Upscale Character Home with Luxurious Amenities

The best of Victoria's character home charm and modern west coast living style by Swan Lake. This Lower Legal Separate Strata Titled home is bright, airy space with 9 foot ceilings; large bedrooms with walk in closets; all while affording an open concept. Beautiful wide hallways with wainscoting, crown molding, and curved arches. A focal feature of this home is the floor to ceiling rock-faced fireplace, finished with a live edge mantel. The kitchen boasts Brand New premium model, stainless steel appliances perfect for the avid home chef.

This updated lower character home is both private and quiet. Both cool in the
summer and warm in the winter, the home has 9 foot ceilings, heated tiled floors in both the kitchen and bathroom, completely updated from floor to ceiling. Both the Master bedroom and the second bedroom offer walk in closets to stow away one's luggage and all that one can pack in it The luxurious bathroom has an abundance of linen and towels, laundry and loads of led lighting. One can either enjoy the soaker tub for relaxing or for the shower lovers, a beautiful rain shower awaits you. This has been both a pet and smoke free home.

This is not a basement suite, rather a lower strata duplex which is completely independent of the upper home. Updated sound proofing has made this an exceptional place to call your home away from home.

The apartment was excellent and is well described in the photos on VRBO. Communication with the host and his co host was prompt and very useful.The location was very good for us …a 15 minute drive at most for many of the activities we undertook. Noise from people renting the upper unit was minimal. Overall an excellent rental compared to others that we have stayed at on Vancouver Island.

Amazing place - beautiful with everything you need for a great stay. Comfortable beds, full pantry, cooking supplies, etc. and Gerry is an enthusiastic host whom we enjoyed meeting very much. Convenient to historic Victoria but we had a car. Did not check out public transportation. Right across from a lovely nature preserve which we enjoyed. Also enjoyed the outdoor patio.Would definitely stay again!

Excellent Personal Touch

The accommodations were great! Plenty of amenities available to us including things not expected, even cream for the coffee! The outside space with the gas fire pit was a nice touch, which we enjoyed after a long day site seeing.The person to person greeting by the host, who gave us a tour and explained what was available to us, was a nice touch and very much appreciated.

Great stay!

Great 2-bedroom unit. Looks recently renovated, spotless clean and well stocked. From bedding (pillows and blankets) to all kinds of kitchen tools and gadgets, including various cooking basics (salt, pepper, spices and oils), plus various condiments. Best stocked place I’ve stayed at. Lots of closet space too. Tea, coffee and even fresh cream included. Everything you need for a relaxing stay. Would definitely stay here again.

Well appointed lower level

Gerry has a lovely lower level space in a suburban neighborhood. If you like to cook, the kitchen was stocked with many spices, oils, coffee, and condiments making it much easier for visitors. Top notch materials throughout. Large windows keep it from feeling like a basement apartment.

10/10 for a sparkling clean apartment with the most fully equipped kitchen. BBQ and patio. Nature walk around lake just down the road. Close drive to shops. Kids playground a few minutes walk. Comfortable beds (5th & 6th person, if applicable, are on a blow up mattress in living/dining). Enjoyed our three nights.

Close to Arena

I booked the suite as it appeared to be close to the Peakes arena where we were playing in a hockey tournament. It was a great quiet location, and easy access to the arena. It was well equipped, had sufficient parking and served our needs. I would definitely stay again.

Not small children friendly

The unit itself was beautiful a very lovely "Show home" As we had small children we were visiting it was not condusive to entertaining them at the unit which was a draw back for us only. I would however recommend the unit to my friends who have older family members to deal with. Thank you

Christmas holiday

The property exceeded our expectations, and the owner went above and beyond to make our family holiday exceptional. Even accommodating us when we had to adjust our dates due to weather. The lower home is beautifully finished and well equipped with everything needed to prepare our holiday dinner. The beds were very comfortable and the space is large, warm and bright. Our first Christmas together with family after CoVid was perfect and enjoyed by all. Thank you Gerry.
