You will also find that the cottage will have the beds made up for your arrival with fresh linens. An appropriate number of towels will also await your arrival. Housekeeping will replace all linens and towels on scheduled housekeeping days. If you need anything else, please do not hesitate to contact us before or during your stay.

Housekeeping is provided as per the schedule arranged at the time of booking. A majority of our guests opt for weekly or twice monthly housekeeping, but feel free to arrange for any schedule that suits you. The cottage is also equipped with a vacuum cleaner should you want to do little cleaning yourself.

You have the whole apartment to yourselves. Access is at the left side of the building and everything is on the ground floor.

We live in the same building so although you can check in electronically with your code we will be on the premises throughout your stay should you need anything.

We just finished building this property in 2019 and it was designed with vacation rentals in mind. We've been hosts previously in other properties for the last 15 years so we had a good idea of what we did and didn't want and hopefully we got it right to make your stay the best.

There's a selection of hot drinks available when you get here along with milk, bread for toast and a selection of spreads. There is a full kitchen if you want to cook during your stay or there is a restaurant and pub both within a 10 minute walk if you don't. And plenty choices for food delivery.

We have easy access to the highway and buses. And if you need it there is a car rental office just a block away. There are bike trails that will take you all over the peninsula and down to Victoria if you the energy.

Convenient location, spacious, clean, comfortable
We were talking a week long vacation to see more of this this area of the island. We hiked numerous trails, visited museums, walked downtown on sidewalk sale day, checked out art galleries etc. Something to do every day and more activities we would like to have done, but ran out of vacation. Next Time!

Perfect little spot
Molly's Cottage was a perfect stay for me. Clean and adequately equipped (just enough items - not too many or too little) Also, the milk, butter tarts and other items in the fridge was such a lovely touch. I would stay again for sure!

A Comfy Stay
A very clean, quiet, bright and comfortable two bedroom basement suite. We enjoyed our 12 night stay with all the amenities one would need. The Keurig coffee maker and butter tarts were a nice bonus. Thank you! Just be aware you need a car to go into Sidney but only a 5 min drive.

Molly's College was my first experience with a VRBO. It was better than any hotel. It's immaculately clean, well decorated, has so many conveniences. I definitely recommend Molly's Cottage. Do not hesitate to book it immediately!

Great 2-Bedroom Unit
The unit was very well appointed and clean. The owners put a lot of thought into the set up, down to the automatic night lights to light your way to the bathroom during the night. Variety of coffees, hot cocoa, tea and plenty of books, and games. We didn't do any cooking after our busy holidays, but the kitchen is ready for cooking. Hard to find 2-bedroom rentals for a reasonable price so this was a great find!

Pristine, cosy, and quiet dwelling
New accomodations in a quiet neighborhood. A cosy, and well equipped 2 bedroom, one bath home met all our expectations. Close to Sidney, BC Ferries and regional airport and within 20 minutes to Victoria. We enjoyed our stay with new furnishings, comfortable beds, laundry in house, and a well stocked kitchen. Coffee, tea, milk, butter, bread, and muffins were provided as a part of the welcoming hospitality. We especially appreciated the owner's notebook which clearly explained functions of the systems, including heating and television. Thanks for a wonderful place to stay!

Molly's Cottage is cozy and clean with joyful pops of colour everywhere. It has a great location as it is close to the airport, ferry, town of Sydney, and Butchart gardens. Also, from here it was a pretty short drive to Victoria. It is a peaceful and quiet vacation apartment that we would absolutely stay at again!

Perfect!
We were in town for a wedding and this place was absolutely perfect. The property itself is very cozy and very clean. Downtown Sidney is about a 30-45 min walk so having a car when staying here is ideal. The hosts are quick to respond to messages but leave you to do your thing while staying. There were tons of nice touches from the treats left in the fridge to the large selection of coffee. Would absolutely stay again!!

Lovely!
We loved our stay at Molly's Cottage. It was the perfect place to come home to for a weekend getaway. The suite is cozy, comfortable, and ultra clean! All of Joan and Colin's personal touches made us feel so welcome. We were fortunate the weather stayed dry, but rain would not have spoiled our stay. I could've spent my whole weekend "stuck" at Molly's and it would've been just fine. Thank you Joan and Colin!

About the host

Hosted by Colin

Host profile image
We've been here on Vancouver Island 20 years now but just built this property in 2019. It was planned as a vacation apartment so hopefully it fits all your needs for your stay. We are from the UK and speak English but have spent time in France and Germany so our German and French are a little rusty. French is not too bad as we still have family in Montreal.
We run a honeybee farm with hives scattered all over South Vancouver Island producing honey and other products.

Why they chose this property

This property is at the quiet end of town just on the edge of the rural community. It is rural enough but the Chinese, Indian, Thai and Pizza restaurants all still deliver to it. Within a ten minute walk of the pub, coffee shop and beach it's an ideal spot for us. And easy access to the highway means we can be in Victoria in 15 minutes or Sidney centre in 3 minutes. And the closeness of the airport and ferry terminals mean an easy trip to the mainland should the need arise.

What makes this property unique

Vancouver Island is not Vancouver. In our community garden we have bald eagles nesting that we can see from our own back garden. From Sidney beach you can see orcas, seals, sea lions, dolphins and at the right time of year humpback whales. Take a trip to Victoria and there are wild deer roaming everywhere. We also have bears, elk, wolves and cougars on the South Island but they are harder to spot. But even without the wildlife there are cycle and hiking trails, parks large and small, beaches and mountains, easy access to the Gulf and San Juan islands and so much to explore.
At the same time we have Victoria with its history and culture. Home to the Pacific Opera, Victoria Symphony and several theatres. And if that's not your thing there's concerts almost weekly throughout the year with many big name bands and musicians.
Or take in a free concert every evening in the Summer at the world famous Butchart Gardens. Or every Sunday at the Sidney Outdoor Pavilion.
Not looking for music then come to North Saanich and learn to fly at the VIctoria Flying Club. Or learn to scuba dive in what they say is the best scuba diving area in the world. Or learn to sail around the Gulf Island and the San Juans, some of the most challenging and beautiful areas of water anywhere.
Or just visit us for an event. The South Island is host to many marathons, IronMans, cycle events, festivals, fairs, shows throughout the year. Check the diary and there will be something happening.
