The property was everything we expected …the parking garage was very small and was the only place to park…so rent a small vehicle…the only issue we had was communication with VRBO…they never got back to us at all about our inquiries . The actual host of the cottage was great. We loved our stay and would highly recommend.

The house felt like home. The host, Rick, called ahead of time to make arrangements to meet us to make sure we had all the details we needed. The rental owner, Jim, came and introduced himself which was such a personal touch. The home had a great variety of games and books for all ages. The view was awesome and Sidney is a place that continues to draw us back.

A lovely get away!

We love staying at Heron View Cottage. I travel with my elderly mother and everything is easily accessible for her. It is clean and the location makes you feel like you're truly on vacation. It is convenient for the Butchart Gardens and downtown Victoria is also easy to get to. Jim is a lovely host.

Beautiful

The home and surrounding areas were just perfect, quiet and very convenient. We are a senior couple, travelling with my sister. It was lovely having two separate bedrooms with their own bathroom, and lots of seating options.
