Surfside Cottage

This is an amazing property with beautiful views.There are ocean views from every room. The cottage is very clean and comfortable. It has everything you could need. The property has many outdoor areas to explore, including access to a private beach.There is even a hot tub for soaking after long hikes. The location is very convenient. It's close to many hikes and beaches, but only a short drive from town. We had a wonderful stay at Surfside Cottage.

Seaside Get-away!!

If a water view and hearing the waves crash onto the shore then this is the place for you. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our three nights at this great property. The hot tub was an added tub was a bonus.

Relaxation with a view

Very comfortable, very clean, well equipped and very well managed. The view from one of three decks is picture postcard! Relaxing in the hot tub while looking at the wonderful view is special! A wonderful place to relax and enjoy all the beaches and hiking of the southwest coast of the island. Hope to return!

Luxury oceanfront home base between family adventures in Sooke

Absolutely spectacular ocean scenery and up close view of sea life outside every window. The property is stunning, located close to everything in Sooke and close to day trips in the area. The house was cozy and beds were super comfortable. Equipped kitchen, gracious host and easy communication. Everything was perfect. Would love to come back!

Absolutely lovely

My husband and I stayed here for a quiet honeymoon and we absolutely loved it. The spot is just gorgeous, with beautiful views of the ocean complete with lots of sea life. It's clear that lots of thought has gone into making the cottage as comfortable as possible, with everything one might need or want available and conveniently placed (towels and slides by the door to the hot tub, robes available in the bedroom, easy-to-use hot tub cover). I can't recommend Surfside Cottage strongly enough.

Lovely cottage with amazing sea views

Our group of 4 adults stayed in this well appointed cottage. It was well equipped, clean and comfortable. There were lots of windows so not only was it light it presented fabulous views across Juan De Fuca bay. There were also plenty of outside areas to sit that had glass screens to create wind breaks. We saw sea lions and dolphins. Also had Bald Eagles fly over. Fabulous property!

Heaven

This incredibly well equipped home exceeded our expectations in every way. We spent hours watching the variety of sea life out on the ocean and luxuriated in the hot tub every evening. I have not slept so well in quite a long time. This is a great place to recharge your batteries and reconnect with loved ones. We’ll be back!

Surfside Cottage is Incredible! Perfect place by the ocean!

The VRBO pictures do not do this property justice! We truly enjoyed our stay at Surfside Cottage! The view is second to none. Watching the dozens of fisherman, cruise ships & the mountains of Olympic National Park in Washinton State was indeed a pleasure. Accessing the private water front is amazing. The kitchen has every small appliance or kitchen tooll that you may need. The beds are very comfortable, listening to the crashing waves lulles you to sleep. We were disappointed not to have TV service while we were there. Other than that Surfside Cottage is amazing.

Wonderful Surfside cottage

Property is wonderfully maintained and the views are out of this world. Steps from the garage to the house are a bit steep for handicapped but definitely manageable. Property was clean, well equipped and the hostess Innes was a delight to deal with. We would definitely stay there again. thanks of your hospitality

About the host

Hosted by Ines Swansburg

Host profile image
My name is Ines, I am of Dutch descend but was born in Spain hence the spanish name. I moved with my family to Victoria BC, straight from the Costa Brava in Spain when I was 14 years old. Now, that is a long time ago! I am a registerd nurse and love my job in the community. I have two adult sons. I also love my place out in Sooke that I share with many people all over the world.It is the perfect place to get away from our busy lives.

Why they chose this property

This home was my first home that I owned and never could bring myself to sell it. Renting out month to month could not give me the options to enjoy it so the vacation rental option was perfect for us!

What makes this property unique

Peace and tranquility. Love getting close to the sun, fresh air and ocean breeze.
