This property was just perfect for what my friends and I needed. The location was excellent for visiting Butchart Gardens, and only a fifteen minute drive to beautiful downtown. It was very quiet and felt secluded, giving us the rest and relaxation we hoped for. The beds were very comfortable. The host gave excellent communication and addressed our one request very quickly. We truly appreciated the home, its coziness, and its spaciousness. Our only recommendations would be to update some of the kitchen supplies (pans, cookware) and to repair the items that do not work properly instead of writing "how-to" notes for working around the issues. Those are minor issues in the big picture, though. Thank you for a great stay Seymour!

Great location and plenty of space! Super close to everything you need: Butchart Gardens, Butterfly Garden, shopping (grocery / market, pizza, coffee house, pharmacy, pub). A short drive to Victoria. Had fun playing pool. Lovely views from the back porch. Quick responses from host. Easy access to private off street parking. Quiet, friendly neighborhood. Only minor complaint, while the home’s temperature is reasonably maintained, climate controls are locked. With the mild spring weather, it fortunately wasn’t an issue for us. There is a contact phone number for temperature adjustments, so it’s good to know changes can be made for guests who might prefer warmer or cooler. Overall very happy with our stay.

Lovely home in a nice quiet area. Would not recommend for families with small children due to the drop off in the small back yard. Very convenient to Butchart Gardens.

Hi everyone and thank you for staying. A few weeks before your stay a welcome note with check in instructions is sent out. In those instructions along with the check in details, the following is shared. "There is a lower yard with a path down to it, however there is a sharp drop off that could be a potential for a fall. Also please watch when driving in and out of the property because, there are often children playing on the street below, and sometimes on the drive way itself. Your safety is very important to me. Wishing everyone the best of luck and good health. Thanks
