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.

Amazing lake front house perfectly secluded
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.

Enjoyable stay in East 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.

A perfect spot for rest and relaxation...
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.

Privacy and great view
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
