Dauphin's place at the Marina House is an outstanding vacation house. Close to Victoria, hiking, beaches, it was a perfect place for our family of 6 to spend 5 nights. Dauphin and her family are extremely helpful and eager to share their beautiful location with visitors. We were able to hike every day, visit the harbor seals at the dock, enjoy Victoria, and relax at the marina house in the evening. The house is great! Very clean and fully equipped. There is no laundry at the house, but there is a laundromat close, in the town or Sooke, which in our opinion is a worthwhile town to visit. There is a grocery store there, and Whiffin Spit is worth checking out! We highly recommend this house to visitors that want to explore Victoria and also enjoy the beauty of Vancouver Island's Southern shores.
