Sharon (aka Shawn) and John always provided a welcoming hello and wonderful conversation during our stay on the island. With their great location we were able to take their advice on where to go around the Sooke area. We were able to utilize the short amount of time on the island (approx. 2 whole days), by enjoying a swim in the Sooke Potholes and a breath-taking hike at the East Sooke Regional Park. We also enjoyed our stay with a sufficient breakfast in the morning and a relaxing hot tub in the evening. Even one night walking only 6 minutes to the good restaurant down the road. If you decide to stay with this fabulous couple you won’t be disappointed - also if you do, please give a friendly head rub to their dog Jacks for me, he was also a wonderful host.
