The view is so amazing, to look out onto the water every morning was such a treat. The kids loved the heated pool and swam everyday, but the water was often too cloudy to see the bottom. The location was great as we were able to explore different areas of Sooke and take in all its natural beauty. We shared the house with another family and having only one shower made it a bit challenging (the other bathroom has a tub only), but still manageable. We weren't lucky enough to catch a bounty of crabs, but with the house crab trap available for us to use, the kids had fun hauling in a few to make crab cakes.
The kids were hoping to fish off the dock, but the house manual said that fishing was specifically prohibited from that location. All in all, the house was nice, it checked the boxes. Just watch out for the dishwasher door, the hinge spring doesn't prevent it from hitting the floor or your toes.
