Lakeshore Country Retreat

.

Don't let the plain exterior fool you. This house has gardens like the Butchart, lake views and views of Mt Baker in the distance, and the best owners on earth. They brought us fresh goodies from their farm daily! We picked backyard raspberries and enjoyed them on the glass fronted deck as the breezes off the lake cooled us. Two of the 4 bedrooms face the views and have large sliding doors so you can enjoy the breezes all night long. It was immaculately clean and the mix of original 1980's oak cabinets, tile and hardwood floors with newer upgrades was charming. It was so nice we regretted having to leave for touring each day, and our kids teared up saying goodbye to the owners, who had become like our own grandparents from the old country. An experience we will never forget.

Morningside Ocean Estate

.

What a beautiful place, ideal for a family of 19 to celebrate our 50th anniversary. The house was wonderful, so much inside and outside space that we never felt crowded. The nine grandchildren loved the trampoline, pool and hot tub, kayaking, playing badminton, roasting marshmallows. The highlight was seeing a mother whale and her calf swim by.
Thanks to Janet for taking such good care of us. I would recommend this place 100.

Bungalow 59

George Ronald and Lorraine P.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in bungalow 59. It was just what we were looking for - clean, well equipped and most of all, very private. The garden area off the pretty dining room added to the ambience. It was perfect for us as family live in the area so we were able to invite them over for a visit. Hopefully, we will have an opportunity to come back again.

Sincerely,
Ron & Lorraine

Serenity Bay

Linda M.

Views were amazing. We had a very enjoyable relaxing holiday. The only slight downside were the bedrooms downstairs, they were very dull in comparison and it did take a bit of encouragement to get our daughters to sleep down there as they thought it was a bit isolated and creepy. It meant some people had lovely views and some had none. This could be shown better on the web page.The rest of the accomodation was superb as was the location very peaceful and relaxing. The drive was very steep and as we were given very large cars at the airport it was difficult to get them both on the drive. Although we had a residents permit to park opposite the house a neighbour did complain that we shouldn't park there the first day we arrived not a friendly welcome! However they didn't say anything after that, maybe they just had a bad day. Overall a fantastic house and location and if possible we would definitely try to go again. The local gallery in Lions Bay was very friendly.

Serenity Seaside Cabin

Hilary and Jason V.

We had an exceptional time at the Serenity by the Sea Cabin. The setting is magical and the perfect respite from a hectic world. We loved the isolation, but also loved being able to eat dinner in Victoria after only a short drive. As you know, we did have the problem of the cabin having mice and mice poop throughout the kitchen and dresser drawers, but it was handled to our satisfaction and we enjoyed the treat of staying in the main house. Jim was very kind to us and we were grateful for his fresh produce and eggs.

Pendray House

We had a lovely time! Beautiful accommodation. Thank you!

Manor Suite Off Rockland

James H. C.

We really enjoyed our stay in Victoria. The suite was very clean and modern, and we particularly liked the two-headed shower! The house where we stayed was also in a good location, very close to Government House and within walking distance of many of Victoria's beautiful sights, including Beacon Hill Park, Ross Bay, Oak Bay, Gonzales Hill, etc. Grocery shopping was not quite so convenient we had no car, but it was manageable.

The owner was very helpful in resolving two of the problems we encountered no WIFI internet access initially, and a break-down of the washing machine.

The were only three aspects of the suite that bothered us somewhat. First, the bed was not particularly comfortable, the mattress seemed to sag in places. Second, the suite had little natural light, as it was in the basement. And third, we sometimes got noise from upstairs, as it seems there is no sound-proofing between the upstairs and downstairs levels. Probably the owners also got some noise from us sometimes!

Anyway, overall it was an excellent experience, and we are very happy that we now know Victoria very well.

Miraloma 307

Arlene H.

Miraloma on the Cove is a very nice quiet spot to get 'away from it all' and I would certainly return in the future. Having said that, the suite I rented for two months was not equipped adequately for that length of time ie. kitchen supplies. It would have been good to know that the studio suites are not suitable for a long term stay. I should have rented a one bedroom unit instead, but was not aware of the lack of some necessities for a long term stay.

However, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay there... very relaxing and refreshing.
By the way, the bed linens were very cosy and comfortable.

Capitol Hill Executive House

Alex L.

We loved this house, it had everything we needed. Close to any attraction or just a few minutes away from downtown, malls, restaurants, etc.

Amazing view from the hill and a quite and safe neightborhood. And my dogs were happy to get to travel wih us.

Deborah is a really nice person, if I have to stay more than a week in Burnaby or Vancouver I would definitely book this house again!

Serenity By The Sea

Ricardo D.

The house is excellent, and easily accommodated us a couple with three teenagers and two dogs. We found all necessary house appliances with some nice extras like a hot tube. The hospitality of the owner is awesome. We arrived at night, but even so, he personally guided us to the house, and arranged foodstuff for the night meal and breakfast.
We highly recommend this property.

Firenze Condo

Warren Z.

The condo was clean and comfortable, conveniently located to public transportation and directly across from a mall with a multiplex theatre. The downside was that it was the month of December and out of 30 days there were only 3 of sun 26 rain and 1 snow.

West End Oasis

Barbara C.

The apartment was just perfect for what we needed. We were just a couple of blocks away from our son's apartment, so going back and forth was easy. We were also able to spend a week in Vancouver without needing to hire a car since we were easy walking distance to nearly everything we needed. Stanley Park is close by, so we were able to go running through the park and on the seawall every day despite terrible weather!. The apartment is comfortable and the owners have been very thoughtful about the kinds of equipment one might need during a stay. The wireless internet works well, and the printer/scanner came in handy when we suddenly needed to sign and send some important papers. The kitchen is well supplied after a big shop at a nearby supermarket, we were able to prepare meals at the apartment when desired.
We would definitely stay at this apartment again.

Fortuna on Howe

Jane M.

The apartment was even better than the pictures. Great location for getting around via the bus system. Very secure and felt very safe. Thanks for everything!

Spectrum 31

Bob C.

This is excellent accommodation both for the location and views and the quality of the unit. Isabel was a fabulous greeter and her info on the local area was excellent.

Bungalow 59

Deborah and Bernard L.

We came to Victoria and stayed at Bungalow 59 for the purpose of having a baby there. We live in a community where babies are not delivered and as such we came to stay for 6 weeks. We needed a great location and a large yard for our three year old to play in and found both here. The property was immaculate and well stocked with necessities. We loved this property and look forward to staying there again.

Yaletown Waterside

Fulvio T.

Overall an excellent unit, thanks.

Magnolia Cottage

Ikuru I.

The accommodation was in a quiet, relaxing environment. It was clean and well equipped including wireless internet access, and I saw no problem during my stay. It takes only a five minute walk to a nearby park and ten minutes to the seashore. There is no grocery store or any shop within a short walking distance, but you can reach large supermarkets within 5-10 minutes by car. It was the beginning of winter and I had much rain, but there was some sunshine occasionally and it was fun to walk around. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay and appreciate the house owners and EMR Vacation Rentals staff for their hospitality and modesty.

Bee Suite on Homer

Ana Paula C.

We had a excellent time in Vancouver and our accommodation helped a lot for this.
Special thanks for Simone and Isabel, they are lovable and competent.
The localization is wonderful, and the apartment very beautiful.
Certainly, I'll recommend EMR to my friends who will go to Vancouver.

Cedar Shores

Julie M.

Our vacation to Vancouver and Vancouver Island was fantatstic. The views from both the apartment in Vancouver and the house on the island were stunning. Having access to kayaks enabled us to gain another perspective on this beautiful part of the world. I will certainly return.

Ships Point Beach House

Victoria B.

Our month-long stay at Ship's Point Beach House was a lovely home away from home that was very comfortable, clean and well appointed. We would definitely stay there again and hopefully that will be sooner rather than later. The most peaceful and serene place to enjoy ever changing views of the ocean bay's activities. It was so interesting to watch, bald eagles, blue herons, kingfishers, stellar jays, swans, seals, salmon jumping out of the water, and a delightful variety of other birds that we kept our binoculars close by ready to observe continuous scenery and wildlife changes. The private yard was so nice to spend quiet moments. Having a walking trail from our beachfront to the nature areas nearby was an added bonus and very much utilized during our stay. We loved watching the tidal changes and all the variety of activities that changed with them. It is a very special place to relax and nature watch.

Evenings were easy to spend sipping some beverages, dining on Fanny Bay oysters and enjoying the local company and great service just down the road at the FBI- Fanny Bay Inn. Highly recommended for great food and friendly servers.

The beds were very comfortable and we found the kitchen to be nicely equipped. I would add an ice-cream scoop and a funnel too. Everything was in working order and we had lots of extra blankets, towels and bed sheets in stock. Having the washer and dryer was very convenient.

Many thanks for a totally terrific vacation rental experience.
