Fisherman’s Wharf is a vibrant area right on the water. For me the location was well situated near family I was visiting. The houseboats are a nice addition and I’m glad I got to experience staying on one.

Enjoyed my stay. It was a bucket list item! It was clean! It was quiet. There are robes and I love dark towels! The bed is warm with a firm mattress. At home I have a 4 inch memory foam topper, so a firm mattress was a very different sleep for me.

My favorite was having a seal swim by as I was having my morning coffee!

The Mexican restaurant is open through winter which is lovely! It’s steps away from the front door!

I didn’t take in breaky in the provided places she offered. I brought my own. I like breaky quiet in my pjs.

The host, Carlene, was lovely! Very friendly!

If you are coming during the winter months, and you struggle with warm feet, I’d suggest bringing slippers! I was glad I packed them. She does have an area rug, but walks to bathroom or fridge get cold on the feet!

I’d definitely stay again!

Room was very small when you look online it portrays to look like your renting the hole unit not a bed was very disappointing. We gathered our stuff and got a nice room at the magnolia hotel. My own fault for not looking more clearly into this but way to small for a couple to enjoy

Cozy on the water

We stayed for a long weekend. It was great to be right on the wharf! The food around us was great! Room was clean and easy to access. There was breakfast included at a local cafe which was scrumptious.

Nice location

The location is wonderful and interesting however the furniture and home need updating to justify the cost. Plug in bathtub leaks and too much owner junk in the closet. The owner was rude in her explanation so maybe its time to shut it down and retire.

Quiet Houseboat Bed and Brekkie

Communication from the host was outstanding. The room was clean and cozy. No tv in the room, but we really didn’t care. It was a surprise for my family and they loved it. Perfect if you want a quiet affordable getaway. Walking distance to inner harbor. Breakfast was included and provided by a family owned cafe called Imagine. Your choice of fruit and yogurt or a breakfast sandwich on banock bread… it was called Imagine Cafe and they make an awesome wood fired pizza.

We stayed for two nights in this quiet, small community. The breakfast provided by Imagine was excellent. However, it would be more convenient if each room had its own kettle and hair dryer, so we wouldn’t have to return them to the outside area after every use, but we appreciate the effort and hope our feedback can help improve the experience for future guests.

Loved the idea of sleeping on the water. Property was relatively quiet considering the owner lives above and a second unit right next door. Shared air blower/kettle not ideal as wasn't available when needed. There was no tv (which is good and bad) but be aware. Loved our included breakfast at Imagine Cafe. Room was smaller but very clean and sufficient.

The only issue was trying to reply to the host via Expedia on our arrival time, and the host never received it. Being out of the country made it too difficult to call.

Highly recommend this Float Home in Fisherman's Wharf. It's super convenient to enjoy this end of Victoria, snack foods on the Wharf or take a water taxi at your doorstep to other sites. It's a bit small, but it is a houseboat (with one other tenant and the owner living upstairs). The convenience and unique/cuteness factor are definitely worth staying here.

This was a wonderful find! It was perfect for us and we were able to access almost everything by walking. It was very quiet in the evenings as the shops close and the gate gets locked. Sat our on our little deck and enjoyed the view. Carene was an amazing host and was very helpful and attentive to any questions. Very clean and well maintained B&B. The breakfast was a short walk across the green and it was fantastic as well. PERFECT PLACE!!

Awesome floating home B and B.

The location was awesome being at Fisherman's Wharf. Carene (host) was very friendly and professional. Although it wasn't particularly spacious, it was very cozy, and the lack of space was hardly noticed. The little deck was great for enjoying a \"sit down\" with a beverage.

Unique Victoria stay

Location, location! If you love to walk along the water trails, this place is awesome. Water taxi at your doorstep as well. Free parking an added bonus. Caution— don’t over indulge if you’ve a weak stomach. N
Walls are thin, room is spacious with individual heater. 2 seater deck for use and on sunnier, drier days it would be a lovely escape. Cannot comment about the breakfast, our host forgot about us 1 day (life happens) and the other day we didn’t use the coupon for a nearby cafe. Overall, it was a most pleasant and unique experience
