Private large up to 3 bedrooms waterfront suite,pet friendly.

Located in the marina district of a quiet executive neighbourhood, this waterfront 1,600sq ft, 2 bedroom tidal oceanfront fully self contained suite overlooks a very secluded national migratory bird estuary all from your covered deck and is a great base for seeing all of the attractions of the peninsula and Victoria. There is an option for a 3rd king bedroom included with 5th/6th included ($250 per night 4 guests or under) add cleaning $50 tax.

As you enter through your private entrance, there is a spacious living area with 42” cable and wifi TV. The garden queen bedroom is on the left. From there you pass the ocean view queen bedroom onto the open design kitchen, dining area, bathroom and second TV area that overlooks a private 600’ covered patio with views into the 1/2 acre woodlands and onto views of the ocean waterfront. We provide linens, towels, soaps, shampoos and some teas and coffee.

Shops and restaurants in Sidney is less than a 5 minute car ride or walk thru the National Park, nature parks and flat trails to town. Major attractions are close including Butchard Gardens. Sidney is known for great events and shows including Thursday night street summer markets, Weekend concerts on the beach, glass beach and the many independent shops. Minutes from the BC ferry, USA ferry and Victoria airport.

Our host, Scott, was always quick to respond to all questions or requests from our first communication. The house worked great for our grown family of five, son-in-law and new grandson. We had all four rooms with very comfortable beds. The queen room in main area has a beautiful water view and the two King suites were perfect for providing privacy, including their own bathrooms. The covered deck overlooking the water was cozy with comfortable chairs. Great for morning coffee and birdwatching. Location was also a plus as near the airport and easy to go on day trips. Loved our stay.

Limited utensils, bowl , cups No cabinet or drawers to put our things in the second bedroom. If you are staying in the place for one week or more there should be some place to put our clothes instead of just in the suitcase. I think my expectations was way high Since I have stayed with the same rating with other ArbNB. I wouldn’t describe the place as family friendly. It’s an ok place . Read the
