Testimony: Vogue Suite

I thoroughly enjoyed my one month stay at the Vogue Suite. The accommodation was very comfortable and everything that was needed was provided. The location is perfect for getting to know the city with restaurants and shopping within walking distance.

I was impressed with how quiet the building was. You are not disturbed in any way. The staff went out of their way to provide assistanace and answer questions. I would highly recommend this Suite to anyone considering visiting Victoria.


Testimony: Morningside Ocean Estate

On behalf of the staff of Kee Tas Kee Now Tribal Council we would like to express our delight in the recent rental of Morningside Ocean Estate, Nov 10-14, 2008. We found the accomodations were breathtaking and the owners of the property were very helpful, friendly and professional. We would recommend this Estate to anyone wanting to experience a quiet getaway or retreat.

Thank you for your professionalism as being the booking agents for this glorious property.

Testimony: Ocean Point

Ocean Point is a beautiful house and we enjoyed staying there so much. The views and wildlife are awesome and I'm sure we will be back again one day - we had sunshine nearly every day and the sunrises and sunsets were amazing. I spent quite a few happy hours wandering along the beach studying the driftwood and jellyfish - I will definitely be including some of the fascinating shapes in my next piece of artwork. I will be recommending you to all of my friends.

Many thanks

Testimony: Neptune by the Sea/Taluswood Heights

Neptune by the Sea on Vancouver Island was an incredible property and was a pleasure to stay in. It was nice that the owner could ring us and attend to a query we had too.

Taluswood Heights was a good property and we thoroughly enjoyed our week there.

All in all we had an excellent time.

Thank you
Peter Smith


Testimony: Lakeshore Retreat

Testimony: Shawnigan House

We stayed at the Shawnigan Lake vacation house from June 30 till July 5 with our two daughters and sons-in-law. The service we received from EMR Vacation rentals and also the accommodations were excellent! We would recommend your services to our friends.

Once again thank you for making our vacation so memorable.

Testimony: Deer Lake Manor

We had a wonderful stay at Deer Lake Manor, the house and garden is fabulous, and Johannes and Marie-Louise made us so welcome, as did Duchess, their gorgeous dog. I really would highly recommend it, it is well situated, easy to get to the sky train, and within walking distance of the local heritage site and for walks around deer lake, having said that it is in a beautiful area, very peaceful. On arrival Johannes showed us round and had supplied us with milk, fresh fruit etc. and a welcome cake which was such a nice touch. So much thought has clearly gone into the restoration of this house, and every detail has been finished with perfection.

It is a place I would love to go back to some time in the future.

Regards
Kimberley


Testimony: Del Rio

My guests and myself thoroughly enjoyed the Del Rio home. It was truly a warm and welcoming home. The whole family LOVED IT!!!

Testimony: Gabriola Gabels

Hi,

I don't normally respond to survey but this property exceeded our expectations so much I felt compelled to let you know how much we appreciated our stay.

The home and grounds were clean, spacious, well-quipped and homey. We felt instantly at home and relaxed as we read books and looked out over the ocean, The grounds were lovely and the beds/sheets were better than any high-end hotel we've stayed at! We cooked a lot of meals in the large wall-equipped kitchen and dined in the dining room over looking the ocean. The decorating was very much to our taste and reminded us of our home. It was such a comfortable stay that our daughter asked to spend her 15th birthday this summer at the house and we had a nice celebration for her on August 16.

This rental was one of the best places we have ever stayed and I wonder if you could pass these comments and appreciation on to the owners.

Thanks!

The Biberdorf Family


Testimony: Neptune by the Sea

Neptune by the Sea on Vancouver Island was an incredible property and was a pleasure to stay in. It was nice that the owner could ring us and attend to a query we had too.

The greeter was well meaning but a little confused about the information he gave us when we first got there and he was not always correct.

Taluswood Heights was a good property and we thoroughly enjoyed our week there.

All in all we had an excellent time.

Thank you

Peter Smith.


Testimony: Tranquility Point

Hi Paul - a thoroughly enjoyable holiday destination - accommodation excellent and very clean. Great kitchen and so well equipped and what a stunning view! It certainly lived up to all our expectations!

Our greeter was friendly and informative and we would have no hesitation in the future of using, or recommending, your company.

Many thanks.

Sincerely,

The Howe Family Group


Testimony: Seaview Suite

Hello,

Thank you so much for arranging the fabulous Sea-View home in Lantzville. It was a Grade A property and our whole family felt right at home. Also, Jennifer, our greeter was very helpful and was quick to offer her assist with any concerns we may have had.

We would highly recommend your services to family and friends and look forward to booking again with you in years to come

.

Regards,

Gwen and Larry Jones


Testimony: Bella Via

We had a great stay at the above-the place was spotless, ideally located for seeing the City and everything needed for our time there.

Rich Dawdy was a great help with booking and answering queries from us, as was Isabelle who met us and helped us whilst there.

I will have no hesitation in recommending you and if I ever come to Vancouver again I will look no further.

Many thanks for a wonderful week.

Alastair Grant


Testimony: Morningside Ocean Estate

We had a wonderful stay, and our hostess couldn't have been more accommodating. The house is truly wonderful. I suppose, if I were to suggest improvements, it would be more couches or comfortable seating (seating was plentiful, but straight chairs) for that number of people replacing heavy comforters with layers that could be adjusted of course, paving the road -- but I wouldn't expect they will do that!

It was everything we wanted, however, and my family is entirely pleased with our week there. Thanks so much for your help.


Testimony: Bella Via

Very happy with accommodation, host very helpful. House clean, well kept and very well furnished with all mod cons.

Payments, correspondence etc went well.

Declan


Testimony: Hazel's House

Hi,

We had a fantastic week at Hazel's House in East Sooke. Very different from our first week in Deer Lake, Burnaby, Vancouver but equally as enjoyable. Again, somewhere we would definitely recommend to friends and family, and somewhere we would like to return to in the future.

The whole process of booking through your company was very straightforward and without problems, and the properties were both really lovely, in great areas. I would book via your company again in the future.

Many thanks
Kimberley


Testimony: Eliza Point

Our experience of booking our holiday through yourselves was excellent, and we were kept well informed at all times.

What a wonderful time we spent at Eliza Point. One of the best holiday homes you'll ever find! From the moment we entered this beautiful home we were delighted at the comforts provided. Everything had been thought of to enhance our stay.

It was a perfect place for us as a family. When we weren't having fun Barbecuing, soaking in the hot tub or playing on the WII, we were taking in the incredible scenery, which can be enjoyed from every room. (not to mention the humming birds, and deer in the garden!)

Highly recommended!
The Smith Family. (England)


Testimony: Hillside Garden Condo

We rented the Hillside Garden Condo in Victoria for one week from July 10-17 and I have to say it was a wonderful find. We truly enjoyed our stay there and the Condo had EVERYTHING we needed and more. It was in a great location, close to everything. We found getting in touch with the owners very easy and the communication between us and them was excellent. We definitely will and already have recommended this place and your rental company to friends and we will definitely keep you in mind for future visits to the island. Thanks so much.

Ingrid Bizio


Testimony: Covey Run

We had a lovely time there on the island, so much so that we may of bought a house out in Sooke. Thanks again Lori.

Testimony: Lakeshore Country Retreat

We just returned from a week at your accommodation "Lakeshore Country Retreat". It was great! We had full access to an awesome garden. Picking raspberries for breakfast made my vacation! The owners were on hand if we wanted them but not in the way. A great place to stay. Thank you.

Dorothy Mensink


Testimony: Beatty Place

Just back from our stay at Beatty Place and I just wanted to say thank you so much! The appartment was beautiful and the facilities (pool etc) and all the desirable features in the appartment were fantastic. Greeters arrived on time and Lori in the office was very helpful. Thank you all for a lovely holiday, can't wait to return!

Testimony: Eden 805

I stayed at The Eden 805 from March 31st through June 13th. The accomodations were perfect! The unit was the right size and in a lovely neighborhood. My greeter, Tim Bonner met me at 12:30 - 1:00 AM upon my arrival. He was extremely helpful in answering my questions, especially at that hour! Tim was able to assist and answer any questions I had throughout my stay. He even met me at 8:00 AM upon my departure.

A great experience all around.

Testimony: Brava 15

Thank you, Blake & to all of your staff along the way. Having these condos available downtown made our trip so enjoyable ! They were perfect, and am thrilled to have found your company.

This will make thoughts of a return trip that much easier !

It was a wonderful birthday (for me on May 29th)

Testimony: Vogue Suite

Just a few comments on our stay in the above suite for one week while in Victoria for our son's wedding.

The suite itself contained high end appliances, furniture and kitchen accessories. The beds were very comfortable. It was wonderful to stay in a place that was so self contained. Having a washer/dryer in the suite was a bonus.

The location in the downtown area was exactly what we needed and we always felt secure in entering and leaving the building.

A special thank you to Rich Dawdy who was always available for questions and very professional in all the dealings we had with him. It was also a pleasure to deal with Tim and Courtney.

We would definitely book with EMR vacation rentals again.

Thank you,

Testimony: Aspens 449

We had a fabulous time and the apartment was just what we were looking for. It was a great location, very well appointed apartment with wonderful facilities. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor hot tubs after a long day skiing.

And thanks for organizing all the snow!

We hope to be back again.

Testimony: Heritage Lane

Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay at Heritage Lane. It truly was a home away from home, with everything we needed on hand. Just a short walk to town, supermarket and shore, all were very convenient. A lovely quiet neighbourhood, despite the proximity to everything. We wouldn't hesitate to stay there again, should we return to Victoria.

Many thanks

Rental: Oceanside Suite

Dungeness Cove was a wonderful place and the Oceanview Suite was very nice. We were very lucky in that the other suite was not occupied the entire time we were there, so it was very quiet and peaceful. We liked having the place to ourselves.

The place was very well kept and clean both inside and out. Everything we had to use at our disposal was convenient and of excellent quality.

The owner was very nice and we enjoyed our visits with her when she was around. We also thoroughly enjoyed the East Sooke area and it's slow pace and the wonderful eateries that one found out on the endless curvy roads. We would indeed refer someone if we had the chance.

Rental: Deep Cove Garden Estate

Our stay at Deep Cove Garden Estate was spectacular. Everything was wonderful, couldn't have been better. We've already recommended the home to one person and will probably recommend it to others as well. Thanks for helping make our vacation a great one.

Rental: Oceanview Estate

I just wanted to send you our thanks for two great properties. The Oceanview Estate turned out better than expected for us. My Mother and the kids loved that they could go out each morning and pick fresh figs and blackberries for their breakfast! The location was a good jump off point for day trips, and we realized after going to Mayne Island for the wedding, that we would be limited in the activities we could do on the island for a whole week. We took your advice and got to Salt Spring Island for market day. Also, Sidney turned out to be quite a gem of a town. It was small enough to not feel crowded, but had all the amenities of good dining, shopping, and access to the water. We also made time for the evening market in Sidney, and enjoyed that as much (if not more) as the Salt Spring market.

The Horseshoe Bay property was also lovely. Again, it was nice to return to a smaller, quieter village after a day of hustle and bustle in Vancouver. We appreciate your assistance and will keep your company in mind next time we travel to BC.

Warm regards,

Tina T and Mark S

On the behalf of myself and my partners, I just wanted to say that the house was a great success and went way beyond our expectations. We will definitely be recommending EMR Vacation Rentals to our friends and family (I know I have already done so!).

Thanks again and I look forward to doing business with you sometime in the near future.

Rental: 3D Marinaside

Dear EMR Staff and owners,

Just back from Canada after spending some time in Whistler after our Vancouver week.

We had a tremendous time and thought the 3D Marinaside Condo was fantastic. The facilities were excellent and location perfect. Tim, our greeter was very helpful. If we had to dig very deep and find some helpful criticism it was possibly the lack of drawer space in the bedrooms!!

Having got used to the wonderful view over False Creek we can't think of anywhere else we'd rather stay, so on our next visit to Vancouver it will certainly be top of our list to check out availability. Many thanks for everything.

Rental: Sundance Oceanside Suite

The property is in a beautiful location with a great view (the hot tub by moonlight is exquisite). The property is somewhat isolated (this could be a plus or a minus, depending on what your vacation goals are - we liked it) with a great regional park nearby for hiking picnicking, etc. The amenities are very nice; she is clearly still working on the place, but she has thought of a lot of the things that people might want to have or to do (kayaks, games, hot tub, grill, etc.) It has a good kitchen and cooking tools and reasonably priced.

Overall we had a great time in a very quiet and relaxing location. We went hiking, kayaking and out for dinner at the spectacular Sooke Harbour House. Sooke is a great little community with some very nice features and the Sundance Suite is lovely.

Rental: Marinaside

We had a really good experience with the EMR rental (Marinaside - 2102)

Blake was great to deal with on the phone; the condo itself was very good (I was surprised that it didn't have air conditioning, but I recognize that it's not often needed in Vancouver). It was good having a few things in the condo -- basic cooking essentials, saran wrap, paper towels, etc., and the owner had left enough personal items around that it had a homey feel. We'd definitely use you again for a Vancouver vacation.

Thanks again,

Gary D.

Thanks again for the fantastic place to stay! It was amazing and we wouldn't hesitate for a moment using your service to find a place to stay again.

Rental: Heritage Lane

We loved our stay at the Heritage Lane house on Government. The house was conveniently located, easy walking distance to the park, beach and the harbor (we like to walk!). We loved exploring the little shops and restaurants in the area. The beds were comfortable (always important). I think the website stated there were 3 queens, but actually there were 2 queens and a king. The kitchen was fully stocked with cooking utensils and spices. The front yard was beautiful -- people stopped to admire the flowers. The table and grill in the front yard were a treat. The only glitch was no wireless internet, but that was resolved. We hope to stay there again on our next visit.

Hello and thank you for the awesome accommodations that we had while visiting Vancouver last week.

We spent one week at the Waterford rental and were pleasantly surprised at the location and the beauty of the condo. The photographs on your website were great but nothing could compare to experiencing it in person!

We plan on traveling to Vancouver again in the future and will definitely, without any hesitation choose to stay at one of your fantastic vacation accommodations. Both Blake and Tim whom we had contact with during the rental process were helpful and very friendly.

Thank you again for being a part of a wonderful memorable vacation in the awesome city of Vancouver!

Sincerely,

Hi Blake

Maple Bay Estate is a truly wonderful place, and somewhere I would recommend to anyone. Our stay was comfortable, well organised both by you and Ken Merry. The surroundings were to die for, and I can honestly say I have never stayed anywhere like it before. There were no negatives, just wonderful memories of a perfect vacation.

Once again, thanks for all your help, and hope we can book with you again.
