Beautiful Sidney-by-the-Sea Vacation Home Rental

2296 Henry St. Unit 2, Sidney B.C.

Sidney is a quaint sea-side town located about 15 minutes by car from Victoria, B.C., on beautiful Vancouver Island, itself the garden capital of Canada. Sidney boasts the best weather conditions of anywhere in Canada. Unlike Victoria, Sidney is relatively flat, favouring walking, a beautiful seaside walk with sights of the San Juan Islands and the Gulf Islands (including close-by famous Saltspring Island), great shopping (Canada's book capital), and easy access to world famous Butchart Gardens and all of Victoria's attractions, theatres etc. Virtually everything in Sidney is within easy walking distance - and that includes practically anything you can think of! Sidney is close to Victoria's international airport and the BC ferries to the Gulf Islands and Vancouver. Bus service is available to Victoria, Vancouver and BC Ferries. Other ferries are available travelling to Washington State cities. We offer weekly and monthly rental of a lovely 3 bedroom 3 bath town home located three short blocks from the seaside walkway and Beacon St.'s shopping. A grocery superstore is two blocks away, as is the public library, the new wellness fitness park and the Shoal Community Centre.

The world famous Butchart Gardens is located about a 10 minute drive at Saanichtown. This world class tourist attraction is not to be missed! Also, Victoria is a beautiful city to explore. There is good bus service to the ferry terminal at Schwartz Bay (to Vancouver) and into Victoria's inner harbour tourist centre. Have lunch at the BC legistlature dining room, or high tea at the famous Empress Hotel! The Gulf Islands and the San Juan Islands provide interesting trips too. Or you could visit the wineries of the Saanich peninsula. Day trips could include Duncan (the totem pole capital of the world), Nanimo (the most stores per capita in Canada -- and perhaps the States), or the famous "Goats on the Roof" at Coombs or the lovely communities of Parksville and Qualicum, visit the huge trees in Cathedral Grove, or whale watch at Tofino - all on Vancouver Island.
