Scenery and Serenity - Delight in your holiday retreat

Are you interested in a peaceful place with fabulous views to retreat to after the bustle of the city? Great location near Esquimalt Lagoon and Royal Bay seaside parks, Pearson College of the Pacific, Royal Roads University, Galloping Goose hiking and biking trail, as well as many shopping opportunities from box stores to quaint neighbourhood bistros. Downtown Victoria is accessible by bus or car in an easy 30 minute drive and the bus stop is a short walk away. Many sports opportunities are available from fishing (lake or ocean), golfing (Royal Colwood and Olympic View Golf Clubs are 5 minutes away, Highland Pacific and Bear Mountain Golf Resort are 15 minutes away), as well as hiking and biking. The community is home to many Canadian sports development centres - tennis, golf, rugby, biking, rowing to name a few.

All the comforts of home are available with a well equipped kitchen with BBQ available, as well as washer and dryer and dishwasher, cable TV and a dedicated study area for any school or work related commitments. Bright sunny rooms with 9 foot ceilings and expansive windows give a marvelous view over the water to Victoria. Please no smoking and no pets in the suite or on the premises.

Beautiful view!
I had a great stay at Ruth's! This is a spacious suite with a beautiful view! I loved the thoughtful gift basket with Ruth's own homemade goodies plus wine. I did see Ruth in passing but not long enough for a proper conversation. Minimal to no noise transfer and always perfect quiet times for sleep. I did notice a few spiders but there were insect traps in all corners. The kitchen is fully stocked and there is extra bedding, towels and blankets if needed. There was a second bedroom with a single bed that I did not need or use. This vrbo is excellent and I would recommend it!
