Tashi and Ken have a very popular little spot and for good reason. We visited Victoria for a long Memoral Day getaway and couldn't have found a better place to stay. The location is splendid sitting on a corner lot across the street from the beach. We had views of the beach from the bedroom window and could watch the sailboat races that coincidentally started that weekend.
The apartment itself couldn't have been more charming and cozy. There are two bedrooms, lovingly decorated, comfortable and sumptuous beds with lots of pillows, a tiny pocket kitchen which is equipped with everything you need to prepare simple meals, and a pretty little dining area which is already laid out for four and so cute we almost didn't want to touch it! Tashi and Ken have really thought about how to make a place charming, luxurious and comfortable.
We didn't meet Tashi but she was quick with communicating via email and provided us with information before and during our stay to check in on us and offer any assistance. She also let us know about the wonderful boat race that took place in the bay easily visible right from our bedroom window. My husband happened to meet Ken who was taking pictures of the boat races, a gracious and generous host. Ken brought us popsicles to share with our little grandson who hadn't had any before. Fun and funny to watch his amazement at the cold treat!
The neighborhood is a charming community and easily walkable to the beach, to several parks and to a little shopping area for groceries and several restaurants. We loved walking the beach walk everyday and one day even walked west into Victoria as the costal walkway is that extensive. We had perfect weather for this and many pedestrians and bicyclists were out and about enjoying the walk, weather and wildlife. We saw eagles, otters and gulls, watched kayakers, fishermen, kite flyers and lots of dogs and dog owners enjoying this lovely coast.
All and all, we had such a wonderful stay, can highly recommend Tashi and Ken as super hosts, and hope to visit again!
