Oceanfront Villa

4.95 out of 5 average rating, 39 reviews4 weeks ago

Lovely home. Sparkling clean. Excellent stocked kitchen. We all loved the espresso machine with beans provided. The heated deck and comfortable furniture was the best feature. We also loved the view and all the birds. The area around the house is not walkable though. It sits on a very busy road with no sidewalk. We couldn't walk our grandson around in his stroller. All in all a good home. Would book again. 😉

We had a great family holiday in Sooke. 9 adults and 1 toddler. Close enough to go into Victoria! (Even by e-bike!!) Spent some time on the Galloping Goose and exploring East Sooke Regional Park. We spent some time on the water and in the nice big hot. The beds were all very comfortable!

Our stay at Anna's was wonderful. We were a group of 4 ladies and we stayed for 4 nights. We were all impressed by how cozy, well stocked and clean the place was. The place was spotless, shower is awesome, beds are comfortable (twin bed mattresses are suitable for kids, not adults), coffee is provided. We walked to the beach everyday and the street was quiet and peaceful. Check in was easy and Anna was wonderful. Photos in the ad represent the home well. Great stay and we would stay again. Thank you Anna

Waterfront Suite & Kayak Beach for Sea Lovers

5 out of 5 average rating, 46 reviews6 days ago

Gary's place was absolutely gorgeous. The waterfront suite is private, with a stunning view of the water. Gary and his wife were absolutely charming hosts, the kind of people you would like to invite to dinner. The breakfasts were outstanding. Especially the lattes, omelettes and the Australian scones. The master bedroom was massive with an incredible view. The bathroom was deluxe. The whole suite was extremely clean, and we really loved using the kayaks to paddle around and then jump in the hot tub. They also have a fantastic outdoor shower and sauna. We also loved biking around the Island, visiting the Saturday market and we appreciated being close enough to walk into Ganges - which we did for a night to dine at Feast, also recommended. Overall, a very magical weekend.

Gail's House is a beloved family getaway filled with quirky and interesting marine and nautical pictures and gadgets so lovingly collected. It's very comfortable and right on the dock and the views are amazing. Lucky for us, we were there in prawn season and our hosts gave us the best prawns we have ever had, fresh from the water. I want to return.

Anchors Aweigh - Beachfront

4.86 out of 5 average rating, 44 reviews1 week ago

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay at this beautiful beach house. The location is peaceful and quiet, with stunning views of both the sunrise and sunset. Having private beach access was a real treat—we enjoyed walking along the beach several times a day. The house was comfortable and had everything we needed. We also took a short trip to hike Cape Flattery and visit the Makah Museum, both of which were unforgettable experiences. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy nature.
