Dreaming By The Water

Waterfront Relaxation! With your own private covered deck to enjoy, while watching boats, seals, sea lions & the occasional Orca Killer Whale. Watch the water, and all the activity on it, while dining inside, or lounging on the couch. Completely renovated . Everything you need for comfort and convenience, and an enjoyable vacation. Fast Wi-Fi and free parking for 1 vehicle. Fireplace and large TV. Within walking distance to all the shopping, restaurants, grocery stores and shops. Don't be surprised if you see an Otter, or Black Bear crossing the yard! Climb down to the beach via our stairway, stopping along the way, on one of the multiple decks with some refreshments, if you like. Or, just sit on those decks and listen to the multiple birds, all singing their hearts out. Close to all hiking trails, boat launch tours for fishing or whale watching. Blackout curtains and shutters provide for a late morning wake up if needed.

I had an amazing stay here. The scenery was beautiful (ocean), it was probably the cleanest place I've ever stayed and check in was so easy. The owners were wonderful and made my stay even better while giving me my space. The location was perfect. It was outside of the city but close enough to enjoy the amenities of the city including the airport. It was my first time to Vancouver Island and what a beautiful place. I saw seals, sea lions and whales.

This was my “home away from home” while on a work assignment. Very comfortable for my needs. Jennifer was really easy to work with. Would definitely stay here again if available. Great location on the water

Sooke reprieve

This suite was perfect for me while working in Sooke. The location was very convenient. It had all the amenities I needed. Nice deck space to enjoy the ocean view. A box of tissues was the only thing I could have used. Jennifer was very helpful and easy to communicate with.

Beautiful View

Waking up to mountains, the ocean and fishing boats is an experience we should all get to enjoy. There is also a resident sea lion who announced himself on a regular basis. One day there were a orcas cruising around. Probably looking for a tasty sea lion snack! I would go back. Nothing more needs to be said.

Tranquil Sanctuary

Just what we needed to get away from the snow and cold for nearly a week. Perfect for the two of us, had everything we needed. If anything was missing (oven mitts) a quick text to the owner fixed it. Our own deck which we would have used more in warmer temperatures. A lovely new staircase down to the shoreline. Sunrises out the kitchen window/deck and sunset colours in the evenings. Easy walking and driving distance to restaurants and other amenities (drugstores, grocery stores, etc.). Tons of local hiking trails a short drive/walk away as well. Some traffic noise during the day but never an issue while we were trying to sleep. Highly recommend and we will be back!
