REVIEWS Your Beautiful Home Overall, we have had a magical stay at your place. It was so nice to be able share Cordova Bay and all our memories with my children. Now they have their own memories of this special place. We just loved everything about this house and hope to make this visit a tradition. I can't express to you enough what a wonderful time the family had staying at your beautiful home. My daughter had a school assignment to draw a picture of her current dream. I am attaching a picture of it for you to see. Thank you for checking in. I really hope that we can arrange another visit to Cordova Bay in the near future." (S.N. ) "I can't tell you how much each and everyone of us loved our time at your home in Cordova Bay. We had so many special adventures, wonderful family evenings in the living room, great fun creating delicious family meals in your huge kitchen, and so much more. We are already talking of a return visit. " Kathy T. (S.N's Mom) Hawaii and Portland, What an Amazing Property Our family traveled to Vancouver Island from 6/17-6/20/15\. From the first contact I made with Donna about renting this beautiful home she was very prompt in replying and it remained that way whenever I had a question, very quick to reply! We LOVED this house. It was beautifully located, access to the beach below was easy and the views were stunning. Donna emailed during the week as well to make sure things were good. We would highly recommend renting this house for every reason. Thanks Donna. We would definitely rent this home again if we make it back to Vancouver Is. Drew McLaren Perfect Place for a Family or Couple Our family stays in Victoria for about 3 weeks each summer. This is our 3rd rental house and our favorite by far! The pictures are accurate, but my favorite view is the ocean from the master bedroom. Our favourite room is the sun room where we found ourselves almost every night. The house is in a very quiet location so, while you are close to everything (shopping, groceries, a couple nice restaurants....) you feel so peaceful and 'away from it all'. Morning walks on the beach are wonderful Bring your water shoes! There are walking/biking trails close too. We found the owner to be very nice and responsive -- not intrusive at all. We are renting the house again for summer 2014 -- I am really looking forward to my early morning coffee while sitting outside and watching the ocean. One day I hope to visit in the Fall just to enjoy the scenery and relax. Perfect! Lisa K. We had an absolutely wonderful time. The place was spotlessly clean, and the pictures just don't do it justice. We spent so much time just sitting in the living room enjoying the view, and cooking in the expansive kitchen. The sunroom is also a gem. The access to the beach is fantastic, and going out at low tide is great. On one of the quietest little streets I could imagine, almost really a country road just off the main road. Fantastic!

Also one bathroom for four adults is not enough. I understand another washroom was under repair, but had I known beforehand I would have made alternative accommodation. Absolutely beautiful setting and comfortable. ##### Shelagh S. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Debbie A. 26 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Relaxing Get-Away Our family (me, my husband, my 19-yo son and his girlfriend, and our 21-yo daughter) traveled for the first time to Vancouver Island from California; and we all had a wonderfully relaxing stay at Donna’s home. The house was clean and accessible, the kitchen is large and well-stocked (kettle, pans, dishes, etc), the spa was a fun activity…. But the seaside view really trumps all!!! The beach access was easy once the tidal times were reviewed - very shallow bay with disappearing beaches during high tide, but there’s an easy seaside walk to the public beach during low tide. Tons of birds and wildlife (we saw bald eagles, herons, deer, raccoons, seals, etc). And the location is convenient - we had a running joke that the house was 20 minutes from everywhere! Every excursion from the house was an easy 18-22 min. commute: Botchart Gardens 21 mins, airport 22 mins, Victoria 18 mins, etc. But there’s a shopping center/grocery store 2 mins away! And Cordova Bay has a wonderful seaside restaurant, The Beach House. Also, Donna’s communication is amazing! We would all recommend this house - a unique opportunity with many perks! ##### Debbie A.

There is a rocky area just off the beach that grows and shrinks with the tide. We watched seals, otters, and an eagle use it as a resting spot. Bring your binoculars! It's on a quiet, dead-end street, so we all slept well.The house was about 20 minutes away from all the places we wanted to visit during our 5-day stay: airport, Butchart Gardens, and downtown Victoria. It easily accommodated our party of 5 adults, including my 93-year old mother, who uses a walker. The downstairs shower is big enough for a shower chair. (We ordered it from Amazon to be delivered there, and the owner was nice enough to accept delivery the day before our arrival). It has a well-equipped kitchen, although we only cooked breakfast. For regular VRBO renters, just be aware the house doesn't have the collection of leftover pantry items from previous guests, so you'll need to hit the store if you want cooking oil, sugar, etc. It does have a set of spices if you plan to do more cooking than we did.The owner lives adjacent to the rental, and there are some shared walls. She was very nice to deal with, and we only ran into her once, in the parking area. It didn't bother us at all. But if you plan to break the rules and have a huge party, look elsewhere. ##### Gail K.

Very close to location of Ironman 70.3 Victoria, so quite convenient for our purposes. ##### Sinda M.

Views of Cardova Bay were wonderful. This spacious house is cozy with many lovely vintage pieces. Although we took a break from cooking, the kitchen was well outfitted and was stocked with spices, cooking oil etc. There were many rooms including a sun room to sit as a group or individually. Linens and towels were plentiful and the beds were good. Thank you Donna for sharing this lovely home. ##### Megan M.

The sea, ever-changing and always enchanting, was our constant companion—morning, noon, and starlit night.The house itself is a model of tasteful simplicity, with every convenience thoughtfully provided—as though our hosts possessed a most admirable talent for hospitality without intrusion.We strolled, we sipped, we stared dreamily at the waves. In short, we were restored.To leave was a sorrow. To return? A hope most ardent. ![View from the main window ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/07fc10bc-9692-4304-a9aa-0b13ff1b9499-1759405848351.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kew W.

The birdsong, ambiance and unobstructed ocean view from every room created a relaxing and magical experience. We saw eagles, otters, and all kinds of birds from the expansive terrace overlooking the ocean where we watched stunning sun rises, relaxed in the early mornings over breakfast and in the evenings over drinks. The property is an easy drive to Butchart Gardens and all there is to see in Victoria. After a day touring the city, it was so peaceful to return to the oceanview home. Donna is a wonderful non-intrusive host whose pride of ownership has made her property so welcoming and special. ##### Pamela K.
