Peace and harmony
Adrian has fitted out his property with great care thus making it extremely comfortable to stay in. The views from the sitting room area are very interesting overlooking the bay, watching the many heron feeding at low tide. Sidney is a charming town and well within walking distance, about 20 to 30 minutes away. (depending on your age and speed!). We stayed for three weeks and joined the local library, however, Adrian has ensured there are plenty of books and games in the apartment . Eagles Nest is by a bus route with stops a couple of minutes away and for $2.75 you seem to be able to travel anywhere on the Island.

Eaglesnest sanctuary
We had a wonderful stay at the Eaglesnest. The property is comfortable; the light is warm; and the views and the location are superb. We spent hours every day in the sunroom, with coffee or a glass of wine, watching the many varieties of ducks in the bird sanctuary, especially the returning buffleheads! We took the kayaks out on the bay, walked or rode the bus into town, and explored the Saanich Peninsula and beyond. Adrian was a pleasure to deal with, always answering questions promptly - and pointing us in the direction of things to do. A very satisfying escape. Thank you, Adrian.

Gorgeous beach view in Sidney
We had a wonderful week in Sidney staying at this property located on Roberts Bay with the beach at our doorstep. Absolutely beautiful! The location is perfect - right at the water and about a 3km walk to downtown Sidney. The house is well equipped and very comfortable. I would definitely look forward to staying here again on another trip to Sidney.

About the host

Hosted by Adrian

Host profile image
As a globe trotting family Eaglenest was the choice in the world for our family home with Sidney and Victoria the friendly communities we chose to land in. In fact several like minded guests have gone on to become neighbours after purchasing homes in the area after a winter stay. We have updated and equipped Eaglesnest for visitors to allow us to continue to share our wonderful piece of paradise.

Why they chose this property

We love this location for the water, the wildlife (it is on the migratory seabird pathway) the walks along the shore and into town, the nearby marinas and restaurants for a morning breakfast walk... it is one of the most sheltered low bank waterfronts in the area and perfect for kayaking, clamming and just soaking up birds and otters of Roberts Bay.

What makes this property unique

Pink sunrises silhouette a distant snow capped Mount Baker and glints off duck trails across the mirrored waters of Roberts Bay bird sanctuary. Colorful kayakers launch nearby to explore Gulf Islands National park. Amble along tree lined All Bay road to coffee shops, corner store, massage therapists, fine dining and pubs intermingled with the marinas and yacht charters. Walk a mile or so the other way past the Thai and fish and chip cafe, the Library and Beacon Avenue shops and services.
