We just returned from our wonderful 8 nite stay. The setting is breath taking, the house is simply amazing and Mary and Dan are great hosts. As other reviewers have stated, the photos don’t do this home justice! It is a remarkable piece of architecture and yet so comfortable, functional and cozy. Our kids loved the bunk beds and having their own windows to see the glorious views. It is very close to the ever popular East Sooke Regional Park which offers amazing coastal trails and beaches. It’s also a 5 min drive to a well stocked convenience store / market (but we recommend bringing the bulk of your groceries). If “getting away from it all” is what you’re looking for this place fits the bill - a completely quiet, restful retreat. Wifi can be spotty but we were fine with this and enjoyed lots of “unplugged” family time (they have good collection of games.). We would highly recommend this place and plan to return sometime in the near future!
