It really is just a short stroll to the beach, which we did at the beginning and end of our days here. Wonderful place, centrally located and great as a base for our Saanich, Victoria or Gulf Island adventures. Private, cozy and comfortable for three or four people. Fully functional kitchen for preparing your own meals, comfortable living room for tv or movies and nice beds in both bedrooms. The hosts were friendly and very welcoming, but not imposing. You have the main floor to yourself and it is modern and very clean.
