Worth it. Worth it. So worth it! So it's not in downtown proper. Rent the car. It's absolutely perfect for a quiet, seaside escape in a friendly, quaint, and cute neighborhood of Victoria. The trip to downtown via car is incredibly easy, and coming back from a busy day in town to Barry and Patti's place is a great feeling.
By no means a complaint: I expected the suite to be a little larger, but it was still more than enough room for just myself. Two people can definitely still stay here comfortably, especially if they're savvy packers like me. Other awkward discovery was realizing if the "neighbors" had their blinds open, they could see into the bedroom and I could see into their place. Once that and the initial couples walking by the patio a few times occurred, it was fine by me.
In my just-shy-of-a-week time there: I had a seal peek its head out and "wave" to me, I alarmed three sea otters as they scurried on the rocks (the feeling was mutual until I realized what they were), and was able to watch a small pod of killer whales make their way in the distance. I didn't want to leave!
