Saanichton House | Heron's Retreat - Stunning Oceanfront 1-Bedroom Suite

1 Bedroom House in Saanichton, Victoria

Heron's Retreat’s Stunning Oceanfront 1-Bedroom Suite is situated in a west-coast style home on a gorgeous ocean-front property featuring 130 ft of walk-on beach and over an acre of beautifully landscaped gardens. This getaway is ideal for anyone needing a good dose of nature and tranquility. The boathouse is complete with a couple of kayaks and canoes available to borrow or bring your own toys and take advantage of the secure storage.
The 1-bedroom suite is tastefully decorated. Get cozy on the sofa and take in the unobstructed ocean views, tune into your favourite Netflix, Amazon Prime, or AppleTV movie or series on the large, flat-screen TV, or relax in front of a fire burning in the wood-burning stove. There is a full-size fridge, dishwasher, 2-burner cooktop, microwave, coffee maker, and all the kitchen essentials needed to enjoy a home-cooked meal. Outside is a high-end Weber barbecue available for the grilling enthusiast. Snuggle into the top-of-the-line Beauty-rest, king-sized bed complete with high-end cotton linens and down duvet. The large bedroom also has a wardrobe and chest of drawers, a flat-screen TV, and small desk and chair. Enjoy a relaxing soak in the bath tub or rinse away the stress in the 5-way rain shower. WIFI is everywhere, so you can stream your favourite music.
Put your feet up, take in the fresh salty air, enjoy a glass of wine, listen to the ebb and flow of the waves, and soak up the views of James Island and beyond from the boathouse deck or seaside patio. Also, if you're looking for a change of scene, the park bench overlooking the pond is wonderfully relaxing. In the summer, swim, suntan, forage for beach treasures, or take the canoes or kayaks out for a paddle – or enjoy spectacular storm watching in the winter. More than likely, you will see the local seals, otters, and, if you’re lucky, even a whale pass by. A gaggle of geese, a couple of bald eagles, and of course our beloved blue herons are frequently perched within view. In the evening, gaze into a crackling fire in the seaside fire pit (or gas fire pit if burning restrictions are in effect), or enjoy the silence and splendour of the star-filled sky. For the cycling enthusiasts, grab the bikes and set out on the Lochside Trail which runs right past the front gate.
We very close to all the great sites: Sidney by the Sea – 5 km (3 miles); Butchart Gardens – 10 km (6 miles); and, Downtown Victoria – 20 km (12 miles). There's bus transportation right at the property entrance and we are close to all major transportation hubs: - Victoria International Airport – 4 ½ km (2 miles) - Swartz Bay Ferry Terminal – 10 km (6 miles) - Anacortes / Sidney Ferry Terminal – 5 km (3 miles).
Sidney by the Sea boasts fabulous restaurants, shops, and, grocery and liquor stores. There’s a street market every Thursday evening & Sunday morning (in the summer months) with over 150 vendors offering everything from locally produced wines and ciders, locally grown produce, handmade jewelry by local artisans, handmade soaps, home-made breads, jams, fudge, food trucks, live entertainment and so much more.
Please note: Heron’s Retreat is also my home where I live (with my 2 very friendly golden doodles) to ensure guests have everything they need to truly enjoy all that Heron's Retreat has to offer.

Summary: The host was gracious and helpful right from the start. The waterfront location was very nice and extremely private. The spacious home and the well-stocked kitchen suited our family of 8 plus a 4-year old's needs very well. The beds were very comfortable although a few in our group wished there were more pillow options (i.e. firmer). The grounds around the home were well-maintained and we would like to return in warmer weather to make use of the boats, bicycles and fire pits. A few very minor issues - water filter warning light in the fridge was on from day one, the light over the ensuite shower went out and the drain in the same shower drained inconsistently. Our stay was otherwise perfect and we would love to return.
