The location is absolutely stunning! This is a hidden gem. We had everything we needed to be completely comfortable, and to get the most out of the natural surroundings. We were close enough to Victoria to drive in for excursions/sightseeing, but far enough away that we felt like we were in seclusion. Jim was a very accommodating and responsive host.

Perfectly secluded
We had an amazing time. Even with the power being out for a bit on our first day we just loved it and Jim made sure we had everything we needed. We would love to stay here again.

I enjoyed my stay, and Jim was very helpful resolving any issues.The kitchen area is open and can be a bit chilly if the weather is cold, however the fire pit helps, and you can eat in the boat if it is too cold outside.Thanks, Jim. I enjoyed meeting and chatting with you!
This was an awesome place to stay for the weekend. It’s got everything you need for a nice little getaway and it’s close to some awesome scenic beaches. It was cool to stay in a boat rather than a hotel for a change. It was very cozy inside and out especially with the propane fire pit on the deck to relax after a long day of adventures. I would recommend this property to anyone wanting to stay in this area.
