Saanich Area
The property was great until we found too many flies and flying ants dead and dying in the place. The cottage had been fumigated the day before so there was still evidence. We tried to stay after most of the bugs were cleaned up but the bugs just kept coming back! We received a refund from the host and moved to a hotel.

Island Adventure!
We had an excellent time at the cottage. We were able to venture into Victoria for sight seeing as well as Sidney. We didn’t get a chance to use any of the “toys” - ladderball, paddle board, or bikes. The cottage is small but had everything we needed foe the most part! There was a table fire pit available as well as a BBQ. I recommend bringing your own beach towels. We would go back to this place for sure!

Do Not Book this Place.
I regret that i have to write this review. I booked this place because of its high rankings. Im not sure what has happened to this property but when i visited here with my mother and partner, this is how it was: 1. The cabin is NOT as depicted in the photos. It is very small, almost uninhabiatble. The yard is so tiny that you cannot use it. 2. The cabin is dirty. There were dead bugs all around the cabin. The dishes were stained. The sheets on the couch had not been washed and there were stains on them. There were stains on the bathroom mirror. Doors and door knobs were so dirty that it was painful to open the door. 3. The shampoo left for use was half empty. And the soaps stank. 4. The bedroom was never dusted and the pillows stank. We visited during summer and the whole island was crowded. If i could have found another place on the spot I would have. This place is not fit for human dwelling. I will not book with Vrbo again given the company has given the host green light to list such a place. Here's what you can do to book a much nicer place: use other travel booking agencies and book a villa by the beach either towards the southwest or north. They're the same price and drive towards them is actually pleasant.

Nice cottage
Was the perfect location for our early morning ferry departure. It was nicely decorated, outfitted and the bed was pretty darn comfortable! We did have a bit of an issue finding the driveway entrance but that was it.

Adorable Mini Cabin
We loved staying here! It was so clean and cute inside and had everything we might need for cooking! The step up into the bedroom and the wooden floors made it feel like an old farm home, and it was the perfect place to stay on our honeymoon! The owner also let us come in a bit early as we arrived on the island in the early morning!! They were extremely accommodating and quick with communicating!

Location
The cottace is right beside the highway which is brilliant if you come from or go to the ferry at Swartz Bay. But, traffic does create noise, you should be aware of that.

Cozy Cabin
Cute compact cottage; perfect for the 2 of us. Great location between the ferry terminal and Sidney by the Sea. Perfect location for hiking, sightseeing, and geocaching. Very "compact" kitchen, so maybe not a great choice for a long-term stay for those wishing to do a lot of their own cooking. Great internet was a real bonus!

Awesome little Cottage!
A great little cottage central to everything and everywhere we wanted to do and go. We were initially a little concerned about the proximity to the main highway but it was no issue at all. The host was excellent to deal with from start to finish. We would absolutely stay again.

The cleanliness was a little lacking.( Mouse poop in bathroom.) The coffee maker only produced half a cup when set to large setting. Coffee mate was hard and no sugar provided. Other than that it was a very nice cozy cabin. Much better than staying in a hotel. We will definetly stay here again.

Cute and Convenient
We stayed in this cute cottage for two nights near the end of September. The cottage is an interesting mixture of styles with a lovely new bathroom and well equipped kitchen. The location was so convenient...we cycled on the Lochside Trail [we started just outside the property], took a family member to the airport and later drove a short distance to the ferry. Communication with the owner was excellent!

A little treasure of Sidney/North Saanich
My family had an amazing time in the cottage. It is a very cozy, clean, surrounded by nature home. The location of the Cottage is a dream. There are several wonderful parks and hidden beaches around as for example: Lillian Hoffar park is a waterfront park located a walking distance from the property or Roberts Bay (Harbor Migratory Bird Sanctuary) beautiful corner to admire sunsets or sunrises. There are several farm markets around to buy fresh and local. There are an fromage store with a great variety of cheeses from France and Spain, and the amazing patisserie, Fickle fig in Sidney. Thrifty Foods in Sidney has perfect assortment of groceries from around the world. All these places can be easily reached by bike for about 10 minutes or possible to have a nice relaxing walk to Sidney from the property it will take about 20-30 minutes admiring the beauty of life around. Anthony is kind, caring and responsible host. We are very grateful for our time in the cottage.
