Ocean Suite Amenities Artsy retro-modern decor in a classic Spanish-Mediterranean-styled beachfront walk-up - circa 1945ish. Ocean Gypsy is a classic gem in the most prestigious location. A place of peace and joy; fun and great memories. There is something for everyone in this location. Check out all the local activities, but don't underestimate the many hours you will soak up sun and play on Cordova Bay and Cordova Bay Beach. Before you book, ask us anything, we are totally honest, and transparent about our character home. As stated above, our place is NOT NEW, but she is gorgeous and a great place to create great memories with family and friends. We keep our place tidy, comfy, casually well-appointed and everything is in working order. We have furnished it with all the modern conveniences you need, but there is no way to make a Spanish-Mediterranean circa 1945ish classic beach home into a brand new home without tearing her down and losing her original charm. And although we are continually upgrading her, and her systems, we have started first with bringing her electricity and water systems to code, and over time, we will address her other antiquated systems. If you want to stay right on the beach, there will be daily on and off shore winds which constantly change the humidity and pick up sand and dust every day and move it around. If it is in the winter, you will be mesmerized with storm watching, whereas, in the summer, the bay is tranquil, making it great for stand-up boarding, kayaking, sailing, and swimming at low-tide when the sun and warm the shallower waters. Our place is not the newest on the beach, but we also are aware that she is a rare and unique gem that truly captures the magic and vistas of Cordova Bay. If you love peace, serenity, and character homes, we would love to share the magic of our location and one-of-kind Spanish gem with you, and help you create the very best of memories. READ BEFORE BOOKING if you are BOOKING during the RAINY SEASON (September-May) There is a random iterant small leak which many trades people have come and tried to fix over the past four winters. However, the leak has been very difficult for anyone to find and fix as it only happens when the wind and rain are in some weird perfect alignment. However, there is a water bucket under the sink and please put out if the drip decides to bless you with its presence! :) As mentioned, it only happens once in a blue moon, and we have been told that probably the only way to truly solve it is to remove the sunroom altogether. This is on our to-do list in upgrades, but replacement will not happen for a few years until we have officially retired, we will have time to invest in this issue. In the meantime, you are welcome to book our property knowing this. Due to this, we decrease the rates in the wet season just in case the horizontal wind and rain align to make it appear for a tad.

This is not a swank, polished property with pristine furnishings and modernist decoration. It's more low key, comfortable, with mismatched coffee cups and floors that squeak. In other words, just the way I like it. And every time you turn a corner, the gobsmacking view of Cordova Bay stops you in your tracks, so much so that you forget what you were trying to do. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f7168d14-6ae1-4d68-bb02-1bff3b8bdae1-1750652407541.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Daniel T.

Quirky fun flat that is circa 1946 and Vin a good location - great restaurant just 3 mins walk away - went to Victoria by bus - very enjoyable — Butchart Gardens - walks along the beach - nearest shopping centre a short drive away and top quality shopping - there is a small patio with table chairs and shade - enough to have eat around - beach infront if you - totally enjoyed ourselves. ##### Juliet A. Stayed 4 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Teri S. Aug 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cordova Beach It was wonderful. You really cannot beat the view. We spent a lot of time in the sun room starting at the ocean. We loved that the house felt like home but away from home. Enough room for 4 adults and 2 teenagers. Easy access to beach. Erik was wonderful about communicating with me. The grocery store (Red Barn) had everything we needed for the time we were there. The extra air mattress and hide abed was greatly appreciated. We could use the smart TV to watch Netflix. We loved that they had all the kitchen cabinets full of what you need to use to cook with and eat on. Did some laundry with the detergent provided. Easy loading dishwasher. Everything was perfect! 10/10 ##### Teri S. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica G. Feb 14, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent communication and customer service We attempted to travel to this property over the Christmas break and due to airline mess ups terrible weather we never actually made our trip. Eric and Ru went above and beyond with communication and customer service, and insured that a terrible situation wasn't made to be even more of a headache due to the fact that we were not able to make it to our destination. So while I have not actually stayed here, I wanted to make a review in order to let any future guests know that Eric and Ru were truly a delight to communicate with, and I can't wait until we actually make it to the West Coast to stay here. ##### Jessica G.
