My husband and I wanted a place to stay where we could access downtown Victoria, but also be convenient to trails and other outdoor activities. This place was perfect.
Location: 30 minute easy drive to the heart of Victoria, and 15 minutes from many, many trailheads. We walked through temperate rain-forests and up rocky cliffsides. So easy to access! We were also very convenient to groceries, etc. and in an absolutely lovely, quiet neighborhood. Owners are nearby, but completely unobtrusive.
Quality: we have stayed in a lot of VRBOs, and this was one of the nicest. Just the quality of kitchenware, sheets, etc. was superb. They even supply some plastic wrap, coffee filters, laundry soap, etc. so you don’t have to buy everything!
The place is not large, but it was plenty for the two of us. We would definitely stay here again if we ever make it back to Vancouver Island!
