clean towels. There are short and long walks to and along the sea shore and through the countryside.

We arrived at Heron's Landing and within a few minutes Richard was there to greet us and show me around the house. What a beautiful spot, tree-lined, yet so close to the Sound. It is in a great neighborhood with friendly people and dogs who behaved so well. We were definitely impressed. The glass front house was so beautiful.Having a downstairs proved a blessing as some of us got tired and were able to go to that floor, watch tv, eat, sleep, etc.without bothering others. This is what I would call the kids floor. Games, books, etc. everywhere. We are all over 60, but still enjoyed the bedroom downstairs with two bunks. Everyone slept very well, and those who gave recommendations to us of places to see, eat and go to visit, were so helpful. Buchart Gardens wowed all of us and we were totally impressed. If there was one negative about the house, it was all the spiders and webs behind the tv's and some of the furniture. But overall, we would certainly recommend Heron's Landing to those visiting Victoria. Hope to return.

EMR Response

Thank you for your review of Heron's Landing. Yes, the lower level of the house does provide a nice area to 'get away' from it all and relax if needed. Apologies for the cob webs - if a property is empty between bookings, webs can appear, especially at this time of year. A quick call to our office could have assisted with this as we would have sent out a staff person to take care of it for you.

And the location couldn't have been better - located within a 45 minute drive from everything we did whale watching excursion, scuba diving, kayaking, hiking, golfing both regular and miniature, peaceful walks, wineries, beach walking and much more we didn't do! The weather was also wonderful. We highly recommend this beautiful house and vacation spot to anyone!

We spent the month of March in Sidney and were very comfortable at Heron's Landing. The house is comfortable with two gas fireplaces, comfy beds, a well equipped kitchen and lots of room. Our daughter and her family visited us there for a week and the accommodations for six of us were very good with plenty of space for everyone. EMR were efficient and helpful with everything ready for us when we arrived. We would recommend this rental to families and two or three couples to share.

it was the perfect home for our Christmas family reunion. it was clean, the kitchen was well stocked with cooking appliances, the bedrooms were cozy and comfortable and the living space was relaxing. we loved having the lower level for games and TV. the children loved all the great toys and adults played some board games. I would definitely do it again and would love to rent it during the summer if available. the back deck and yard are beautiful. it is a short walk to the water and there is a nice walking trail.

Thank you for your review of Heron's Landing, It sounds like this was a prefect property for your family Christmas Reunion. One of our staff will be in touch with you to follow up on availability for the summer season.

Our family recently spent three nights at Heron's Landing and enjoyed everything about the house. We have rented homes for vacation stays many times and thought this was one of the best. The location close to Pat Bay is appealing and the neighbourhood has a great feel to it. The proximity to the airport is handy and we weren't troubled by hearing the occasional airplane overhead. The house is attractive and very comfortable, but what particularly impressed us was how immaculate and well organized it is. The house is very well stocked with dishes, cutlery, pots and pans etc. and since we like to cook this was important. The binder of information we were given was the most comprehensive we have ever seen, with an inventory of where to find anything we needed. We were warmly welcomed by Jeanette of EMR Vacation Rentals who gave us a thorough tour of the house so we felt secure that if we had any problems we didn't Jeanette would sort them out. All in all, it was a great experience and we hope to go back.

Our group had a great stay at Heron's Landing and it was perfectly located for the event we were attending at Elk Lake. The close proximity to Sidney was also really useful for groceries, etc. The only minor negative aspect was some aspects of cleaning or lack of it. For a 200 fee, I would not expect to have to re-wash a lot of items in the kitchen perhaps they shouldn't trust the dishwasher to do the job and one of our party also found a neat pile of toenails on one of the nightstands. Heavy dust on top of the fridge and ceiling fans is easy to deal with, so there's not really any excuse there either. Get your cleaning company to earn their money!

EMR Response

Thank you very much for your kind review of the Heron's Landing. We are very happy to know you enjoyed your stay. However, we are not pleased to read about the cleaning concerns you had during your stay. We do let our guests know to call us to let us know if you have any concerns about the property while staying in the property. We are quick to act on any concerns like you experienced with a few items missed by our cleaners. We have brought this issue to the attention of our cleaners to ensure this does not happen again.

My family and I enjoyed a two week stay at Heron's Landing in Sidney, BC. The layout of the house made it easy both for our group to be together for meals and visiting, and for individuals to have private time. The beds were comfortable the linens of good quality the kitchen functional the laundry facilities very convenient. The weather was not quite warm enough for us to enjoy the decks and garden although we did use the BBQ.

I was very pleased to have a house where my family and friends could stay over the day before and day after our wedding. We were happy with the space and location. The only downside was that I had prefaced my reservation asking if it would be ok to have an open house mid afternoon the day following our wedding as I wanted to b clear about our reason for renting a house and the property management company left me a voice mail an hour before my wedding saying they needed to speak about it right away. It was disappointing that they didn't have all emails I sent on file as I tried to be as transparent as possible about the open house and someone calling to tell me it might be a problem was a bit stressful. The property management was very professional and it was a non issue as it was roughly 20-30 people who stopped over the course of 5hrs mid-day when noise was not an issue. Overall the property was beautiful and we enjoyed our stay.

EMR Response

Thank you for your review of Heron's Landing. As we normally do not allow for events to take place in our properties, we called to ensure that the parking and noise would not be an issue as this is a residential neighbourhood. We do appreciate your booking and congratulations with your wedding.

We enjoyed our stay. The property is very spacious and in good condition. The location is very convenient for Sidney and the surrounding area. Our only issue was that the house,particularly the upstairs bedroom ,was unbearably hot. I know the weather has been exceptional but stronger fans are required for when the weather is so good. I am also not sure why the sprinkler system has to come on in the middle of the night as it did disturb our sleep for the first few nights. However despite these two points we would recommend the property.

EMR Response

Thank you for your kind review of Heron's Landing. Yes, you are correct, the weather has been warmer than usual for this time of year. The sprinkler system is set through out the night, so that the grass does not burn in the daytime sun, and the water does the best job in watering the lawn. We look forward to you staying with us in the future. Thank you for staying at Heron's Landing!

The place was much more than expected. The house was clean, the supplies ample, very spacious and the location was great.

Really enjoyed the stay. I suggest that the property description includes greater detail about the separate residence on the property... it should be made clear that this refers to the basement had we have known this we would have chosen a different location. Trying to keep our two your children quiet and respectful of the occupants of the basement suite was a full time job and really took away from our enjoyment unfortunately. That said there weren't any complaints from the tenants... but as a respectful and mindful renter it just didn't turn out to be a good fit for us. I wouldn't recommend this property to families with toddlers unless they are very calm and quiet unlike ours!or unless the parents simply don't care.

Home is well equipped and a nice place to spend as a family 7 of us and is well priced - it's got space, it's got games / movies, fully equiped kitchen / bbq / laundry. Location is great, nice places to run and stroll right out the door, relatively close to gas/groceries. Would definately rent again if I was in the area and have no problem to highly recommend to others. Would have been nice to have access to the garage - but really quiet street, so was ok w parking outside.
