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 house for a large group

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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!!!

Amazing home, beautiful.

We were a group of six 30+ women who stayed together for several days to enjoy eachother's company and have a nice place by the water to relax and from which to do day trips. The place itself was absolutely beautiful and had so much character. It was huge and it was so nice to have a lot of space. The kitchen was well-stocked and everything was very clean. We loved the solarium and saw a pod of 7 orcas thanks to the conveniently placed binoculars! We also used the karaoke room, so fun though you need to download an app or use youtube. It was very close to the ferry terminal, which is convenient if you plan on using them. The ferries were a bit loud in the morning, but that is to be expected. There are some nice local trails and lookouts to explore in North Sannich, and it was very close to the airport, Sidney, Butchart Gardens, and I'm sure a lot of other great amenities. It is about a 35 minute drive to Victoria which was great. Totally recommend, what a lovely place and accomodating host. Thank you!
