About this property

Scenery and Serenity - Delight in your holiday retreat

  • Are you interested in a peaceful place with fabulous views to retreat to after the bustle of the city? Great location near Esquimalt Lagoon and Royal Bay seaside parks, Pearson College of the Pacific, Royal Roads University, Galloping Goose hiking and biking trail, as well as many shopping opportunities from box stores to quaint neighbourhood bistros. Downtown Victoria is accessible by bus or car in an easy 30 minute drive and the bus stop is a short walk away. Many sports opportunities are available from fishing (lake or ocean), golfing (Royal Colwood and Olympic View Golf Clubs are 5 minutes away, Highland Pacific and Bear Mountain Golf Resort are 15 minutes away), as well as hiking and biking. The community is home to many Canadian sports development centres - tennis, golf, rugby, biking, rowing to name a few.

    All the comforts of home are available with a well equipped kitchen with BBQ available, as well as washer and dryer and dishwasher, cable TV and a dedicated study area for any school or work related commitments. Bright sunny rooms with 9 foot ceilings and expansive windows give a marvelous view over the water to Victoria. Please no smoking and no pets in the suite or on the premises.

Beautiful

We had the whole lower level of a lovely home in a quiet neighborhood. It had high ceilings and lots of windows with a nice view. Everything about the place was well done, well equipped and very clean. Ruth was a great hostess who had tried to think of everything including a welcome basket filled with treats. Thank you, Ruth.

Amazing stay. Fabulous home

I can’t say enough about this beautiful home. We arched the full moon rise and then the next morning saw the sunrise. Very comfortable, clean and exceptionally well-equipped. Ruth responded immediately with our questions. Located near all the things we wanted to do- hike, pickleball, stand up paddle boarding and visiting downtown ( 30 minutes away. Loved it all. Thanks a million, Ruth.
