The ocean view was just what we were looking for. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed for our two week stay. It's a little ways out of town but the serenity and beauty made up for that. We would definitely recommend it and we'll be back for sure!

The property had a lovely view of the Sooke basin from the brand new deck which was constantly visited by hummingbirds. The large, beautiful yard was perfect for our dog. Lots of privacy. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed. The host was very responsive and helpful.

We enjoyed our stay at Ann's cottage. Cheryl was an amazing hostess. She checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed. We were greeted, upon entry, to home made scones and jam!! What a treat. We would stay there again upon a visit to Vancouver Island.

This is truly a home away from home. Everything you need is already in the house, except your food of course. There is a small corner store 5 min away but Sooke is about a 30 min drive. If quiet and isolation is important, this is the perfect place. The cabin was perfect for us, old fashioned and a very comfy. We felt welcome upon arrival with home made scones, flowers, and dog treats! Cheryl made every attempt of making sure we had all of our questions answered throughout our 2 week stay. Ann’s cottage was perfect for us.

Ann’s Cottage was very comfortable ( 3 Adults large dog) and well supplied, from the kitchen, to the many books, puzzles and games. It was also spotless upon our arrival. The highlights were the beautiful new deck, which has water views and a private beach, the peaceful vibe and the special touches-fresh flowers, homemade scones and jam upon arrival. Not to mention a bowl of dog biscuits. The location is perfect for exploring East Sooke Park. It is only a 20 minute drive to Sooke, the gateway to many coastal beaches on your way up to Port Renfrew. Cheryl is a wonderful host and our dog Bo had a puppy date with her dog Lewy. It felt like a home away from home. We will be back!. Bev,Rai,Susie and Bo

Thank you for your review and for reminding future guests that we are rural. As you look across Sooke Harbour from the deck you can see the quaint township of Sooke where you will find grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations, pharmacy, clinics, liquor stores, artists and much more but it takes you 20 minutes to drive there however we have our much loved East Sooke Grocers 10 minutes away and they have just about anything you need in a pinch plus lovely locals to serve you! There are also food trucks and a huge Sasquatch standing guard!

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 who is very friendly yet looks like white lightning when racing to the gate to say 'Hi'. My goal (that I gratefully work toward) is to ensure that guests feel welcome the moment they walk through the door...fresh flowers, Scones or Cookies await and I will happily put 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.
