You won't want to leave!
We couldn’t imagine a better place for a family vacation. We came here with our three young grandsons (1,4 and 10) and six adults and it was perfect for us. First of all THE VIEW. The back deck faces a gorgeous view of the Pacific ocean, including a hot tub that we enjoyed at the end of the day with a glass of wine. Sandgate is a comfortable, roomy, well-maintained family cottage. Unpretentious - so we felt comfortable letting the kids run around, but well set-up for adults to have a good time. We have never been in a rental that was so well equipped – nearly everything you could need, they have thought of. The owner Paul was very friendly and helpful, before and during our stay. Warning: If you book this place, you won’t want to leave.

The Perfect Beach House
We recently stayed at Sandgate for 5 nights as a multi-generational family of nine to celebrate 2 birthdays - we couldn’t have picked a better house, location, or host for our group. And perfect sunny weather every day was the icing on the cake! There were so many beach toys (kayaks, paddleboards, etc.) provided, along with bicycles, and lawn games (bocce)! It was very much appreciated that lifejackets and helmets were also available. We used the pool table, but all the other many indoor games were not used due to the great weather. My personal favourite activities were walking on the beach, and sitting on the balcony watching the birds, seeing people relaxing on the beach and in the ocean, and watching the cruise ships sail by. When we could tear ourselves away from the house, there is so much to do close to Metchosin. Some or all of us visited the Sooke Potholes, the Galloping Goose Trail, the Malahat Skywalk, China Beach in the Juan de Fuca Provincial Park, and Fort Rodd Hill and Fisgard Lighthouse. Metchosin itself is a lovely rural area. As others have mentioned, the kitchen is amazing, and better stocked than at home. What a treat to find extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar in the cupboard, to use with our focaccia on lasagne night! The whole house was very clean, and the linens were plentiful and top quality. Sandgate was a perfect setting for our family get-together, and we highly recommend it. Kudos to Paul for sharing his wonderful Beach House!

Marvelous Metchosin
The most beautiful views. Kitchen has absolutely everything you could ever need. Beautiful linens. Beach towels galore. Pool table and ping pong were a huge hit with our group. Croquet and Bocce ball were so much fun outside. Seating everywhere. Hot tub was lovely. We'll be back for another stay!
