Feel at home, a few blocks from downtown Sidney and beach

Snow birds and travelers who want a quiet self contained suite! Our spacious and completely outfitted guest accommodation will feel like home away from home. It's in a prime location within one block of the beach and the main street of the quaint town of Sidney. Our large studio suite contains new quality contemporary furniture and has a good quality sofa bed for one extra person if needed. You will love the new comfortable bed and recliner chair while you watch your 40 inch flat screen TV. The bed area is partitioned off with curtains if desired.

The full kitchen has everything you need but if you don't feel like cooking there are a variety of restaurants and coffee shops a short walk away. The suite has a full bathroom and includes a washer and dryer for your convenience. Our Arts and Crafts home is close to the Sidney-Anacortes ferry terminal, BC Ferries and the Victoria airport. The famous Butchart Gardens is close by and the beautiful city of Victoria is within a short drive or bus ride. You will be welcome to enjoy our small garden patio if you wish, some steps to the suite entrance are required.
You will love this self contained, self catered, private guest suite that is a comfortable vacation home perfect for short or longer stays.

Sidney Wedding
We were in Sidney for a family wedding and decided to extend our holiday for a few more days. We were very happy with this choice as it had everything we needed and was very comfortable. It is a basement suite however there was lots of light and the cooler space was appreciated during the hot summer days. Our son also joined us for 2 nights and used the sofa hide-a-bed. We'd highly recommend this property to others.

A delightful suite in a perfect location!
A great spot! The suite is clean, really well equipped and beautifully located near the waterfront and all the shops and cafés of Sidney. Tony and Sandy give you your privacy but are easily reached and happy to help with anything you may need. I'd love to stay again and hope they have space when I'm next in Sidney.

Comfortable studio suite close to the Sidney ocean walkway. Quiet. Nice to have laundry in the suite. Everything we needed to cook our own meals, though a barbecue for the suite would be a nice addition. Beautiful backyard. We would happily stay here again.

Home away from home
We stayed for five nights. The suite was so comfortable and had absolutely everything we needed - comfy beds, full kitchen, laundry, and a beautiful yard. We were only a couple of blocks from the waterfront and the lovely shops on mainstreet. We had a rental car so we used Sidney as our home base and made day trips to all the different sights we wanted to take in. Also, the airport is only 10 minutes away. Thank you to our hosts, we will stay again!

This petite basement suite has everything a couple needs to live independently. The house is within walking distance of all of life's necessities: 3 grocery stores, a reasonably priced gym, Starbuck’s, Tim’s, several bookstores, liquor stores, Thrift shops, and buses. The kitchen is well equipped and the washer and dryer work well. What more does anyone need?!!

Sandy and Tony have created a wonderful, comfortable guest apartment with absolutely everything you need for short or longer stay in beautiful Sidney!! The location is perfect for relaxing strolls along the seawall or visiting local shops, restaurants, museums etc. And it's only a short drive into Victoria. Communication was prompt and our hosts were accommodating with every request. We hate to leave!!

Lovely Basement Studio in Sidney
We booked this studio suite for a whole month, it was very clean and had everything that we needed, full well equipped Kitchen, very nice bathroom, very comfortable queen bed with great bedding and Towels. There were even bath robes. It is a basement suite so some stairs to go down to get there but separate entrance and private. There was a good parking place for our car on the driveway. Excellent location in the middle of Sidney most places (shopping, restaurants, coffee shops etc.) are within walking distance and only a block an a half to the seaside. Very close to Victoria Airport and only 10 minutes to the ferry terminal. Tony and Sandy were great to deal with and we would definitely go back if we go to Sidney again.
