About this house rental
A home away from home, a tranquil haven for relaxing and noticing nature and wildlife at its finest with spectacular 180° oceanfront views. You can relax in the hot tub or enjoy the spacious sunroom. It is a quiet retreat, a romantic getaway, or a fabulous family vacation. The living area offered is over 2400 sq. ft. with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a large living room, dining room, sunroom, and spacious kitchen. The basic rate is for five people, (including adults and kids). Extra charge for 6th person. It is not rented for non-registered visitors to visit or to be on the property at any time. No pets.
Our comfortable west coast waterfront character home is located at the end of a quiet narrow lane 15 min. from downtown Victoria but has a country feel. Public stairs down to the rocky sandy beach are steps away, great for families. Many beaches are nearby.
Relax in a hot tub. Gaze at ocean waves, clouds, birds, herons, eagles, otters, kayakers, paddle boarders, boats drifting by, colourful sunrises over the ocean, stars at night, and moonrises. It seems you are on top of the world. There’s a wide sand bar in front of our oceanfront house at very low tide in the summer. Check out our video of views at sunset.
This home's old world charm includes in-laid oak flooring throughout with fine architectural details, such as special crown moldings and leaded glass entrance doors, vintage style. From the main rooms, you have a 180° view of the ocean. The house is built on rock overlooking the sea, incredible beauty and wildlife.
Our property is fenced, young children need close supervision. Rather than a lawn surrounding the house, we have a long oceanfront concrete patio and flower borders, outdoor chairs and a table overlooking spectacular ocean views for you to enjoy. The lower wooden deck and stairs are unavailable.
The large, but cozy, living room and dining room are filled with picture windows providing abundant light. We hope you enjoy our piano, collection of antiques, vintage and modern furniture, colourful landscape art, local First Nations nature art, and photographs of places and art around the world.
Cable TV in living room and the main floor bedroom. Internet in the house. On the main floor there is a bedroom with a queen size bed and furniture that suits the old style of the house. Next to it is a small bathroom with a shower, toilet and sink. Upstairs features a very spacious bedroom, with a queen bed, a twin bed and a juliet balcony overlooking the ocean. Jetted jacuzzi tub and shower, toilet sink is also upstairs. Across the hall there is a bedroom with a double bed.
Within 2 km are two golf courses. Nearby is the Lochside trail, excellent for cycling long distances or jogging in a country setting. Also enjoy Rithits Bog, OuterBridge Park, Beaver/Elk Lake Park, Mount Douglas Park all very close by.
A short 15 min. drive northwest are the famous Butchart Gardens, Butterfly World and Wineries. We are within 20 to 25 min. from the airport and the BC Ferries.
It is not rented for events or parties, nor for non-registered guests to visit or park at any time, as we are in a very quiet neighbourhood with no off-site parking on the lane available. Parking on-site for SUV and smaller car or on a different street. No smoking and no drugs permitted on property. No pets.
**As required by local bylaws and BC bylaws, owner stays at one end of the property, separated from the rental area with a separate entrance, and is respectful of guest privacy.

Your Beautiful Home
Overall, we have had a magical stay at your place. It was so nice to be able share Cordova Bay and all our memories with my children. Now they have their own memories of this special place. We just loved everything about this house and hope to make this visit a tradition. I can't express to you enough what a wonderful time the family had staying at your beautiful home. My daughter had a school assignment to draw a picture of her current dream. I am attaching a picture of it for you to see. Thank you for checking in. I really hope that we can arrange another visit to Cordova Bay in the near future." (S.N. ) "I can't tell you how much each and everyone of us loved our time at your home in Cordova Bay. We had so many special adventures, wonderful family evenings in the living room, great fun creating delicious family meals in your huge kitchen, and so much more. We are already talking of a return visit. " Kathy T. (S.N's Mom) Hawaii and Portland,
What an Amazing Property
Our family traveled to Vancouver Island from 6/17-6/20/15. From the first contact I made with Donna about renting this beautiful home she was very prompt in replying and it remained that way whenever I had a question, very quick to reply! We LOVED this house. It was beautifully located, access to the beach below was easy and the views were stunning. Donna emailed during the week as well to make sure things were good. We would highly recommend renting this house for every reason. Thanks Donna. We would definitely rent this home again if we make it back to Vancouver Is. Drew McLaren
Perfect Place for a Family or Couple
Our family stays in Victoria for about 3 weeks each summer. This is our 3rd rental house and our favorite by far! The pictures are accurate, but my favorite view is the ocean from the master bedroom. Our favourite room is the sun room where we found ourselves almost every night. The house is in a very quiet location so, while you are close to everything (shopping, groceries, a couple nice restaurants....) you feel so peaceful and 'away from it all'. Morning walks on the beach are wonderful Bring your water shoes! There are walking/biking trails close too. We found the owner to be very nice and responsive -- not intrusive at all. We are renting the house again for summer 2014 -- I am really looking forward to my early morning coffee while sitting outside and watching the ocean. One day I hope to visit in the Fall just to enjoy the scenery and relax. Perfect! Lisa K.
We had an absolutely wonderful time. The place was spotlessly clean, and the pictures just don't do it justice. We spent so much time just sitting in the living room enjoying the view, and cooking in the expansive kitchen. The sunroom is also a gem. The access to the beach is fantastic, and going out at low tide is great. On one of the quietest little streets I could imagine, almost really a country road just off the main road. Fantastic! Ian F…

It is a truth universally acknowledged that one in want of rest must find a place most charming—and here, dear reader, we did just that.Perched upon the sparkling edge of Vancouver Island, this lovely home welcomed us with warmth, comfort, and views so splendid they would make even the most composed lady sigh with delight. The sea, ever-changing and always enchanting, was our constant companion—morning, noon, and starlit night.The house itself is a model of tasteful simplicity, with every convenience thoughtfully provided—as though our hosts possessed a most admirable talent for hospitality without intrusion.We strolled, we sipped, we stared dreamily at the waves. In short, we were restored.To leave was a sorrow. To return? A hope most ardent.

Our family of five adults spent four nights in this very captivating home on a quiet waterfront property. Views of Cardova Bay were wonderful. This spacious house is cozy with many lovely vintage pieces. Although we took a break from cooking, the kitchen was well outfitted and was stocked with spices, cooking oil etc. There were many rooms including a sun room to sit as a group or individually. Linens and towels were plentiful and the beds were good. Thank you Donna for sharing this lovely home.

Lovely well-maintained house in a beautiful, quiet location on spectacular Victoria. Very close to location of Ironman 70.3 Victoria, so quite convenient for our purposes.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Aug 2022
Hot tub and view were super, but having the owner living steps away full time was a little strange for us. Parking was an issue each day due to configuration and the owner not wanting more than a car in her shared driveway.
House owner barked at us for having 3 cars in the driveway right after we arrived from the airport
Wi fi is the worst we have had in any rental ever
Shower rack sits on the shower floor and falls
Primary bedroom 4 guests does not connect to a bathroom
Unsafe and awful lack of lighting in and outside of the house
Primary bedroom has. I closets to hang clothes
No overhead ceiling cans in most areas / dingy old lamps with low lighting
No basic kitchen condiments like honey for tea in cabinets
Owners living in the other part of the same house
No tv in primary bedroom
Undersized tv in living room resting so low no one can see it
Major lack of tissue boxes in the house
2 outlets in the living room are not working
