Dale and Allison's place provided us with a very comfortable cozy nest for our group of five while visiting family over Christmas in Sidney. The place is just lovely overall and what stood out most for me was the kitchen where I was able to make a number of side dishes for Christmas to take to our family dinner - great cooking facilities and tools. The entertainment system is top notch with two Samsung smart TVs and access to a number of streaming channels including Netflix, Disney+, Amazon and Crave. Beds super comfy and a quiet location. The commercial village of Sidney is a close 5 minute drive with great shopping. Victoria is an easy 30 minute drive, and ferries and airport are close by. This would be a great base to explore Victoria and the southeast part of Vancouver island. The host was very responsive and helped us out immediately with a glitch with the door code. Most highly recommended and we hope to stay again.
