About this property

Oceanfront Retreat: Near Airport & Ferry. Perfect for Families

  • Oceanfront Grandeur: Snow-Capped Peaks & Ferry Tales at Roberts Bay

    【Private West Coast Panorama】
    Embark on a uniquely paced island life at this half-acre private waterfront sanctuary. Perched on a serene hillside within a lush ecological reserve, this 3,300 sq. ft. retreat is more than just a place to stay—it is your "first-class" observation deck for the Salish Sea.

    In the quiet of the morning, you can grind fresh coffee while watching the majestic BC Ferries glide gracefully across the deep blue waters. On clear days, the breathtaking snow-capped peaks of Mt. Baker rise on the horizon, creating a stunning masterpiece where mountains, the bay, and the vibrant terminal rhythms intertwine.

    【A Deep Conversation with Nature】
    Here, nature is your closest neighbour. Without even stepping outside, you can watch deer wandering across the lawn, eagles soaring overhead, or catch a rare, heart-stopping glimpse of a whale breaching in the distance. From the golden sunrise over the bay to the tranquil evening lights of the marina, every window frames a living oil painting.

    【Tailor-Made for Family Getaways】
    We understand the needs of multi-generational families and large groups, which is why we’ve designed a highly accommodating living space:

    - Dual Living Zones: Featuring 2 fully equipped kitchens, 2 cozy living areas, and 2 laundry setups. This means early-bird coffee lovers and late-night movie buffs can enjoy their own rhythms without ever crossing paths.

    - Thoughtful Accessibility: We prioritize the comfort of seniors and those with limited mobility. The transition from the entrance to the main floor involves only two shallow steps. With wide 36-inch doorways and the ability to park directly in front of the entrance or in the garage, your arrival and departure will be effortless.

    【The Peninsula’s Golden Location】
    Ideally situated to make your Vancouver Island adventure seamless:

    10-mins drive or 20-mins stroll: To the BC Ferry Terminal.

    15-mins drive: To Victoria International Airport (YYJ).

    10-mins drive: To the charming seaside town of Sidney, where you can fish and crab off the pier or browse famous bookshops.

    20-mins drive: To the world-renowned Butchart Gardens.

    30-mins drive: To Victoria’s Inner Harbour and historic Chinatown.

    【Premium Professional Amenities】

    Entertainment Hub: Equipped with a 4K Premium TV package (including sports channels) and a Home Karaoke system for unforgettable family nights.

    Five-Star Cleanliness: We use professional high-temperature steam equipment to ensure the home is pristine, eco-friendly, and sanitized for your health.

    【A Legacy of Happy Memories】
    Having hosted hundreds of multi-generational families, we take pride in being the backdrop for memories that last a lifetime. From the gentle chime of the ferry whistle to the quiet calm of the bay, this is your warmest home away from home in Victoria.

    Ready to wake up in the embrace of snow-capped mountains and the sea? Book your dream vacation today!

This charming and extremely spacious property was perfect for us...the views cant be beat and the location was perfect. In a quiet neighborhood, but easy drive to everything. The house was very clean and the kitchen very well stocked. We went to the grocery 10 minutes away and had both wonderful dinners and breakfasts. I would absolutely come here again, and we were sad to leave this lovely home. The owner was very quick to respond to every question, and so welcoming.

Wonderful vacation

The house was wonderful and right on the water. It has a sunroom with a beautiful ocean view. We thought being next to the ferries would be a drawback but it didn’t bother us at all. It was a great family vacation.

Oasis on the ocean

A beautiful home to spend time with family after celebrating a family wedding. We loved watching the ferry and boats outside our window and there was so much room for us eight adults to enjoy. It had everything we needed and I would love to stay there again.

Perfect family holiday

We had a wonderful family holiday with my 87 year old parents. The house was perfect for the 10 of us with lots of space for gathering, but also enough space to spread out and get quite time. The location is stunning, and ferry watching was daily activity.

Everything about this property was wonderful. Plenty of bathrooms. Two kitchens. A large gas grill. A wood-burning fireplace. And this is before you get to the view: a peaceful inlet watching ferries go in and out of port. A calm and relaxing stay.

Perfect house for a large group

The house was perfect for our group of 11. It couldn't have been any closer to the ferry station. We sat on the patio and watched them come and go in the evenings. Check-in was very easy.

The house is fantastic with lots of room for our group of 6. The kitchen is well supplied and the house was clean and inviting.The views of the ocean and the ferry terminal were great. The karaoke room was well used by our group. Tons of fun and laughter. The host was fantastic to work with and responded quickly to inquiries. If you have a large group, (or a small one), this property will not disappoint. It's just a few minutes from the Victoria Airport.

Family Trip to Vancouver Island

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this home. Everything was spotless, and the check-in process was effortless. The home was well-stocked with all the essentials, making our stay comfortable and worry-free. The host was communicative, ensuring that our experience was seamless from start to finish. Vancouver Island is truly a breathtaking destination, and this home’s location made it even more special. We filled our days with exciting excursions, delicious food, and the beauty of the local wildlife, all within a welcoming and vibrant community. We’re incredibly grateful for our stay and would highly recommend this place to others.

A peaceful spot for a gathering of friends

Zoe was very communicative, property was very clean and well cared for. Plenty of space for all 8 of us. Not far from Sydney at all. While you cannot access the beach from the property, there are a few public access points nearby. Make sure to consult a tide chart before going because there is not much beach at high tide at all. Note: The ferry terminal is very near this property. If you are a light sleeper, the rumbling of the boats might keep you up. On the other hand, it might lull you to sleep.

Perfect Family Vacation Home

From the very onset of communication Zoe was a top tier Host! There is nothing that we could’ve imagined or wanted for that she did not already provide! To be honest, we are EXTREMELY picky .. having been a VEBO Host family for years with a similarly sized home on the ocean in Fla. FIVE STARS all around because this home exceeded our expectations on every level. The views are GORGEOUS- the comfort of the furnishings and layout are perfect for hosting a large multi generational family. With a toddler grandbaby the first floor bedroom, lounge and second kitchen and dining area were PERFECTION! Zoe has the home well stocked with anything you’ll need and things you didn’t know you’ll need! It has been our utmost pleasure staying in her Victoria home!! Thank you for being such an extraordinary hostess!!

Just what we wanted

It asks for ages, and saying adults, is not quite correct. We are a group of senior ladies (72-86), who get together for our yearly getaway. This year there were 8 of us. A beautiful place to be, in Sydney. An ever changing waterfront ,view, was ours for our 4 day stay. Had all we could want. Walking paths in the bushes, everywhere, which we enjoyed each day!! Large table, in kitchen, where we could play board games/cards!! Cooked all our meals, in the well stocked kitchen, as we are “ old school”. We hope to return next year, as it was all we could ask for!!!

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean when we arrived and very well stocked. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and toilet paper in all the bathrooms and the kitchen was very well stocked with coffee, sugar, creamer, and paper towels. This is the first time I can remember that we didn't have to go out and purchase these types of supplies. Also, a pet peave of mine, the kitchen knives were sharp and there was even a knife sharpener.All that aside, the best part of the house is it's location and the beautiful views from the sun room. Every morning we would sit and drink our morning coffee in the sun room enjoying the view and the coming and goings of the ferries.The house is large, 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, so room for quite a group. We didn't use all the bedrooms, but appreciated the bathrooms.
