What a beautiful place! Just like the photos (maybe even better), the location is incredible. Lots of restaurants right there. Well-appointed kitchen. The only challenge is parking, but worked out just fine. Absolutely will book again!

Tide Water View Bedroom + New Bathroom

ArnaudRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Great place for a quiet stay in Victoria, room was impeccably clean, cozy and the balcony overlooking the river is a great plus! The bathroom comes with everything you need, and with a modern bidet, which I love because it’s cleaner and helps save trees! Lipton was a very responsive host and was very accommodating! I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town!

Private Oceanfront House & Cottage w/ Hot Tubs!

CarolynRating, 5 stars5 months ago
We had a great family holiday in Sooke. 9 adults and 1 toddler. Close enough to go into Victoria! (Even by e-bike!!) Spent some time on the Galloping Goose and exploring East Sooke Regional Park. We spent some time on the water and in the nice big hot. The beds were all very comfortable!

Full sun lake front. Private dock and hot tub

TriciaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Beautiful and convenient location for our Victoria trip. Lake view and private dock was a bonus. We went during Thanksgiving so we appreciated the view and hot tub. Only complaint was the very limited cooking pans and pots

If we could give ten stars, we would. Christine was an excellent host. She has thought of everything to make her guests feel welcome and at home. The location is unmatched in terms of natural beauty, privacy, design, comforts and convenience. We will never forget our time at Sooke, made all the more special by being able to stay at Christine’s beautiful home. We are so grateful she is sharing this special place. Thank you Christine!

This is a beautiful, tranquil location and lovely home.

2bdm-sleeps6 Condo Victoria WM Resort#

AlisonRating, 5 stars5 months ago
A fabulous place to stay on the waterfront in Victoria. Everything was just as the pictures and as described. It had everything you could need & amazing views. We loved being so close to Fisherman’s wharf with the restaurants and watching the seals, floatplanes, all sorts of things going on in the harbour. A great walk into the city centre too along the waterfront or to the coast in the other direction. We would definitely stay here again if coming back to Victoria.

Miraloma

ShannonRating, 5 stars18 months ago
This was the perfect space for our family. The open layout and balcony were wonderful. The unit stayed cool on the hot days. The underground parking was very convenient. One note: It is definitely more suited for a couple than family. It is clearly advertised as a one bedroom, but the bed for the 5th person being a single mattress on the floor was a bit of a surprise.
A relaxing waterfront area is presented, featuring a wide pathway leading towards the lake. Sun umbrellas in vibrant colors are positioned over lounge chairs, creating shaded spots. A clear blue sky and fluffy white clouds reflect on the calm water, complementing the lush green lawn.

Highly recommend! We stayed here as 5 adult siblings for 4 days. Check in was easy, plenty of parking (even with my large truck), exactly as described, beds were comfy, even the Murphy bed in the wall. View of the bay and sea planes, walkable to everything. Shower pressure was great and plenty of hot water to go around for the 5 of us. We had a wonderful time!

The Ivy - Lux Executive Suite | Heart of Downtown

GenevieveRating, 5 stars1 month ago
If you’re looking for a spot right in downtown Victoria this place is perfect! We were able to walk to all of the restaurants, vintage shops, bakeries etc that we had been looking forward to checking out. Parking was right across the street in the parkade on Yates. Our location was so easy to access and since we walked most days we could come back in no time to change or grab something we forgot. Being downtown it is noisy on the weekend and the bar across the street has a 90s night on Mondays which is also loud…but you’re downtown so expect that. Thank you Timothy we enjoyed our stay immensely!
