We had a wonderful time at Candice & JS's cabin! The location was absolutely perfect for what we wanted. It felt completely remote, peaceful, surrounded by trees, totally private, and located near beautiful beaches and hiking trails. At the same time, it was close enough to several local cafes and 30 min from Sooke for grocery stores, pharmacy, etc. The cabin was cozy and airy and had everything that we wanted. We made breakfast and several dinners in the kitchen (the little convection toaster oven was great!) and appreciated the DVD collection and board games. We didn't think we needed the washer and dryer but loved having them after an especially damp hike. The table and chairs on the front porch were awesome - we loved listening to birds and drinking wine out there in the evenings. The bed was amazingly comfortable. We loved the stylish and simple white and grey decor, all natural lavender soap and shampoo, the plush towels and cozy blankets. Candice & JS provided lots of great local tips and were very sweet and responsive.
We stayed a week and visited China Beach, Mystic Beach, Sandcut Beach, Sombrio Beach (our favorite!), Botanical Beach, and Avatar Grove up in Point Renfrew. We loved Stoked Pizza and Shirley Delicious Cafe (best pastries and London Fog ever), and Cold Shoulder Cafe (best view!). All in all, we had a fantastic time - thank you Candice & JS!
