About this property

Modern 2 BR in Cook St Village: walk to downtown, the beach & Beacon Hill Park

This two bedroom walk out rental is situated in one of Victoria's most vibrant and centrally located neighbourhoods. Recently renovated and decorated, you will find everything you need to feel at home.

Two bedrooms, one with a queen and one with a double bed, are well appointed with crisp linens and space to store clothing. The bathroom has a tub/shower combination. A washer and dryer are available for use, laundry soap is provided. Bedding is also provided to dress a (wide) couch if additional sleeping space is required.

While the space does not have a kitchenette to prepare food, the rental is equipped with a large sink, kettle, coffee maker and small fridge. Victoria has some of the best restaurants in Canada and we hope you’re able to get out and enjoy them (check out our guide for some local recommendations!).

Located in the Fairfield neighbourhood, the streets are lined with heritage homes and big trees (filled with cherry blossoms in March and April!), and the area has a true community feel while still being in the middle of the city.

You will be located one block away from the heart of Victoria's favourite local hot spot: Cook Street Village. Cook Street Village is a trendy area for locals to hang out/eat/shop/beach. The Village has bakeries, organic and local grocery stores, one of the best liquor shops in the city, a great butcher, a number of coffee shops, food truck alley, florist, antique furniture shops, clothing stores etc.

Beacon Hill Park is also half a block away and is one of Victoria's most beautiful city parks (with a renowned outdoor petting zoo). The park has 2 great playgrounds for kids, one with a zipline(!) and the other with a small water park (seasonal).

The rental is walking distance to both downtown (15 minutes), and the ocean (5 minutes) and is located close to a number of bus routes to take you around Victoria and beyond.

Please note that during your stay our family will be living above you. We have a toddler but we truly make every effort for you to barely know we’re here! That being said, the house is over 100 years old and there is sound transfer between floors - if you require absolute silence during your stay this may not be an appropriate location for you.

Also note the backyard is intended for our family’s use and access is not included as part of the rental (a picnic in Beacon Hill Park is much more lovely anyways!), there is a small side yard which you are welcome to enjoy.

A final note that the ceilings in this space are not full-height throughout. There are beams, door frames, etc. that are 6 feet (or slightly less) and may require someone who is taller than 6 feet to duck their head.

Highlights of the rental include:
*A minimal and well curated space
*WIFI
*Smart TV with access to Netflix, Amazon Prime, and an extended cable subscription
*Laundry
*High quality soaps/shampoo/conditioner from nearby Ash Refillery
*Coffee (local!) and tea provided
*Charming “house” play space under the stairs with lots of toys and books
*Baby travel cot and high chair available upon request
*The beach (only 5 min walk to popular Dallas Road), beach towels provided
*Pizzaria Prima Strada a block away with some of the best wood-fired pizza in the city
*The Beagle Pub (one of our favourites!) right down the street
*Beacon Hill Park half a block away
*Grocery stores/liquor store/shops/coffee/bakery/restaurants all just down the street

Approximately 800 sq.ft.

Check-in is between 3 pm and 10 pm and check-out is before 11 am. Sometimes we are able to accommodate earlier check-in requests but there are no guarantees.

Beautiful spot and great location

We had a great stay here - the street is super quiet, and the beds were really comfortable so everyone slept well. Our daughter appreciated all the toys and books available. The suite is a very nice space to spend time in and the proximity to Beacon Hill Park and Cook St Village can't be beat.

Wonderful spot!

We had a great time staying at Dan and Hailley’s place. It was just as described and also included lots of nice little touches (great kids nook with toys, fresh fruit bowl, lots of books, local soaps and cleaning products). It was myself, my partner, our 18 month old and my mother, and we all had a very comfortable stay. Would definitely recommend!

Nice place in a great location

This was a comfortable and clean vacation rental in a great location. Check-in was easy (we arrived slightly after 11 pm). The unit was thoughtfully decorated and my wife immediately commented that the owner must have some kind of design experience. There were some cool artwork and very interesting books at the house. There is a pair of chairs and a table outside the entrance where you can sit and relax for a bit after being out and about all day (we were basically out from morning to night but would stop by occasionally to refresh before our next adventure of the day). This is our third time in Victoria and the second time staying in Fairfield near Cook Street Village. Victoria is such a nice city and we really love the Cook Street Village neighborhood (we could definitely live there). Cook Street Village has many nice shops (coffee shops, grocery store, pubs, restaurants, etc.) and has a nice comfortable neighborly feel to it. We also met Hailley, Dan, and Orson. They are great and it was nice talking to them. Our stay was very pleasant and a lot of fun. I highly recommend renting out Hailley, Dan, and Orson's place.

Great stay in Victoria

Very nice basement apartment with well designed space and amenities in a great neighborhood of Victoria. Great toys and books for kids; my daughter loved the little house under the stairs. Chilly at night. It is a basement apartment with low ceilings, if you are tall like myself, you will hit your head several times.

You can’t beat the location walking distance to Becan Hill park and downtown. My grandkids enjoyed playing with the toys and puzzles provided. The beds were so comfy and the shower had excellent water pressure. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone.

Be ready to wake up at 5:15am

While it was clean and cozy with comfortable beds, complimentary fruit, a nice location, and a reasonable price, the one big drawback for a relaxing weekend getaway (when you’re out a little later and would like to sleep in a little bit, say maybe until 7 or 8 am) —we were awakened both mornings at 5:15am by footsteps running back and forth over our heads for the next two hours, which precluded any more sleep. We are morning people and we are kid people (with four of our own) but this was not ideal for our now two teenagers and two 20+ year olds hoping for more than 5 and a half hours of sleep. Yes, we knew there was a family with a young child above and were willing to risk some crying (which we only heard once) but never thought that there wouldn’t be any noise consideration for paying guests in the wee hours of the morning over the weekend.

Two nights in Victoria

The location worked perfectly for us. Close to the centre of town, but beside a big park. The entrance to the suite is unusual. I felt like Gandalf entering a Hobbit house. The kids' playhouse under the stairs added to this impression. But inside was clean and organized. Everything worked. These folks take a keen interest in design which shows in the furniture and the cool (and sensible) bathroom door. And when one of us left his sunglasses behind, they sent them to us promptly by mail. (Much gratitude.)

Great location, cute design!

This was such a great surprise-find next to Beacon-Hill park! It was our first time in Victoria and our hosts were more than helpful for anything and everything we could want/need. We were welcomed with coffee and fruits as well as a baby cot and high chair (and a few toys!) The little play area under the stairs was a real hoot, and the kiddos LOVED it! The two bedroom were the perfect size and the design touches were top-notch (even organic soaps, etc.), these were all deeply appreciated. The basement flat was a bit humid, but the hosts have installed a humidifier and air purifier to avoid mold. Just make sure to run the fan when you shower to keep the moisture low. The location was superb- we were able to both park our car on the street and walk to nearby attractions and see the beautiful Beacon Hill Park a few times with the kids. Overall, this was a great stay and great hosts!

Beautiful home in Victoria’s best neighbourhood!

We came over for the weekend to move our son into his new off campus house. We arrived late after a day of travelling and moving and fortunately the access to the unit was simple and we were happy to be greeted with a nice note, fresh banana bread, coffee, and even a bottle of wine (which we definitely enjoyed). The home itself was tastefully decorated, clean, well equipped and the location could not be better. We woke up every morning and strolled over to Cook street to get a coffee and then wandered our way down to Dallas Road for a walk along the water and through Beacon Hill Park on our way home. It was hard to leave this fantastic spot. We will definitely be back on our next trip through Victoria!
