About this property
Fully-equipped, comfortable, modern oceanfront suite (right on the beach!)

Note: This property is compliant with the principal residence requirement of the BC Short Term Rental Accommodation Act that came into effect May 1, 2024. Our registration number is H616204493.

More information The space
Our suite has a full well-equipped kitchen, a cozy gas fireplace and a luxurious bathroom with heated floors, large walk-in shower and locally made soaps and shampoo etc. It’s equipped with in-suite washer and dryer and more closet space than you’ll need even for longer stays.
The suite has its own private entrance with keycode lock, so you can come and go as you wish. We live on the property but we respect your privacy and you may not even see us during your stay - unless you want to, in which case we'll be happy to help out with recommendations, directions, or other arrangements.
We're renting the unit as a studio for one party of guests, with a sleeping area separated by sliding screens. An adjoining bedroom may be available for guests with family or for those wishing a fully separate sleeping space; please contact us for rates.
Guest access
Feel free to relax and dine on the patio, in the yard, in the big red chairs beachside, or of course on the beach itself. Let us know if you want to borrow the rowboat for a beautiful excursion along the shoreline if you are experienced on the water.
Interaction with guests
We live on the property and are available if you need assistance, but we will respect your privacy. With key-code entry you might not even see us - unless you want to, in which case we'd be happy to recommend local restaurants and attractions, good hikes, etc.
Other things to note
While the beach is eminently walkable, you'll need to walk down three steps and hop across a few logs to get there. Watch your step!
We don't have cable but you're welcome to use our Netflix account, stream wirelessly to the AppleTV or connect your phone or tablet directly to the TV.
There is no phone in the suite so if you don’t have one, just knock on our front door if you need to make a call.

Perfect location. I spent many hours sitting and relaxing at the waters edge being entertained by the geese, ducks and sea gulls. The suite was perfect and I am already looking forward to returning. Wonderful hosts who were always available if needed.
The location is superb- approximately 5 minutes from the airport and Sidney. Every window faces the ocean. That, combined with the gas fireplace, make even rainy days a holiday! Communication with John and Sarah is excellent. This suite is absolutely immaculate and thoroughly stocked.
We were absolutely thrilled with our whole stay! It is an ideal location, and it was immaculately clean! John and Sarah were very kind, friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. We travel extensively and 100% we will be back.

Thank you, Rick! We’re very glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to seeing you and Cathy again.
So peaceful, quiet and with a gorgeous view. The place was immaculate and felt like home, great communication with the host as well, with no problems at all.
The added local bathroom products were a nice touch.
Would def stay again for sure!
This is our second visit here and we just love it so much! The place is perfect and has everything you need. The location and view are absolutely stunning. John a d Sarah are great! We will be back!
Wonderful waterfront property, wiith gorgeous views of the bay. This studio suite was well equipped for short stays as well as long ones. John & Sarah were awesome hosts. We will be back for another visit.

Thanks, Florian and Nora! We’re glad you enjoyed your stay (again!) and we’re looking forward to your next visit.
This was a fantastic unit! It had everything you would want for a comfortable stay. The ocean view and sound of the waves was a highlight. Seals swam by, sea birds floated in the waves. It was a comfortable walk to town along the waterfront road. The hosts were helpful, friendly and responsive. Would definitely stay again!

Thank you, Brad and Lianne. It was great to see you again! (Btw I think the hummingbird and eagle pictures you already took are pretty spectacular!)
Excellent waterfront property. Very well maintained with beautiful scenery of Bazan Bay. John & Sarah were "Awesome Hosts", very helpful & friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and have booked again for next year. Florian & Nora

Thank you, Nora and Florian! It was a pleasure having you stay with us, and we look forward to seeing you again next year. Have a great summer!
We absolutely loved John and Sarah’s oceanside unit.
It was amazingly peaceful to sit and watch the tide come and go while seeing herons, eagles, hummingbirds and many songbirds we tried to identify with the field book they have in the unit.
We can’t wait to visit again.
The property was situated on Bazan Bay, the views were stunning and only a short distance from Sidney town centre. The hosts John and Sarah were brilliant. The accommodation was spotless and they had supplied everything, and more, that we needed. The accommodation was clean, tidy and in the perfect location. It was beyond what we had expected.
A superb all round experience both indoors and outdoors... excellent location, spotless accommodation with superb attention to detail... cycling, walking, kayaking and everything outside paradise...accessible, attentive, conscientious and caring hosts...and of course starting each day with a Saanich sunrise while lying in bed.

Thanks a lot, Robert! It was great to meet you two, and we look forward to your next visit.
The facility is spotless and has everything you could need. Good kitchen, comfortable bed, great shower and the view is unbelievable. Hosts are available if needed but give you all the privacy you could need! You have the entire downstairs floor to yourselves.👍
This immaculate, comfortable,well stocked suite with beach access and a view of the Salish Sea through every window easily rates a 10. John and Sarah are thoughtful, accessible hosts. The peaceful location is minutes from Victoria airport and Sidney. One has the flexibility to rent as a studio or a one bedroom.I certainly will be a regular visitor! Thanks John and Sarah
Thanks, Robert. It was great having you two stay with us, as always!
See you next time.

About the host
Hosted by John & Sarah
We love the outdoors. We are travellers, hikers, kayakers and adventurers. We feel very lucky to live in this amazing part of the world and on this beautiful land. When we can tear ourselves away from the beach we like to go exploring with our camper van (named Morrison.)
Why they chose this property
We were perfectly happy in our home in downtown Victoria, until one fateful day in the fall of 2016 when we happened to notice a For Sale sign in front of this place. We walked in, looked out the window, and fell in love with the location (right on the ocean) and the incredible views from the big picture windows. We made an offer the same day, and have never looked back! We spent the first year planning this vacation rental suite and having it built - we designed it so that we would be happy living in it ourselves, and we're confident you'll love it too!
What makes this property unique
There's lots to love about our place, but the stars of the show are really the ocean views, the location and the beach access.
