Our family has been to Victoria, BC on a few occasions. It is one of our favorite places to visit. Our son was reluctant to go on this trip because he didn't want to miss time away from friends. At the end of the trip, our son remarked that this was his "best vacation ever." This was in no small part due to a wonderful host and excellent place. Firstly, checking in and communication were excellent. The place itself was spacious, clean and perfect for a quiet family getaway. It is within 20-30 minutes of everything that you'd want to do on a trip to Vancouver Island, but offers the retreat of a mountainside getaway. There is a huge backyard overlooking the hills, and the neighborhood itself is quiet and scenic. The hosts ensured that we had everything which we needed including amenities, linen and entertainment. We will most definitely be staying at this location again when we return.
