Neil and Shandell’s place was perfect for our annual girls’ trip. The location was private and woodsy, and within minutes driving to China and Mystic beaches. The home itself was clean and cozy feeling. We didn’t get to use the fire pit, but it was a cool feature. We enjoyed having coffee on the sunny back deck and slept well in the beds. My only complaint is the height of the bathroom vanity, because at 5’0” I had to pull a chair into the bathroom from the kitchen to apply sunscreen and put my contacts in haha. The location is perfect for anyone who’s looking for a quaint and scenic locale for their holiday, far removed from the business of the city (which is EXACTLY what we were hoping for!). Make sure to grab groceries in Sooke as there’s really no other option in Jordan River.
