Outstanding stay near the ocean—highly recommend!We had an absolutely wonderful stay here! The location is truly unbeatable, offering quick and easy access to the ocean and a fantastic selection of nearby restaurants. It was also the perfect base for exploring the area, being just a short, scenic drive into Sooke.The highlight of the accommodation itself was definitely the bed—it has a great mattress that provided some of the best sleep we've had while traveling. Everything was clean, convenient, and exactly as described. We would absolutely stay here again!

The suite was clean, spacious bedroom and living room, nicely decorated, very comfortable. Perfect bedding! Enjoyed sitting on the deck among the trees taking in the fabulous view. Enjoyed coffee made with freshly roasted beans - by host! The host was lovely and personable. I will for sure stay here again.

Before we arrived, Doug sent us clear directions to the accommodation and shared some great tips on activities and things to do in the area.We travelled with our six-year-old doodle, and being dog people, we loved being greeted by Doug’s two Bernese Mountain Dogs when we arrived! Doug showed us around the accommodation, explained everything we needed to know, and was very warm and welcoming. The dogs got along wonderfully, and our kids especially enjoyed spending time with them.The accommodation itself was very clean, comfortable, and incredibly peaceful, surrounded by beautiful greenery with a lovely view of the lake below.We were very happy with our stay and would highly recommend Doug’s place, especially for families travelling with a dog. We would happily stay here again!

It was a lovely evening and morning. Doug was extremely helpful in recommending a walk along the wharf last evening and a fun little place for breakfast this morning. The dogs are beauties and we had everything we needed from our arrival until we left this AM.

Location was initially a bit difficult to find but ok once located. Dogs on site are friendly but bark whenever entering or exiting. the suite was clean and well equipped for our stay.

To help future guests that have trouble finding our place, in addition to the photo of our entrance on our street already in the listing, and the step by step instructions that get sent on the day, we’ll try to find a way to help those drivers that don’t have a driving app or can’t access the VRBO app.

The property was welcoming to pets and I did not notice much of the lake view because we were always on the go when we were there. It was peaceful and clean and had everything we needed. The guest host was friendly and left us alone. I would stay there again and recommend this lovely place to anyone. Thank you for letting us stay there.

My lady and I loved staying here! Everything was very clean and the host was very helpful. His two big dogs were loud but very friendly. We had a private deck to ourselves with a swinging bench-chair that we could see a terrific view of the lake below and the hills beyond. Pretty much anything we wanted to drive to in Victoria was only about 30 minutes away.The parking was snug but doable, between the car and the room was a set of stairs that some might consider to be a bit steep.The owner provided coffee, milk and basic bathroom necessities.If I were to spend another night in the area, I would gladly spend it here again.

This is a lovely place to stay. It was private and had a stunning view of the mountains and a little lake. We watched the sunset from the private patio. You also get the view from the bedroom and living room. We really liked the bed. It was so comfortable that we slept 12 hours the first night. It also had a nice small kitchen with a few goodies. Very dog friendly.
