Kelly's East Sooke home is a very large and comfortable space right on the water with a spectacular view. We were visited by several peacocks and enjoyed a nice (albeit very cold, in late December) sit down on the dock. Although it has the feel of being "away from it all" you are actual not far from just about anything you may need. East Sooke Park is close by (you can even walk there) and the Sooke village is within 20 minutes by car. Although Sooke has a surprisingly wide scope of amenities, about 30 minutes away is Langford, which offers more still. The main floor of the house has hardwood floors, two sitting areas and two dining areas as well a nice big deck facing the water. There is a nice, well equipped kitchen which has not only the basics but all manner of supplies, including spices, condiments and some other food which we were invited to enjoy. We visited for four days over Christmas and had plenty of space and supplies to make a nice turkey dinner and several other family meals. The main-floor bedroom is large with a king bed and a TV and has a full ensuite bathroom with a tub. A second main-floor bathroom has a shower and the upper and lower floors have 2-piece bathrooms. The upstairs bedroom is also very nice with a queen bed, wood floors, a water view and a TV. Two additional bedrooms with queen beds are downstairs, along with a lounge with sitting area, TV and shuffle board table. A solarium off the lounge provides another great water view. The place is equipped with a variety of games and other nice touches that make it feel like a home away from home. The Sooke basin is serene, giving this home the feel of a lake house. This is a great place for a family or group getaway. We will definitely try to come back. Thanks Kelly!
