Lovely property with amazing views
Cozy yet spacious property with breathtaking views of Sooke basin from most rooms and many different outdoor areas. Kitchen was well stocked and all the beds were comfortable. Great location for accessing the area attractions (coastal hikes, sooke potholes, ziplining) as well as Victoria. Kayaks are best accessed at high tide otherwise it could be tricky getting into them. Lots of steps down to water so if one has mobility/stamina issues, they may find the the lower levels of the property including the water difficult to access. Very clean and well appointed, still maintaining a unique feel.
We had a fantastic stay, the property was even more breathtaking than pictured. We highly recommend!

Very clean accommodations. House was perfect for our four night stay in July. I think this part of town was a great place for our first time to Vancouver Island. So many cool places to check out around Sooke. We enjoyed it very much. Thanks for having us.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property! The home was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed. The hosts were fantastic—friendly, responsive, and clearly put a lot of care and thought into every detail. There were so many great touches for kids, from games to outdoor activities, making it a truly family-friendly stay. You can tell this place was designed with love, and it really shows. Highly recommend!

Had a wonderful stay with family from Switzerland.
The property is stunning, pictures don’t do it justice.
Weather was great, so we were able to take advantage of all the outdoor activities.
Overall a really good stay!

Home was definitely as described, very beautiful, had all the amenities that we needed and then some. Enjoyed the Jacuzzi in the evening after a long day exploring the island. Highly recommend, be aware there are several steps, but definitely doable. Loved our time spent there.

Ideal stay
Wonderful property- exactly what we needed and were hoping for. Great helpful hosts. Plenty to do at the property and surrounding areas.
Two small negatives:
1. It’s a pity the property only sleeps 4. (The cot beds are really only suitable for really small kids).
2. We were really keen to try out the kayaks but the pontoon was a bit too complicated to use for beginners.
But these are tiny things and not enough to stop us having a great week. Looking forward to coming again.

Was my Moms 85th Bday.... so much to do and see here! I wish our weather was better but being able to look out to the water and nature around us was great. So much space and areas to hang out... we didn’t take advantage as much as we should have. Great for families and being outside.

Beautiful setting
The home is very well stocked with everything you might need. The outdoor kitchen, hot tub level is wonderful, as are the sight lines out over Sooke Basin. There are a variety of places to just sit and relax and enjoy the view. Our hosts were very friendly, fun to talk with, yet not intrusive. A very comfy, attractive place to stay.
