Definitely one of the best Airbnb’s we’ve stayed at. It checked off all the boxes I insisted on for this week of our vacation. Quiet, clean, king size bed, kitchen facility, and on the water.
Location is great on the water and a few minutes walk to Whiffin Spit. We spent 2 days of our week just enjoying the water and sitting outside, either on the balcony or on the lawn with the chairs and table. Used the convenient BBQ with all utensils provided.
The room itself is plenty big enough for two with enough space in every area for what you need to do. The kitchen is functional with the minimum of everything you need and more. It was a bar fridge with no freezer but it was a very good size for all we needed it for. Nice snacks and drinks awaited us on our arrival and we partook of them. Bathroom was tidy and room enough for all your chores. Great shower pressure with lots of hot water.
Nice swivelling wall mounted TV with lots of channels should you desire that. Couch to relax on, table to eat at, and room to move.
The balcony was perfect for two to enjoy the views of Sooke Harbour, with ducks, seagulls, herons, hummingbirds and seals to entertain you. Outside the property we rarely walked/drove on the nearby streets without seeing unafraid deer roaming, it was delightful. And the foliage on the fence prevented anyone going on the beach from seeing your place, so added privacy there.
I’m very particular of my bed and I look for places with king size ones. While a little firm for me that is just a personal preference and I could tell it was a quality mattress with nice sheets and linens, no problems there.
Our host Diane was always available for help and she nicely took our ice packs the night before we left to freeze them for us for our journey to our next place. She was helpful with suggestions but let you have your privacy when you needed it. Wonderful lady.
When looking to book this week I went through many places and when I stumbled across Diane’s place and saw it met all our needs I was a little surprised at the price, it was so good I had to make sure I hadn’t missed anything wrong with the place. I hadn’t, it really is that good and worth more money in my opinion.
We’d definitely return if in the area and I can’t recommend the place enough. You won’t regret booking here, thanx Diane!
