About this property

OCEANFRONT SUITE ON WALK ON SANDY BEACH WITH INCREDIBLE VIEWS

Consider this lovely, bright 1 bedroom waterfront suite on a sandy beach in Cordova Bay, Victoria's hidden gem, for a quiet retreat or an active vacation.

This suite is situated at beach level and the living room, dining room and fully equipped kitchen have spectacular views of the water, San Juan island and snow covered Mount Baker in the distance. There are brand new furnishings throughout including a comfortable high quality queen size bed.

If you are an early riser, you can watch spectacular sunrises over the water, either on the covered deck adjacent to your suite, the patio right down at the beach or from the comfort of the living room through the wall to wall windows at the front of the suite. At night, if it is clear, you can watch the moon rise and its shimmering light reflect on the tranquil waters.

The beach is approximately 40 steps from your suite. It is about 1 kilometer in length and at some low tides it is possible to walk a much longer distance along the sand bars.

In addition to the stunning scenery, there are various species of wildlife to encounter including seals, eagles, blue herons, otters, cormorants and deer. On rare occasions we have seen orcas and grey whales in the bay.

Cordova Bay Golf Course, is a 20 minute walk. It is one of best public golf courses in B.C. and is immaculately maintained and an Audubon Certified golf course. There is a nice restaurant and lounge at the golf course. There is also a 9 hole par three golf course maintained by the same grounds crew to similar standards.

There is a pharmacy virtually across the street. Additional shops and services are available at Matticks Farm Market, where you will find a produce Market Adriennes
Restaurant, Liquor Plus and a number of boutique shops. Here you will also find the Tall Tree Integrated Health Centre which provides Physiotherapy, Massage Therapy, Chiropractic, Naturopathic Medicine and Acupuncture services.

The Lochside Trail is easily accessible from our location and you can ride a bike from
Cordova Bay to downtown Victoria along the trail or to the quaint seaside town of Sidney. You can also access the Galloping Goose Trail, and ride for 55 kilometers to the abandoned gold mining town of Leechtown. There are numerous other hiking and biking trails throughout the region that are suitable for various levels of physical fitness.

The suite is the perfect quiet oasis to relax and get away. it is only a 20 minute drive downtown Victoria where there are numerous activities and attractions including
whale watching, fishing, horse drawn carriage rides and fisherman's wharf where you can feed the seals and have lunch on the dock, to name a few.

You can also visit the world famous Empress Hotel, the British
Columbia Legislature, the Royal B.C. Museum and the Art Gallery of Victoria.

The renowned Butchart Gardens, should not be missed and is a 15 minute drive away in the seaside village of Brentwood Bay. In Brentwood Bay, you can also catch the Mill
Ferry across Saanich Inlet to begin your exploration of the rest of Vancouver Island.

We are located approximately 15 to 20 minutes away from the Victoria International Airport and the B.C. Ferries terminal.

Made Us Smile, A Lot!
This property is meant for two persons, and that suited us well. The owners live upstairs - no problem, and they had just the right amount of friendly interaction with us. The property was very neat and clean when we arrived. It was equipped with everything we needed. There were plenty of windows and the views were excellent. The neighborhood was up-scale. The property is on a quiet street. There are good restaurants and shops within a short drive. We would recommend this property for a comfortable and relaxing vacation. Than you, Rainer and Barb, for everything!

The 45th Anniversary Trip
This was our first VRBO and we were very happy with our choice. The pic's made me think it might be a bit on the small size but not the case it is more than enough room for two. It is very quiet and private. With cover from the rain, it was a wonderful place to sit on the porch as well as the patio closer to the beach. Parking was good and not near the street. Everything we could want was there and in very good shape. Would have no problem recommending to a friend if they were wanting​ to visit the area.

The perfect place to relax!
The suite is incredibly close to the water. The beach was both beautiful and walkable; it also had access to a restaurant/cafe several doors down. The amenities were perfect, including kayaks, a grill and a kitchen full of quality cookware. Rainer and Barb are wonderful hosts--thoughtful, attentive and accommodating to the max!

Fabulous.
The beachside location is great and the hosts most hospitable. Couldn't ask for better.

Absolutely the perfect location! I would stay there again.
The picture doesn't do the view justice. It was truly unbelievable. The sunrise and moon over the water were stunning. You can see the view sitting on the couch, from the kitchen & breakfast table, and chairs on a covered, decked patio just off the back of the house (and of course the table with umbrella in the picture which are at the beach edge). At low-tide there are sand bars to walk on; otherwise, you may want shoes because the beach is primarily covered with smooth pebbles. We usually opened the sliding glass door to allow breezes into the house. Even from the couch with the door open you can hear the gentle waves. The house was immaculate and the bed comfortable. A very sweet and helpful couple live in the 2nd story. My husband and I stayed for 7 days, visiting from Atlanta, GA. I can say that with all we saw in and around Victoria, I have no regrets picking this location. My husband was so impressed with the beauty of Cordova Bay, he discussed us one day having a second home there. We would stay there again and certainly recommend it to friends and family.

About the host

Hosted by RAINER LUCAS

Host profile image
We are two professional accountants who have lived in Victoria since 1976 and purchased this property in 1993 when we saw it as we were walking along the beach. Rainer is semi-retired and Barb is the Director of Finance for the Art Gallery of Victoria. Now that our kids are grown and have left home, we have renovated our lower level to create this beautiful suite.
We are both active and enjoy walking, hiking and biking. Rainer is also an avid golfer and pickleball player.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property because it is located at beach level on a sandy beach. Beach level access properties which do not require stairs to get to and from the beach are quite rare in Greater Victoria.
The other thing that attracted us is the proximity of the grocery store, pharmacy, coffee shop, restaurants and golf course. We don't need to get into our car for every little thing.
