Cupid's Pearl Tranquil Retreat by the Sea.
For any who are seeking a great place to stay in Victoria's Colwood area, look no further! This is the place! It had everything I needed for a perfect stay ... and more! Duncan and Vi keep house and gardens in immaculate condition. I would be back in a heartbeat!

Apartment on the dock in Cowichan Bay
Such a cute, cozy and well stocked place. Had a wonderful time relaxing and just enjoying the space and surrounding scenery. This was a staycation weekend for me and I would 100% love to come back.

Tuck Inn @ Shawnigan Beach Resort
Thoughtfully furnished and comfortable- would love to stay again!

Downtown-Waterfront studio 3beds
We had a fantastic stay! Location was unbeatable and we could walk absolutely everywhere we wanted to go. The host was fantastic and very accommodating! We had to sign paperwork to comply with local laws, but all turned out as I needed. Would recommend and would definitely stay again!

Quiet place with a beautiful view of Shawnigan Lake. The suite was very comfortable and clean. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

River front near Potholes/ Galloping Goose Trail
Such an incredible place to stay. Was so much more than we expected and felt so much peace. Will have to come back again. The view of the river was wonderful and it was such a cozy stay! Thank you so much!

Waterfront Home! Newly Remodeled! (weow)
The house and surrounding area were beautiful. The pictures don't do it justice. We sat outside and watched the wildlife every morning. Would definitely recommend it and stay there again. Just the view is worth the cost. I'd say the place was a little dusty considering the cleaning fee you pay. Also, the bed in the room we stayed in (not the main bedroom) was very uncomfortable and I had issues with my back after the second night. I'd defilingly recommend they replace their towels as the ones provided were way past their useful life. Otherwise we had a great time and it was a wonderful space to come back to at the end of the day.

Private Oceanfront House & Cottage w/ Hot Tubs!
We had a great family holiday in Sooke. 9 adults and 1 toddler. Close enough to go into Victoria! (Even by e-bike!!) Spent some time on the Galloping Goose and exploring East Sooke Regional Park. We spent some time on the water and in the nice big hot. The beds were all very comfortable!

Full sun lake front. Private dock and hot tub
Beautiful and convenient location for our Victoria trip. Lake view and private dock was a bonus. We went during Thanksgiving so we appreciated the view and hot tub. Only complaint was the very limited cooking pans and pots

Luxury Oceanfront House - The Cove at Otter Point
Mary-Lou's home is beautiful , very tastefully decorated with many thoughtful touches . Its a great space and easily accommodated us , our 3 kids and their young families . The kitchen was very well appointed , everything a chef could want . It was so well organized plus Mary Lou had allowed us the use of her cooking oils and spices etc . The views from the house are absolutely stunning , mountains , ocean and the opportunity to view the sea life . A car is necessary but the town is only a short drive away and it's close to many beautiful hiking trails Mary Lou had kindly put a Christmas tree up and left us some welcome gifts. She's a very thoughtful and accommodating host and was easy to contact Thank you Mary Lou we thoroughly enjoyed our stay

Luxurious Designer Garden Oasis near UVIC & Beach
We had a fantastic stay. It was really a comfortable space with a lot of amenities. There was tons of room to spread out and it felt like home.

Freedom To Fly
We had a great stay at Christine’s place! A beautiful house and view. Very peaceful area. Christine was friendly and always quick to respond. We would love to stay here again.

West House 3 bedroom home shawnigan lake hot tub
This home and the views are stunning! The weather was cool and damp during our stay, so the outdoor firepit was perfect to keep us warm while we relaxed in the yard with our dogs. And the hot tub and indoor fireplace made for a cozy/relaxing weekend! The inside was equipped with basically everything we needed, and the layout was great for a little group of friends/family. Allison and Sean were wonderful hosts - so quick and easy to communicate with, and they even brought us more firewood shortly after we arrived. We would highly recommend this place to anyone! Thank you for everything Allison & Sean :)
Waterfront condo accommodation

2bdm-sleeps6 Condo Victoria WM Resort#
A fabulous place to stay on the waterfront in Victoria. Everything was just as the pictures and as described. It had everything you could need & amazing views. We loved being so close to Fisherman’s wharf with the restaurants and watching the seals, floatplanes, all sorts of things going on in the harbour. A great walk into the city centre too along the waterfront or to the coast in the other direction. We would definitely stay here again if coming back to Victoria.

The Library - Luxe Chic Suite | Heart of Downtown
Cute place at a real convenient location

Miraloma
This was the perfect space for our family. The open layout and balcony were wonderful. The unit stayed cool on the hot days. The underground parking was very convenient. One note: It is definitely more suited for a couple than family. It is clearly advertised as a one bedroom, but the bed for the 5th person being a single mattress on the floor was a bit of a surprise.

2bdm - Condo-Victoria Fisherman's Wharf7
Highly recommend! We stayed here as 5 adult siblings for 4 days. Check in was easy, plenty of parking (even with my large truck), exactly as described, beds were comfy, even the Murphy bed in the wall. View of the bay and sea planes, walkable to everything. Shower pressure was great and plenty of hot water to go around for the 5 of us. We had a wonderful time!

Soulful Harbor Getaway (Top floor, king studio!)
Amazing place to stay in Victoria! Great view of the city and Olympic Mountains in the background, walkable to everything, the place itself had everything we needed. 10/10 would recommend.

Spectacular Waterfront Executive Suite!
Excellent. Super clean and beautiful views. Host was responsive and Sandy the cohost is amazing. Seriously this place is the best in Victoria if you want something classy clean and close to everything. I highly recommend this Airbnb. A++

The Ivy - Lux Executive Suite | Heart of Downtown
Clean and fun condo. Great location in the middle of downtown and nightlife. Lots of great restaurants. Tim was good to communicate with everything went smoothly. The apartment reminds me of a Paris flat a little bit, only with better plumbing!
