Nouveau front de mer. Maison écologique

From the moment we stepped into Caroline’s place, where a bottle of wine and a view beyond imaging welcomed us, we were satisfied beyond our expectations. It is beautiful, clean, and comfortable - the prefect place to relax and drink in the beauty of Vancouver island. We cooked more often that we thought we might, just because the kitchen is so fantastic and well stocked, and because we often just didn’t want to leave. There are good stores and restaurants close by.

Admittedly, the ongoing construction in the area did slow down the trip into Victoria a bit. That said, we wouldn’t have wanted to stay anywhere else, and hope to return.

The overall experience was wonderful. Great house, perfect views, and 10 mins to downtown Victoria. We highly recommend the property.

This property was all it was advertised to be and more. Caroline and Trevor were wonderful to work with. The beds were great, and we loved the upstairs deck. Vancouver Island is an amazing place to visit. Seahaven is the perfect place to stay.

Convenient location, with Victoria to the south east, Colwood (Hatley Castle etc.) to the south west, & Butchart Gardens to the north west.

There's some major road construction on the interstate, but it cannot be heard from even outside the property. Very quiet neighborhood with quiet neighbors. In the morning you wake up & look at the pretty garden & watch the geese & ducks.

Humongous kitchen with all the amenities & more, fully stocked from things prior guests have left behind. So full in fact that you may have to move a few things to make space for anything you bring. One of us made a pretty good sun-dried tomato dip out of stuff from the fridge, plus a nice fresh garden cucumber gifted by the owner. Appreciated the still-fresh coffee creamer, milk, half-&-half, sour cream, cream cheese, potatoes, & earl grey tea we found.

One of us has a severe fragrance allergy & could not tolerate the smell of the detergent used to wash the sheets & towels & broke out in hives a few times, so I do recommend switching to an unscented "free & clear" hypoallergenic detergent.

Highly recommend checking out the nearby Med Grill Royal Oak restaurant the owner brought up when we asked about Mediterranean restaurants. She will also tell you about all the local grocers & other types of food & shopping if you ask.

There's a TV upstairs & downstairs & several places to read, so you will not be on top of each other. You can lounge on the top & also eat dinner up there. Mosquitoes surprisingly don't seem to be a thing here. We left the windows open all night long for a week & nobody got bitten.

The house, like most places, has no AC, & it gets very hot & humid inside, so Spring, & Fall, & Winter are the best months to stay here. If you come in Summer, there are a couple of tower fans that will save the night.

I would give this property a 10/10. It exceeded our expectations! This property is outstanding !

Booking was seamless, arrival was wonderful, Caroline was a great host, gave a quick tour of the property and answered any questions I had. The views are breathtaking,, the house is beautiful and well equipped. Every thing you could possibly want is there, Beds were so comfy, both showers in the bathrooms were so nicely crafted, Beautiful decor, large kitchen equipped with everything, the deck off the upper level is paradise, views and more views!!

Our dog Jake enjoyed Levi’s company!

The entire family is already planning the next trip back, will definitely return

Thank you Caroline- for for making our visit great!
