About this property
Architect Designed And Decorated Waterfront House, You Have The Whole House!
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 views were amazing! The wild life was spectacular. Eagles, seal fed in the Sooke basin right under the deck one late afternoon. We took the Whale watching tour in Sooke. We were able to see Humpback and Orcas feeding in San Juan De Fuca Straight. We’ll be back!
My family really enjoyed our stay here. Beautiful, relaxing views and a great location close to Sooke and not too far from Victoria. House had everything we needed and hosts were great at communicating.Thanks!
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!
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!
This was our 2nd time staying at the house. Was as wonderful as the 1st!! House was the perfect size for our group of four adults, and with the abundant outdoor seating options, everyone had plenty of space to enjoy the property
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.
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.
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.
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.
Gorgeous views. Just sitting on the deck was a real treat! We had fun watching numerous hummingbirds and a nearby eagle pair. A wonderful place to stay!

Relaxing Getaway
very quiet, with 10/10 view of the water, feels secluded, yet close to amenities, an overall wonderful 4 day stay.
Beautiful and relaxing stay at this outstanding property. Hosts were excellent and every need is anticipated and met. Sunsets are amazing from the deck or hot tub. We will be back whenever we need to unwind.
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.
