Wonderful vacation

The house was wonderful and right on the water. It has a sunroom with a beautiful ocean view. We thought being next to the ferries would be a drawback but it didn’t bother us at all. It was a great family vacation.

Oasis on the ocean

A beautiful home to spend time with family after celebrating a family wedding. We loved watching the ferry and boats outside our window and there was so much room for us eight adults to enjoy. It had everything we needed and I would love to stay there again.

Perfect family holiday

We had a wonderful family holiday with my 87 year old parents. The house was perfect for the 10 of us with lots of space for gathering, but also enough space to spread out and get quite time. The location is stunning, and ferry watching was daily activity.

Zoe is a very conscientious host, promptly responding to issues and questions. The interior is dated but fairly comfortable though there is a shortage of seating if you are more than 6 people so we brought up dining chairs from the lower floor. It is very difficult to find a place with at least 4 bedrooms that is dog-accepting so this worked out for us. Be aware, however, that the property only has fencing down the sides and a bit of a barrier at the bottom of the yard above a cliff. The yard is not secured so dogs or children could easily get out onto the street. We saw a deer, bunnies, a turkey vulture (eating one of the bunnies!), and many ferries.

Family reunion - pets included!

The close proximity to ferries and the airport made it easy for the family members traveling to the Island. The views were amazing and enjoyed watching the ferry traffic. The house had plenty of room for everyone to move around and the 2nd kitchen came in handy when making dinners for 9.

Perfect Family Vacation Home

From the very onset of communication Zoe was a top tier Host! There is nothing that we could’ve imagined or wanted for that she did not already provide! To be honest, we are EXTREMELY picky .. having been a VEBO Host family for years with a similarly sized home on the ocean in Fla. FIVE STARS all around because this home exceeded our expectations on every level. The views are GORGEOUS- the comfort of the furnishings and layout are perfect for hosting a large multi generational family. With a toddler grandbaby the first floor bedroom, lounge and second kitchen and dining area were PERFECTION! Zoe has the home well stocked with anything you’ll need and things you didn’t know you’ll need! It has been our utmost pleasure staying in her Victoria home!! Thank you for being such an extraordinary hostess!!
