3 Bedroom House in Saanichton

Heron's Retreat - Gorgeous Beach House is a magnificent ocean-front, west-coast stye home on a gorgeous ocean-front property featuring 130 feet of walk-on beach and over an acre of beautifully landscaped gardens. This getaway is ideal for hikers, kayakers, paddle boarders, and cyclists, or anyone needing a good dose of nature and tranquility. The boathouse is complete with a couple of kayaks and canoes available to borrow or, bring your own toys and take advantage of the secure storage.
This beautiful beachfront home has 3 bedrooms and 2 1/2 bathrooms and has every luxury consistent with a high-end getaway. The main floor features a large living room, dining room, kitchen, office, powder-room bathroom, bedroom with bunk beds, and stunning master bedroom with king-sized bed and ensuite. The lower level features a bedroom with queen-sized bed, full bath and laundry.
The living room has a lovely wood fireplace to curl up to as well as provides spectacular, unobstructed ocean views. It has a very comfy sectional sofa that's perfect for afternoon naps or to settle in and enjoy your favourite movie on the high-end flat screen TV. There is also a very cozy swivel sofa chair to curl up in with a good book or just gaze out at the stunning view.
The separate dining room boasts the same amazing view with a beautiful hand-made Canadian maple dining table and sideboard.
The kitchen is a cooking enthusiasts dream. It has granite counter tops, gorgeous cabinets, stainless-steel appliances which includes: a state-of-the-art induction range with duel convection oven, fridge and freezer with filtered water and ice maker, high-end, silent dishwasher, built-in, multi-function convection microwave, coffee machine, regular drip coffee machine, coffee grinder, Vitamix blender, high-end cookware, and so much more. There are loads of counter space for prep but be warned…. it is hard to focus because one area provides a beautiful view of the ocean and the other, the spectacular gardens and pond. The kitchen also provides a second eating area and has table for 6.
The decks are absolutely amazing and wrap around 2 sides of the house. Watching the sun rise on the breakfast deck with coffee in hand is the best way to start the day! The breakfast deck has 4 comfortable chairs as well as a bistro table with 4 chairs. The large entertainment deck on the side of the house provides an outdoor sectional sofa, fire table, large umbrella, a comfortable lounge chair as well as an outdoor eating area for 6 which is covered by a sunshade. For the expert griller, there’s a top-of-the-line Napoleon propane barbecue complete with built-in smoker and infrared, searing side burner.
The bedrooms all have top-of-the-line beds complete with high-end cotton linens and duvets.
The master bedroom has a king-size bed and sliding glass doors onto the upper deck and large walk-in closet. The ensuite bath has marble double sinks, heated tile floor, and a large walk-in shower.
The powder-room bathroom on the main floor overlooks the gardens and has a heated tile floor and pedestal sink.
The nautical room on the main floor overlooks the garden and has heavy-duty bunk beds (suitable for adults) with very comfortable double bed on the bottom and single on the top.
The main floor office has a lovely view of the vast, beautifully manicured park-like gardens. It has a large desk, and wireless printer.
The lower level has a bedroom with a queen-size bed and full bathroom with double sinks, heated tile floor, tub, and 5-way rain shower. Enjoy a relaxing soak in the tub or rinse away the stress in the rain shower.
WIFI is everywhere, so you can stream your favourite music. All the TVs include a large selection of Apple movies and TV series as well as Amazon Prime and Netflix programming only (sorry no cable).
Put your feet up, take in the fresh salty air, enjoy a glass of wine, listen to the soft ebb, and flow of the waves, and soak up the views of James Island and beyond from one of the many decks or patios - the impressive entertainment deck, relaxing upper breakfast deck, or one of the common areas (lower covered patio, boathouse deck, and seaside patio). Also, if you're looking for a change of scene, the park bench overlooking the pond is wonderfully relaxing.
In the summer, swim, suntan, forage for beach treasures, or take the canoes or kayaks out for a paddle – or enjoy spectacular storm watching in the winter. More than likely, you will see the local seals, otters and, if you’re lucky, even a whale pass by. A gaggle of geese, a couple of bald eagles, owls, and of course our beloved blue herons are frequently perched within view. In the evening, gaze into a crackling fire in the seaside fire pit (or gas fire pit if burning restrictions are in effect) or enjoy the silence and splendor of the star-filled sky. For the cycling enthusiasts, grab the bikes and set out on the Lochside Trail which runs right past the front gate.
We very close to all the great sites: Sidney by the Sea – 5 km (3 miles); Butchart Gardens – 10 km (6 miles); and, Downtown Victoria – 20 km (12 miles).
There's bus transportation right at the property entrance and we are close to all major transportation hubs: - Victoria International Airport – 4 ½ km (2 miles) - Swartz Bay Ferry Terminal – 10 km (6 miles) - Anacortes / Sidney Ferry Terminal – 5 km (3 miles).
Sidney by the Sea boasts fabulous restaurants, shops, and grocery and liquor stores. There’s a farmer's market every Sunday morning (in the summer months) with vendors offering everything from locally produced wines and ciders, locally grown produce, handmade jewelry by local artisans, handmade soaps, home-made breads, jams, fudge, food trucks, live entertainment and so much more.

Summary: We had a great stay. The place is absolutely gorgeous and wonderfully decorated and outfitted. The kitchen had everything and it was all high quality and well cared for. The beds and couches were very comfortable. There were tons of spots to relax inside and outside to enjoy the view. We also loved having the dogs come visit to say hi and get pets and belly rubs.

Summary: I was excited to share the Northwest with my siblings from Colorado and Virginia, and Heron's Retreat did not disappoint! Rarely does a property exceed expectations, but this one definitely did. From the moment we pulled through the gate to enter the gorgeous grounds until we had to depart (way too soon), every detail was perfect. It helped to have sunny skies and perfect temperatures, but I almost wish it had been cooler so we could enjoy the fire pit (s). The 3 bedroom home was immaculate and a chef's heaven. We were particularly impressed by the gourmet grill and the very well furnished kitchen. The other guests on the property were very nice and it was not at all intrusive to share the common areas with them. Although we did not make use of the water toys and lawn games, we'd all like to return to play some more. Many thanks, Cheryl, for sharing this lovely home with us.

Summary: The property is wonderful, fully equipped for a fun stay, beautiful views, and fabulous location. We were so pleasantly surprised by the village of Sidney which had really fun shopping, a bakery, liquor stores, and restaurants. It was perfect to visit Victoria and the return to the sanctuary of this property!

Summary: Cheryl’s property is absolutely beautiful. The grounds are immaculately kept and the location can’t be beat. There was plenty of room for people to spread out and enjoy everything the property had to offer. Seems we missed the Orcas by a few days but we did see seals and bald eagles and some star fish when we walked the beach. The sunset was fantastic. The inside of the house is just as lovely as the outside. The kitchen had everything you could ever need and more. The rooms were as listed and the beds were very comfortable. Sidney is just minutes down the road. Cheryl was a pleasure to deal with, she responded very quickly to any questions we had and she even emailed us to let us know the house was cleaned and we could check in early. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this property to anyone and we would definitely stay again.

Summary: My family came here last summer and enjoyed it so much that we invited friends to join us this year! The space offers so many areas, both in doors and out, for gathering, playing games, enjoying nature, and physical activity. We grilled on the side deck, built sand castles and found sea creatures on the beach at low tide, we played chasing games on the large grassy area in the backyard, and we made use of the spacious interior that afforded everyone with privacy as well as space to gather. We took four adults and three kids out on the two canoes available in the boat house. We also explored museums and gardens that are a short drive away. It was a wonderful vacation for the whole family and we're likely to return again!

Summary: A group of 5 friends (all women) stayed here for a night on a bike ride. It was wonderful and the host was extremely accomodating for us. Exhausted from our bike travels, we were arriving early and we were able to check well before check in time. Thank you so much. The place was/is stunning! -Margaret
