North Saanich, British Columbia
Welcome to The Arbutus Loft! Ardmore is an exclusive neighbourhood with very large lots surrounded by trees and ocean. Located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac this loft within a new executive home was completed in 2023. Start your morning gazing out the wall of windows that has you floating in the trees. What next Access one of the many public forested trails; perhaps a 150m trail walk South to Coles Bay or a 600m walk North to Ardmore golf course, you will feel like you are living in a resort.
Ardmore is connected by trails throughout the neighbourhood allowing for walking, running, and cycling in the forest. Being on the west side of the peninsula we are sheltered which provides warmer air and ocean temperatures. Swimming and paddle boarding in Coles Bay is popular throughout the summer.
We designed this house with privacy in mind; no walls in the suite are shared with the living space of the main house. The 900 square foot loft is above the garage but has been fully soundproofed plus double drywall and triple pane windows, no need to tip toe around as we cannot hear each other! The living room/kitchen is open concept with a wall of windows and a skylight as well as a privacy window in the bathroom; it is an extremely bright and quiet suite that feels even roomier with 9 foot ceilings.
The Kitchen is spacious and complete with stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops and soft close drawers. It is fully outfitted including a Nespresso machine, kettle, waffle maker, pancake griddle, rice cooker and stocked with essentials such as Nespresso pods, tea, spices, oil, sugar and a few treats! Full size laundry is also available beside the kitchen.
Two bedrooms each with new high-end King size beds and black out blinds ensure a quiet and comfortable sleep. Plenty of room to hang and fold your things as each bedroom comes with closet organizers.
The living room has plenty of comfortable seating to enjoy a book or access your favorite streaming accounts on the 58” Samsung smart TV (cable is provided). Wi-Fi is lightning fast for use throughout the Loft including a small computer desk with pull out tray should you need to do a bit of work.
You will be comfortable year-round with heat and A/C provided by a mini split system as well as ceiling fans located in each bedroom. Fresh filtered air is continually circulated through the loft via an HRV system. No need for bottled water as all water to the house is processed through a state of the art filtration system.
Absolutely beautiful home and separate unit. Very tastefully and nicely decorated. Lots of thoughtful extras (welcome sign, basket of treats, coffee/tea, juices). Beds were very comfy!
One of the best B&B’s we’ve stayed at. Brand new unit, high ceiling and big windows truly provide a resort atmosphere, with all amenities provided for.
Nancy and Aaron are amazing hosts! Their loft is created with their guests' comfort in mind, and is equipped with the latest amenities. It is extremely quiet and private, spotless, and their attention to details in the set-up are all amazing! We give it an 11 out of 10! Thanks so much!
The Loft is beautiful in terms of architecture, ambiance location. Everything was as advertised, easy access, high tech and most importantly spic and span. You will enjoy your stay. Cheers
Excellent place. Serene environment. Impeccably clean. Nice to have the little extras. Thanks for sharing your home. We loved it!
This property was beautiful. So clean and crisp!!! A short walk to the water and the bay was beautiful. I wish we could have stayed longer.
Property was perfect
This property is incredible. Brand new property, great design and decor. Very quiet and nestled in the trees. Short walk to the beautiful water! Stairs would be a challenge to some but otherwise very accessible. Plenty of parking. They think of everything down to charging cords for our IPhones on each end table by the bed. Bed was very comfortable! Communication was quick and very helpful. This is one of the very best VRBO stays we have ever had. Highly recommend this property!
We really loved this space. It reminded us of home. It is modern, bright and airy with proper aircon. Lots of lovely touches and treats for guests. After our previous accommodation did not match the description, this one definitely did. Location is great for golf and easy drive to Sidney. The little beach is a 5 minute walk away and charming. We only wished we could have stayed longer. Thank you to our hosts for being so helpful and accommodating. We would return here anytime.
How can the loft and surrounding area be better than the amazing photos? Well, it is! The short stairway was truly the Stairway to Nirvana. After our day's journey, entering the loft was a relaxing sensory experience. Throughout the loft were thoughtful details that made the stay lovely and easy. The neighborhood trails are a unique treasure. Truly, it is the best place we have ever stayed at on Vancouver Island as well as the Gulf Islands.
The property was spotless, private and cozy. Highly recommended. Short walk to the beach and driving distance to some great food. Everything about the space is top notch. Would definitely re-book.
This is a brand new property in a peaceful rural location in North Saanich. Everything you dream of having was in place. Host was quick in communications and left a sweet Happy birthday for me. Would definitely choose to stay here again.
This property “in the woods” feels like a retreat. It’s spotless, new, well-lit both naturally and with compact task lighting. Washer and dryer are a plus. Well-stocked kitchen cupboards. Coffee, tea, snacks, welcome message for on a board at the top of the stairs when I entered. Great beds and bedding. Quiet all around. Restful, green, lots of comforts. (Would be nice to have a mirror somewhere else besides the bathroom and a safety handle/bar in the shower. The staircase could be tricky for someone with eyesight issues.)
From the moment we stepped into this unit we felt not only at home but well looked after. Many little details enhanced out stay. The unit is modern, spacious, clean and so very comfortable. The beds are super comfortable too. We all look forward to a repeat visit to this home away from home in Ardmore.
