About the host
Hosted by Susan OKeeffe
I grew up in Victoria then moved away for many years. I'm so happy to be back with my wonderful inamorato Clint, living on the Island and sharing our lovely suite and community with travellers.
Why they chose this property
We are so privileged to live on beautiful Tsawout Land. The old-growth forest is literally in our backyard and Island View Beach is a short 6-minute drive away! The best of Vancouver Island is right here!
What makes this property unique
We've got lots of space to spread out and relax without feeling cramped. With two bedrooms and 900 square feet of living space inside, and a cozy firepit/bbq area outside, we've got you covered!
