OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS with this waterfront LEGAL Airbnb income-producing home in a prime development area. Formerly Across the Harbour Bed and Breakfast, this well-maintained property is the only one in Esquimalt zoned for both residential and commercial use with a legal nightly tourism rental license. With most Airbnbs now banned, enjoy premium rates, full occupancy, and significant development potential. Neighboring a marina and walking trails to downtown Victoria, the location is unbeatable. The main level includes the Harbour Seal Suite, with potential for its own exterior entry (design available), and the Blue Heron Suite, each with ensuites. The Blue Heron features a walk-in shower for accessibility, a gas fireplace, and a deep jacuzzi tub. Completing the main floor is the Owner’s Suite, offering a kitchen, dining area, 3-piece bath, laundry, and exterior access. This suite can connect to the Blue Heron for added space if desired. Upstairs, the Kingfisher Suite boasts a double-head shower, soaker tub, and gas fireplace, while the Orca Suite includes a skylit shower-tub combo. Both suites are beautifully appointed and far more desirable than a small hotel room. The solarium and adjoining deck, recently upgraded with new windows and six skylights, flood the space with natural light and feature breathtaking views of the ocean, marina, and park. A working wood-burning Hartland stove adds charm and function. On the basement level, a studio suite with a 4-piece bath is ready to use or could be enhanced with a kitchenette for additional rental income. The landscaped backyard includes an accessory building ideal as an office or artisan space, while a contemporary patio at the property’s edge offers stunning marina views. Adjacent to a large park, the property feels even more expansive. Rarely does such an opportunity arise, with C-7A zoning allowing for development up to 38.4 feet.
