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.

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.

Everything was set up very well. Fresh pastries on table when we arrived to a clean well designed suite.The kitchen was well supplied and was laid out nicely.A pet bed and dog supplies were in place for our dog and we found it easy to walk the dog with a number of nice quiet dog walk routes from the doorstep. Our host was very responsive and helped make our stay even better.I will be recommending this location to our friends.

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.

Fabulous apartment

Rosie's retreat is a great place to stay in Victoria. Located in a quiet neighborhood just 20 minutes drive to downtown Victoria. Linda is a great host. She left us a few "extras" which we really appreciated. She was also quick to respond to us and checked in to see if we needed anything. Highly recommend!!!

Even from before our stay I could already tell Linda was a super host. She had timely responses, good information on things to see and do and you could just feel the care she has for you and her home. First steps into her home, was a clean breath of fresh air. We were greeted with some treats and a warm welcome message. Loved the heated bathroom floor and comfy bed. It has everything you need to enjoy your stay. It’s in a quiet neighborhood and only 15 min from the downtown area. I highly recommend this place for your next getaway. Thank you Linda!

I would highly recommend staying at this particular unit. The hostess, Linda was invisible and yet any question we had we would send an email and receive an instant answer.The unit itself is brand new and beautiful. Everything you need is supplied in the kitchen. The living room is very comfortable with the dining area. The bed was majestic. Super comfortable mattress and pillows.We have been vacationing as husband and wife for over 50 years and this is definitely the best stay we’ve ever had.If you are vacationing anywhere in the Victoria or lower island area, you should consider staying at this location. Easily accessible to all kinds of stores and restaurants.

Wow!! We would like to put LUXURY in the description of this 1 bedroom suite/apartment style place that was perfect for the two of us during our 1 week stay. We were greeted with a nice welcome note from our Host Linda that included a sweet treat to eat which was very kind of her. We were impressed with the high-end appliances, very comfy bed, and great shower, and everything was so shiny & clean we were scared to touch anything lol. Linda went above & beyond with her Kitchen, bathroom & bedroom supplies that if there was anything you forgot or needed it was there. The location was perfect for us, close to our Son, major highways and amenities. Any questions we had she was very prompt in answering. All in all, we throughly enjoyed our stay, and will definitely be staying here again at our next visit to Victoria.
