Perfect spot to explore!
We loved the location as it was only 20 minutes to Victoria and 20 minutes to Butchart Gardens. The house was tremendouse and the deer visiting the very morning and evening. I am going to miss my buck so much!! Also, it isn’t in the book, but Costco was just down the street and it is huge!! Thank you so much for this great experience for my senior ladies! They had a beautiful time!

Best VRBO ever!!!
We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful VRBO.. It. was nestled up in the woods, where it was very quiet, and close enough to the stores and restaurants that we needed.. It was equipped with everything in the kitchen upstairs that we needed.. It had plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for everybody, a nice washer and dryer...... Thank you so very much .

Bear Mountain Retreat
A group of 8 senior golfers loved our stay at this property. It had a bedroom and bath for each couple and the views to Victoria were incredible. The kitchen had everything necessary and there were more than enough sitting/TV rooms that everyone could retreat if they wanted. The hot tub was a blessing after golf and the BBQ was clean and ready for our steaks. The location was within 30 minutes of all the golf courses we played, 30 minutes to downtown Victoria and within 15 minutes for groceries and liquor. There were only 3 issues that I would mention to the property manager: 1. the kitchen faucet is loose and needs to be repaired. 2. the lighting in the main bathroom is too dim and needs brighter bulbs. 3. we ran out of paper towels and there were no more on hand. Overall, this property is a gem!

Overall we loved our stay. Some aspects of the house looked a bit rough around the edges for the type of listing (lights burnt out, minor drywall damage). Didn’t overall impact our stay. Loved the hot tub, especially with the northern lights!!

Great location, lots of space
"It was a fantastic stay, with everything conveniently within a 15-minute reach. All ten of us enjoyed a comfortable stay with each person having their own bed. The hot tub was a great addition, although it could have been a bit cleaner. Nevertheless, this minor issue won't impact my overall rating. I would definitely choose to stay here again and highly recommend it. Thanks!"

From the booking to the check-in process to the actual venue was fantastic. The house is large and comfortable with lots of space in a great area. Close to nature and walks. Even in the pouring rain of our weekend the house was warm and inviting with lots of windows and wonderful spaces, bedrooms, hot tub, appliances, etc. I highly recommend it!

Great house; nice views; management was excellent; attention to cleanliness and maintenance needed
The location of the house was quiet and convenient and the views were beautiful from the balcony. The house had a lot of room and we were all very happy that there was so much space. There were a couple of issues with our stay, the toilet in the main bathroom did not work and the shower in the same bathroom did not drain. When we preheated the oven to make food for our group, the bottom was thick with whatever was made in there prior to our trip and it smoked out the entire upper floor pretty badly, enough to make all of us stand outside for a while and it definitely ruined a bunch of our food that we had tried to make. I ended up putting the oven on self-clean so that we could use it. The fire alarms did not go off although we did make sure they were there. There were pieces of broken glass on a counter in the master bath and also glass bits on the main balcony (neither balcony was very clean when we arrived) There was one coffee filter for the coffee pot on a three night stay, so be sure to bring your own. Our host immediately called a plumber for us who was then set up to come the second day. He did not show up until the third day when he let our host know that a new toilet was needed, and installation required major work which we chose not to have done as it was already the day before we checked out. We were able to use the shower by day three but not the toilet. There was no kitchen spray or multipurpose spray provided to keep surfaces clean or to keep the counters free of bacteria nor could we locate a dustpan. It was really hot in the front bedrooms as it was 25 degrees outside and the temperature control is locked at around 21 however, it will not allow you to set it to cool down so in fact, the temperature in the master bedroom was sitting at around 26 degrees through the day with only a fan to use. The AC unit is actually only in the kitchen. On the flip side, we were very happy with our greeter/host for the weekend who always responded quickly with the bigger issues that needed attention. He was friendly and was also able to provide us with a late checkout on our last day since there were a few issues with the cleanliness and maintenance. I would love to stay at this property again but only if there was more attention paid to the cleanliness and maintenance of the home.

Beautiful location, house could use a revamp
Overall, the house was in a nice area, was able to fit a large group, and had a clean, private hot tub! With this listing being named as an executive vacation home, we were really hoping the furniture would be in much better condition than it was. I also wished I did more digging into the reviews to find out that air conditioning was only in the main living room/kitchen area. We were there in August, so I'm sure the heat level we had was unusual for the island, but the bedrooms were all very hot which made it hard to sleep. They provided plug in fans which helped a bit, but there wasn't one in every room. That being said, we still had a wonderful time and took advantage of the close proximity of the Bear Mountain Golf Resort! There were also lots of walking paths nearby and cute deer everywhere. The downloadable check-in/rental information also needs to be updated, as the information was outdated and incorrect.
