Ocean Front Cottage in Sooke on Vancouver Island Kayaking Hot Tub

Free farm fresh eggs during your stay! New Hot Tub!

The cottage and hot tub are sanitized between each use according to the BC Centre for Disease Control. All linens and towels are washed on the sanitized cycle.

Due to the nature of the terrain, the property is only suited for adults. No pets or smoking on the property please. We provide scent free shower products.

This is an intimate cottage on the ocean. You can fish for salmon and halibut, kayak among seals, mountain bike as far as you like, surf , go whale watching or enjoy a quiet evening in the hot tub or in front of the indoor fireplace.

We have a 1.2 acre south facing property on Sooke Basin, a protected bay off of the Pacific. It's salt water but you'd think that it was a lake. Calm as a mill pond most days. You'll wake to the sounds of ducks, geese, swans, eagles and snorting seals.

We're located in Saseenos which is in a microclimate known to have the sunniest and mildest winters in Canada.

The cottage is set on an oceanfront corner of our property, with the main house set further back and on the other side of a fence. Although this is a shared property, you'll have lots of privacy.

The cottage is suitable for a maximum of 2 adults. The bedroom has a queen bed. The main room consists of a kitchen, dining and living room. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook, except food. Coffee and tea are provided. There is a dishwasher. The bathroom has a soaker tub and a separate shower. Linens and towels are provided. There is a new private hot tub on the cottage deck on the ocean side. We have a large 220 foot dock and a smaller deck that you are welcome to utilize. There is a rocky beach when it's low tide. The kayaks and lifejackets are available to use. Lots of charters available nearby if you'd like to go whale watching or fishing.

If you like to stay busy, there's lots to do. The Galloping Goose Trail is at the end of our street and is perfect for a morning run, bike ride or hike. The town of Sooke has fabulous restaurants and the nearby beaches are breathtaking.

You'll feel like you're in the middle of nowhere but we're 5 minutes from the town of Sooke where you'll find grocery and liquor stores, Shopper's Drug Mart, banks, Tim Horton's and a variety of other stores/restaurants. Costco and other favorite stores are about 20 minutes away. We're 25 minutes to downtown Victoria.

This is truly paradise. The cabin can be used year round. This specific area of Sooke is known to have milder winters and the summers are often warm and sunny.

Just Okay
This property was just okay. The bad points: a dingy and dark shower, ants in the kitchen and completely dangerous and useless steps to get into the bathtub. The good points: the kitchen was well stocked, the private hot tub was nice and comfortable outdoor chairs overlooking the water. Overall, I would say this cottage is overpriced and would not recommend for older people. I would not book again.

A perfect home away from home
11 out of 10! This cottage made our trip to Vancouver Island and greater Victoria! Was a perfect home to enjoy a slow start to the day over coffee and waterfront views … and excellent evenings resting inside and enjoying the hot tub and sunsets. All the little details you’d hope for in a VRBO rental and great, welcoming hosts in Danny and Tami who you knew would be there if you needed them, but gave plenty of space so you could feel as though the entire property was your own personal oasis. Away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Victoria, but a short drive away from all the great excursions and experiences you’d want to enjoy. If ever back in this area we would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend.

Exceptional oceanfront tiny home
Thank you Tami. We looked forward to a quiet getaway, and biking access to the Sooke Potholes via the Galloping Goose trail. This well equipped and well planned tiny home was perfect. Sitting out on the waterfront deck watching otters, and sea birds at the end of our day was truly relaxing. Our hosts were very discreet but were there when we needed them. Thank you for sharing your wonderful spot on the Sooke Basin. Bryan and Carolyn

Fabulous Staycation :)
We had 3 wonderful nights in the cottage. It was even nicer than the pics - perfect seaside cotttage with every amenity including great spices/teas/coffee/ wifi/tv. Danny was there to greet us right away and gave us a quick overview. We didn’t leave the property except once for the Sooke fun day. It was too nice to leave! Great hottub and dock was lovely ! Even had a lightning show on our last night. Total relaxation - highly recommend :)

Absolutely outstanding cottage beside the ocean
Owners have built and furnished a cottage that exceeds five stars - kitchen with fully stocked Keurig coffee maker, bathroom with deep tub and rainmaker shower and, outside, a completely private hot tub. Owners respected our privacy but were always immediately available to answer questions.

Lovely private getaway
Fabulous property in Sooke. We stayed for six nights and enjoyed watching the seals and kingfishers while sitting out on the dock drinking local cider. The beaches were great to explore and everyone we met was friendly and chill. Would definitely love to come back.

For the very best Weekend Experience
We have been to many vacation homes but this one is our new favourite! The waterfront cabin is privately situated on the property, amidst beautifully maintained gardens and lawns. We were able to easily launch our sea kayaks using the stairs that lead down to the oceanfront. There were various decks we could use, with Adirondack chairs on the end of the dock, on a lower sun dock and bistro sets on the upper deck outside the cabin. The water in the hot tub on the front deck was crystal clear and so relaxing after a busy day of kayaking and bike riding on the galloping goose trail (right across the street!). When I stepped into the inside of the cabin I thought I may never leave! There are windows all around, leaving that view to be admired from every room. The bathroom has a large soaker tub from where you can relax in bath salts and gaze out over the bay. Each morning I would wake up to the view and the sounds of birds singing and the eagles and seagulls’ cries. We enjoyed the fire in the wood stove each evening while watching tv, fully equipped with Netflix and many channels. The kitchen has everything you need; lovely dishes, coffee mugs, wine glasses, dishwasher, or a barbecue outside. The Sooke basin is so beautiful to kayak along the shores. There are starfish, jelly fish and seals popping up everywhere. The shore line has gorgeous rocks, yew trees, wild flowers and lovely properties to admire. There are several little coves to explore. It’s a perfect stay!

Beautiful place!
My husband and I stayed here recently for 6 nights. We had a wonderful time. The hosts, Tami and Danny, were welcoming and very responsive to questions and requests, and otherwise left us to enjoy the tranquility by ourselves. The cottage is lovely and very comfortable (great mattress), and well equipped with quality furnishings and kitchen supplies. We also really enjoyed the hot tub. We would love to stay here again. The cottage and area have so much to offer!
