The perfect weekend get-away!

Jackie and Mike were perfect hosts: Jackie welcomed us with a tour of the property, a list of recommendations and delicious samosas! We couldn't have asked for a better location: convenient to the highway and to Elk Lake. Our dog especially appreciated the large backyard to run around in. This will be our go-to rental for all our trip to Victoria!

To say that Jacky and Mike are exceptional hosts under rates them. It's not possible to do a better job than they do. We stayed for six weeks and had a wonderful experience. Next time we are in Victoria, we will stay with them again. The accommodations were as advertised and the cute sitting area outside the door was great. Since we were traveling with our dog, we had our own private spacious yard for the dog to run in. Just a wonderful stay!

Wonderful Stay at Peaceful Heritage Home!!!

This was my first VRBO stay and first in Victoria , BC, and it was delightful. The location was excellent and close to parks and walks for my dog and very close to Butchart Gardens--my favorite place. The owners Jacky and Mike were so helpful with local information and directions and made us feel at home right away. My Irish Setter Shannon fell in love with both of them. Wish we could have stayed longer

Race weekend

We needed somewhere close to Elk Lake for my husband's triathlon race. This was perfect! It was so close to everything and everywhere we needed ti be plus it provided us the privacy we like. It was so quiet - it was great! The property manager is great! She gave great information on what was within the surrounding area especially food wise. Will highly recommend this location to family and friends!

The extra care was great!

I felt pampered as Jacky had freshly ground coffee and fresh cream on hand and had a bagel ready for my breakfast. She checked in with me to see how my 3 day stay was going and brought me a hot fresh samosa on the second day. She also pointed out the local beach which was only minutes away. This place was exceptionally clean and very well equipped. I would definitely stay here again,.

This is a very unique, special property! Although not directly on the lake, that is of little consequence. The suite and grounds are delightful, lots of access to quaint outdoor spaces with lots of comfortable seating.The suite itself is adorable and very well equipped with everything you could possibly need for a wonderful home stay.But the real gem is the owners! We were made to feel welcome from the instant we stepped out of the car. We were given a tour of the property and given lots of local information. A highlight was fresh bagels in the fridge for breakfast and then delicious samosas to send us on our way to the ferry. Jacky and Mike are attentive to your every need but not intrusive on your privacy. Truly, one of the best home stays we have ever experienced!

A piece of paradise

Our stay was wonderful. It was exactly as pictured. The location was great for seeing all that Victoria had to offer. The bed was big and soft and I didn’t want to to get up in the morning. Water was always hot and the pressure wonderful. The yard was all ours and perfect for our dog. Plus a private patio right outside our door. The unit was ground floor but always very quiet. But the real jewel in the crown is the host Jackie. She could give lessons in hosting. I was talking to her about watching people crabing off the pier in Sydney, and wanting to try ot ourselves. She contacted a friend and we had a crab trap the same day. Always ready to suggest great restaurants and things to do. Looking forward to staying again.

This is a lovely little place in a great location. Great value for what you pay. The hosts are helpful but not intrusive and were very kind to me and my dog. I though this was a great location for somebody visiting. You are minutes away from some of the best hiking and ocean beaches.
