About this property
Waterfront Stay with Balcony and BBQ
This is one of a kind in Victoria, part of the 1998 development building on the waterfront in Old Town Victoria. The building was built in 2000 and has steel and concrete construction. Fully renovated in February 2021, Marvelous Mermaid has everything you need to cook up a gourmet meal, whip up a cocktail, or just escape and unwind. This unit has a lovely curved shape to it with views of the waterway and the bridge out of every window. You will be kept busy people-watching and checking out the boats sailing by. There is a king bed in the room and also a lovely memory foam Lazy Boy sofa sleeper in the living room for the extra guests. The common area included with this unit is the rooftop deck with an outside BBQ patio area with views from the Parliament buildings to the open ocean. It is the perfect place for relaxing, indulging, and taking in those beautiful seaside harbour views. This is such a great complex, and we have multiple units here, which is great for large groups or extra-large families needing multiple units.
