What an incredible place with a great host!
When I arrived, the location and view were beyond what I imagined. To be able to watch the change of light and weather over the water was beautiful. The rental was so thoughtfully appointed that I had everything I needed. East Sooke is the perfect location as a home base to explore the beaches and trails and really, of all the parks I went into up the west part of the island, the East Sooke Park with it’s Coast Trail ( in different sections) was as spectacular as any of the rest and just down the road. Scott was so pleasant and offered great information about the area and happenings. He was also available and generous with his time, helping me navigate some communication challenges. Equally, Scoot was respectful of my space and this stay really became almost a personal retreat for me. Great local massage therapist as well. I highly recommend and would defiantly stay here again. Thanks Scott!

The perfect getaway
A lovely private oceanfront property with a beautiful garden, and expansive deck. Scott was very welcoming and made sure we felt right at home. Marshmallows over a fire by the water was a highlight for the kids. Would definitely come back.

What an amazing place Scott has. The views are stunning! The yard is perfect and nothing gets you closer to the ocean than this piece of heaven. We were extremely comfortable and Scott was so helpful with everything. My kids are all fancy little kids with good taste and they loved it so so much!

Tranquil Beauty in Eastern Sooke
Seaside Cove was the perfect hide-away for us and our teenage son who enjoyed his privacy in the upstairs unit. Both units are extremely well appointed, taste- and thoughtfully decorated and highly functional (great beds, bathrooms and laundry room). The absolute highlights are the deck and backyard with a glorious view of the gorgeous Sooke Basin, which one can enjoy from almost everywhere in the unit. The location is great for hiking and kayaking-- one can even have a kayak delivered to the property by one of the local outfits. The owner, Scott, lives right above the apartment: He was extremely respectful of our privacy (we almost never saw him around), but he was always available through text, offering useful and knowledgable local advice-- the perfect set-up for us; we would LOVE to return!

We found love in the seaside cove
What an absolute vibe from the second we arrived to the emotional departure. the views in east sooke were exactly what we wanted and it’s truly natures gallery… the only regret we had was not staying longer (and going to bustling Victoria after living here in tranquility for a week). All of Scott’s recommendations are spot on and he’s the best host. Do yourself a favor and book it and have a couple ice cream sandwiches on us.

Amazing Family Getaway
My husband and I stayed 5 days with our teenage sons. What an amazing and relaxing time we had. The home is stunning, very comfortable and fully equipped with everything you need. We started each day with coffee overlooking the ocean, explored the ocean, fished and went crabbing. We brought our kayaks which was fantastic as the bay was quite calm. We barbecued on the deck, played catch in the back yard and enjoyed wine while watching the sunsets. Thank you Scott for your graciousness and kindness during our stay! We will definitely come back!

Wonderful stay in East Sooke
This house had everything we needed for a relaxing family vacation in a beautiful, natural setting. Scott was an excellent host who made recommendations and helped us out when we needed him. He lives in an adjacent unit (separate entrance) but we rarely saw or heard him. He was available by text for any questions. We selected this property because of the photos and reviews and we were not disappointed. Having now seen the Victoria/Sooke/Shirley area, I can say that this is one of the best views and was the perfect home base for all our activities which included cycling, ziplining, hiking, and a boat tour. Every day we were glued to binoculars looking to spot marine life off the back porch (and we did!). I wish we could've stayed longer and we hope to return.

Perfect getaway!
First of all my husband and I were very comfortable here and the surroundings are absolutely beautiful! Scott kept in touch with us on our way in from Vancouver and greeted us at the door. He walked us through the studio and offered to share anything with us that we may have forgotten. It felt like we were staying with a friend. He was always available but never visible! All his recommendations were great! Especially Taste Buds the burger food truck parked at the small grocer store on East Sooke rd. Can’t say enough about how exceptional they are and really friendly service too! We loved all our hikes and our visit to Victoria! Thanks again Scott!

As perfect as it comes
We have stayed at many rental properties but this is the best of all. We were attracted by the photos on the website but these under-sold the beauty of the setting. The property is in a secluded area on an ocean inlet with constantly changing scenery and wildlife. We could have spent the entire time on the deck or garden watching the day go by. Ultra-chilling. The property is beautiful and very well equipped. Scott, our host, was extremely helpful and was always available.. we spent a very pleasant evening with him drinking wine and sharing thoughts about the world. We intend to come back as soon as we can which is the highest praise we can give.. Malcolm & Sue

The home is warm and beautifully appointed, and the location is absolutely perfect. Very isolated and serene, this is the perfect rental for a quiet getaway. But despite the isolation, Sooke and Langford are still easily accessible for any supplies you may need. And Scott, our host, was so welcoming and accommodating. He went above and beyond making himself available if we needed anything. Honestly one of the best vacation rental experiences you can have!

Absolutely loved our stay
This property is unique. The interior is beautiful, eclectic and comfortable with an incredible vista. The main bedroom feels so spacious, and our (adult) kids enjoyed having their own space with the other main-level bedroom and the upstairs bedroom as well (wow! what a view). We loved the deck areas, with an unencumbered view that is simply stunning. We easily spent a couple of hours every day just looking out over the shore and water, watching the tide and wildlife. We also really enjoyed the fire pit, and the beach/rocks below complete with star fish when the tide goes out. The area has so many hikes and beaches to explore, along with fishing, boating, great restaurants and pubs nearby. We made good use of the awesome local burger/ice cream food truck and well-stocked grocery store only a few minutes away. Scott was a GREAT and generous host, very helpful if we needed something or had a question — like when we brought back freshly-caught salmon and crab (our first!), he gave us advice and everything we needed to cook and enjoy it. And at one point, we were unsure we had the right trailhead for a hike, so we called and he happened to be driving close by and came to make sure we had the right one. This stay was one of our best and most memorable holidays. Thank you Scott!

I don’t know where to start… everything was beyond our expectations! Unforgettable, magical views from each room, even from bathroom. First 4 hours after arrival we just stared from window as it was raining outside but still breathtaking! We saw many wildlife from inside and outside of the house. We used the BBQ and have dinner outside during a sunset. We were paddleboarding, swimming in the ocean, chilling, having campfire and all with that magical views!! Whole place cleared our mind and we felt super relaxed.LOVED IT!! I wish we could stay longer!

Beautiful View
My husband and I stayed for four days and really enjoyed staying at this property. As mentioned in other reviews, the fireplace is not able to be used, but everything else was GREAT! One thing I don't think is super clear in the listing - The king bed is located in more of studio setting, so not a lot of privacy if you have more than two people in your party. Overall, really loved this location, the view of the water was amazing!

You will NOT regret staying here
Visited in May 2022. The location is breathtaking. The lot is beautiful (and this was early spring), the house better than the photos. King bed in same space as living room. Queen bed is in a separate space. This worked really well with the three of us. Scott is the best host I have met. A starter pack of coffee, tea and condiments was provided, along with a couple of seasonings Lots of toilet paper, dish soap and laundry soap for a load. Scott provided great binoculars and we really enjoyed watching a bald eagle hunt and a seal play in front of home. Grab this place if it’s open!
