Cozy and Private West Coast Home

The house was perfect for our coastal get away on the island.

The quiet serene setting was fantastic! Even though we had 2 power outages it gave us the chance to play board games with head lamps without the pull of electronics or tvs. It was a perfect Christmas in the dark! Our hosts were very helpful and gracious!

We have stayed at a lot of properties and this is one that we would definitely recommend to others, and we would surely come back to again.

The host was welcoming, everything was in good shape and we enjoyed the cozy setting.

Our stay here was absolutely wonderful! We were visited by wildlife in the yard most every day, enjoyed the nice landscaping, and sat on the deck looking out towards the ocean. it was an easy walk to Otter Point which is an excellent place for morning coffee and ocean views. The cul-de-sac was quiet and the house sits back from the main road a fair bit. The garage suited us well for all our outdoor gear and as a workout space. The town and people of Sooke are so nice - highly recommend a stay here!

A delightful place to stay. We loved it. Can’t beat the view, loved watching the deer and bunnies in the yard, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Would definitely stay there again.

Cozy and private best describes this gem. It was raining the morning of our stay, picturesque looking out at the ocean and the gorgeous landscaped gardens. We watched bunnies bouncing around the lawns and a deer standing on their hind legs nibbling the leaves off the tree. We were so mesmerized we didn’t get pictures, no one believes us. Thank you Tess!

We had a fantastic time. The house is small but well equipped and clean. It was what we expected and suited us well. The views are great.

We loved our stay! Spent a few evenings just relaxing on the deck watching ships go by in the Strait. A couple deer strolled by early one morning. Well-kept home with all the kitchen essentials. Especially appreciated the protected fenced area for our pup. Close to the beaches, hiking, and breweries.Thanks!

House layout inconvenient.

First off Tess is fantastic with communication so we never felt lost. The cottage is super clean and has everything you need for a lovely visit to Sooke. Lots of places to explore and go out to eat, or take back to the cottage or make your own in the well appointed kitchen. Even an electric kettle for tea folks! Birdsong all around, sweet bunnies hopping by followed by lovely deer. The view is spectacular to the sea and the seating areas perfect for relaxing. Don’t hesitate to stay as the beds are cozy too!

Cute little place with nice view from the balcony. Large room on the ground floor for the kids and beautiful property. Our family of four stayed there for a few nights in the fall and enjoyed our stay, although the place could use a table and chairs to have a sit down meal on the cozy upper floor. There is a table and chairs outside that would be great in the summer, but a little too chilly in the fall. Hosts were extremely responsive when we asked for extra stools for the breakfast bar. Pet friendly, and the hosts provided treats and a binder with local beach information for exploring. We really enjoyed our stay!

Very nice accomodations. Perfect for my adult son, wife and I. The pictures and the description do not do it justice. It really IS an ocean view, including the Olympic Range across the strait. We spent most of the time looking out over the straight or up at the night sky. It has excellent mattresses, is tastefully decorated, and has everything you need. (We were always saying, “do they have this?” “Yup “). Too bad we had to leaves our furbabies in Ohio, there is a nice fenced in area. Negatives: Noisy crows during our afternoon naps. Yep, that the only negative.

We loved this cute house! It was incredibly clean and well kept, and the host was wonderful with communication and quick responses. The property was on a quiet circle, very private, and we saw baby deer on two different mornings. Our son loved the legos and games they had, and we all loved the snacks/treats the host left for us - those were really nice touches that we weren't expecting. Nice location outside of town too - highly recommend!

This property and its kind owners delivered beyond expectation. The only thing that hinted at deeper problems were our dealings with VRBO. The extra service fees are frankly outrageous. I'll be surprised if VRBO puts this review on-line. VRBO is cumbersome, slow, and frankly, pushy. Again, the house and the place and the people associated with this property are lovely, the booking system not so much.

We really enjoyed our weekend. Tess was responsive and allowed an early check in. The house was very well stocked and clean. Beautiful views off the top deck.

This was a great location to springboard from for various hikes and attractions! The outdoor space was huge and beautifully manicured, the indoor space was cute and well stocked. The hiking/beach guide was thorough and very helpful! Would recommend!
