1.7 Acres Beautiful waterfront house near downtown and UVIC

Overall place was okay. Ideas to make things better. 1. There were no staff or contact numbers available to help and answer questions. 2. No descrption of where bedrooms and sleeping couches were. 3. The tv controller was missing so could not watch. 4. We had to search closets for bedding. 5. Didn't find the thermostat controls until next morning. These and other minor problems could be avoided if the was a printed orientation guide for all facilities.

Beautiful views in prime location. It was clean. Host responded by VRBO app. Lawn mowed but large lot and former extensive gardens mostly neglected and overgrown. Spacious house well lived in. Kitchen very worn. But it all worked. Generous supplies. 4 queen beds, we used 2 of them. No shoes in house rule. Some nice Asian furnishings some a bit delicate, other furniture not any discernible style and well worn. Plaque on door reads "April Cottage" but it is not a cottage it is a very big house. If you need space and are not expecting luxury it might work for you for up to 8 adults. There was a crib. 3 bathrooms, but none en suite. Upstairs bathtub too slippery to safely shower, downstairs one had walk in tub, the other was normal shower but not close to bedrooms.
