Every aspect of our experience at the Oceanfront Garden was fantastic, from prior arrangements to arrival and stay. Hosts Athol and Mary-Anne treated us like family! The apartment is beautifully and comfortably appointed, clean and inviting. The kitchen is well-stocked and easy to use. The bedrooms and baths are separated for privacy and quiet, the beds are very comfortable (we wanted to buy the same kind of sheets, they're so light and soft). The porch area with the fire pit is a perfect addition to the accommodations...and the view from the porch is amazing. Mary-Anne has blankets on the porch for those times when it is chilly. Free parking is provided in the driveway behind the home. You can walk to a grocery store, pharmacy, bank, coffee shops within ten minutes...and it's a short walk to Beacon Hill Park - a must! For those guests who might have issues with stairs, there are a few stairs from the ground level down to the apartment. We last visited Victoria eleven years ago with the same friends on this trip. We had such a great time we're hoping to book for June 2027! I'm not sure the bookings go out that far, but there's no doubt we would book with Athol and Mary-Anne again.
