What a lovely surprise to find complimentary jar of home bottle pears on arrival. That was very much appreciated. The house as shown on the website was just as we found it. Very spacious and clean. the location was good but you do need a car as it is 30 minutes from Victoria and 15 minutes from Swartz Bay Ferry. Whilst it is only one block back from Hwy 17, we could hear the traffic but did not find it too disturbing. The surrounding area is very pleasant with plenty of open space and of course just a few minutes walk to the beach.
