About this property

Beautiful Ocean View Suite Near the Airport, Ocean and Wineries!

The Space:

A renovated 1940's, 1800 square foot main floor suite. Beautiful ocean and garden views, bright and open. Lots of room for parking. Full kitchen with stainless steel appliances. Two living/sitting rooms: one bright and airy sunroom with a pullout bed and one huge living room with ocean view, gas fireplace, flat screen TV and dining area. The house features beautiful local and international art work and high-end furniture and finishes. I live in this suite when it is not rented so it is very well-equipped with everything you might need for a comfortable stay.

Two bedrooms and pullout couch are on the main floor and the third bedroom is just down a flight of stairs as you enter the house. The laundry room is also downstairs (shared with basement suite). The master bedroom has a king sized bed and 2 luxury ensuite bathrooms (1 with walk-in shower, 2nd with tub/shower); the other two bedrooms each have a queen-sized bed. Brand new memory foam sofa bed in the sunroom (main floor) can accommodate 2 more people (for a total of 8 sleeping guests). The third bathroom with tub/shower and heated tile floors is also on the main floor and is shared between the other two bedrooms.

This property features a large yard with ocean views, open and covered patio areas with Weber BBQ, flower gardens, an orchard, and veggie and herb gardens for your dining pleasure (seasonal!). Very comfortable and welcoming. Please note: My property is next to the Pat Bay Highway, so you will hear moderate road noise during peak traffic times of day when you are out in the yard.

The kitchen has everything you need to feel at home. Tea, locally roasted coffee, sugar, preserves and select spices are included. Help yourselves to condiments, sauces and any creamers left in the fridge as well!

Guest Access:

Full kitchen, two living rooms, wireless internet, Netflix (sorry no cable TV), large yard with a small orchard (apples, pears and plums), two open patios, one large covered patio (shared with basement suite), and a Weber BBQ.

A shared laundry room with brand new washer and dryer is available for stays of 5 nights or longer. There are five steps to get into the home, then everything is on one level (except laundry room & 3rd bedroom) so very walker/wheelchair friendly once inside.

Bathrooms have fresh towels, hair dryer and soap for your use and bedrooms have spare linens for lengthier stays. Bedrooms and bathrooms all have big opening windows so you can enjoy fresh ocean air during your stay!

Interaction with Guests:

I will not be at the house during your visit, but will be available at all times should you need anything!

House Rules:

This is a non-smoking home and property. NO EXCEPTIONS! $50 fine for smoking anywhere on the property. Please treat my home with respect and care for it the way you would care for a space you love. I have other guests in my basement suite, so please be respectful of noise, especially at night and early in the morning (including heavy footsteps...). Quiet hours are between 10pm and 8am. $200 fine if a neighbour complains or if the police are called to the house.

Laundry room is only available for stays of 5 nights or longer.

Pets are welcome with approval first, but they are not permitted on the beds or on the furniture. There is a one-time $50 fee for pets.

If you use the BBQ, you must clean it after (scrape and brush), turn off the propane and put the cover back on.

Lastly, please strip the beds, wash your dishes, turn off the heat and lights, and put any used towels and linens in a pile outside the laundry room before you check-out. Thank you!

Lovely Stay

We enjoyed our stay very much. Beautiful garden and lovely views. The home was spacious, comfortable and clean. Location is great. One bedroom was a bit warm, and there is a bit of highway noise when windows are open, but overall a tremendous value. We would absolutely stay here again.

Adult family getaway

Thanks for the spacious accommodation for our adult family getaway. We had a wedding to attend at the nearby Cidery so it was perfect for that. Providing coffee was a lovely surprise! The beds were great, the showers hot, and the closeness to Sidney were all plusses! Thanks for everything.

Great stay close to family wedding celebration

We loved the location as it was close to the family wedding celebration. Very well stocked kitchen and amenities. Did not realize it was backing onto the highway but when windows closed unable to hear the traffic. The view is fantastic overlooking the islands and ocean. Would love to stay again as so close to family on the island.

Lovely clean home with comfortable beds.

Location is a little remote from Victoria, but we liked the closeness to Sidney ferries. A little disappointed that the 3rd bedroom in the basement didn't have a bathroom with it.

Stay in Sidney

This property was exactly as pictures had shown. This is our second stay at this home. It is so well appointed with everything to make us feel right at home. Bathrooms are very well updated and fresh and clean. Spacious yard and many areas to sit and relax or play yard games. Highly recommend this home.

Lovely home

We stayed here for a family event in Sidney. It was perfect for 5 adults and a 1.5 year old. It's a short drive to downtown Sidney and the ferries. Up the road is a little bakery that is very cute. My daughter loved running from one side of the house to the other. With everything being on one floor, it was perfect for a toddler. The backyard is peaceful and private for the warm summer nights. We would recommend this place to anyone. Thanks!

Wonderful Long Term Stay

We stayed at this home for 6 weeks. It is a great character home that has been updated and well cared for. The house is clean, has all the amenities one needs, has a feel of comfort and home, is in a good location and importantly, has a wonderful and responsive owner. There are great views from the large windows, and in summer, the yard would be very pretty when the trees and shrubs are in bloom. Our only disappointment was the large budding plant by the back door did not bloom when we were there due to the unseasonable colder weather. Maybe Shannon will email us a picture when all the flowers blossom (LOL). Thank you Shannon for a wonderful stay. We highly recommend this property.

convenient location but dated decor

the house is very big especially the living room but the furnitures and decor is very outdated., not as what i saw from the pictures. the ventilation in the kitchen is horrible., after i cook the fish in the kitchen, the fish smell polluted into the master bed room until the other day. i strongly suggest them to upgrade this part. also, the kitchen is very messy and the utensils are very dated too., i paid 500 for one night and i don't think it's worth !

Great place

Despite a slight hiccup upon our arrival, which was resolved by host quickly, we were pleasantly surprised with the space. Living space was great, rooms were large enough. Beautiful yard and great view. location was ideal for us for local attractions and not too far from Victoria. Would stay there again!

Great place near Sidney - shared space

We loved the home and communication from the owner was wonderful during the weekend. She was very accommodating! The yard and views are incredible and the traffic noise mentioned is really just white noise. Our only complaint/comment is that this property is a duplex/shared space, so you will likely have renters in the basement and the outdoor space is all shared with them. Our neighbors were fantastic and our dogs got along great, but that would have been good to know ahead of time!

Great spot with everything you need!

Our entire group couldn't stop commenting on how nice the house was! Lots of room (three bedrooms plus a pull-out couch made it easy to sleep everyone comfortably) and all of the amenities we could ask for. Great living room with comfy couches and big TV, large dining room table that fit all 7 of us, full kitchen with all the cookware and utensils we needed. Coffee, tea, spices, and condiments were all readily available in the fridge and pantry. Beautiful patio with BBQ. Wonderful view from the living room. CD player with fantastic assortment of old road trip mix tapes. Can't say enough about this place! Also, Shannon was incredibly friendly and super quick to respond to any messages. 10/10 would stay here again.

Our family needed a place near Sydney and convenient to the airport for late arrivals and this home fit the bill nicely as it’s a short trip to either location. The home was quite nice with ample room for the 6 of us plus 5 guests that came for a meal and evening visit. Parking is easy and secure and I can easily recommend this home.

About the host

Hosted by Shannon Weightman

Host profile image
I am a wife to a wonderful husband and mother to a brilliant little girl and a vizsla named Brixen. I love to travel, but like many others have not been able to for the past couple years. As a host, I love meeting new people and I thoroughly enjoy hosting travelers. I enjoy gardening, so may see me tending to the property in the spring and fall. COVID has been tough because I rarely get to meet my guests. I'm looking forward to a future when we can meet in person again!

Why they chose this property

This property is in the heart of North Saanich. It's super easy to zip onto the highway and get to downtown Victoria, or head into the quaint Town of Sidney for some awesome restaurants, local shopping and a waterfront stroll. My yard is huge and the house is just minutes to the ocean, parks and wineries. I have an orchard with apples, plums and pears, as well as herb and veggies gardens, strawberries and raspberries. Makes it easy to enjoy local eats in the spring and summer! Tons of farms nearby for all the extra fruit and veg that I don't have :-)

What makes this property unique

I'm a 2 minute drive or 20 minute walk to Sea Cider Farm and Ciderhouse, and 15 minutes from any winery on the Peninsula and Butchart Gardens. I'm just 5 minutes from the airport, 10 minutes from Sidney, and 15 minutes to the ferry terminal. Dean Park is a 5 minute drive up the hill and has amazing hiking trails and a gorgeous viewpoint! Lots of farms nearby to get fresh produce all year round.
