About this property

Ocean Front Cottage in Sooke on Vancouver Island Kayaking Hot Tub

Free farm fresh eggs during your stay! New Hot Tub!

The cottage and hot tub are sanitized between each use according to the BC Centre for Disease Control. All linens and towels are washed on the sanitized cycle.

Due to the nature of the terrain, the property is only suited for adults. No pets or smoking on the property please. We provide scent free shower products.

This is an intimate cottage on the ocean. You can fish for salmon and halibut, kayak among seals, mountain bike as far as you like, surf , go whale watching or enjoy a quiet evening in the hot tub or in front of the indoor fireplace.

We have a 1.2 acre south facing property on Sooke Basin, a protected bay off of the Pacific. It's salt water but you'd think that it was a lake. Calm as a mill pond most days. You'll wake to the sounds of ducks, geese, swans, eagles and snorting seals.

We're located in Saseenos which is in a microclimate known to have the sunniest and mildest winters in Canada.

The cottage is set on an oceanfront corner of our property, with the main house set further back and on the other side of a fence. Although this is a shared property, you'll have lots of privacy.

The cottage is suitable for a maximum of 2 adults. The bedroom has a queen bed. The main room consists of a kitchen, dining and living room. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook, except food. Coffee and tea are provided. There is a dishwasher. The bathroom has a soaker tub and a separate shower. Linens and towels are provided. There is a new private hot tub on the cottage deck on the ocean side. We have a large 220 foot dock and a smaller deck that you are welcome to utilize. There is a rocky beach when it's low tide. The kayaks and lifejackets are available to use. Lots of charters available nearby if you'd like to go whale watching or fishing.

If you like to stay busy, there's lots to do. The Galloping Goose Trail is at the end of our street and is perfect for a morning run, bike ride or hike. The town of Sooke has fabulous restaurants and the nearby beaches are breathtaking.

You'll feel like you're in the middle of nowhere but we're 5 minutes from the town of Sooke where you'll find grocery and liquor stores, Shopper's Drug Mart, banks, Tim Horton's and a variety of other stores/restaurants. Costco and other favorite stores are about 20 minutes away. We're 25 minutes to downtown Victoria.

This is truly paradise. The cabin can be used year round. This specific area of Sooke is known to have milder winters and the summers are often warm and sunny.

The perfect relaxing kid free getaway
The cottage was exceptionally clean, well cared for and had all the amenities we needed and more. Danny welcomed us shortly after we arrived and made sure we knew where to find everything, and had helpful local recommendations. We had the most beautiful weekend hiking, relaxing and eating good food. We will definitely be back!

Cozy Cabin (Peddle, Paddle & Pub Adventure)
A stunning view from every window, decks and the private hot tub! Stocked with everything needed for our romantic stay, including logs for the cozy wood burning fire. We paddle boarded around the Basin and biked to the Pot Holes and Ocean Brewing Pub. We will definitely return, as we had a magical 3 night stay here👍

Perfect Getaway
We had a wonderful time, the property was beautiful. It was wonderfully peaceful and private with gorgeous views. Several amenities were a short drive away (groceries, restaurants etc). The hot tub was the perfect temperature and so relaxing. Can't wait to come back for another visit.

Lovely private getaway
Fabulous property in Sooke. We stayed for six nights and enjoyed watching the seals and kingfishers while sitting out on the dock drinking local cider. The beaches were great to explore and everyone we met was friendly and chill. Would definitely love to come back.

Absolutely outstanding cottage beside the ocean
Owners have built and furnished a cottage that exceeds five stars - kitchen with fully stocked Keurig coffee maker, bathroom with deep tub and rainmaker shower and, outside, a completely private hot tub. Owners respected our privacy but were always immediately available to answer questions.
