Remember there are 60 steps to the beach so it’s hard to carry kayaks or canoes down.

Amazing getaway

Rob and Lynn are gracious hosts and happy share knowledge about the area. The property is one of the most beautiful spots we’ve ever stayed at on the island. Whether it was the day trip to Port Renfrew, the bear sighting or the amazing whale watching from the house, it was a trip we will remember for a long time.

Wonderful retreat.

This is a beautiful property with a view that takes your breath away. This property is a gem, my husband and I were looking for a quiet getaway and this did just that. The owners were amazing and helpful, the property was even better than the photos. The place was clean, well stocked and the bed very comfortable. We hope to return again soon. I highly recommended staying here the next time you are on the island. The perfect getaway.

Sophistication

We chose this property for the ocean view and location in relation to days trips (Sooke and Port Renfrew areas, numerous hiking trails and a day trip to Victoria). We stayed in the one bedroom unit and were impressed by the design, decor, amenities (both within the unit and the property as a whole) and the quality of construction. Had we not planned so many activities we would have been more than happy to just stay at the property and enjoy the view, the patio and the amazing stairs down to the ocean. We will be back!

Perfect Getaway

If you want to get away from the city hustle and bustle, this is a perfect location for you - just the forest and water, and nothing else around. The view from the windows and the deck is simply amazing. The condo is well-equipped, and Robert is an excellent host - friendly and helpful.

What a gem!

Rob and Lynn were fantastic hosts. Their guest suite is modern, clean and best of all is their property and the view is spectacular. So many areas to sit and enjoy the direct water view both indoors and outdoors. Rob was very helpful to us and even lent us his EV charger so that we could charge our vehicle. I would recommend their place to all my friends who wish to visit the Sooke and Juan de Fuca area.

Amazing property and view

We stayed in the immaculate one bedroom condo for a week. We enjoyed the spacious rooms with modern clean design and the great porch with fantastic view. The view can not get better than that. You can spend all day just looking for whales. We also enjoyed walking on the private beach in the morning when the tide was low, paddleboarding, great food in Shirley and Sooke. We had a great time. Thank you Rob! And thanks for letting us to use your car charger! I hope we will be able to come back one day. It was a relaxing stay, highly recommended.

Amazing Spot for a Relaxing Weekend

Rob and Lynn were fantastic hosts for a truly fantastic spot for a vacation. The interior is even more beautiful than the photos made it seem. Comfortable bedding, nice and very well-equipped kitchen, beautiful minimalist design throughout. And the location is incredible. We really enjoyed sitting on the porch overlooking the Pacific sipping our coffee in the morning, and then going down to the beach to relax during the afternoon. We enjoyed our chat with Rob, who gave us local hike recommendations. Can't recommend enough!
