Hummingbird Oasis
My husband and I and our dogs stayed at this lovely property. It is rare that we find accommodations that will accept it animals. The check in was very easy, the cottage was very clean and had everything we needed to have a great stay. The fresh cookies that awaited us when we arrived were stellar. There was a hummingbird feeder with nectar to refill it in the fridge. We watched hummingbirds come and go for hours. Excellent get away!

The cottage had everything we needed. We absolutely loved the country setting. We would definitely recommend this to family and friends that need a tranquil getaway. When we arrived there were beautiful flowers and freshly baked cookies to welcome us which we didn’t expect. Our overall stay was amazing.

Amazing place to stay
Ann’s cottage is an amazing place to stay, the view from the deck is beautiful and the cottage is comfortable and charming. I stayed for a long weekend and I wish I could have stayed for a week! Cheryl was a great host and made sure my check in process went smoothly and that myself and my dog felt welcomed. I would absolutely stay here again.

Needed time away
My wife and I needed to get away from snow and ice.We typically travel into the States for warmer weather. This year with all the commotion between Canada and the United States we felt it was better to stay home so Vancouver Island turned out to be our logical choice. It did rain Fair amount but we had several beautiful days. There are so many beautiful places to see and things to do.Location is definitely not luxurious but for our two pets and my wife and I to get away it was perfect a beautiful yard and quaint home to stay in exactly what the doctor ordered. Sure the coffee pot could’ve been a Keurig or something similar but that wasn’t what was needed. All we needed was a place to be away and this fit the bill perfectly thank you so much Doug and Cheryl we love Darcy and so did our pets.

An Amazing Stay In East Sooke !
We have stayed in many rental homes in the Sooke area over the last 15 yrs and have to say this cottage is one of our very favorites. Situated on the East side of the Sooke basin, it is very quiet and relaxing. The cottage was extremely clean, well equipped and very cozy. The fresh cookies and flowers from the care takers Cheryl and Doug was a nice gesture and they made us feel totally at home. They are wonderful people. Looking very forward to going back soon again. Thanks again, Gerald & Stephina Westlock AB

Memorable stay!
We spent 4 memorable days here with our 2 dogs and we had our “elopement” marriage ceremony on the property! The cottage, property and location was perfect! Cheryl, our host, was one of our witnesses and made our day even more special, along with Doug. Memories and connections were made for a life time!

More than satisfied with Ann’s Cottage. It was cozy, comfortable, very clean and roomy. Everything we needed was supplied. Host Cheryl was available for any questions…she and her husband were delightful neighbors, too. We would highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful and quiet stay.

An immaculate seaside cottage, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The hosts, Cheryl and Doug, care about their guests and it shows in all the lovely, personal touches. The location is close to beautiful East Sooke Park, offering lovely walks and the funky town of Sooke is just across the water, if you need groceries or restaurants. The walk along the ocean at Whiffen Spit is not to be missed!

About the host

Hosted by Cheryl

Host profile image
Hi! My name is Cheryl and I manage the cottage for my friend Ann....hence the name 'Ann's Seaside Cottage'. I live next door with my husband Doug and our Standard Poodle Lewy and I get great satisfaction preparing the cottage for guests...fresh flowers, Scones or Cookies and putting on my concierge hat if asked. We respect your privacy however quickly available if needed. Best job on the Planet😊

Why they chose this property

'Nature's Gallery' East Sooke's Logo says it all. Abundant nature and wildlife, fresh air, hiking and walking trails and so much more YET a short drive to Victoria 😔.

What makes this property unique

Ann's Seaside Cottage is situated on a no thru street on Sooke Harbour with easy steps to a small pebble beach, with a beautiful handcrafted picnic bench under the apple trees close to the sea...it doesn't get better than that....we even had a beautiful wedding underneath the apple trees!

The cottage is funky, clean, a well stocked kitchen, comfy furniture, wifi, electric fireplace, books, games, binoculars...a very cozy place to call home for a few days or a few weeks.
