Welcome to The Mermaid Suite Waterfront Vacation Rental in Victoria, BC

THIS may be the Victoria vacation condo you have been looking for!

Hugging the harbour's edge, this west-facing luxuriously furnished rental sees up close the changing harbour activity below.  Since there is NO road running in front of this building, the center-front position of this condo looks onto views of the waterway undisturbed by downtown streets or traffic noise and fumes. Here you can have scenic peacefulness downtown because the Mermaid Suite is a waterfront condo - not a distant waterview condo.

And yet, there is instant access to downtown amenities and recreation immediately upon exiting the building.  Although the Mermaid Suite is fully equipped for self-catering, within a 2 to 12 minute walk from the condo, there are at least 10 wonderful restaurants serving a wide range of tasty choices at a complete range of prices. Less than 8 minutes’ stroll away are the many and varied shops of Government Street.

Coffee, anybody? Victoria is coffee mad, and many such shops are tucked away on the streets nearby. Enjoy, too, the many theatres, antique shops, department stores, and shopping opportunities within walking distance of the Mermaid Suite.

A leisurely 15 minute stroll along Victoria's harbour brings you to the beautiful Inner Harbour. There you will find the iconic and majestic Fairmont Empress Hotel, the world renowned BC Museum, and the stately Parliament Buildings. Victoria is, after all, the capital of the Province of British Columbia, and so it is dressed up accordingly. The Parliament Buildings at night are a fanciful spectacle of fairy lights that should not be missed.

From the Mermaid Suite, you can be in a kayak in 5 minutes – a shop is on the Pier just outside the building’s front door. You can rent bikes all over the city and ride for miles on the fabulous Galloping Goose Trail which has an entrance point across the water from the condo.

Too energetic? Try the Victoria Harbour Ferries – the little aquabuses that toot around the Harbour and Gorge waterway, and stop regularly at our own building's wharf.  Or, go whale watching with one of the many companies in Victoria.

Don’t feel even that active but want to get out? Walk. Downtown Victoria is very easy to stroll around, and has many pockets of interest: Bastion Square, Trounce Alley, the Fort Street antiques area, Dallas Road, James Bay, The Songhees Walkway, Chinatown, Beacon Hill Park. They are all enjoyable and all close to the Mermaid Suite vacation condo. Many of our Guest Reviews report: "We just walked ...".
 
But you can go further afield. Take your car out of our dedicated underground parking space – or take downtown transportation up the island - to the world famous Butchart Gardens. For many, this is reason enough to come to Victoria, and you can spend many restful hours exploring its charms in all seasons of the year. With the car, you can also head out to Sooke, or the many golf courses in the area. At day's end, wherever your explorations have taken you, return to the Mermaid’s comfort to restore for tomorrow’s adventures.
