Private large up to 3 bedrooms waterfront suite,pet friendly.

Located in the marina district of a quiet executive neighbourhood, this waterfront 1,600sq ft, 2 bedroom tidal oceanfront fully self contained suite overlooks a very secluded national migratory bird estuary all from your covered deck and is a great base for seeing all of the attractions of the peninsula and Victoria.

As you enter through your private entrance, there is a spacious living area with 42” cable and wifi TV. The garden queen bedroom is on the left. From there you pass the ocean view queen bedroom onto the open design kitchen, dining area, bathroom and second TV area that overlooks a private 600’ covered patio with views into the 1/2 acre woodlands and onto views of the ocean waterfront. We provide linens, towels, soaps, shampoos and some teas and coffee.

Shops and restaurants in Sidney is less than a 5 minute car ride or walk thru the National Park, nature parks and flat trails to town. Major attractions are close including Butchard Gardens. Sidney is known for great events and shows including Thursday night street summer markets, Weekend concerts on the beach, glass beach and the many independent shops.

I was meeting with my sister for a family visit. The space was totally perfect; we have two very young children and the place was ideal for letting them crawl around and interact with their aunt for the first time. Very clean, plenty of space and relaxing to be there. The host was also very easy to communicate with.

Limited utensils, bowl , cups No cabinet or drawers to put our things in the second bedroom. If you are staying in the place for one week or more there should be some place to put our clothes instead of just in the suitcase. I think my expectations was way high Since I have stayed with the same rating with other ArbNB. I wouldn’t describe the place as family friendly. It’s an ok place . Read the

Our host, Scott, was always quick to respond to all questions or requests from our first communication. The house worked great for our grown family of five, son-in-law and new grandson. We had all four rooms with very comfortable beds. The queen room in main area has a beautiful water view and the two King suites were perfect for providing privacy, including their own bathrooms. The covered deck overlooking the water was cozy with comfortable chairs. Great for morning coffee and birdwatching. Location was also a plus as near the airport and easy to go on day trips. Loved our stay.

Quiet relaxed home close to lagoon and ferry terminal

We enjoyed this property for 2 weeks in June-July, including the Canada day holiday. Large covered deck overlooking tidal lagoon is very relaxing. Enjoyed the Canada Day events in Sidney and riding bikes to Swartz Bay ferries for day trips. We may well return next summer. If we go again we would check tide table ahead of time for afternoon paddleboarding. Interior of property comfortable.

Nature and proximity

Overall the stay was wonderful. We had nature, space, proximity to Sidney and we where next to the ferry terminal. The VRBO was spacious, clean, and was located in a beautiful neighborhood. We got to see many birds all around.The reason why I did not give it the full 5 stars was because one night seemed to have been a party night at the stay. I was unable to sleep. It killed the nature vibe and quietness that we were expecting. We thought that by 10pm the noise was going to stop but it didn't.
