Monthly Rentals in Haro Strait

It would be impossible to overstate the beauty of this place in the woods. The host described it as paradise, and I can’t help but agree. Although the guest house is very close to the main house, and those looking for seclusion may be disappointed, the host was sensitive to issues of privacy. The house itself is a fascinating work of architecture. Those who are familiar with the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, Antonio Gaudi, and even Mies van der Rohe, will find interesting parallels in this space. (I thought of Mies every night, getting out of the shower in front of a shadeless picture window.) The furniture inside consists of artfully selected pieces chosen especially for the space—beautiful, but not especially comfortable. I was very glad I remembered my hammock and could enjoy the forest and a book while lying under the trees rather than trying to relax inside the house. The location of the rental just above Limekiln State Park and West Side Preserve is ideal for hikers.

We really enjoyed our month’s stay! John and Sarah were excellent hosts with plenty of local knowledge and activity recommendations. The unit was well equipped for both short and longer stays, with amenities for young children (high chair, etc.) upon request. Most appreciated, they were very family friendly hosts who were happy to have young children stay. The location is ideal with parks and grocery stores nearby. Most of Victoria’s urban area is within a 15-minute drive, making it a perfect home base for exploring the southern island. I would certainly recommend this spot when visiting Victoria.

This place is absolutely worth staying at. The view never gets old, Mason is wonderful and made us feel like special guests. Quiet, peaceful, functional, beautiful.

Great spot. Nice neighborhood. Very quiet. Nice area to hang out in backyard when the sun is shining. Great communication from host.
