For those deciding between a hotel in Victoria and this place: Stay in Victoria. This place is over 30 min outside of Victoria in a suburban area- at the very end of a run down cul de sac. Felt like I was going to an uncles house not a private Airbnb. Please note this is a professional BnB place. So the owners are front and center in the main part of the house watching everything behind mirrored windows. They sit out and watch the whole deck area and water area. Had zero privacy which is the reason I stay at air bnb and not a BnB. Also please note that your 200 dollar night stay does not get you breakfast even tho it’s a BnB.
We showed up and a very cranky older man answered the door and literally said “who are you?”
I was shocked by the rude greeting. I was then immediately told that the “reservation was for 2 not 3.” (We have a 19 month old) where I stated to him that the owner knew I had the baby as we had been talking about him.
Also please note the hotub is a Luke warm bath in front of their house section. Zero children are allowed at all. So if you want your older kids going- be advised their insurance doesn’t cover it.
Their pictures made it look way nicer and more majestic than it is. Bummed I was fooled by this place. It’s not bad, but it is not great at all. Definitely not even close to luxury like they classify it. Looks out onto water with some sort of construction/crane port in the background.
This was the first stay on Airbnb I have ever had even a mildly bad experience with. (20+ stays in 5 years) Every single place I have stayed has always been so much better than I imagined. That’s why I come back for every trip we take. Anyways I booked this place based on reviews and I wish this factual review had been on their. Too far away from everything and not in a true countryside.
