About this property

Private large up to 3 bedrooms waterfront suite,pet friendly.

Located in the marina district of a quiet executive neighbourhood, this waterfront 1,600sq ft, 2 bedroom tidal oceanfront fully self contained suite overlooks a very secluded national migratory bird estuary all from your covered deck and is a great base for seeing all of the attractions of the peninsula and Victoria. There is an option for an 3rd king bedroom suite included with 5th/6th (additional charge of $125 per night 4 guests or under per room). Additional cleaning charge of $50.

As you enter through your private entrance, there is a spacious living area with 42” cable and wifi TV. The garden queen bedroom is on the left. From there you pass the ocean view queen bedroom onto the open design kitchen, dining area, bathroom and second TV area that overlooks a private 600’ covered patio with views into the 1/2 acre woodlands and onto views of the ocean waterfront. We provide linens, towels, soaps, shampoos and some teas and coffee.

Shops and restaurants in Sidney is less than a 5 minute car ride or walk thru the National Park, nature parks and flat trails to town. Major attractions are close including Butchard Gardens. Sidney is known for great events and shows including Thursday night street summer markets, Weekend concerts on the beach, glass beach and the many independent shops. Minutes from the BC ferry, USA ferry and Victoria airport.

Please talk to us about bringing your pet as we welcome the whole gang!

Scott and the boys welcome you to come and relax and enjoy the island from the Tsehum harbour.

Our host, Scott, was always quick to respond to all questions or requests from our first communication. The house worked great for our grown family of five, son-in-law and new grandson. We had all four rooms with very comfortable beds. The queen room in main area has a beautiful water view and the two King suites were perfect for providing privacy, including their own bathrooms. The covered deck overlooking the water was cozy with comfortable chairs. Great for morning coffee and birdwatching. Location was also a plus as near the airport and easy to go on day trips. Loved our stay.

Quiet relaxed home close to lagoon and ferry terminal

We enjoyed this property for 2 weeks in June-July, including the Canada day holiday. Large covered deck overlooking tidal lagoon is very relaxing. Enjoyed the Canada Day events in Sidney and riding bikes to Swartz Bay ferries for day trips. We may well return next summer. If we go again we would check tide table ahead of time for afternoon paddleboarding. Interior of property comfortable.

About the host

Hosted by Scotty Henderson

Host profile image
From Manitoba and Vancouver, we both have been in hospitality previously and have remained advid travellers having done several world trips. Safety and cleanliness are top priorities that we share from our travels and try to remain unobstructive yet available for our guests.

Why they chose this property

This property gives a sanctity with nature and space to explore. There is a full covered deck to listen to the birds and watch the tides come and go over the grassy plains. The beds are hotel quality and the suite provides most of the comforts of home hopefully with a few new touches. Shops and restaurants in Sidney is less than a 5 minute car ride or walk thru the National Park, parks and flat trails to town.
