Top British Columbia Vacation Rental Reviews

Superb 1 bedroom suite. Very clean suite. The owners are very accommodating and helpful. More attentive to the enjoyment of my stay than any other owner I have rented from. The location is fantastic; ski out is only 15 meters from your door. 5-10 minute walk to the main village. All the required appliances are present in the suite and new. Gas fireplace/stove provides nice heat and ambiance. Bed was very comfortable. Will definitely rebook this suite on my next trip back to Silver Star.

We had such a great stay here in this condo. It was really nice. It had everything we needed. The owners were very accommodating. We would definitely stay here again.

The owners were awesome and the studio was perfect for our needs. I would go back in a minute! Thanks for making a nordic ski get away easy and memorable!

We came to Victoria as my daughter was competing in the world accordion championship and wanted something that was central but allowed us to get out to the venue easily, we had a little delay in getting the instructions of how to enter the apartment but one quick call before we left the uK and it was sorted.
The instructions to get in were clear and easy, and one first entering the property we were extremely pleased with the cleanliness and position as well as the stunningly views.
What you see in the pictures does not do the position justice, it truly allowed you to look out the windows and soak up the beautiful sunsets or the lights of the city.
The accommodation itself was to a superb specification and we had all the facilities we required, with my wife being happy the she could do our own washing etc.
The security required to get in as well as move about the building is fantastic and very secure with the car safe behind two sets of security gates in the underground car park which is only accessible with the appropriate security token.
It was easy to walk to the harbour or shopping area, as well as get to any location outside of Victoria by car. We didn’t use public transport so can’t comment on that.
Amenities including restaurants, cinema, liquor store and convenience shops were very close but you would need a car if you were doing a larger shop. The restaurants etc. Were very good and some tasty dishes were had by the 3 of us.
If and when I am back in Victoria, I will be booking these apartments again ( if available) as this really started our holiday off well and made us look forward to returning to the lovely place every evening.

What a great spot! The location is ideal and the condo was very clean and comfortable. Having the well equipped kitchen made meals and snacks easy and cost effective, although there are many great restaurants, etc near by. The property manager was excellent to work with and it was very nice to know that she has had listings with Owner Direct Vacation Rentals for so long! Highly recommended.

This was one of the most well-stocked, large and beautiful condos we have ever stayed in! Having three bedrooms and two bathrooms was perfect for our family of six. Well decorated and open concept living and kitchen areas made it very nice to enjoy our family time. The hot tub on the deck was a nice treat on a chilly fall day!

Very well equipped and located very near the lake to enjoy fantastic walks. The owner was easy to communicate with and promptly returned any messages to him. We will stay there again!

We were very pleased with the house! We had a large group, and with all the different entrances we never felt like we were tripping over each other. Very clean and impressed with all that was provided for us to use. It helped us not pack as much. A nice quiet area, so traffic was not an issue. Can't wait to go back for another great holiday!

Loved the condo. Perfect location to discover the surrounding areas and touristy locations. Very handy having a pub at our feet. Only cons are the sun did not reach the location of the deck and clearer instructions regarding the elevator would've been helpful. Next time I would know to go to the condo first to get keys to the garage and elevator. We are both in our 70's, so hauling everything up 3 flights could have been avoided. That said it was a great vacation and we would certainly recommend

Very nice cottage. Very clean with a well equipped kitchen. Beautiful view on the lake from the deck. Contact with owner very good. Email or phone response within hours. Highly recommended.

Our family of 7 adults really enjoyed staying at this condo. The location is excellent, the view is beautiful, and it's well within walking distance of downtown shops and restaurants. It's spacious and the beds are comfy. The kitchen is well appointed. We will definitely stay here again.

House is decorated beautifully, came complete with all we needed in the kitchen, lots of room to move around (never felt crowded), with wonderful views of the mountains/ski runs.

The laundry room came complete with soap and dryer sheets. Great for those who stay longer than we did. Nice touch.

Loved the multitude of towels - enough for showering as well as for use with the hot tub.

Thank you for the great home away from home for our golf getaway.

We really enjoyed staying in this unit. It was more than enough room for our family, we had up to 6 people staying there. We found those staying in the second bedroom used the balcony to access the rest of the unit more often than going through the other bedroom. We brought our boat and it was great having a boat slip included. The dock is secure and very nice. We especially enjoyed having the hot tub to jump into when we came in off of the lake in the evening! We loved having the pool and hot tub and used them a lot. We had a small issue with visitor parking, but it was quickly resolved by the friendly on site staff. We were able to store our boat trailer at a nearby storage facility for $50 for the 2 weeks we were there. The condo location is great and it is an easy walk to the beach and downtown shops, grocery store and restaurants. We will definitely stay here again and loved the area!

We recently stayed at this cottage for a week, and aside from the rainy weather, we were delighted with our stay. This cottage is well equipped, clean, and so warm and cozy. When it rained, we just stayed inside, turned on the fireplace, and played cards or watched movies. We will definitely go back again, and we thank the owners for sharing this lovely space.

Thanks for allowing us to stay in your condo. We love coming to Panorama with the kids. We celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary while there. We got married there right by Toby Creek so staying beside Toby Creek was awesome. Condo had everything we needed. Having a BBQ on the deck was perfect. Thanks again!

Apartment was perfectly equipped with all we needed. Truly enjoyed the peaceful and quiet area and lovely club house. Manager was very prompt in responding.

We really enjoyed our week in this unit with our married children! The bedrooms were comfortable and the kitchen was well-furnished. We appreciated the great view of the lake and the park. There are lots of racks to lock bikes to, and the pool was a great place to sun and entertain small children. The owner was very helpful and provided quick answers to a couple of questions we had. This is the second time we've stayed at this resort. It’s an excellent place for relaxed family fun and the area in general caters to very different tastes… There’s something to enjoy for everyone!

Great location close to the village. Dog friendly. Will rent again.

Beautiful clean house with lots of room. Very well stocked with anything you may need. The owner was great to deal with, and we would stay at this home again for sure. We will be back.

I can’t even begin to say how wonderful our experience was with the farmhouse as well as the owners. It was so beautiful and serene and a way to experience the stillness and beauty of nature along with the fun of lakeside living. We were up feeding the goats every morning and even the beautiful white horses in the meadows. The lake was ours, and it was so private and vast! Kayaking, trail walking, swimming and teaching our dogs to swim was such a joy. The owners were so kind and friendly even offering to go up to town to grab us anything we needed. The farm house was so clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated. Even though we were there during the first two days of smoke due to wild fires, we enjoyed the relaxing cabin life. Also, my mother passed away, and it was the first time my dad had been away. He found it to be just what he needed. We will be back next summer and can’t wait! 5/5 for this secret gem.
