Sooke Cove Beach house is beautifully located, with a private beach and the sound of the waves right outside. Very quiet and peaceful. We saw seals, sea otters and sea lions, and also heard the sea lions barking at night. The house itself is warm, clean, well equipped, comfortable, and nicely decorated. The kitchen is well equipped. We were there the week before Christmas, and this also coincided with the largest snowfall in the area for 25 years, so we were somewhat snowed in. We also experienced a power cut lasting about 12 hours due to a downed tree on the power lines about a mile up the road - the heating and stove is all electric, but Wayne had a camping stove we could use to make hot drinks. The house is at the end of a driveway that slopes down fairly steeply from the highway, but we managed to clear the 18 inches of snow, and Wayne got use bags of salt delivered the next day so we were able to get out. Despite all this we had a very peaceful few days in a beautiful spot.
