This waterfront cottage has a beautiful log cabin style with great views of strait and coastline, the pictures posted are accurate. The grounds are lush and well maintained, we saw quite a variety wildlife. There are new and sturdy stairs leading to the private beach. The water in that area is too cold to swim in but it's still a nice beach to explore. The cottage is cozy, clean, and well equipped with modern appliances. There's good WiFi but only roaming cell service. A landline is provided. The cottage is about 20 min from Sooke for main supplies and restaurants, but there are also 2 good restaurants just minutes away. There are many natural attractions in the nearby, parks, beaches, trails and whale watching, kayaking, canoeing, sailing in Sooke. Carol is a fantastic host. We would definitely recommend!
