Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Custom built five year old home in an area of lovely older homes and mansions. Two bedrooms plus a den upstairs, with two four-piece bathrooms plus a powder room on the main floor. A gas fireplace on the main level, along with a modern kitchen with a gas stove/range, makes this a lovely home away from home for you to enjoy. There is a nice back patio on the main level with a gas BBQ plus a view deck on the second level. This is the main part of our home, with a very quiet tenant in the other part of this well built house. We appreciate how quiet and beautiful the home and neighbourhood are.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our home is in the quiet and beautiful community of Esquimalt bordering on the west side of Victoria, BC, Canada. Downtown Victoria is minutes away by car or bike.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
From our home it is a short walk to the Esquimalt town area, where you will find all the basic amenities, beautiful oceanfront parks, beachfront walking trails, a recreation centre with pools and fitness facilities, restaurants, cafes, bars and more. Downtown Victoria is minutes away by car or bike, and a nice 30 minute walk along the harbour. Victoria has endless amenities best found by an internet search of all the Victoria has to offer. Victoria is one of the world's most livable cities and if you have been here you will know why. And Vancouver Island is well worth exploring, including places such as Tofino and any number of beautiful coastal communities. Vancouver is a very nice ferry ride across the strait, or you could fly airport to airport of better yet by seaplane. Or just relax and enjoy our lovely home and neighbourhood.
