Our family had a very comfortable stay at Black Otter Cove. The cherry on the ice cream was the unbeatable view. I can just sit in the deck all day looking at the calm bay and enjoying the plentiful hummingbirds and shore birds, taking in the fresh ocean breeze. Inside the house, the decor is very artistic and tastefully done. And everything else to be expected in a house was there— tv, laundry, internet, kitchen and utensils, very clean bathroom, and very comfortable beds. There’s also an awesome hot tub in the deck. I only wished that I had time to rent a kayak from Victoria (none from the Sooke area rents their kayaks away from their docks/area) to explore the beautiful bay.
