The views from every window in this house are spectacular. Rear windows look into thick green trees, some hanging with moss. Front windows all look out on the ocean. Every evening we were treated to a gorgeous sunset on the patio or from the propane fire table in the front yard. Constant fresh breezes. Very quiet spot as nobody was at the house next door during our stay. And we never saw a single person on the beach. House is on the edge of Shirley so an easy drive to French, Mystic and Sandcut Beaches (and beyond). About 15 min drive to amenities in Sooke. Important to note that the third bedroom with twin beds (shown on website as bunk beds but currently are two twins) is connected to the master bedroom. So, users must walk through the master to access it. And the master bath is off the small, twin bedroom. This bed/bath combo is perfect for a family with smaller children to be close together at night. But wasn't as welcomed by our teenager ;-) Overall a very nice rental for families in summer. And the three fireplaces inside (2 wood burning) plus potential for stormy seas out front, this would make a very cozy winter retreat, too.
