What an absolute pleasure to stay here. It will 100% be at the top of my list the next time I travel to Victoria. In fact, I will plan my travel around the availability of this place. Super clean. Super quiet. Perfectly situated for our day trips around the island. Truly an amazing space. Compact, but so well designed that it feels way more spacious than I imagined it would be. The VRBO is perfectly stocked with everything you need, whether you are there for one night or one month. The bed was very comfortable and, despite my chronic insomnia, enabled me to sleep soundly. The hosts were delightful, and we appreciated all the small touches that helped us feel so welcomed. I'd go so far as to say that this was hands down my best short term rental experience ever! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would.

We cannot put into words how wonderful our stay was in this comfortable suite. Everything was as you would hope it would be - and more. The space is immaculate and well thought out; it felt like home within minutes of arriving. The suite is fantastically arranged and excellently equipped. We wish whoever designed the layout and decorated the suite could visit our home and do the same! The Welcome guide and Host communications were the best we've ever enjoyed. The location is fantastic - a few minutes away from Sidney and a few minutes more away from the Victoria Airport and Sidney Ferries. Easy parking, a private entrance and a comfortable bed... what more could anyone ask for? We made the most of the washer and dryer in the suite and although we didn't make any meals, we could have -- every dish, plate, bowl and accessory we might need are provided along with a spotless stove and counter space work area. The lighting within the suite was also well thought out; being able to make it comfy-cozy with the light from the table lamp - or bright and crisp with the ceiling lights - or soft and calm with the lights over kitchen island - it's a space that any one (or couple) should appreciate. There's no hustle or bustle to worry about; if you need a few days on the Island it's certainly a home-from-home base we'd recommend.

Peter and Julie were great hosts. The suite was very clean and comfortable. It was well stocked with supplies. The location for good for walking to parks and is a 20 minute walk to downtown Sidney or a 5 minute drive. We would stay again and highly recommend it to others!

For our first trip to the Sidney area on Vancouver Island, we found a very quiet rental sanctuary.It included everything and anything that we needed for the month we stayed, and we were very comfortable.We did not have a vehicle and Sidney is a very walkable community. There is a grocery and other shops and restaurants within about five minutes. The town site is about a half an hour walk away. The hosts were easy to contact if necessary, which was seldom, and were very friendly and nice. We would be happy to stay here again.

This was our second stay at this location and it was just as welcoming as it was the first time. The location is wonderfully local and very convenient to walk / bike or drive into town. Peter and Julie are an absolute delight and are very conscious of making sure everything is just perfect; from fresh flowers in the suite to a bottle of wine on arrival. Since we have stayed at this place before, it felt like going “home” this time. If you are looking for a location that is quiet, clean, comfortable, charming, and local to town and seashore then this is the place you need to stay!

We booked thinking it might be a little small for us but it was fine for two people. My wife who is shorter found the counter heights to be a little bit high for her. The microwave on top of the fridge was a no go for her. I was able to use it with no issues. Everything worked great. It was situated within 5 minutes travel to the things we wanted to do. Very easy access to the BC Ferry terminal at Swartz Bay.

We had a very nice stay at this suite. The wine was welcoming and the fireplace cozy. This area has easy access to the highway for further forays and downtown Sidney with wonderful walks to the beach at Robert's Bay and surrounding marinas. Our hosts were very accessible and very friendly. What more could one ask for when traveling.

We had come to Sidney for my high school reunion. Parklands turned 50! The best thing, for me, was the location of this rental. It was in my old neighbourhood (which changed so much!) and made me feel like I was home. This was the nicest, cleanest place we have stayed in years. So homey and wonderful atmosphere. The welcoming bottle of wine was a nice surprise. Pete was available if we needed anything and immediately replaced the microwave when it stopped working. If I could give 10 stars, I would. 110% recommended! Thank you.

This place is beautiful,clean and in nice quiet neighbourhood. The owners are very friendly to the point of having a nice bottle of wine and coffee beans waiting for you. The fireplace in the living room is nice touch. They even have robes for you to wear. The towels are nice and thick and the bathtub is deep if you are inclined to take a bath.The bed and pillows are very comfortable. The room darkening blinds are definite plus. The location is great its only a 5 min. drive to restaurant area and about 10 min. to the airport. If you are walking there is a bus stop just up the street.

Words cannot express how impressed we were with this suite and with Pete and Julie. Right from the beginning when we booked this location Pete was very attentive to our inquires and questions. Pete was so very accommodating, he even picked us up from the airport. Upon arrival at the suite there was a bottle of wine and chocolates waiting to welcome us!!! We didn’t want the extra expense of a car rental, so Pete made sure we had access to bikes and helmets during our stay. The area has lots of trails and bike lanes that makes it super easy to get around. The suite is so very clean and super quiet! Pete checked in on us a couple days into our stay to introduce his lovely wife Julie and they even brought us delicious carrots from their garden. The Thursday night market in Sidney is a must! Our visit was peaceful, pleasant and perfect. We will definitely stay there again the next time we visit the island.

We were in town for 3 weeks to have some work done on our boat at Philbrooks Boatyard. This location was PERFECT since it was easy to walk into downtown Sidney as well as walk to the boatyard each day to do work on the boat. We could walk to the grocery store, takeout pizza and the suite is 2 blocks from the entrance to a paved walking trail that goes into Sidney. The suite is SO clean, stocked with everything you could need from shampoo/conditioner to a very well kitted out kitchen. Each day I made a morning smoothie in a great blender, ground my coffee beans for coffee and we were able to make cookies and other home cooked meals. The bed is heavenly to sleep on, and the Peter and Julie were absolutely the best hosts. They were able to provide us with anything we needed. The yard is immaculate and so lush, lovely to look out onto each morning. We felt a little sad to leave as it had become our home away from home. We'll definitely come back any time we haul out to have boat work done, or really any time coming to Sidney.

This is our 2nd stay at this place. We are so comfortable in the unit - I loved the fact that I can cook and have everything I need, including herbs and spices! We also love being able to walk to the ocean and downtown if we desire. The owners live upstairs so are there if we have any questions, but they are not intrusive. Thanks so much!

This property was extremely clean and furnished with everything you would need for a vacation, including kitchen appliances, washer and dryer, towels, shampoo, soap, hair dryer, and coffee and tea to enjoy. Peter and Julie made us feel so at home. Their kindness was appreciated and their thoughtfulness to meet our needs went above and beyond what we expected. There was a Smart TV with streaming platforms as well as WiFi to use. The welcome binder was very useful to help us navigate our way around Sidney. The neighbourhood felt very safe and it was a 30 minute walk into town. There is a bus stop about two minutes from the house, which was very convenient as we did not have a vehicle. We can't say enough about how friendly Peter and Julie were and how lovely their yards were. My sister and I had an amazing time and would most definitely rent Peter and Julie's place again!

Everything about this quiet property is 5 star. We enjoyed ten days at this location and found we had everything we needed and more. The bed was very comfortable with high quality linens; the kitchen was well equipped, including oils, teas, coffee and everything we needed (including a nice BBQ) to do our own cooking every day; the gas fireplace was great for our cool, rainy stay. Many thanks to Pete and Julie for putting together a high quality, reasonably priced suite for vacationers like us.

Truly a home away from home
Truly a home away from home
I can't say enough good things about this property and its owners, Pete and Julie. Every interaction from the first was filled with kindness.
I'm not sure where to start - from their willingness to purchase hypoallergenic laundry products to their flexibility with my reservation when my father-in-law went on hospice. I truly felt cared for, which has not been my experience with most home sharing experiences.
And that was before I arrived to the unit.
It's beautiful. Modern, well layout out, with thoughtful touches like fresh flowers and welcome gift (which they asked my preference about...so thoughtful!). There's coffee, spices, oil, tea, and everything you need for making meals--even a slow cooker! I didn't spy a food processor or blender which didn't matter to me but flagging it for other intrepid cooks who might want to do a home stay.
The bed was so comfy (omgosh those PILLOWS!). The bathroom was also stocked - you could literally arrive here with just clothes and any medications you need and live well for a week! The bathroom is a little narrow so if you live in a larger body like mine, keep that in mind (though the space around the toilet is ample).
Having lived in NYC for a decade, the overall unit didn't feel small at all to me...and having my own laundry for the first time since I lived at home was GLORIOUS! And, there was more natural light than I would have thought for a basement unit-yes!
Pete and Julie introduced themselves and checked in via text to make sure everything was ok. I knew they were there if I needed them, though their welcome guide was so detailed and easy to skim that I didn't have any Qs.
Oh and I can't finish this review without talking about the fireplace!
Don't worry, you don't need any skill. Its controlled by the thermostat and added such warmth and homeyness, especially on the cold and rainy days.
The absolutely only thing I would improve upon is to add a power strip or similar to the bedroom. I didn't ask for one—it wasn't *that* big of a deal but if I were travelling with my partner, I would have definitely asked for something.
I am already planning my next visit to this gorgeous, homey, and so very stocked unit! I teared up a little leaving because it was such a peaceful space for me to begin my trip. It has set a new bar for home shares and I can't say thank you enough!
