Loved our stay at Valerie's home on the water in Victoria. All our communication with her prior to our arrival was prompt and very helpful. Although Valerie was out of town, Trish was there to greet us and gave us a thorough orientation to the home which was beautiful, spacious, and inviting, and in the best neighborhood in town as far as we could see. Big windows overlooking the beach and water, fabulous view, a nice patio with a hot tub which we enjoyed using, two bedrooms and we really appreciated having laundry facilities at the mid point in our trip. The kitchen was well stocked (and we learned that Valerie is a chef - the kitchen shows that!) and my husband had a lot of fun cooking for us in that open and clean space. We spent three days sightseeing, but the fourth day decided to just "stay home," and read and drink tea and coffee all day long, with a little walk, and of course lunch on Cook Street. We'd come back in a minute! Thanks Valerie and Trish.
