This was a perfect get away for us to escape the heat of Colorado for a month. The cottage was perfect - a great location for exploring the southwest part of the island. It was a short drive to Victoria and yet far enough away to feel like we were not in the city. There were many beaches and lots of nature to explore. The kitchen and the cottage are well equipped. Sooke is only 10 minutes aways with enough shopping options to avoid going into the city. There are also a number of small farm stands selling fresh produce in the area. Kim and Vince are very attentive, responsive, and had lots of great recommendations for things to do. Highly recommend.
