We had a wonderful and relaxing weekend at Shannon's home in North Saanich! Shannon was very communicative, and messaged us before and after arrival to ensure we had everything we needed. The house had all the amenities we were looking for, such as access to kitchen/appliances, outdoor grill, bathtub, and even AppleTV. While the property did not sit directly on the waterfront, it was a fairly short walk to the ocean. I enjoyed being able to go for a run along the water (head north towards Sidney for some great views!). Shannon's home is terrific for anyone looking for the Vancouver Island experience with room to relax just outside of Victoria. Only my wife and I stayed, but with 3 bedrooms/3 bathrooms, this would be very nice for a group as well.
