The Oceanfront Cottage was amazing ... better than described. Neat, clean, quiet and very comfortable. We enjoyed our six night stay and couldn't have had a better first experience with aribnb. Pam and Norm were great hosts, right next door but they left us to our own private cottage but with us knowing they were only a few steps away if we had any questions. The view is perfect ... the wildlife plentiful: bald eagle greeted us on arrival, hummingbirds, gulls, swans, geese, herons, kingfishers, otters and deer. We watched the tide come in and go out ... the crab catchers and boats passing by. While in Sooke we did many things and saw a lot of the area from a very central location. Whale watching was probably the highlight after the relaxing cottage. We was several humpbacks on our excursion and enjoyed a morning trip to the Straight of Juan du Fuca. Thank you Pam and Norm ... you have a great spot on Sooke Harbour, thanks for sharing the cottage with us. We hope to return some day to the great spot on Sooke Harbour.
