About Joff and Ginny Barlow

It was always a dream of ours to build a custom home on Bear Mountain. We have lived on the mountain for one year now and love all the amenities at our door step and we are so happy with our choice of property and neighborhood. Our custom designed dream home was built in early 2012 and the garden suite was designed from conception to be a vacation home away from home that would appeal to a variety of travelers.

Joff and Ginny Barlow purchased this apartment in 2012
Why Joff and Ginny Barlow chose Victoria

This property is unique in that there is natural forest behind the property and is on a corner lot with above average privacy as we have neighbours on one-side and across the street. We didn`t want that `closed in suburban`feel and we waited for the perfect opportunity in our dream neighbourhood to present itself and it surely did! Where else can one watch deer graze while sipping coffee from our private patio and all the while we are just 15 minutes from downtown Victoria! It really is the best of both worlds and we love the Westcoast lifestyle.

What makes this apartment unique

There are so many reasons to chose staying on the Mountain in a private home as you have the full resort available at your doorstep without that Condo feel. Victoria is a haven for the outdoor adventurist or for those that love shopping, eco-tourism, fine dining or sitting down at one of our casual fantastic urban cafes! We are locals ourselves so we know all the great well hidden local hot spots off the beaten path. Our recommendations will be included in your 'Best of Victoria Binder' available for your reading pleasure while you stay!

We were blessed to visit this property in Victoria during our recent visit. The accommodations were outstanding and Ginny left us a lovely pastry on the kitchen table to await our arrival. The property is conveniently located outside of Victoria, just a short drive from town. The property is quite comfortable, with a very nice kitchen and living area. The neighborhood was quiet and the deck/BBQ was great. We highly recommend this property and would jump at the opportunity to stay their again. Also, Ginny (owner) was a great communicator and responsive to our requests/inquiries. If you're wondering whether this property is for you, don't think twice. Just book it =0)

This property exceeded our expectations. The suite is fully equipped with ohhhhh so many added details. The owners take great pride in providing a comfortable and trendy environment. The location is excellent. We highly recommend the suite. The experience was perfect from start to finish. The beds and linens are wonderful. The Millstream Market and the Everything Wine store are close by and offer a diverse selection! The property is a west coast gem.

Our stay at this condo was awesome. I had my mother and little boy join me and Ginny thought of everything. She had a playpen, bedding and a high chair all ready for our son's stay. This made all the difference to us! The condo was elegantly decorated, the beds were super comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped with all we needed to cook meals. I have rented previously on VRBO for a much higher rate per night with our extended family and I can honestly say this condo could compete with those! We loved it here and I would highly recommended it to anyone wanting a beautiful view and a comfortable hassle free vacation.
