What a beautiful space! My wife and I were getting married near by and the house was absolutely perfect to accommodate our every need! Nessie was kind to let us use the house as our getting ready location. Its spacious, clean, very well decorated and the back deck was a little haven! Beds were comfortable, kitchen fully stocked and large, plenty of space for leisure, and the host was very receptive and kind. Highly recommend

This was the perfect home base for our trip. We started and ended each day on the lovely patio while enjoying the quiet neighborhood, flowers, and birds. The house was well appointed, and Nessie was an excellent, responsive host. I would absolutely stay here again.

This was a wonderful private home to stay in while in Victoria. Everything was drivable within 15 or 20 minutes. Quiet street. Beautiful kitchen set up with extras for the guests. Owner welcomes you to use anything in the kitchen. Signature feature is the gorgeous backyard deck lush with plants and flowering bushes. Owner very responsive to communications. We highly recommend anyone looking for a VRBO home to stay
