About this apartment rental
Property Overview
Experience the absolute pinnacle of Victoria’s waterfront lifestyle from a truly one-of-a-kind residence. Situated at 456 Pandora Avenue (Business Registration Number: BCREG00036407) within the iconic Janion building, Lookout Point tells a captivating story of two eras: part of the structure is a stunning heritage landmark from 1891, while the front half features a sleek, modern expansion completed in 2016. With its signature curved architecture and spectacular, unobstructed views of the active waterway and the iconic Johnson Street Bridge from every single window, this executive property provides an immersive, high-end home base for seamless 90+ day extended stays.
The defining feature of Lookout Point is its incredible proximity to the water—you simply cannot get any closer. Positioned right next to the bridge walkway, the unit’s curved floor plan floods the interior with natural light and treats you to a front-row seat of harbor life, from passing kayakers to boats navigating the waterway. Step out onto your private sun-drenched balcony to take in the fresh ocean air, or relax in the open living room styled with a contemporary dark grey sofa, armchairs, a Smart TV, and a La-Z-Boy sofa sleeper with a memory foam mattress to comfortably accommodate extra guests.
The home offers two dual primary suites, each appointed with a Queen-size bed, luxury linens, and its own unique, panoramic view of the bridge and water. One bedroom includes a dedicated WFH desk positioned right at the window for an inspiring work setup. Preparing meals is a pleasure in the modern chef’s kitchen, complete with warm wood lower cabinets, glossy white upper cabinetry, sleek quartz countertops, integrated appliances (including a dishwasher, oven, cooktop, and microwave), and a dining table set right against the curved glass. The spa-like bathroom features crisp white subway tiling and a glass-enclosed walk-in shower. For total executive ease, the suite includes high-speed Wi-Fi, central heating, a stacked in-suite washer and dryer, and a travel crib for families traveling with little ones.
Beyond the walls of your private sanctuary, you will enjoy premier access to upscale building perks. Unwind on the expansive, shared rooftop BBQ patio featuring outdoor dining tables and sweeping panoramic views stretching from the Parliament buildings to the open ocean. Long-term residents also enjoy access to an indoor meeting/social room with a common kitchen, a fully equipped resident fitness center, secure elevator entry, and direct access to harbor paths right outside the gate. Situated at the intersection of historic Chinatown and Old Town, you are steps away from Victoria's best waterfront dining, specialty markets, and cultural attractions.

The space is beautiful! For those that need all three beds, be aware that there are privacy blinds in both of the bedrooms, but not in the living room. So the third bed is very visible, and there are bright lights from the bridge shining in all night long.
The biggest challenge (for us) was the property manager.
- Be prepared for a massive amount of material to review, incl a 22-page prop details doc
- Hidden in the docs is a clause that was not in the VRBO details: "No bicycles are allowed inside the unit at anytime." This was a huge deal for us, as we were on a bike tour, and needed somewhere safe to store our bikes at night (since Victoria is notorious for bike theft).
- I brought up our predicament with the PM, and not only did they not assume any responsibility for the missing info, but their response was unprofessional and defensive, "...it’s standard practice in Victoria that bikes are not allowed in any unit. Not just ours. If you have done this before it’s likely it just didn’t get noticed." The implication is that they are not responsible for posting this since it's "standard practice" for the area, but how would a tourist know this? But also, this is simply not true. We stayed in 2 other places in Victoria in the last 6 months and they not only did they know about our bikes, but helped accommodate them.
- PM referred us to a third party bike storage, which was great, but left us down an additional $180 and we didn't have access to our bikes from 7pm-9am.

We were excited to visit Victoria. The location of the apartment was convenient. Finding a spot to get our luggage into the facility was difficult when we arrived. You cannot park outside to unload; you have to park at a lot across the street and carry your luggage to the building. Once inside there had been a flood and there were dryers all over the hallway. This was disappointing as it would have been nice if the host had let us know. The apartment was fine, a bit small but overall good. The beds were just ok, not that comfortable. Lots of windows to look at the harbour however, when the blinds were up, people walking by can see you very clearly.

The perfection location to explore, bike and paddle around Victoria. This European style condo is very comfortable and efficient, but is a little noisy given the proximity to the new bridge. The nearby restaurant scene is amazing. We will be back again soon and definitely stay here if it is available.
6 / 10Average·Jul 2021
The location was fabulous and the unit was great. Very clean and well organized. It was glorious to sip coffee in the morning and watch the water. We even got to see the drawbridge go up! The fact that the keys are located blocks away is very inconvenient. The biggest drawback is the parking. It is way too far away from the unit. Getting the luggage to and from the unit was an onerous process. This is NOT explained in the listing. The distant parking and even more distant key lockbox made the checkout process a nightmare. Fortunately, the location was so great we didn’t need to access our vehicle during our stay and could walk everywhere.
