A good place to stay outside the centre of Victoria. Very quick and clear communication from the owner.

Great location to many attractions in the area ! The house was neat and tidy and served our needs well . We would love to stay here again soon . Thanks so much!

Very easy to find. Pleasant accommodation in a very peaceful setting.

8.0 / 10.0

Our stay here was good, the house is very spacious and was a great area and a great space for our family of 6 to spend time together. It was very easy to navigate to and from Victoria and attractions. Communication with the host was easy and timely. Based on the online description it says 4 bedrooms, however the fourth bedroom is actually the living area with a sofa bed.

Beautiful area and home. Loved our short stay. Thanks again!

It was so lovely. Charming house and best is the location close to everything.

8.0 / 10.0

Lovely home in a nice quiet area. Would not recommend for families with small children due to the drop off in the small back yard. Very convenient to Butchart Gardens.

10.0 / 10.0

Spacious home in quiet neighborhood, with both a front and back porch. Very relaxing-and a pool table for extra fun.

6.0 / 10.0

The house is nice and fairly comfortable. There are a few too many instructions posted everywhere, but I understand wanting to help guests and protect property. Unfortunately, I don’t think he gave me the same protection and respect when we had a problem in the house. I’m also not sure why he can’t get sheets to fit the master bedroom. Apparently both issues were not new to the owner. Others complained before about the sheets, He switched ours out when i mentioned it when I wrote him about the flooding, but the new pair were only a little better, also coming off the mattress corners. The bigger issue was the flood of water from the shower pouring through the smoke alarm to the main floor. I slipped on the water, but fortunately did not fall. We wiped up the floor collected a gallon or two of water and put out a collection pot. I requested that the owner come and fix the problem when we’re leaving the house shortly. Instead, he came right over (guess he lives on the property), didn’t ask for me, and told my son and dtr in law “to monitor the problem.” Hearing this, I told him I thought it should be fixed, not monitored. He said that there was nothing he could do, but if it got “really bad, he could do something.” He said there were only a few drops in the pot, true, but I’d already emptied a large glass bowl and mopped up a gallon or more of water. After he left my dtr said he told her it’d happened before, but not for a while. I was not happy w this. IMHO it was really bad

Worked out great

It was a great location for us and had everything we needed.

8.0 / 10.0

The property was as pictured, and in such a good location. The holdbacks on some areas of our experiece was that the bed in the middle bedroom was terribly uncomfortable, the towels were clean-the-car quality, and there were NO signs of life in the kitchen such as condiment packets or a kind note. We often stay in vacation rental homes, and these touches are inexpensive and matter. That said, we will certainly stay here again on future trips to the Island.

Lovely home with excellent amenities.

8.0 / 10.0

Overall, the house was fine. But here are a few suggestions: put hand towel holders in the bathrooms and provide more than 1 hand towel per bathroom; provide a box or two of kleenex; area rugs by the beds would be nice as the wood floors can be slippery; end tables by the sofa for putting coffee cups on would be nice; coasters for drinks. We enjoyed visiting Victoria and the surrounding area. We ventured out to many sites and had a great time.

10.0 / 10.0

10.0 / 10.0

Well maintained house providing good accommodations for a family. Location is great for exploring the island but secluded as well.

8.0 / 10.0

We would stay here again, great house, lots of room. Beds really comfortable. Some oddities; sheets in master bedroom not the right size so they kept slipping off. Towels not out so had to hunt them down, including towels/wash cloth for kitchen.

10.0 / 10.0

This was a three-generation road trip with ultimate destination being a visit to Butchart Gardens. We were able to leave our car at this very comfortable home and walk there, which was a huge plus. The location is excellent, and the neighborhood was very quiet. We spent two nights there, and beds were comfortable for all of us. Note that all three bedrooms are on the second floor, if that is an issue. There is a half bath on the first floor, which was convenient. I do think the master shower would benefit from a good scrubbing of the stone, and kitchen appliances need some maintenance, but that was disclosed in the listing, and did not interfere with our ability to fix our meals. We did not use TV’s or radio or fireplaces, so cannot comment on those. We did avail ourselves to the pool table. Overall we had a very enjoyable stay and would not hesitate to stay there again.

10.0 / 10.0

It was a great house and location to Butchart Gardens. There were a lot of instructions around the house, but as someone with a more complex house, i can see that the host tries to anticipate most problems that might arise.

10.0 / 10.0

It was a great place to host a family weekend. Kitchen is exceptionally well provisioned. Seymour was very quick to respond to inquiries and a great host.

10.0 / 10.0

The place was great! My husband and I stayed here for four nights celebrating our honeymoon. It was the perfect location to see a lot. There’s a lot to do and see in Brentwood Bay if you’re the outdoorsy type, Sidney isn’t too far for additional great restaurants, easy day trip to Salt Spring Island and easy access to downtown Victoria. Would definitely recommend this central location if you plan to bop around to different parts of the island.

10.0 / 10.0

The location was perfect for us since we arrived by ferry from Vancouver. The beds were super comfortable (a must for me) and had we used the kitchen it had everything we could possibly have needed.

10.0 / 10.0

The house is nested in a quiet neighborhood, perfect for a retreat to the nature with family. It’s spacious for 5 people to stay, clean, simple, and nicely decorated, not tacky at all. The owner responded to our questions promptly. We enjoyed our stay at this house for 4 nights.

6.0 / 10.0

We stayed for a month and intentionally booked a single family home for the space and expected privacy that comes along with a detatched 3 bedroom bouse. The house is lovely, beds comfortable and kitchen well equipped. It is perfectly located for touring Victoria and surrounding area. If you book this house, be aware the owner spends many nights sleeping in the detatched garage 10 feet from the front door with no notice or communication.

8.0 / 10.0

The house itself is very nice and has all the basic necessities included. However, it was quite obvious that the owner is handling the cleanings between stays himself — crumbs and general small floor debris; could use a good sweep and mop. The coffee maker was a disaster when we arrived — my father in law took it upon himself to deep clean before using. Again, the house itself is fantastic! The mattresses are all very very cozy, water pressure is great too! HOWEVER, discovering a stranger seemingly casing our vehicles in the driveway midway through our stay was quite alarming - especially when it turned out to be the owner Seymour who had apparently been sleeping in the tiny garage outside the front entrance of the house the whole time… Too creepy, never staying here again.

10.0 / 10.0

We had the best start to our time in Canada at this property, it is so convenient for everything on the peninsula, very homely and has everything you would need! The host Seymour is very accommodating and helpful It’s a fabulous house

10.0 / 10.0

Spent 3 nights here- easily accommodated the 7 of us. Had breakfast in the house each day, didn’t need to search for anything we needed- all readily available. Short ride into Victoria. We had a great time & slept well on the comfy beds.

10.0 / 10.0

Clean, Quiet and close to everything. We enjoy visiting Brentwood Bay. Close to family, restaurants and attractions.

10.0 / 10.0

Seymour’s house is a comfortable and relaxing stay which is a 15 minute walk to Butchart Gardens (find the shortcut through the woods on Google Maps!) and a short 25 minute drive to Victoria Harbor. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking our own dinners, the beds are comfortable and the back deck is wonderful for morning coffee or evening dinners, and for watching deer and other critters in the back yard. It’s an efficient base for exploring Vancouver Island, as we made drives to Port Renfrew, Sooke, Ladysmith and Duncan. Make sure you try Blue’s Bayou just a short walk down to Brentwood Bay. Grocery and specialty meat (Carnivores) and Seafood market next door to it is just a couple of KM away. We highly recommend Seymour’s property!
