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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Everything went smoothly and we were very pleased with Gerry's VRBO premises. So many nice features and amenities, it was absolutely spotless and everything was modern and completely stocked. We brought our own breakfast meals and left for the days/eves and appreciated everything else we needed was there.

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
