About this property
Waterfront Stay with Balcony and BBQ
Position yourself directly on the pulse of Victoria's historic working harbor. You simply cannot get closer to the water than Marvelous Mermaid. Nestled inside a highly desirable steel-and-concrete waterfront building completed in 2000, this one-of-a-kind residence was fully renovated in February 2021. Boasting a striking, architecturally curved floor plan that frames panoramic views of the water and the bustling bridge walkway from every single window, this home is the ultimate front-row seat to the best of West Coast maritime life.
The Experience
Marvelous Mermaid is expertly curated to be a luxurious escape where you can effortlessly unwind, mix up your favorite cocktails, or cook up a gourmet meal. The unique curved architecture captures premium natural light and keeps you endlessly entertained with premium views of passing yachts, kayakers, and vibrant harbor life. For the ultimate outdoor experience, head up to the spectacular shared rooftop deck and patio area to grill on the BBQ while soaking in views stretching from the iconic BC Parliament Buildings all the way out to the open ocean.
The Highlights
‣ Unbeatable Front-Row Waterfront: Architecturally unique curved layout with sweeping water, boat, and bridge views from every window. ‣ Premium Primary Suite: Sleep in absolute luxury with a grand King-sized bed. ‣ Deluxe Guest Accommodations: Features a high-end La-Z-Boy memory foam sofa sleeper in the living room for extra guests. ‣ Gourmet Kitchen: Fully renovated and completely equipped with premium appliances and pristine tools for the home chef. ‣ Spectacular Rooftop Deck: Access to a shared rooftop patio complete with an outdoor BBQ area and breathtaking views of the Parliament buildings and the open ocean.
The Location and Lifestyle
Perfectly positioned directly on the historic downtown waterfront at 409 Swift Street, Victoria, BC:
‣ The Heart of Old Town: Steps away from world-class dining, independent coffee shops, eclectic local boutiques, and cultural attractions. ‣ Active Maritime Living: Step right onto the waterfront walkway to watch the active harbor or easily launch your own daily urban adventures. ‣ Perfect for Large Groups: CheckedIn proudly manages multiple premium units within this exact waterfront complex, offering a seamless setup for corporate groups or extended families wishing to stay close together.
