A peaceful spot for a gathering of friends
Zoe was very communicative, property was very clean and well cared for. Plenty of space for all 8 of us. Not far from Sydney at all. While you cannot access the beach from the property, there are a few public access points nearby. Make sure to consult a tide chart before going because there is not much beach at high tide at all. Note: The ferry terminal is very near this property. If you are a light sleeper, the rumbling of the boats might keep you up. On the other hand, it might lull you to sleep.

Just what we wanted
It asks for ages, and saying adults, is not quite correct. We are a group of senior ladies (72-86), who get together for our yearly getaway. This year there were 8 of us. A beautiful place to be, in Sydney. An ever changing waterfront ,view, was ours for our 4 day stay. Had all we could want. Walking paths in the bushes, everywhere, which we enjoyed each day!! Large table, in kitchen, where we could play board games/cards!! Cooked all our meals, in the well stocked kitchen, as we are “ old school”. We hope to return next year, as it was all we could ask for!!!

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.

Family Trip to Vancouver Island
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this home. Everything was spotless, and the check-in process was effortless. The home was well-stocked with all the essentials, making our stay comfortable and worry-free. The host was communicative, ensuring that our experience was seamless from start to finish. Vancouver Island is truly a breathtaking destination, and this home’s location made it even more special. We filled our days with exciting excursions, delicious food, and the beauty of the local wildlife, all within a welcoming and vibrant community. We’re incredibly grateful for our stay and would highly recommend this place to others.

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.

Amazing home, beautiful.
We were a group of six 30+ women who stayed together for several days to enjoy eachother's company and have a nice place by the water to relax and from which to do day trips. The place itself was absolutely beautiful and had so much character. It was huge and it was so nice to have a lot of space. The kitchen was well-stocked and everything was very clean. We loved the solarium and saw a pod of 7 orcas thanks to the conveniently placed binoculars! We also used the karaoke room, so fun though you need to download an app or use youtube. It was very close to the ferry terminal, which is convenient if you plan on using them. The ferries were a bit loud in the morning, but that is to be expected. There are some nice local trails and lookouts to explore in North Sannich, and it was very close to the airport, Sidney, Butchart Gardens, and I'm sure a lot of other great amenities. It is about a 35 minute drive to Victoria which was great. Totally recommend, what a lovely place and accomodating host. Thank you!

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.

Such a wonderful experience!
Zoe’s place is beyond amazing, and our family of 8 (1 fur baby) had such a wonderful time staying there! The house is clean, spacious and very cozy. There are so many thoughtful touches that make the house homey. And we loved how the unique designs in every room come together perfectly; you can really tell that Zoe had put in so much effort to make this home comfortable and welcoming. It was such a relaxed and comfortable stay, and we enjoyed every little detail this home has to offer. The beautiful sunset from the solarian, morning coffees together on the patio overlooking the ferry, and family time in the karaoke room… It was a therapeutic trip for all of us and we will definitely be coming back here again 😊

Awesome Sibling Vacation
This house met all our needs for 7 people. The back patio was excellent to drink coffee, watch the ferries come and go, and we even had a doe and two fawns in the yard! It was very nice to have two kitchen areas with coffee makers. There were plenty of cups, glasses, silverware and plates. It was very quiet and relaxing after a couple days of walking around Butchart Gardens, the Butterfly Garden, Fisherman’s Wharf and Craigdarroch Castle. We would stay here again!

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.
