Our stay at Marina House was so lovely. Thank you Dauphin for being such a warm and welcoming host! The house is cozy and we spent many evenings sitting on the back deck and using the BBQ grill.
We loved walking down to the pier to stroll along the beach and hang out at the clubhouse; the clubhouse patio has a spectacular view of the water. During our time here we saw so many different animals, including seals down by the pier, and also a doe who’d meet her stag every evening without fail in front of The Seat Chest (a coffee date!). Our neighbours were friendly and welcoming, and we loved getting to know them. We brought our dog along for the trip and she had a blast too; the space is very animal-friendly. Nearby is Aylard Farm/East Sooke Park, which has many things to do—scenic hiking trails, sand and rock beaches, petroglyphs on rocks. This was our first time in Sooke and at the Marina House, and it surely will not be our last.
