We travel to Victoria and the west coast quite often. Over the years I've discovered two places that I consider absolute gems and try to return to (but generally find they've already been booked because these wonderful places that take dogs are difficult to find) - one is in Tofino and the other on Galiano Island. Now I can add a third gem to the short list... Mike and Geoff truly have the ideal set up for guests. The apartment is comfortable and cozy as can be, the deck looking out over the water is worth the price of admission (you can even look out to the water from the bathtub!), the property is gorgeous and beautifully kept. Last but not least, Geoff and Mike are wonderful guys - definitely in the right business. We felt so at home here that we didn't even go into downtown Victoria for the first time ever. The walk along the gorge, the coffee shop on the corner, walking distance to a Dairy Queen - we were quite happy to keep the car parked and stay put. Thanks for sharing your little piece of paradise, and we hope to return soon and stay longer. Of course, with all these rave reviews, I know that will become difficult and will have to make my plans early.
