We arrived at this Airbnb on July 1 and were greeted by our host - Carol. Parking in the designated parking spot, we entered through the private entrance to the suite. The pictures shown are accurate for the suite. The home is fully furnished with the bonus of wifi and pet-friendly. The location is off the main road - but the suite and yard are very quiet.
We did a ton of activity over the week, but it wasn't rushed because of the location of the Airbnb. Here is a sample of our days:
Day 1 - Local grocery store to stock up on food items (only a few minutes drive away). Visited Sooke area - Pedder Bay and walked the marina and watched the seals, Aylard Farm and Beach and watched my little dog jumping in the deep white sand, My Chosen Pizza!
Day 2 - Sandcut Beach - hiked to the waterfall which you can walk behind! Stopped at French Beach.
Day 3 - Bought firewood from the local hardware store and booked a site at French Beach Provincial Campground for the day - fire, hiking, beach, hot dogs, and marshmallows!
Day 4 - Beacon Hill Park in Victoria - paved trails, bridges, herons, turtles, hummingbirds, flowers, trees, picnic spots. Fantastic place for photographers.
Day 5 - Goldstream Provincial Park and Chemainus. Friendly town with a great meural walk.
Day 6 - Cooked a breakfast from the local farm stands - fresh eggs, plum jelly and raspberries with apple sausage from Glenwood meats. Hiked Whiffen Spit area and drove to Sooke potholes!
Great relaxing week. Carol had yard work done during our last day to open up the view even more. She surprised us with an unexpected gift for any inconvenience the noise may have caused. So kind and thoughtful.
I would definitely recommend this Airbnb. Thank you, Carol, for sharing your home and amazing view!
