The suite was very clean, check in was a breeze, bed was comfortable, and had pretty well every amenity one may need. Very nice natural light and we were greeted with some yummy treats. There was a little noise one morning above us and the 10:00 checkout felt a smidge early, but overall it was a lovely place to stay in a nice, quiet part of the city.

Thank you so much for your kind review—I’m really glad you enjoyed the suite, the natural light, and the little welcome treats! I appreciate the note about the noise and checkout time as well. We do our best to keep things as quiet as possible and to balance a smooth turnover for incoming guests, but feedback like this is always helpful. It was a pleasure hosting you, and you’re welcome back anytime!

Linda has thought of everything to make the transition into Rosie’s Retreat seamless. Be sure to check out the kitchen before shopping as a lot of staples are already there. It was very easy to prepare our own meals with full sized appliances and kitchen equipment. The bed was very comfortable! The apartment was like new, well appointed and just like the photos. There was very good light, both with electric fixtures and natural lighting.

My sister an i take an annual trip somewhere each year. Started staying in Vrbo several years ago. This was by far our most pleasant experience. The owner had such personal touches, from fresh eggs for ourfirst breakfast to a gift from the area and delicious treats awaiting us. Super place to stay.

This was possibly the best vacation home rental my partner and I have stayed at ever. Linda provided great communication before, during, and after the stay. The unit was immaculate, and a lot of care/attention to detail was made in making guests comfortable. Linda really went above and beyond what we expected at typical stays.If we were to visit Victoria again, we would definitely try to stay here again as our homebase.

Rosie's Retreat is delightful

Linda was great to communicate with in advance and during our stay. The apartment is cosy, very thoughtfully appointed, and comfortable for two. We stayed a week while relocating to Victoria, and this was an ideal base, especially as we could get around by car (though there is a bus stop nearby). We also appreciated the warm welcome that Linda gave to our cat.
