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.

Perfect stay
The apartment is nicely furnished and decorated and very well thought out. We enjoyed the garden, the easy walk to downtown and the quiet of the area. It is a beautiful place and our hosts were great. Sandy even placed a bouquet of flowers in the apartment for us because it was our anniversary. We will return and gladly recommend it to others.

Everything anyone could want in a guest suite.
The suite was extremely comfortable. The owners clearly have the comfort of guest in mind as they provide hooks for rain gear and spare unbrellas by the door, a comforter for napping, ample linens, a well equipped kitchen, and a shoe wrack and hooks near a heater for drying. It's these small things, in combination with proximity to shopping and the seaside, that make this guest suite stand out. I would definitely stay here again.

Vance's Review of Lovely Property and Hosts
I truly enjoyed my stay in the lovely and comfortable studio apartment! The amenities were exceptional and the host was welcoming and accommodating. They made my stay a pleasure and provided a terrific home base from which to conduct family business and spend quality time with my loved ones. A huge thank you to Tony and Sandy for a wonderful stay. I will highly recommend this property to friends and family and plan to book it for my next visit to Sidney. Grateful, Vance

Hidden Gem
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!!

Sweet little Suite!
This was one sweet little suite in Sidney, BC! I stayed there over the Christmas holidays and it was really a great experience. It started with the home backed sweets that the owners left for me and the TV turned on to the 'fire log' channel! It is new, clean and a great design and use of space. It is three blocks from main street and well situated. It was warm and comfortable and the owners were great to deal with. I would definitely stay there again if I was back in Sidney.

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.

This is a wonderful place to stay. It has everything in the suite that one needs and the description and pictures shown were entirely accurate. The suite was excellently maintained and very clean. Sandra and Tony were excellent hosts and made sure we had everything we needed. The bonus was the suite's location as once here we didn't really need the car unless one wanted to go farther afield than Sydney. The bus to Victoria and the ferry is easily accessible. Thanks so much for an enjoyable stay!

Charming and quiet
Our time here was very restful and calming. The suite was fresh, nicely decorated and quite charming. The bed was extremely comfortable. Our hosts went out of their way to help with anything that they could such as tips on sights, providing us with maps and ferry information. They were ever so kind to print us up a map for the best way back to the mainland and then to SeaTac airport. Sydney is a wonderful quiet and charming village with everything within easy walking distance. You will have a wonderful time!

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.

Wonderful!
We have now stayed at 5 vrbo-type properties in the Sidney area in the past 4 months, and this was by far the best. It's in downtown Sidney, and within walking distance of the US ferry terminal. Tony is a great host - friendly, helpful and very responsive. The apartment has a fully equipped kitchen, a full bath, a very comfortable bed, and was honestly great value for money. For our next trip to Sidney, we will contact Tony first and hope we'll be able to stay here again. Even in January, btw, there's lots to do around here - walking, hiking and biking, oh and the choices for cider, beer and wine tasting (Farmer's Daughter or Deep Cove Winery for example) and food (The Chalet or Fickle Fig or Melinda's Biscotti for example) in Sidney are excellent. Sidney itself is a charming little town too, with lots of individual shops and very friendly locals. Can't wait to return!

Comfortable stay for two; Excellent location.
We two stayed for several nights and had a wonderful time! LOCATION: Outstanding. 2 blocks to downtown Sidney, 2 blocks to the ferry terminal (to the US), 3 blocks to the bus stop ($2.50 for a 30 minute ride to downtown Victoria). HOSTS: Outstanding. Gracious, helpful, friendly, and with excellent timing. FACILITIES: Excellent - a nice value. Basement apt of the hosts, but very quiet. Bed was very comfortable. Though I didn't like the springiness of the head pillows, my wife did. Well-stocked kitchen - we made an excellent dinner from fresh clams purchased in Sidney together with tomatoes and veggies purchased at an organic farm. Other than at night, we didn't spend much time at the apt. There was much to see nearby and in Victoria.

Could have been better
The suite is an adequate size for two people with a large, well-equipted kitchen, decent living room, and small bedroom area. Two factors to be aware of: noise and location. The house is in the flight path of Victoria International Airport so we never slept later than 6:05 am when the first plane flew over. Also, being in the basement, one is always aware when people are in the room overhead as the sound of voices carries down. We also encountered a "mystery noise" whose origin we never determined. Sounded like a steamroller running repeatedly pver the ceiling of the suite; perhaps furniture being pushed back and forth for hours?? We were going to eat dinner in the kitchen one evening but ended up going out to a restaurant because we couldn't stand the racket above any longer. And as to the location of the suite, I knew it was at the back of the house. But I didn't realize reaching the door meant crunching down a gravel driveway at night in the dark which is not easy for someone awaiting a knee replacement.

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.
