This house was very cozy and comfortable for 2 families of 4 with 2 grand parents. The kids loved the wii and other board games that were made available for use. The wood burning fireplace and provided fire wood was a nice touch. Vangel also welcomed us with a bottle of wine upon our entrance in the foyer and there was coffee and popcorn already provided. So small touches that made us feel welcomed into their home. The one thing I could never seem to figure out was how to adjust the heat for the radiant heated tiles in kitchen and master bath. There were instructions but no matter what you pressed the heat wouldn’t change. It didn’t bother me enough to contact the host to enquire about it. Location was good, about 30 minutes from Swartz bay ferry terminal and about 20 minutes from downtown Victoria by car.
