You can see the lagoon and ocean right from the kitchen. You can walk 1 minute to get to the water. There’s a nearby beach and castle which are good attractions as well.

My family had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property on the Esquimalt Bay. My 15 year old daughter loved the back room, and we had a curtain between our beds, nice. My sister loved the middle room. My parents (80s) loved the main bedroom and separate en suite bathroom. My dad, who has stair challenges, was able to go up and down the stairs once a day by taking his time and using the steady rail. The house is SO clean, and we had all of the kitchen items we needed. Liza and Alex were so friendly and helpful and responsive. Thank you for the wonderful family week, 15-82 years old! Delightful, fresh air, easy walk to the bay and a view from the bay of Hatley Castle. We enjoyed having a quiet place to stay about 30 minutes from Victoria. Just watch out for afternoon traffic returning from Victoria to Colwood. The Royal Bay Bakery up the road from the house is fabulous!! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### HYUNJUNG 28 Aug 2023 Liked: Communication ##### HYUNJUNG Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shirley R. 5 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great home away from home Checkin and stay was easy and comfortable.

There was more than enough room for my 3 children and elderly parents, and in addition to each having their own bedroom space, there is a lovely and very well-stocked kitchen. It is very clean, and the check in / check out process was smooth. I requested an early check-in and the hosts were able to make this happen, and in addition to ensuring all our needs were met they provided us with suggestions for high quality local restaurants. A perfect home away from home! A warm thank you to the hosts for. providing this lovely vacation spot. ##### Dayna L.

Close to local attractions and amazing northwest island nature. The property is clean and was big enough to accommodate 3 families (5 adults, 3 kids and a baby). The kitchen is fully equipped and specious with open concept, with beautiful second floor deck amazing for morning coffee and dinners. The property owners are really hospitable, and communicating without delay to answer all the questions. We had great time staying there. Thank you Liza and Alex. ##### Irina M.

Liza and Alex met us in person to show us around the home and ask if we needed anything. They were very friendly, so the communication process went well. When we arrived, the weather had changed, so Liza offered us extra blankets and paid attention to the heating system. She also gave us some helpful tips on what to visit and how to get to all of these sights. We rented the second floor, which definitely had enough space for four adults and two teenagers. The bedrooms were far apart and the house had two full bathrooms, living room and kitchen. Everything was clean and tidy as on the pictures. The living room was large and convenient for our big company. Our teenage boys were happy to discover Netflix TV and good Wi-Fi there! We found all the necessary equipment and even more in the kitchen. For example, we did not expect free coffee, tea, olive oil, etc. In addition, we had access to a wide balcony with comfortable seating and a table. We liked the location of the house because of the quiet neighborhood and the beautiful view of the lagoon. It was also quite close to Hatley Castle and Fort Rodd Hill that we wanted to visit. Thank you, Liza and Alex! ##### Valeriia R.

Check in process was done in person. Lots of walk to and drive to attractions. Check out was easy, but access to a garbage bin was not available. Also the washer and dryer should be made available with out fee. ##### Robert B.
