Wonderful Surfside cottage
Property is wonderfully maintained and the views are out of this world. Steps from the garage to the house are a bit steep for handicapped but definitely manageable. Property was clean, well equipped and the hostess Innes was a delight to deal with. We would definitely stay there again. thanks of your hospitality

Surfside Cottage
This is an amazing property with beautiful views.There are ocean views from every room. The cottage is very clean and comfortable. It has everything you could need. The property has many outdoor areas to explore, including access to a private beach.There is even a hot tub for soaking after long hikes. The location is very convenient. It's close to many hikes and beaches, but only a short drive from town. We had a wonderful stay at Surfside Cottage.

Absolutely gorgeous!
Surfside Cottage is so comfortable, well equipped and spotlessly clean. The location and view is unsurpassed. We had a wonderful time and did not want to leave. A beautiful piece of property. It is in a good location in that Sooke and the hiking trails are an easy drive. Note that the second bathroom is accessible by going outside and down some stairs; a detail we missed in the property description. A wonderful vacation!

Relaxation with a view
Very comfortable, very clean, well equipped and very well managed. The view from one of three decks is picture postcard! Relaxing in the hot tub while looking at the wonderful view is special! A wonderful place to relax and enjoy all the beaches and hiking of the southwest coast of the island. Hope to return!

Don't Hesitate!
If the posting on the VRBO site looks good to you, be prepared - the actual property is even better when you're there in person. Of all the vacation rentals that we have stayed in over many years, this ranks right up there with the very best. The amenities have everything that you could wish for - there wasn't a single thing that we could think of as being something that was lacking. The beds were really comfortable (we didn't use the third bedroom - but it looked like it would be fine for maybe teens or pre-teens). Communication with Ines was excellent - prompt & totally easy while still giving us privacy. As a base for exploring the coast as far as Port Renfrew to the north, as well as in the other direction to Victoria, this is an excellent location (you just have to have some patience with the Sooke traffic!) If you just want a spot to relax & "chill" with a "to die for" view, then you can't go wrong with Surfside Cottage. The decks & the hot tub provide a wonderful opportunity to watch the marine life & the shipping traffic; if you do get some west-coast rain, then the picture windows & the fireplace (wood provided) are a great (& cozy) alternative. We'd love to think that we might be back here again one day.

Fantastic stay and lovely property. I would stay there again. It sleeps 6 but only 5 beds. Easy check out and check in. Private beach and hot tub were excellent.
