We stayed in Claire and Cody’s place for a week this summer and it was perfect for us. The location was very quiet and a short drive to downtown. We loved the location for our dog as there is a beautiful park just down the road. We found a great Italian bakery a short walk away for some yummy bread and croissants. The house had big ceiling fans which kept it cool enough during our very warm stay and fans in the bedroom if you get hot at night. The rooms had great storage and a place for everything. We enjoyed the back deck and the sparkly lights at night. Our dog did like the compost pile so we did keep an eye on her in the backyard but it was a perfect house for your dog. We would recommend a new restaurant with a dog friendly patio in Oak Bay called The Windsor Cafe, 2540 Windsor Road. The owners came out and welcomed us and gave our dog a cuddle.
