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.

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.

The view was amazing. Home to come again in the summer months where we can utilize that beautiful outdoor kitchen. Our only wish was that it was more than a 2 bedroom

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

We came to BC with work, and fell in love with the island and the weather. We both enjoy hiking, biking and kayaking, and what better place to do all that than here.

Why they chose this property

Our work brings us all over Canada. (we splice fiber for the telecom industry ) My wife and I have seen some truly amazing places But they do not seem to compare to the AW inspiring views and feeling we get from the East Sooke house property. We hope you can experience it first hand.

Great views in quiet surroundings
We stayed there for twelve days and really enjoyed the house and the garden with all the variety of birds stopping by, the rabbit family living there and a deer from time to time outside the fenced area.
The view over the bay is stunning each time of the day and we didn't get tired of it.
We cooked every day, kitchen is well equipped and in good condition.
Our son is 6 and the shorter trails had been ideal.
Some nice beaches close by.
