Everything was very tidy & organized. We had 3 adults & 1 infant. The stairs to access the facility were lengthy, but safe to use. The area was so very quiet & beds very comfortable. Kitchen was open & easy to meal prep. Was able to communicate with owner as needed. We all had a great stay !! Would return to this rental again. Sandee Youzwa(Saskatchewan)

Family visit

Travelling with a 90 year old father and 3 family members I knew it would be difficult. However the place was large enough that we were able to have space for some alone time as required Lovely home and everything was amazing. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us.

Lovely house, great location

My friend and I stayed in this lovely home for 5 nights. It was clean, close to restaurants and places to hike. On our second day we notified Melinda that we had an issue with the shower curtain rod and within minutes she come over to assess the problem. Melinda and Mike were quick to replace the curtain rod and there were no issues after that. I've stayed in several rental homes and this is the best one yet. And our hosts were wonderful to work with.

Excellent stay, best location.

We just stayed here as our Condo was being renovated. The accommodation is so much more then we expected. Well stocked kitchen, very comfortable beds. Great Communications with Melinda. Very close to the main bus line, you don't really need a car to stay here. Within walking distance to the Hospital . We would highly recommend this cute Carriage house for your stay in the Victoria Area.

Amazing apartment!

This is one of the best VRBO stays that we've had. The apartment is large and exactly like the photos. The hosts were accessible if needed and helpful with hints of where to eat. I can't express just how comfortable we were in this quiet space. This only thing I would tell readers would be to not book if you have any mobility issues. The space is above a three car garage and you must carry your bags up a good flight of outside stairs. We knew this, and booked anyway because the place looked so lovely. We both have mobility issues so the climb was difficult for us but worth it. Also we both developed colds so those beds were wonderful places to rest! Thank you and I hope we can come again!
