Spectacular views
The best thing about Dennis' place is the fabulous waterfront location. We enjoyed our coffee every morning watching the sea lions, gulls and even whales one day. The condo itself is very comfortable with great beds and a well stocked kitchen. We really enjoyed our month at Inn of the Sea.

The Best Vacation Ever !
The most peaceful vacation. Very quiet and everyone we met around the complex was so nice. We enjoyed our stay very much and would return. I would highly recommend this property to others. Dennis the host was very kind as well. The water in the cove was so calm. We had such a nice patio and view of the water. The dock was nice to walk on with a bench at the end to enjoy the view. There were many crabs and starfish and we actually got to see a whale pass by. It was amazing. Didn't want to leave !!

Relaxing and Convenient
We stayed here for a few days before our son's graduation. Dennis was a great host and gave us some good ideas about outings. The condo is well laid out and had good separation for our kids in the upstairs bedroom. Lovely spot and we enjoyed looking for starfish on the beach at low tide.

LOVED our visit
We really enjoyed staying at this condo. The view was amazing - it was so enjoyable sitting on the porch while the kids caught tiny crabs by the water. We saw bald eagles and a seal there. Everyone around was friendly. We were able to purchase eggs from a farm in the neighborhood. Locally, we went on a whale watching tour (saw orca, seals, sea lions, bald eagles), explored the seashore, hiked at Cathedral Grove, Butchart Gardens (go do afternoon tea!), and Malahat Skywalk. What a wonderful trip, and the weather was beautiful for us.

Hidden Gem
This gem exceeded our expectations. The property is very well groomed and the condo is ocean front. The condo is very spacious with everything you need and full view to the Water. I used the supplied binoculars everyday. We were lucky enough to watch whales on 3 different occasions. Easy checkin and checkout. We loved it!
