Savor every moment on Cordova Bay and Cordova Bay Beach, whether soaking up sun or playing in the waves. This character home is perfect for creating memories with family and friends. ## Reviews 9.6 Exceptional ### Entire apartment 2 bedrooms1 bathroomSleeps 61000 sq ft ## Popular amenities - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning - Outdoor Space ## Add dates for prices Check-in Check-out Travellers ## About this property ### Entire place You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party. ### Beachfront paradise! 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.

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.

He went above and beyond and helped return my daughter’s tablet that we accidentally left there. Thank you, Eric for being such a great host and so helpful! We had a wonderful stay. ##### Noelle D. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura A. Aug 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The Ocean Suite is lovely. Lots of light, beautiful panoramic view, everything as described. A great launch point for trips into Victoria, and far enough from the city to feel like a getaway/beach vacation. Parking was easily available on the street, heat pumps in the unit for cooling were a plus, because we had nothing but sunny days to enjoy while we were here. Good communication with the hosts, we would be happy to come back again. ##### Laura A.

Would definitely stay again if we are ever back in Victoria! ##### Greg G. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer W.

Lovely property that allowed her to enjoy expansive views of the Haro Strait while lounging on the couch or in the sun room. Convenient location for jaunts to Victoria, Butchart Gardens and beach drives. Easy access to the beach. s ##### Susan M.
