Great location and home away from home!
What a great condo! The kitchen was very well equipped and the location couldn’t have been better! You can sit on your sofa and watch the sailboats go by. Almost next door to the Sea Glass Restaurant that is very good.

Not only did the view exceed our expectations but the condo is within the easy walking distance of the Seaglass restaurant. Excellent food and great view of the marina. It soon became our favorite place to eat.

This two bedroom, two bathroom, apartment is exceedingly comfortable. The location is excellent. It is very comfortable. The photos online do not do it justice. It is in a building with a very open and warm common space. My son and I were extremely comfortable here. I *strongly* recommend you give this place serious consideration. A gem if I've ever seen one.

Overall a great spot
A great spot & did connect with owner but had difficulty when arriving as no manager or call to assist! Sorry there was no actual stove as nice for long term stays! Also although we don’t have a pet , the inability to have a small dog visit( even at a cost) limited our son’s opportunity to visit us! Still a wonderful spot that we would recommend!

Peaceful Location
We stayed in this apartment for six weeks in January and February to escape the harshness of a Canadian winter. The apartment is on the ground floor of a four story building which was formerly a hotel, I believe. As a result, there is a central atrium with a large lounge on the ground floor with ample seating, a fireplace, a dining table, a large aquarium and the former check-in desk. There is also a community kitchen. Our apartment was accessed through a door off this central atrium. The apartment itself is very comfortably sized for a long-stay for three adults, having two bedrooms with comfy beds and two bathrooms. The seating area, dining area and kitchen are open-concept with French doors opening onto a ground-floor balcony with a small view of the water through a break in the trees. The kitchen is well-stocked but be aware that there is no dishwasher or oven in the apartment although you can (and I did) use the oven in the community kitchen. The building itself is located in a mixed residential (very nice) and commercial area (marina and marina services). I am a "walker" so found it an easy 25 minute walk into Sidney, which I did almost every day (for exercise and coffee). It is a 10 minute drive to the airport or the Schwarz Bay ferry and a 30 minute drive to downtown Victoria. We enjoyed our stay in this apartment and would happily stay here again. Note that the main heat for the apartment is a two-sided fireplace (living room and bedroom).

A wonderful location with easy access to Sidney by Sea, national parks and ferry terminal.
A fantastic week spent Vancouver Island, which was our first visit. I would thoroughly recommended the location as easy to access from the ferry and Sidney is very relaxing. Thanks to our host who was thorough with updates before our arrival.

Staying at Miraloma was a great experience. The setting is beautiful. The condo was very spacious with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, living room with a great view and kitchen area. It is close to the town centre and easy access to the highway to Victoria. Highly recommend staying here and we will book it again on our next trip. Many thanks to the host.

Very nice unit, but small kitchen
There is much to commend this property. The building and grounds are beautiful. The unit is attractively furnished with designer touches. There are excellent water views from the living room and master bath. The location is next to a yacht harbor with shore walks close by. The host, Joyce, is an excellent and responsive communicator. All in all, a lot of positives. However, as often the case, you need to understand exactly what you are getting and decide whether it completely meets your needs. This unit, really the entire complex, was clearly intended for short term stays as opposed to a condo for permanent living. This is especially apparent in the kitchen. Only two burners, no oven, and, for us a big negative, no dishwasher. If you like to eat in restaurants on vacation and don't plan to entertain much, this could be a great choice. If you want to cook serious meals and don't like washing dishes by hand you may be less happy.

Relaxing break
I highly recommend staying here! Very quiet, we felt like there was nobody else in the property! The setting is beautiful. We enjoyed looking out across the water. Sidney town centre is an easy 20-30 minute walk. You can also walk there on the beach if you’re agile enough to scramble over rocks but still a pleasant walk. The property is clean and well equipped. The bed was so comfortable I didn’t want to leave! We hope to visit again soon
