Absolutely fanastic stay both were really welcoming and made sure to make us feel welcome. They went above and beyond, even when we arrived later in the evening than planned. The beds were really comfortable and breakfast was amazing. We loved having a lazy morning with the dogs as well.

Karey is a very personable host and if you are a dog lover she has 3 well mannered standard poodles; Wally, Tigre and Molly. If you like, Karey will call them into your room one at a time to meet you. The bed was comfortable, you have your choice of 3 breakfast items and ours was delicious. Unfortunately we only stayed one night, however , we plan to return to explore the surrounding beaches and walks.

Her place is clean, beautiful and tranquil and there you will find whatever you need to have a great vacation in Victoria. She also made us a special breakfast which was super delicious and tasty.

Hosts were incredibly friendly, warm and receptive. Their dogs (hypoallergic poodles) were the cutest to play with and well-behaved. The room itself (Library Room) is cozy and rustic with more than enough things we needed. Some items like toothpaste are lacking but I'm sure that if you ask the hosts, you'll be able to get one anyway. Overall, the experience was incredible and I would recommend this place to everyone! Just note that the location is rather detached from most places and it gets pretty dark at night, so it'll be best to rent out a car if you're staying!

We had the most amazing time at Coles Bay Vacation Retreat! They are the most lovely couple who care so much about their guests experience. We arrived in the wee hours of the morning on a late flight and they were so accommodating, meeting us on the driveway to give us a tour of our place. They were also up in the morning preparing the most delicious breakfast of our choosing from a wonderful selection of menu items. They even catered to my gluten free needs! It was a quiet comfortable stay and was only a 6 minute drive from the airport!

We cannot even say enough about this place. The property is gorgeous, and the hosts are so friendly, they have answers to any questions you may have about the area, history , or dining. If you like to eat, I recommend fasting the day before. I have never had such a breakfast. Do yourself a favour and book here. Take walks. Enjoy the peace. Pet the puppies.

We liked the cozy comfortable feel of this place. Amenities, clean, neat. Very friendly hosts who own the property.
We liked this property much more than we expected. Wished we would have stayed longer.

We absolutely loved our time here, enjoying nice walks near the property, and our suite that was outfitted with everything you could need. Our host was very accomodating, which was very appreciated, and made our stay especially memorable. Thank you for everything, we hope to visit again soon!!

What a gem we found in Coles Bay Vacation Rental! We arrived here after a late night flight into Victoria Airport. Karey met us at the door and invited us into this sweet space, welcoming us and explaining where things were in the room and how to operate appliances. Our bed was super comfortable and the hot breakfast with fresh croissants were sooo yummy! What a find!

Host is lovely, breakfast was delicious, area is quiet and beautiful, unit has absolutely everything you can possibly require.

Optional interaction with resident poodles, who did not bark at all after I was settled in the unit.

Beware that if you use the calendar event that Expedia automatically generates on iPhone, the address is NOT correct (takes you next door) and that the Apple map pin on the correct address is also not accurate.

The room has everything you need. The host made us a lovely breakfast to take on the plane as we were leaving at 3:30 am.

What a nice residential part of Vancouver Island that’s just a short drive from the Swartz Bay ferry terminal. I’m a female solo traveler and I felt very safe. I slept well and felt taken care of by Karey. Breakfast was fantastic! Loved the waffles and fresh fruits. Will definitely come back.

Our stay at Coles Bay Vacation Resort was so amazing that we spent our last night there too since our flight plans got delayed.
We can't wait to go back, our \"cottage\" was like an apartment, it had everything you need to relax and cook a nice meal.
The breakfast Karey served was fresh and delicious.

This was a lovely cottage stay. Karey gave a little tour of the 1 bedroom cottage complete with a full bathroom/ shower and luxurious towels, sunken living room, dining room and kitchen. She showed me how everything worked and where everything that I might need was located. There were two types of coffee and several selections of tea available. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, pot, pans, plates etc.
Karey brought me breakfast on a tray right to my door. Oven fresh croissants with scrumptious yogurt, and fresh fruit. Absolutely delicious. Her husband, Howie transported me to the airport, in the morning, which is only about six minutes away. The bed was super comfy and I slept well. Although I only spent one night at the cottage
I was fortunate to get an upgrade as I Initially had just booked a room rather than the One bedroom cottage that I stayed in. I would love to return for a longer stay next time.
Wonderful hosts and lovely stay. Thank you for the hospitality.

Very nice accommodation. Closr to the airport and the town of
Sidney. Breakfast was fabulous. Rural setting and a car is necessary.
