Waterlily Lane has the four key ingredients for a worthwhile vacation: island location, lakefront, good weather and easy access to surrounding activities. 'Waterlily' is the perfect family gathering place and our fire pit is ready. The lakefront has a large dock with Gazebo and an "easy to use" party barge which can cruise the lake any time of year. LOCATION . "Waterlily " is on the west shore of Victoria, Vancouver Island. Victoria has an old style charm and is the capital city of the province of British Columbia. WATERFRONT: Waterlily has a private waterfront with tall cedars on one side and a gigantic Willow on the other. With lawn and a large dock in between. The Cedars have a rope swing. The dock a large floating Gazebo leading to a Jimmy Buffet type bar and change room. WEATHER: Mild warm summers, cooling ocean breeze (we are an island) and very few bugs and biting insects. EASY ACCESS: Waterlily is beside the Galloping Goose cycle trail and a short ride to the new Jordie Lunn bike park (https://vancouverisland.travel/stakeholders/jordie-lunn-bp/ ). The Pacific ocean coast beaches are only a short drive away along the Esquimalt Lagoon bordering the manicured lawns of famous Royal Roads University. 10 mins from 3 different golf courses. 15 from Goldstream Provincial Park and the Mt Finlayson hiking trails. The Butcharts Gardens (https://www.butchartgardens.com) and Victoria's inner harbour area - 1/2 hr drive. 3 ferry terminals are close by and Victoria international airport is 25 mins away. DISCLAIMER: Due to the new BC laws governing STR's (short term rental homes) The residence must be owner occupied, meaning I live on site. In a semi detached 1 bedroom suite below the large sundeck. The is also a young couple living above the garage. That's the way it has always been since I first listed with VRBO back in 2007, guests had as much privacy as they wanted. 5 star reviews. We are SAFE from bed bugs, biting insects, and break ins. Walk up the garden path through fruit trees and grape vines across the large sundeck and through french doors into a rambling split level 3 bedroom main house. Help yourself to a bowl full of Blueberries - just don't pick them all. Waterlily is a renovated 1960's original lake cottage with large editions added 1970's and 2010. It has full kitchen and all the utensils you will need to make memorable meals. Here is a list of what extras we provide free of charge: \* a 10 x 12 ft electric motor party barge to cruise the lake with - easy to use Newport electric trolling motor. \* kids kayak, 2 SUP boards. \* Rope swing into the water a sailing dinghy if you know how to sail. \* fishing rods, tackle boxes During summer, the minimum stay is 5 nights. The BEST meat store on the island (Glenwood Meats) within 200 meter walk. Westshore Mall with 3 large grocery stores, Walmart, BC Gov super liquor, restaurants. The750 sq ft deck has a 'wow' factor with a 180 degree view over Glen Lake and Weber BBQ. For toddlers/children there is a large park next door with a new playground apparatus and a water play feature. Go for a cycle on the safe Galloping Goose cycle rail trail for 55kms worth of car free designated cycling/walking flat trails. Or the Sooke Wilderness Trail which climbs into the hills behind us and over an old railway trestle to Shawnigan Lake and beyond. It is now a part of the Trans Canada Trail system which connects the Pacific to the Atlantic via recreational (no cars) trail system. Lots of wildlife visit the property. Deer walk the pathways and native turtles sunning themselves on a log next door . And a family of otters which can be seen crunching on crayfish lying on their backs in the water. Raccoons stop by to gather the ripe fruit during season. Bald eagles live in the trees around the lake. The new Y is walking distance - pool, terrific tube slide, yoga and large weight gym. 5-8km running trails easily accessible on foot or bike trail around nearby Lake Langford. Westhills Stadium home to the Canadian National Rugby team is located on Glen Lake Road just around the corner and across the lake from us. We discount for rugby players and fans on special events ( I am a retired rugby coach). \*\*\*\* NO FALSE REVIEWS HERE \*\*\* the reviews are genuine on our VRBO site.
