About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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.

Please talk to us about bringing your pet as we welcome the whole gang!

Scott and the boys welcome you to come and relax and enjoy the island from the Tsehum harbour.

A beautiful spot for our vacation. It was quiet, and suitable for our plans. It was nice to be close to the airport and the ferry terminal and to the things we wanted to see on that side of the island. The hosts were responsive when needed.

I was meeting with my sister for a family visit. The space was totally perfect; we have two very young children and the place was ideal for letting them crawl around and interact with their aunt for the first time. Very clean, plenty of space and relaxing to be there. The host was also very easy to communicate with.
