My wife and I stayed in Kara and Loki's Cove House for five nights at the end of May and the beginning of June...and we loved it! As a get-away-from-it-all spot, it's unbeatable...even though you're just a kilometre off of Gillespie Road [plus a couple more to busy Hwy 14]. The setting--right on Sooke Basin-- is serene and bucolic...the hummingbirds love it, too.
The Cove House is the 25th vacation rental property in which we've stayed [since checking out of hotels and motels], and we've never come upon one that has been provisioned more fully: you'll find everything from baby lotion to umbrellas, from various herbal teas to books galore.
And it's such a fine place to use as home base from which to sightsee...and there's much to see: the attractions in Sooke itself, of course, but also the beaches west along Hwy 14, Hatley Castle's wonderful gardens in Colwood, Creyke Point and the pocket beach on Becher Bay in East Sooke Regional Park, and much more.
The Cove House is a real "find"! Search it out--you'll be glad you did.
