About this property

Modern Luxury 2 Bedroom Suite Minutes to the Ocean!

The Space:

Beautiful, modern 2 bedroom (plus pull-out sofa) suite with 1 luxurious bathroom. Free parking for up to 2 cars next to the entrance. Huge patio and yard with a BBQ. Kitchen has everything you need to enjoy a fabulous stay. Bathroom has heated tile floors, opening window, and a tub/shower. If you need room for even more guests, I rent the upstairs suite as well. See my other listing! You can rent the entire house to accommodate up to 13 guests.

There is a pull-out couch and chair in the living/dining area and a queen-sized bed in each bedroom. There are 5 bar-stools at the kitchen island for dining and a highchair should you need one for your little.

Two big patios are available to you; one is uncovered and private for your use (with a BBQ), and the second is covered with a propane fire pit and couches and is shared with upstairs unit.

Guest Access:

Kitchen has everything you need for cooking/prepping meals. Coffee, tea, sugar and select spices are included. Propane BBQ on the patio! Orchard with apples, pears and plums (June/July) and fresh herbs and produce (seasonal) are for your use as well. Also strawberries and raspberries to pick in the yard (May-June) and blackberries all over the neighbourhood (July/August). *Please note: The suite does not have a dishwasher.

Netflix and wireless high speed internet included.

Large patio has a dining table with four chairs and umbrella as well as a propane BBQ. There are also lawn chairs and a picnic table for soaking up the sun in the yard :-) Covered patio has couches and a propane fire pit (shared with upstairs unit).

The yard is shared with the upstairs suite and the laundry room is shared as well (only available for stays of 5 days or longer). Covered patio with fire pit is also available for your use, but is shared with the upstairs guests. Please note: This property is located next to the small Pat Bay Highway, so you may hear moderate road noise in the yard during peak traffic times of day. As this is a basement suite you will also hear some noise from the upstairs guests if it is rented during your stay.

Interaction with Guests:

I like to leave my guests in peace, but am available at any time should you need me! Happy to accommodate you in any way I can!

House Rules:

Checkin is 4pm, checkout is 10am. This is a non-smoking property, including the yard. NO EXCEPTIONS! $50 fine for smoking on the property. There are guests in the suite upstairs at various times, so please respect that the property is shared. Be aware of noise, especially at night and in the morning.

Wish we had longer than a 17 hours stay!

It was our last night and we had an early flight. It is very convenient to the airport. Because of the rain we did not have an opportunity to use the outside dining or fire pit area. KItchen was well appointed....even had spices.

A great place to stay on southern Vancouver Island

I stayed at this rental unit for 10 weeks following the sale of my house and relocation to another province. It is spotlessly clean and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The gardens are beautiful and the location is excellent, close to Sidney and a short drive to Victoria. I can't say enough about how well Shannon treats her guests. She is easily accessible and very accommodating. I had one minor issue that she managed right away. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone.

Wonderful family getaway

We loved this property. This is our second time staying here and we loved it both times. This time we stayed in the basement 2-bedroom suite. The bathroom is small and could be an issue sharing with 4 people as you will need to take turns. The yard is great. The kids love being able to run around. The BBQ worked great with the little patio seating by the entrance. The property location is great as it’s right off the highway. The backyard is loud, as it backs onto the highway but you can not hear any of that noise when you are inside the suite. We stayed here as a family of 4 (2 elementary school-age kids).

A great place to stay when visiting the Victoria BC area

If you are looking for a clean modern two bedroom home in the Victoria BC (Sidney area) area don't pass up this beautiful home. Located just off the main highway (17A) about 3 miles south of Sidney BC you have easy access to Victoria and all the local attractions. Close to the international airport as well. This home is a new suite on the lower level (full walk-out) of an existing home & is very clean and modern. Shannon is a gracious host provide all the essential items needed, we especially enjoyed the "home canned" peaches! As mentioned, this is a very clean home with a new feel. I highly recommend Shannon's vacation home if you are visiting the Victoria BC area.

Wonderful property in great location

The property had everything we needed for our stay. We loved the location so close to the ocean, easy walking distance with pedestrian overpass to cross the highway. Nice to be out of the city yet just a short trip in to Victoria. Shannon was a delight to deal with. We would definitely recommend this property!

Host Shannon and her husband Jeff were fabulous hosts.. The suite was extremely clean and the house is set on a huge backyard which was great for our dog and back yard grilling. There are two spacious bedrooms at either end of the suite allowing for privacy. We would definitely come back.

About the host

Hosted by Shannon Weightman

Host profile image
I love to travel, but I rarely have the time for it! I work a lot. I have an enormous bucket list of places to work my way through. I love meeting new people and I thoroughly enjoy hosting travelers in my home. I am very outdoorsy and active, but I also love sitting down to read a good book or watch some TV.

Why they chose this property

My home 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. 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 (drive) from the airport, 10 minutes from Sidney, and 15 minutes to the Swartz Bay 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. 25 minute drive to downtown Victoria. 5 minute walk down the street and across the pedestrian overpass to the nearest beach.
