Ocean Front Cottage in Sooke on Vancouver Island Kayaking Hot Tub

New Hot Tub!

The cottage and hot tub are sanitized between each use according to the BC Centre for Disease Control. All linens and towels are washed on the sanitized cycle.

Due to the nature of the terrain, the property is only suited for adults. No pets or smoking on the property please. We provide scent free shower products.

This is an intimate cottage on the ocean. You can fish for salmon and halibut, kayak among seals, mountain bike as far as you like, surf , go whale watching or enjoy a quiet evening in the hot tub or in front of the indoor fireplace.

We have a 1.2 acre south facing property on Sooke Basin, a protected bay off of the Pacific. It's salt water but you'd think that it was a lake. Calm as a mill pond most days. You'll wake to the sounds of ducks, geese, swans, eagles and snorting seals.

We're located in Saseenos which is in a microclimate known to have the sunniest and mildest winters in Canada.

The cottage is set on an oceanfront corner of our property, with the main house set further back and on the other side of a fence. Although this is a shared property, you'll have lots of privacy.

The cottage is suitable for a maximum of 2 adults. The bedroom has a queen bed. The main room consists of a kitchen, dining and living room. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook, except food. Coffee and tea are provided. There is a dishwasher. The bathroom has a soaker tub and a separate shower. Linens and towels are provided. There is a new private hot tub on the cottage deck on the ocean side. We have a large 220 foot dock and a smaller deck that you are welcome to utilize. There is a rocky beach when it's low tide. The kayaks and lifejackets are available to use. Lots of charters available nearby if you'd like to go whale watching or fishing.

If you like to stay busy, there's lots to do. The Galloping Goose Trail is at the end of our street and is perfect for a morning run, bike ride or hike. The town of Sooke has fabulous restaurants and the nearby beaches are breathtaking.

You'll feel like you're in the middle of nowhere but we're 5 minutes from the town of Sooke where you'll find grocery and liquor stores, Shopper's Drug Mart, banks, Tim Horton's and a variety of other stores/restaurants. Costco and other favorite stores are about 20 minutes away. We're 25 minutes to downtown Victoria.

This is truly paradise. The cabin can be used year round. This specific area of Sooke is known to have milder winters and the summers are often warm and sunny.

Absolutely idyllic. A perfect spot overlooking the sea from a comfortable, well equipped cottage with the owner on hand if required. Not far from Sooke for all amenities. Couldn’t have been better and highly recommended.

Stunning stay at Sooke Basin

A lovely little cottage for two people. Everything you could want in a quiet getaway. Lots of outdoor seating. Loved being able to use the kayaks and enjoyed paddling next to seals one morning. A terrific hot tub made for a relaxing soak all three evenings. Would absolutely recommend this spot.

Idyllic

Tranquil spot to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the area. We enjoyed the use of the kayaks to explore the Sooke basin shoreline and coves, full of sea life and birds. Close to town and easy access to the Galloping Goose trail. Hosts were fantastic!

A beautiful slice of paradise.

Absolutely stunning; perfect for a couple or solo traveler. Lots of privacy. Nice and quiet area. The views off the deck are unbelievable. Sooke is a smaller town but plenty to offer. Tons of nature within a short drive. Do not hesitate, book this home before someone else does!

Simply Amazing

Exactly as advertised. Quiet, secluded location with ease of access to the Galloping Goose Trail and other Sooke attractions. Exceptional amenities including kayaks, private hot tub with great views, stocked kitchen essentials and provided fresh eggs. Morning coffee's and evening beers on the deck enhance the relaxed and romantic atmosphere. Very attentive property owners if required, otherwise fully respectful of your privacy.

Exceptional oceanfront tiny home

Thank you Tami. We looked forward to a quiet getaway, and biking access to the Sooke Potholes via the Galloping Goose trail. This well equipped and well planned tiny home was perfect. Sitting out on the waterfront deck watching otters, and sea birds at the end of our day was truly relaxing. Our hosts were very discreet but were there when we needed them. Thank you for sharing your wonderful spot on the Sooke Basin. Bryan and Carolyn

Relaxing & beautiful place to get away

We booked this for our 20th anniversary. The guest house was just perfect. It had everything we needed. The hot tub was great and the view from the hot tub was amazing. It was very private. There are trails close by that go for miles.The town of Sooke is just 5 minutes away and had everything we needed. The hosts were kind and inviting. Their directions and suggestions were much appreciated. We went there to relax and disconnect. Mission accomplished! Though, if you are looking for more adventure, there are those options also. We would definitely stay at this property again!
