Beautiful property with huge picture windows, vaulted ceilings and stunningly beautiful views. Spacious rooms, gorgeous finishings, and a well-equipped kitchen make your stay comfortable. Apart from the fellow who lives in a small cabin next door and uses a small excavator, we had place all to ourselves. There is a separate suite in the basement, which was unoccupied during our stay. There is no cell phone coverage past Sooke, so (slow) wifi is your means of communication with the outside world. The TV can be used to play DVDs or can be hooked up to your laptop to play movies, but doesn't have cable or streaming. The stairway down to the beach is almost complete, and we were able to get down to the beach and walk along to Jordan River and the Cold Shoulder coffee house for delicious morning lattes and fresh muffins! The drive to Port Renfrew and some of the highlights of the West coast are definitely recommended! We visited Avatar Grove (very rewarding hike), had a good lunch on the patio at the Port Renfrew Hotel and visited a couple of lovely beaches while we were there. Also recommended is take-out food from Point No Point (closes at 7:00pm) and the 15-minute drive into Shirley to visit the Shirley Delicious cafe!
