Sooke, British Columbia
An architectural gem. Original design features of the house remain and combined with the spectacular view of the ocean, garden and forest combine to make this a very special property. The house has been carefully furnished to ensure a comfortable and relaxing vacation for couples or families. Fully equipped for a comfortable stay (linens, towels, kitchen supplies, kitchen appliances etc etc). Relax on the deck, the wood burning fireplace or one of the special seating areas located around the property on the walk down to the waterfront. Try crab trapping or swimming off the rocks, spotting eagles, seals and whales from the deck and waterfront. There are also many amenities and activities (restaurants, museums, zip-lining, hiking, fishing tours, kayaking tours etc) available in Sooke and Victoria only a short drive away.
The view was amazing. Home to come again in the summer months where we can utilize that beautiful outdoor kitchen. Our only wish was that it was more than a 2 bedroom
Perfect house for couple looking for a quiet location with stunning views of the water! Well-equipped and loved the hot tub!!
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.
This house has everything! The beautiful house would’ve been enough, but then you see the big, beautiful deck, then walk down the stairs and have a complete outdoor kitchen. Also, a big hot tub overlooking the water that we used every night at sunset. Walked on the steps and have another beautiful spot to sit and relax and read a book while we watched our kids kayak on the boats provided. My son used their small work out gym as well. Loved seeing all of the star fish down on our dock. We would’ve loved to have stayed longer. The property just kept revealing new things to do and see. Can’t recommend it enough! A must stay. And the owners are lovely and responsive.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about this property. The views were spectacular, the property was huge with so many gems. My husband greatly appreciated the gym, my boys loved the playhouse and we all enjoyed dinner on the patio each night. The kitchen was well stocked, the beds were extremely comfortable and the owners went out of their way to make us feel welcome. I’d highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a quiet escape. It is about 40 minutes from downtown Victoria and about 15 minutes to downtown Sooke.
Loved the panoramic view of Sooke Basin. Cottage was commodious. Proximity to the Regional Park was an asset. Did ask one question to VRBO and didnt get a response on the day before our departure. My husband called the owner once while staying at the cottage and she was accomodating. The website gave us the impression that kayaks were available for use, but they weren't without the owner coming over to assist. One person in our group found the outside barbequing kitchen 'spooky'. But that may have been a personal thing. AS an EV owner, there was not an outlet available from the outside of the cottage for recharging. Though given proximity to Victoria, this didnt matter that much.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - the house is perched on a hillside with beautiful views out over the water from both the living room and kitchen. Eagles soared above in the sky, we could hear the song birds throughout the day and often spotted a pair of loons on the ocean. The living room was comfortable and perfectly cozy with the fireplace lit with wood from a well stocked supply. There were plenty of blankets to be had for a comfortable afternoon 'sit' out on the deck or down at the bottom of a hilllside trail were two adirondack were safely perched with a lookout over the water. We could not want for anything in the kitchen - well stocked with kitchenware readily available. The master bedroom was large, and the bed was extremely comfy. We would certainly recommend this beautifully waterfront home.
Gorgeous property, feels like you can really escape from the busy city life. Such cool marine life to see right out front! Will definitely be back!
This trip was well deserved by all of us, and the property was amazing! This is a fantastic place to stay. Five star. The hosts were very helpful and kind. I will be back. So many extras and very organized . Thanks Jackie & Rodney
Our stay was to celebrate a family birthday on the island where our son lives. We enjoyed the views and the property as it was very private and had everything we needed. The kitchen was stocked very well with every utensil or dish needed. The beds were very comfortable. The Hot tub was my favourite! Thanks for sharing your home
This was a highlight of our trip to Vancouver Island. We really fell in love with this house and property. The multi tiers outside are so cool. Fun to have coffee in different spots each morning. The walk down to the ocean is a nice short mini-hike. It feels very private and the Sooke inlet is very peaceful and beautiful. Nice big king sized bed. Nice big bathroom with powerful exhaust fan (kinda loud to help with privacy which is great). Love the outdoor kitchen area with the hot tub! Having that extra space really makes the house feel much bigger. It kind of feels like a personal bar (fridge, HUGE mounted TV, lounging chairs and it is separate from the rest of the house). We booked another VRBO on the east coast and when we got there we immediately missed this house. I kind of wish we had just stayed here the whole time. Really special! Even better than the pictures make it look. We will be back.
Outstanding property and hosts to match. All you require is supplied and the views are spectacular! Thanks J and R for a great weekend!
Everything about this holiday home is perfect - the location is stunning with amazing views from all parts of the house and grounds. The house is extremely well equipped and the owners really have thought of everything to make your stay hassle free. There are so many different parts to the property but it all comes together and keeps adults and teens busy. We loved the deck/BBQ area, the outdoor kitchen/hot tub/tv area and the various viewpoints with chairs where you could sit and just admire the views. The owners live close by and were on hand to answer any questions we had. They were also able to offer advice on local things to do. Overall, this was one of the best VRBO properties we have rented and we would recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay at the south end of Vancouver Island
We loved this property! It had all the amenities one could ask for. Most of our time was spent on the deck enjoying the view. We definitely would go back to this getaway.
Loved staying at this vacation home. Beautiful views and the house had everything and then some for use. The outdoor kitchen area is beyond belief and the kids loved the hot tub. The beds are super comfy and the gas stove was a dream to cook on. Would definetely stay here again.
Amazing views from the deck; the house is fitted out with everything you might need; loved the hot tub. Very private and quiet. Couldn't ask for anything more!
