Cozy Carriage House
About this house rental
Situated in Oak Bay, this charming house for $104 per night is a great option for your next trip. Welcome to the Cozy Carriage House! We hope you enjoy your stay here. We travel a great deal ourselves, so we have tried to make this space into somewhere we would like to stay. This warm and modern space is yours to enjoy after experiencing all that Victoria has to offer. Relax with a glass of wine, cook, or relax in our comfy bed with some Netflix. COFFEE, TEA, and EXTRAS There's coffee and tea in the red canisters. The coffee is a nice variety, and is good when it's made in the little French press. There is black tea in sealed sachets in the large canister, and the unlabelled bags in the small canister are lemon herbal tea. There is also green tea in the cupboard. Below the element (next to the fridge) there is an electric kettle. The milk in the fridge is always fresh, and the water bottles are complimentary. Help yourself to whatever snack is on the premises – we try to provide some small granola bars, nuts, or similar, in case you arrive late and feel undernourished…! CLIMATE CONTROL Should you feel chilly, there is an extra blanket in the closet, and there's a white heater console on the wall between the fridge and bed. It is pretty self-explanatory, and it heats up quickly. Temperatures are in Celsius (65℉ = 18℃, 72℉ = 22℃, etc…). All we ask is that you don't run the heater and leave the windows open at the same time! (You would be surprised how often this happens?!) If you are hot, it does usually cool down significantly at night here (no matter the season) but if leaving the windows open is not sufficient, there is also a fan in the closet. IN THE AREA At the intersection of Foul Bay and Neil (a 5-minute walk) there is a little cluster of shops, including a small grocery, a cafe/coffee shop (Caffé Misto), a pizza place, and a deli. The deli, Charelli's, has an amazing selection of cheeses and meats and various imported treats. You can get fresh sandwiches made from their supplies at any time, and on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday there's a take-out window where they make delicious hot sandwiches. In the other direction, just past Hillside & Shelbourne (15 minutes' walk), is a mall and commercial area with a supermarket (Thrifty Foods), liquor store, fast food, shopping, etc.

This beautiful, bright,well equipped, super clean cottage was such a wonderful place to stay.
Away from the hustle and bustle,tucked way in a zen like corner,yet close to amenities.
Super comfortable bed, nice size shower and so bright and cheerful.
The owners are so easy to communicate with and lovely.
We will definitely be back !!

The cottage is very quaint and perfect for a couple or single traveller. The location is great and very accessible to the University and an easy drive to downtown.
Unfortunately we did have a couple of issues, the bathroom sink did not drain properly. I had to use the plunger to get it to empty which was unpleasant. The French Press leaked and made a mess all over the counter, once I realized this I had to put a plate underneath it. Finally the quality of the towels was not good, they are very old and scratchy. Definitely need to be replaced.

Although small, this is a lovely cosy place for 1-2 people. It was great that I could bring my dog. I had no issues during my stay here. Matt is a great communicator.

Very clean and cozy. Cute neighborhood. Owner communicated clearly. We got to meet a local deer as we got into our car. 😀 The full-size bed a was a bit small for two…was expecting a queen. Maybe I missed that in the details. The small fridge was fine size-wise, but the ice cream we put in the freezer area was melted by the next day. Could use some sugar in the cabinet. Those are the nit-picks. We really enjoyed our stay and would happily stay again. Thanks!

Overall great experience! Easy to find location. Parking available on the street. Check in was super easy. Comfortable bed, well fitted kitchen and bathroom and location worked out well for me. And it was quiet too!
Worked out well with my dog although there was no grassed yard, we got out into the quiet neighborhood and near by beaches and parks for walks each day.
Only concern if I were being more picky was the cleanliness of the shower walls and doors and the bathroom window caulking (mouldy). Owner is apparently taking care of re-caulking soon. I will definitely stay here again!

Location worked great for getting my son settled in at UVIC. Carriage house is secluded in an endless garden.

When in Victoria we love to stay at the Cozy Carriage House. The location is convenient as it is close to arterial roads. Tucked in the gorgeous garden of the main house, the carriage house is a welcoming oasis. As a meaningful addition our dog is welcome. During this stay there were some incomplete maintenance and cleaning tasks, but this did not take away from the comfort of our stay. We will return!

It was wonderful to stay in a self contained cottage with fresh clean air surrounded by a lovingly tended garden. The suite was bright, attractive, well appointed, and the host was helpful and communicative. Check in was seemless. We would return here again.

The property and location was perfect for us as we were visiting our daughter at UVIC. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting this location.
Our only complaint was that the wrong information was given to us in an email and caused a bit of panic as we thought for a while the property was in the Comox Valley... the manager didn't seem to see the big deal with that and did not offer even an apology. So the place was great but I hope that they are more careful with managing the information they send out to their renters. Thanks for the stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Cozy Cottage. It was well equipped and private. The location is a familiar one to us having lived in the area many years ago. A short walk down the hill to Allenby Cafe, Canarvon Park or up the road to UVIc.

Suite is within walking distance to coffee shop and deli. Well set up for cooking meals. Suite would benefit from a few minor repairs and a bit more attention to cleaning. Didn’t expect to need to clean fridge on arriving. Would be helpful to have instructions in suite for turning on heat. Suite manager did not respond to our message left on their contact number requesting help with heat.

The cottage had everything we needed but it is just one room with a double bed so be prepared if two guests prefer space to spread out. The location is great and we would stay again.

The cozy cottage is set in a pretty garden, within a nice residential neighbourhood, lovely for dog walks. The space is well organized and the bathroom is very efficient. The kitchen is unusually well equipped and we were able to easily cook all of our meals. The cottage was clean, and met all our needs. We had a couple of questions which our host answered quickly. We highly recommend.
