This reservation was perfect for our family. The hosts are very clear on the property’s condition and it’s a fair assessment but no words can describe the incredible view!!! Rain or shine we strolled the beach and enjoyed a nice drink watching the water and sky change beautifully! Host was easy to communicate with and accommodating. We would definitely come back!

Fantastic location and ocean views!

We stayed at this incredible location while visiting our son at UVIC. The ocean views are amazing and the house is spacious and well set up. The hosts are very responsive and helpful and we appreciated that. We hope to be back Erik and Ru!

Great location with a great view

Check in and checkout was a breeze. Eric was highly responsive and very generous letting us borrow the paddle boards for a little trip out to the island with the seals in front of the property. This is a great central location, close to airport and many other attractions that the island has to offer. Last but not least, the sunrise view over the ocean is absolutely breathtaking!

The property is unique. It is a cozy beachfront retreat. Perfect location for the Ironman event at Elk/Beaver Lake. Hosts were very clear with instructions/great communication and accurate description of the property. We loved our stay!! Well equipped and loved sitting in the sunroom sipping our coffee in the morning gazing out at the ocean and listening to the waves. Easy street parking too.

Wonderful View Every Morning !

A great location - perfect to get around to different parts of Victoria and Sydney. Very easy in/out and check in and comfortable beds. Oh, did I mention the totally awesome view out the back? Wow. Beachfront, water and view of San Juan Islands and others. Really a wonderful spot to wake up. Glad we picked it!

Dream vacation

We fell in love with Cordova Bay. Beautiful, walks, memories...Convenient location. We loved the new Hara sushi restaurant and Italian market just walking distance up the street. Erik is the best host, and because of his recommendations we were able to see orca whales. We had the best time, hope to be back for more memories in the future, although these will last a lifetime.

Cordova Beach

It was wonderful. You really cannot beat the view. We spent a lot of time in the sun room starting at the ocean. We loved that the house felt like home but away from home. Enough room for 4 adults and 2 teenagers. Easy access to beach. Erik was wonderful about communicating with me. The grocery store (Red Barn) had everything we needed for the time we were there. The extra air mattress and hide abed was greatly appreciated. We could use the smart TV to watch Netflix. We loved that they had all the kitchen cabinets full of what you need to use to cook with and eat on. Did some laundry with the detergent provided. Easy loading dishwasher. Everything was perfect! 10/10

The Ocean Suite is lovely. Lots of light, beautiful panoramic view, everything as described. A great launch point for trips into Victoria, and far enough from the city to feel like a getaway/beach vacation. Parking was easily available on the street, heat pumps in the unit for cooling were a plus, because we had nothing but sunny days to enjoy while we were here. Good communication with the hosts, we would be happy to come back again.
