I had to travel to the area for essential purposes and Corinne was kind enough to host me after an in depth discussion regarding my reasons (as many people on the Island are feeling vulnerable at this time). What a special place this is! The cottage is welcoming, clean, well stocked and the bed I slept in was very comfortable. There is a wall of windows across the living and dining rooms looking out onto the ocean, which is mere steps away. I saw otters, seals, hummingbirds, an eagle and all sorts of other local wildlife. The location is perfect as it is minutes away from Sooke and an easy drive to Victoria to the East and a short drive to French Beach and to China Beach a little further out to the West. There are beaches and hiking trails all along the West Coast Road or you can just stay home, beach comb or lie on the couch and watch the ever changing sea. Communication with Corinne was friendly and easy and I will definitely be back to visit this special again should the opportunity arise for me.
