The Poirier Cove home was incredible! The house was accurate to the pictures and description listing. Unfortunately we mostly had cloudy weather during our two-night stay, however the views and scenery were still picturesque and calming.

My husband heard a sea lion come up for air one morning just off the rocky beach (his back was to the water). The house was very clean, and incredible spacious for our family of two adults and one young child.

The amenities were more than ample. The kitchenware was lovely and made for nice dinner settings in the formal dining room with gorgeous water views. My daughter (almost 7 year-old) loved a stack of Archie's Comics in the basement, and all three of us enjoyed playing ping pong and air hockey in the basement. The fireplace worked fine without any issues, and despite being just off the highway, the location was very quiet and peaceful. The bright and comfortable living room with ample sofa seating really make us feel like we were truly on vacation!

Corinne was very courteous and prompt in her communications, and called us on the first night to check in with us and let us know that she would be off-line due to travel the next day.

I highly recommend checking out the Sooke Historical Museum in town, as we saw quite a few pictures of the Poirier family from generations ago! The museum has much more information and exhibits than one would think from the outside.

Our only disappointment that was that were not able to book additional nights at the house to fully enjoy the amenities and beach. It was not an easy trip for us to make from Portland, Oregon however we would recommend this home in a heartbeat!
