If you just get one thing from this review, let it be this: YOU HAVE TO STAY AT THIS HOUSE!
It is absolutely stunning and by far the best Air BnB I have ever stayed at! It is very secluded but just 15 minutes from Victoria. My wife and I went with our 1 year old and a couple of friends with a baby the same age. We all consider ourselves adventurers and planned to spend most of our time out of the house (hiking, exploring, etc). However, we loved the house so much, we hung out there more than anything else.
The house's layout is perfect for little ones because it is all one story. You will need to babyproof it a little but that is to be expected. I personally loved all the windows. It brought in a lot of natural light and of course the beautiful scenery. Having the sliding doors in every room was nice too because it gave you access to the large deck wherever you were in the house.
The wildlife was definitely the kids favorite part. They were fascinated by the deers who would get as close as 15 meters from us. We saw a mommy deer and her two fawns on the property so often that we named them. Also, every day we were there we saw at least one seal or otter loitering in the water below.
I can't say enough about what an awesome experience it was to stay at this home. It was very difficult to leave and I think the adults cried more than the kids.
Thank you again Kurt for everything and hopefully we will be up your way again soon.
