*** For more information, please click Brochure button. *** Across the Harbour is a rare, licensed waterfront short-term rental on Victoria’s Inner Harbour. This 5-bed, 6-bath home includes a caretaker suite and garden studio, and is the only C-7A mixed-use zoned property in Esquimalt permitting Tourist Accommodation—an increasingly scarce advantage under new regulations. Designed for BnB or STR use, it features ensuite bedrooms, a renovated kitchen and upstairs loft and flexible indoor-outdoor living. This property’s unique zoning allows a mix of residential and commercial uses compatible with the West Bay neighborhood, providing owners with operational certainty and reduced competition in the local STR marketplace. Operate it as a Bed and Breakfast, which it was purpose built for, a high performing seasonal STR which the current owners have done for two seasons now, an extended family home, or as a turn-key, hands off, year round business utilizing the caretaker suite for live-in management. The lower caretaker suite with separate entrance supports compliance or additional rental income for long or short term rentals. Over $500K invested, with strong revenues and walkable access to downtown.
