Private large up to 3 bedrooms waterfront suite,pet friendly. *Long Term Rates

Located in the marina district of a quiet executive neighbourhood, this waterfront 1,600sq ft, 2 bedroom tidal oceanfront suite overlooks a very secluded national migratory bird estuary all from your covered deck and is a great base for seeing all of the attractions of the peninsula and Victoria. There is an option for an 3rd king bedroom suite included with 5th/6th guest (additional charge of $95 per night 4 guests or under per room). Additional cleaning charge of $50.

As you enter through your private entrance, there is a spacious living area with 42” cable and wifi TV. The garden queen bedroom is on the left. From there you pass the ocean view queen bedroom onto the open design kitchen, dining area, bathroom and second TV area that overlooks a private 600’ covered patio with views into the 1/2 acre woodlands and onto views of the waterfront. We provide linens, towels, soaps, shampoos and some teas and coffee.

Shops and restaurants in Sidney is less than a 5 minute car ride or walk thru the National Park, nature parks and flat trails to town. Major attractions are close including Butchard Gardens. Sidney is known for great events and shows including Thursday night street summer markets, Weekend concerts on the beach, glass beach and the many independent shops. Minutes from the BC ferry, USA ferry and Victoria airport.

Please talk to us about bringing your pet as we welcome the whole gang!

Scott and the boys welcome you to come and relax and enjoy the island from the Tsehum harbour.

Beautiful location

Beautiful location, close to both nature and downtown Sydney at the same time. The extra bedroom has its own entrance. This was nice to have when having people that may want a bit more privacy or that have a different wake/bedtime than the group. We would definitely stay again.

An Oasis near the Sea

Whether you enjoy bird watching, (the blue herons nesting) cycling, golfing, hiking or just enjoying the oceanside walks, this location is incredible. Close to Sidney and the ferries and also drivable to anywhere on the Island. We stayed for an entire month! We had family visitors on two occasions. In fact, we booked the third bedroom for one stay and had lots of room for all of us. Highly recommend it! We hope to return sometime.

Island stay

We enjoyed our stay in the area and were happy with the amount of space we had. But the foot traffic overhead was quite loud. The igloo outside looked fun, but it was too dirty to use. There were clothes left behind from prior guests and a lot of dust under the beds. The hosts were great and easy to communicate with. Everything worked well and the rest of the place was clean.
