The house was a great place for our family to spend a few days sightseeing around the Sooke area. The huge grounds meant the kids could play games and generally have a blast outdoors. The kitchen upstairs was very functional, and we made good use of the barbecue outdoors as well. The beds were comfortable and very clean. I would have given the place a higher rating on location except for one thing. The beach/water access is not far away, but certainly not accessible except by car. We had thought this would be the case when we booked so we did not see it as a real drawback. Good value overall and the hosts were very responsive.
