What a magical place. We had the joy of staying at Autumn’s seaside cottage for a few nights in September and didn’t want to leave when the time came to return home.
The cottage is easily one of our most favourite stays. Peaceful and calming, and a wonderful way to disconnect from the speed of our normal lives and soak in the Island’s natural beauty.
We loved waking up to the sunrise over the sea, watching the sunset fill the tugboat kitchen during dinner, and finishing off the day with a stroll down the road to watch the moonrise from Billings Spit. Autumn has filled her place with so many charming touches (we loved all of the plants, the binoculars for looking out over the water, and the magical fairy lights). The cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and it’s hard to beat the views while grilling outside or being able to wander around the garden and blackberry brambles after dinner.
Autumn’s place is in a great location for exploring the hikes and beaches along Route 14 up to Port Renfrew, but also tons to do around Sooke and East Sooke. We just scratched the surface of the local mountain biking, swimming, and hiking opportunities, and the cottage was the perfect place to come home to after full days of adventuring.
What a dream- we are already looking forward to our return!
