The house itself is very nice and has all the basic necessities included. However, it was quite obvious that the owner is handling the cleanings between stays himself — crumbs and general small floor debris; could use a good sweep and mop. The coffee maker was a disaster when we arrived — my father in law took it upon himself to deep clean before using.
Again, the house itself is fantastic! The mattresses are all very very cozy, water pressure is great too!
HOWEVER, discovering a stranger seemingly casing our vehicles in the driveway midway through our stay was quite alarming - especially when it turned out to be the owner Seymour who had apparently been sleeping in the tiny garage outside the front entrance of the house the whole time…
Too creepy, never staying here again.

We had the best start to our time in Canada at this property, it is so convenient for everything on the peninsula, very homely and has everything you would need! The host Seymour is very accommodating and helpful
It’s a fabulous house

Spent 3 nights here- easily accommodated the 7 of us. Had breakfast in the house each day, didn’t need to search for anything we needed- all readily available. Short ride into Victoria.
We had a great time & slept well on the comfy beds.

Clean, Quiet and close to everything. We enjoy visiting Brentwood Bay. Close to family, restaurants and attractions.

Seymour’s house is a comfortable and relaxing stay which is a 15 minute walk to Butchart Gardens (find the shortcut through the woods on Google Maps!) and a short 25 minute drive to Victoria Harbor. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking our own dinners, the beds are comfortable and the back deck is wonderful for morning coffee or evening dinners, and for watching deer and other critters in the back yard. It’s an efficient base for exploring Vancouver Island, as we made drives to Port Renfrew, Sooke, Ladysmith and Duncan. Make sure you try Blue’s Bayou just a short walk down to Brentwood Bay. Grocery and specialty meat (Carnivores) and Seafood market next door to it is just a couple of KM away. We highly recommend Seymour’s property!

It was a very nice time visiting the house. Seymour was super responsive when an issue popped up.
4.0
Communication with the owner was easy and he responded quickly. The property overall was good but it needs some maintenance (ice maker, fireplace not working) and could be cleaner (not swept under couch when hide-a-bed pulled out, etc). The beds were very comfortable and in good shape but the furniture is all worn. The pool table was a nice bonus.
5.0
This house was exactly as the pictures showed. It had everything we needed and it's located on a quiet cul de sac. Seymour was always available to answer any questions. And it's air conditioned! Which was greatly appreciated as it was over 30C (85F) the 4 days we were there.

Great getaway
My husband, my Dad and another couple (close friends) stayed here for a week vacation. It was a fantastic house that we could all visit comfortably but have our own space as well. The kitchen had everything we needed and we made most of our suppers here easily. The pool table and piano were a nice touch. Seymour was easy to communicate with for any issues or questions that came up. The neighborhood was very quiet and beautiful. It acted as a good base camp for our activities around Victoria and up Island. Overall a wonderful place to stay.

Perfect family stay
The house was exactly as shown and the owner had thoughtfully stocked it with everything you might need. Our family of 2 grandparents, 3 adult children and 2 little ones had all the space we needed while attending a wedding at a nearby winery and visiting the sights of Victoria. We would highly recommend it.

Seymour's home was perfect for our week of family exploration. The location was great for being able to explore everything we wanted to from downtown Victoria, to the famous glass beach in Sidney. The views from the decks were stunning, and the house was so spacious it was such a treat and perfect for our young kids to play throughout. For those of you wondering, there is a nice size yard in the back, big enough to play a bit of soccer or frisbee or what not. We will be back!

Friends & Family Gathering Place
Spent 6 weeks in Brentwood Bay with different friends & family coming and going. Home worked well. Kitchen well equipped. Bedrooms spacious with functional closets. Pool table provided hours of entertainment. Host was very good to communicate with. Most everything was labeled and obvious. The home was great in all aspects.

What a very comfortable, family friendly house located just minutes from Butchart Gardens and great food. The kitchen was our central gathering spot, as was the dining room table that doubled as a puzzle and gaming table. Our teens loved the pool table and piano. (Our son loved the Apple TV) On our way home we talked about the need to go back to the same house but this time in the summer and bring our bikes and rent some kayaks in the bay. We also would have made better use of the deck furniture if it hadn't been a bit too cool. Best Thanksgiving week ever.

Close to the gardens
The house was very nice and suited our needs well. Butchart Gardens was the main reason for our trip so being a few blocks away was perfect. We got the annual passes and were able to go over every day and spend some time.
The neighborhood was mostly quiet but was quiet at night which is always important. Overall it was a nice place to stay.

Great stay near Victoria
Our group of 6, 3 couples driving throughout Vancouver Island, stayed at this property and loved it! Comfortable beds, spotless kitchen and bathrooms, and a great porch to relax and put our feet up. We biked to Butchart gardens, and walked to the marina. We wish it was closer to Victoria, but weren't able to find any place closer that would accommodate 3 vehicles. So - this home was perfect for our group and the owner was easy to reach and communicate with!

The house is roomy; we had plenty of space for the 4 of us. It’s a bit farther from Victoria than we expected. But very convenient to Butchart Gardens.

Tranquil & perfectly located
Seymour's Castle in the Sky is a well appointed, perfectly located, tranquil home. He was easy to reach while making our plans and available during our stay if we needed anything. Our walk to breakfast and the Butchart Gardens was easy - great location. The home is very clean and lacks nothing. Just wish we had more time to enjoy it all - we'll be back!

We really enjoyed the location, the privacy, the kitchen, the BBQ and had excellent weather. There were five adults and a noticeable shortage of towels for morning showers was frustrating. The bathtub had a white powder all over it so I assumed it had not been cleaned. (As a result no one used the bath.) My daughters felt there were far too many notes posted everywhere explaining what to do and what not to do. The house manual should have been the place to do that. I suspect some renters don't know what we consider to be obvious things.
