About this property

1 Bdrm Oceanfront B&B w ocean views and easy ocean access. Great for couple.

Wake up to ocean views from every room in this spacious and serene B&B in coveted Deep Cove. Start the day off with an ocean dip, or for a slower start, enjoy a cup of your favourite beverage from the comfort of the outdoor patio overlooking the ocean.

This is a beautiful open concept lower level one bedroom, one bathroom B&B. The bathroom has a stand up shower, toilet and sink and is located next to the bedroom.
The bedroom has top quality organic cotton percale sheets and pillows. The outdoor patio also has a dining table and comfortable seating with a view of the water.

Its is a perfect retreat for a couple who wish to take some time to relax and be by the ocean. There is a TV with Google chromecast and an HDMI cable available so you can stream from your own devices.

We live on the upper floor, so noise transfer is inevitable. However, we do try to keep noise to a minimum.

We have a large friendly dog that will want to say hello. If you are not into dogs, please let us know and we will endeavour to keep them out of your way.

We are conveniently located 10 minutes from the airport, 10 minutes from the ferries and 10 minutes to the Town of Sidney which has great restaurants and shops.

A great stay in Deep Cove

We had a wonderful time in this excellent location. The view of the cove and the local boats is very relaxing, and the suite is extremely well done and appointed.As dog people we especially enjoyed the occasional visit from Ryder. The main purpose of our visit was to visit Butchart Gardens, and it's quite easy to get there from this rental.

Wonderful

The unit is just as shown on line. It is very well equipped if you want to cook your own meals. You can’t beat the view from the unit out over Deep Cove. It was about a Ten minute drive into Sidney which was great to explore with lots of restaurants and shops. We would stay here again if we are back in the area.

Kim’s space is marvelous and if the opportunity presents itself, should be booked without question!My partner and I were looking forward to some R&R after an educator conference in Oregon and we were lucky to stumble onto a slice of heaven in Deep Cove. The space itself is well-appointed with modern updated finishes and a layout that was spacious, luxurious, and comfortable but the view of the cove is absolutely unparalleled. Whether waking in the morning and opening the window shades, cozying up on the couch, or kicking back on the Adirondack chairs outside, the proximity to the waterfront was truly a treat to enjoy, especially at sunset, We sat outdoors as the well after dusk as the stars appeared contemplating what we could do to move (from Maui) to Deep Cove. Ending the evening and beginning the day with this million dollar view was beyond comparison and I have already recommended a trip to Vancouver Island to Deep Cove and Sydney to friends who have plans to travel to Victoria with the hopes that Kim’s space is available so they too can enjoy the bliss we experienced.Mahalo Kim!

Beautiful view

The view of the cove is even better than the pictures. What surprised us the most was just how well equipped the kitchen was. It was well beyond what we expected since we did not see detailed pictures of it from the VRBO website. Everything was very, very clean. You do hear loudly foot steps above you and they start very early in the morning, but we had similar experiences many other times at even brand new condos and hotels. Our five night stay was very good.

Peaceful waterfront apartment

The accomodation and setting was as advertised, with a nice view of the bay, very pleasant hosts and a very friendly Burnese Mountain Dog. We stayed for 6 nights while we visited friends and hiked, so we were not at the apartment other than in the morning and evening. There was some noise from the the hosts living area above during waking hours (mainly the dog moving around on hardwood floors), which I believe others may have mentioned, but it was quiet when we went to bed and in any case were not noises that annoyed us.

So Very Enjoyable

The overall condition, cleanliness, layout, view and responsiveness of the owners could not have been better. Convenient kitchen, ample bathroom, comfortable sitting area and a view unsurpassed. The view from the sitting area inside and out was superb. And not to forget the amazing view from the bedroom as well. Everything worked! We spent two weeks in serene, ocean front accommodation. Thanks !

Perfect for 2

The suite was perfect, well appointed with a very comfortable bed and lovely view from the massive windows! You definitely hear the sounds from upstairs, especially the dog’s feet (he is beautiful and friendly!) There isn’t “beach access” from the unit, but you can get down to the water level. We enjoyed our stay!

a very lovely property. The view to the ocean from the backyard is calm and tranquil. A vehicle rental is a must to get around and see things. the hosts were great, and we were not too far from all kinds of attractions, dining and shopping. Highly recommend a trip to Salt Spring Island. The ferry at Swartz Bay is 10 min away and the trip only 30 minutes to one of the Gulf islands gems.

Short stay

The suite was very nicely setup with new amenties. Everything you need in the kitchen to cook meals. Nice linens in the bathroom and bedroom. Bed and pillows comfy. Super friendly dog on the property. Our only suggestion to the hosts would be more sound proofing between the upstairs and downstairs floor. The view was amazing! We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this place.
