My friends and I were in Victoria for a wedding this weekend and we were looking for a family house to stay in for my friend-family since it's WAY better than all getting separate hotel rooms. Julia's amazingly decorated home had exactly the homeliness we were looking for. She was initially worried about renting out her family's space to a group of 30 year olds but her fears were put to ease when she heard that we're all a military group of friends.
Location: perfectly situatuated for our circumstances. The wedding venue wasn't located near the center of the city but was only 15-20 minutes from Julia's house and perfect for our circumstance. But if you are looking for something closer to the city this might not be the perfect fit for you.
Accommodations: one master bedroom downstairs with the kitchen and living room. All were very cozy and inviting. Upstairs we had the kids room with the two twin beds and the other two double and queen beds. All were very nice and cozy. One caveat: one of the queen beds is located in the same room as the bathroom. I know at first read this sounds ridiculous but the space was laid out so well out couple staying there didn't mind it at all! We even began to call it the bed bath and beyond room!
Outside there is a really nice patio, table, chairs, and grill as well as a trampoline in good shape.
Overall: highly recommend Julia's amazing home. She's very nice and inviting as well as the space that she cultivated. Things you might not like: there are only 2 bathrooms in the whole house so if you go up to 9 guests there's a little bit of musical porcelain. Second, her father-in-law, Bruce, lives in the basement: sounds strange I know but he's one of the nicest guys I've met and super helpful when we tripped some circuit breakers. We didn't mind having him around at all but if you're concerned with absolute privacy it may be an issue.
Thanks again Julia and you can be sure that next time aargr group of my friends gather on Victoria it will be at your beautiful house
