Kelly and Dave greeted us and showed us the suite. It is bright and cheery, and dramatically exceeded our expectations. Our only disappointment is that we could not stay longer. This suite that had once been used for foreign students, and has everything that you could need, including a full kitchen with cappuccino maker, toaster, waffle maker, etc. The high speed WiFi worked perfectly. There is also a barbecue, large screen TV, computer and other facilities that we didn't have enough time to to try. Kelly is also a gifted interior decorator, and every aspect of the suite is coordinated and looks fantastic. There are two bedrooms, and our 19 year old daughter was very comfortable in her room as well. There is a living room area which is warm and spacious; our other daughter, a newlywed living in Saanich, and her husband came over for an enjoyable evening. While we only stayed with Kelly and Dave for two days, this is the kind of place that you would enjoy staying for a longer period of time -- this can be your home away from home. Last, it is just far enough from the highway, a Save-on, many restaurants and the beach to be completely silent at night, yet conveniently close to pickup supplies or enjoy a meal out at one of Sidney's fine restaurants, bookstores or other amenities.
