Property Details

1891 heritage meets modern luxury! Unique curved layout with water and Johnson Street Bridge views from every room. Features 2 Queen suites, sleeper sofa, balcony, rooftop BBQ deck, gym, and fast Wi-Fi. Free parking included!

Property Overview

Experience the absolute pinnacle of Victoria’s waterfront lifestyle from a truly one-of-a-kind residence. Situated at 456 Pandora Avenue (Business Registration Number: BCREG00036407) within the iconic Janion building, Lookout Point tells a captivating story of two eras: part of the structure is a stunning heritage landmark from 1891, while the front half features a sleek, modern expansion completed in 2016. With its signature curved architecture and spectacular, unobstructed views of the active waterway and the iconic Johnson Street Bridge from every single window, this executive property provides an immersive, high-end home base for seamless 90+ day extended stays.

The defining feature of Lookout Point is its incredible proximity to the water—you simply cannot get any closer. Positioned right next to the bridge walkway, the unit’s curved floor plan floods the interior with natural light and treats you to a front-row seat of harbor life, from passing kayakers to boats navigating the waterway. Step out onto your private sun-drenched balcony to take in the fresh ocean air, or relax in the open living room styled with a contemporary dark grey sofa, armchairs, a Smart TV, and a La-Z-Boy sofa sleeper with a memory foam mattress to comfortably accommodate extra guests.

The home offers two dual primary suites, each appointed with a Queen-size bed, luxury linens, and its own unique, panoramic view of the bridge and water. One bedroom includes a dedicated WFH desk positioned right at the window for an inspiring work setup. Preparing meals is a pleasure in the modern chef’s kitchen, complete with warm wood lower cabinets, glossy white upper cabinetry, sleek quartz countertops, integrated appliances (including a dishwasher, oven, cooktop, and microwave), and a dining table set right against the curved glass. The spa-like bathroom features crisp white subway tiling and a glass-enclosed walk-in shower. For total executive ease, the suite includes high-speed Wi-Fi, central heating, a stacked in-suite washer and dryer, and a travel crib for families traveling with little ones.

Beyond the walls of your private sanctuary, you will enjoy premier access to upscale building perks. Unwind on the expansive, shared rooftop BBQ patio featuring outdoor dining tables and sweeping panoramic views stretching from the Parliament buildings to the open ocean. Long-term residents also enjoy access to an indoor meeting/social room with a common kitchen, a fully equipped resident fitness center, secure elevator entry, and direct access to harbor paths right outside the gate. Situated at the intersection of historic Chinatown and Old Town, you are steps away from Victoria's best waterfront dining, specialty markets, and cultural attractions.

Our stay was fantastic! The CIVV communication was perfect. They were immediately responsive, kind and thoughtful. We sure appreciated everything.
We loved our stay in the city. It was very walkable location. Just right for our trip. The rooftop deck was peaceful and a lovely place for our morning coffee. The kids enjoyed watching the bridge rise for boats, from the living room.

We enjoyed our stay here. The place is exactly as described, we liked how it was a very central location and could walk anywhere (and appreciated the free parking close by). The apartment is very comfortable and you get an interesting view of the bridge.

Great location - easily walkable to all the main attractions - clean modern space - proactive and responsive hosts with clear instructions; bright large windows - darker pull-down shades in the bedroom were essential and the AC and number room fans were very useful during the hot days;

Gorgeous views, floor to ceiling windows, convenient location, accessible to numerous restaurants and downtown activities.

Condo is beautiful and well taken care of, perfect for 4-5 adults.

Downsides include transients under the bridge right next door and obtaining access key at a different location (across town).

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to visiting this place again in the future!

Response From: CheckedIn

Glad you were able to enjoy our Lookout Point unit, it really is in a great spot in the hub of things, but yes the transients in downtown are a downside, which is why we keep the keys safely in a central location not located on the building. Looking forward to your next visit!

This unit was everything we needed for our getaway with friends. Spacious, clean, walkable to local shops and the harbour and just a great place in general.
It is pretty close to the Johnston St draw bridge which can be both a blessing and a curse. It’s a gorgeous place to see people and watch the seals in the water but also very open for them to see in. Some people commented on the amount of noise from the street but that did not bother any of us at all.
The only thing I think would be better is if the second bedroom had an actual bed instead of a Murphy’s bed.
I would totally recommend this place to anyone.

Location is great: close to great restaurants and easily walkable. View is beautiful. Host is extremely proactive: they reached out many times to give me instructions, and are fast in responding. Host gave recommendations for activities, discount codes, and free city-wide wifi, which is cool

Con: the following things are not bad, can definitely improve for future.
1. Check in/out is complicated / not convenient. I can either request for someone to drop off a key (not an option for me as I wasn't sure about my arrival time), or go to a lockbox elsewhere to pick up. We drove so it was annoying but still ok. Just imagine that you arrive with luggage with no car, and you will have to walk all the way with luggage in hand to do this. We also had to return the key to the same place when check out. Smart lock would have solved this easily.
2. Place was mostly clean but pullout couch was dirty inside (had chips, skittles, etc). Also did not have enough pillows for the couch guests

If a quiet location is what you’re looking for this isn’t it. The unit is located level to the bridge and there is a lot of pedestrian and traffic noise. Also, the area under the bridge right outside of the patio attracts local teens and young adults who like to hang out and drink, play loud music, and have loud conversations every evening. Additionally, there is no A/C or central circulation fan, and only three tiny windows in the whole unit that don’t let in much air, so if you’re there in the summer and it gets stuffy you have to keep the patio door open that brings in the fresh air…and the noise.

Otherwise it’s in a good location for accessing downtown Victoria where there is plenty of dining and shopping options. The building is secure as you need the fob to enter, and the parking is nearby. There was no easy place near the building to drop off the luggage so be prepared to walk a couple of blocks with your bags.

Great location within walking distance to the ferry terminal, downtown, and many shops/restaurants. As others have mentioned, this condo is a bit of a fishbowl with anyone walking across the adjacent bridge able to look in when the blinds are open. If you don’t take issue with that, the place itself was well kept and comfortable.

A great location on the water right next to the bridge and Chinatown. Very quiet and rooms have darkening blinds. Lots of kitchen leftovers from prior guests - coffee, spices etc. No problem parking but could be an issue during the workday or more touristed time. Don’t moss the view from the terrace on the too of the building!

Best location for water views, restaurants and walkability.
Chinatown is literally across the street.
Free parking with a pass card is at an open lot a half block away which is somewhat inconvenient as is the method for obtaining the unit keys at a Greek restaurant 1 km away requiring the opening of a safe attached to a nearly hidden staircase and then an inner keybox so try to do that before dark.
If you wish to avoid all that then there’s an additional fee to have someone meet you at the Airbnb with keys in hand but we figured it out for ourselves.
The unit is clean and stocked with what you need.
Two full bathrooms were a blessing and the water pressure is excellent.
I couldn’t figure out how to get the bedroom TV to work but I wasn’t in Victoria to watch television anyways.
The complex has an adequate gym available for a workout and requires a bit of sleuthing to find the door to it.
A rooftop lounge is also onsite for guests to utilize and the views are amazing despite the ongoing construction next door.
I definitely recommend this Airbnb despite the quirks mentioned and would certainly stay there again.

It is very modern, clean and bright. Location is fantastic. It is downtown and near the bridge so it can be a bit noisy I recommend keeping your window closed at night. The only downside is the parking is down the street in a public parking area which they give you a pass for but if there are no spots you are out of luck. Overall we had a great visit.

We recently spent a weekend at Lookout Point. The condo was amazing, location was incredible. We were able to walk everywhere and spend the days exploring. The view from both inside and on the patio was great, we could watch otters play in the water. We watched baby Canadian geese learn to swim. We enjoyed people watching all the foot traffic on the bridge. The check in, and check out process were the easiest we have ever experienced. We will definitely be back to stay!
