Loved the idea of sleeping on the water. Property was relatively quiet considering the owner lives above and a second unit right next door. Shared air blower/kettle not ideal as wasn't available when needed. There was no tv (which is good and bad) but be aware. Loved our included breakfast at Imagine Cafe. Room was smaller but very clean and sufficient.

Weather conditions prevented us from traveling to Victoria earlier today. We phoned the property and asked for a refund or a credit. They refused.

Reviews are meant for after your stay. You did not stay. You simply wanted to complain. You cancelled a few hours before your check in time. My cancellation policy clearly states that you will receive a refund if you cancel 7 days before your stay. No B and B and most hotels wont refund you. This is the real world.

This property and the area are so unique and it was a lovely experience to sleep in a home on the water! Carene was lovely and so helpful. We also loved the breakfast and the staff at Imagine Cafe! I feel like this is a “must experience” at least once in your life kinda thing!

Fun experience- check in was easy and everything was nicely explained during our walk through. Directions and info on parking was most appreciated. Lovely place! The only issue was trying to reply to the host via Expedia on our arrival time, and the host never received it. Being out of the country made it too difficult to call.

Property was as advertised. Fisherman’s Wharf was extremely busy and noisy when we arrived about 5.30pm, but it gets much better and quieter after 9.00pm when the businesses close and the crowds leave.

Highly recommend this Float Home in Fisherman's Wharf. It's super convenient to enjoy this end of Victoria, snack foods on the Wharf or take a water taxi at your doorstep to other sites. It's a bit small, but it is a houseboat (with one other tenant and the owner living upstairs). The convenience and unique/cuteness factor are definitely worth staying here.

This was a wonderful find! It was perfect for us and we were able to access almost everything by walking. It was very quiet in the evenings as the shops close and the gate gets locked. Sat our on our little deck and enjoyed the view. Carene was an amazing host and was very helpful and attentive to any questions. Very clean and well maintained B&B. The breakfast was a short walk across the green and it was fantastic as well. PERFECT PLACE!!

Awesome floating home B and B.
The location was awesome being at Fisherman's Wharf. Carene (host) was very friendly and professional. Although it wasn't particularly spacious, it was very cozy, and the lack of space was hardly noticed. The little deck was great for enjoying a "sit down" with a beverage.

Unique Victoria stay
Location, location! If you love to walk along the water trails, this place is awesome. Water taxi at your doorstep as well. Free parking an added bonus. Caution— don’t over indulge if you’ve a weak stomach. N Walls are thin, room is spacious with individual heater. 2 seater deck for use and on sunnier, drier days it would be a lovely escape. Cannot comment about the breakfast, our host forgot about us 1 day (life happens) and the other day we didn’t use the coupon for a nearby cafe. Overall, it was a most pleasant and unique experience

Generally a unique and different experience. A floating house on the water in a wharf with many restaurants and colorful scenery was appealing. A little inconvenient to unload luggage in the twenty minute unloading zone.

Hi there. YOu said: Our stay at Fisherman’s Wharf Bed and Breakfast was exactly what we needed. We couldn’t have asked for more! Carene was an amazing host! The communication was fabulous. Her recommendations were “on point”! The bright and cheery room was very comfortable and relaxing. Having the water taxi right outside our home made it fun and exciting to enjoy the attractions of the city. I will definitely be returning and telling my friends and family about this enjoyable experience. (In fact told a few visitors that I met on my many outings) This was my PERFECT getaway. Thank you Carene! Kelly and Sean ------------ Thanks for your glowing recommendation. Hope you come again! Carene
