We were made very welcome through excellent communications, and in person through Trish. The home was easy to access, and private. The views were tremendous - with the ocean at your door-step - and always changing.
There was easy access to a friendly local food store for supplies, and the house was an ideal base from which we could explore and experience Victoria.
Valerie is obviously a great cook, and the home is filled with cook books (including her own - thanks), as well as a well-equipped and open kitchen. The sleeping accommodations were also clean, and well furnished - with comfortable beds.
Overall - the experience was fantastic - the views, the hot tub, the option to explore the ocean front, or just relax and watch the weather. We enjoyed it all.
P.S. - One other detail... the WiFi worked well, was quite fast and proved to be reliable.
