This is a complete suite. Home away from home. The view from the suite is majestic. The host is adorable. Loved the welcoming basket. Even has beach towels, pic-nic basket. As I said, home away from home! Parking for the rented car. Absolute gem.

Everything about this unit was perfect, we have never been to a Vrbo that was so well equipped for guests right down to salt pepper sugar etc that many other units seem to miss. The host Ruth was most accomodating, and full of suggestive ideas for sightseeing adventures. The view of her gardens, to the views of the cruise ships visiting Victoria, and the distant snow-capped mountains was exceptional. All in all, a clean tidy fully prepared and functional rental. On this, we would give it more than the 5 stars allowed!
The rental is on the lower level

Loved our stay at this apartment. It is huge. Great kitchen, laundry, and living space. Beautiful view. It is about a 30 minute drive into Victoria but can be a bit longer coming home in the afternoon. I would highly recommend this apartment and would not hesitate to stay here again.

Very large space super clean, everything you need is supplied. Soaps, coffee, laundry soap. The mornings are very bright as there are no curtains, but that view...stunning! The large bed was super soft to sleep on. The smaller one was not. Could not have asked for a better host, amazing communication! I wish we could have stayed longer.

Great place for an extended stay. The suite is quiet large. The kitchen is large and well equiped for self catering. Plenty of towels and linens. Great location. The view is amazing from the kitchen, livingroom and master bedroom. We enjoyed watching the sunrise over Victoria harbour. It was also great to have a washer and dryer as we stayed for 11 days. Ruth told us to enjoy fresh tomatoes from the garden which we did each evening we made salad for dinner.Yummy.

Ruth’s suite exceeded our expectations. It was bright, clean, comfortable and well equipped with everything we needed for a wonderful stay. The location was perfect as it was close to Pearson College UWC and the view was amazing. We loved waking up every morning to the beautiful sunrise and having a glass of wine on the patio in the evening while watching the cruise ships leaving the Victoria harbor. We look forward to staying again next year.
