My partner and I chose this spot for a weekend getaway for our anniversary and it was close to perfect. The guest house is so cute and cozy and the views were amazing. If you’re a fan of wildlife like we are, this is an excellent location. We saw seals, sea lions, otters, bald eagles, herons, kingfishers, and even a hooded nudibranch!!!!! While we were there we drove up to Botanical Beach to go tidepooling and hiked to see the petroglyphs at Aylard Farms, in addition to lounging in the hot tub and kayaking around the property. It was truly a wonderful and romantic getaway.

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.

Very clean, well stocked and peaceful place! Already planning for next year!

Tammi & Danny look after this property personally and it shows. 99% of properties are excellent this was beyond what I expected. The place was immaculate. Anything chrome gleamed and I mean GLEAM. The dishwasher cooker washer and drier looked as if they had just been purchased. In speaking to Danni they hadn’t Their hot tub was as clean as the rest of the little cottage. The views were fantastic it’s worth every penny. Thank you both for a great stay you deserve fantastic reviews

Perfect for us. Close to City amenities, but small town comfort. Venture north for surfing, hiking, beach, and wildlife. Or back to big City (Victoria) for Butchart, whale watching, dining,... Not to mention many activities close by. Oh, and the cottage, great kitchen, everything I needed to cook, nice hot tub, big tub inside too plus shower, big screen tv, lots of stations for sports day, and most comfortable patio chairs I have ever sat in.

Beautiful property, cottage was set up great. Hosts were very nice and helpful. So much to do in the area- we had a great time- we will be back.

Just beautiful. So calm, peaceful, a perfect get away. Cabin was very clean, has everything you need, and then some. Generous with toilet paper, paper towels, shampoo, even freezer bags etc, lots of dishes, coffee, tea. Just perfect! Thank you Tami and Danny for sharing your absolutely spectacular property. Can’t wait to return. Debbie and Scott

We came for a 30th Anniversary getaway, and this place was exceptional—one of our best home-away trips. This is the place if you love nature and viewing with your binoculars from the deck as your favorite pastime: otters, seals, geese, eagles, and a family of raccoons, to name a few. You have access to one of the most calm waters with the opportunity to kayak, stroll the beach, walk the pier, or sit on the most comfortable lounge chairs all day. There is attention to every detail from bath salts for the deep tub, choice of coffee and tea selections, fully equipped kitchen, bbq, hot tub, and everything is so clean. Close to town, sights, beaches, and great restaurants. We loved traveling across from Washington state to Victoria on the Ferry with an easy commute to Sooke. Be sure to ask for the complimentary fresh eggs from their farm. Delicious! The host was charming as they have pride in their place and have put a lot of work and unique details throughout the property. A must-visit for us in the future!

We stayed here for a short honeymoon, and it was beyond perfect. My favourite vacation rental I have ever been - hope to return!

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!

The cottage was very relaxing, beautiful views and the cottage was very well stocked. We just needed the clothes on our backs. Highly recommend.

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.

Tami and Danny’s cottage is such a seaside retreat, away from the hustle and bustle of most people’s lives. They have made the cottage so very welcoming. Even supplying the kitchen with various choices of coffee/tea, offering of fresh eggs and veg from their garden, amazing outside furniture to lounge, etc.The setting is so beautiful. There is an eagle’s favourite perch, right in your view. We loved this cottage and will make it our newest fav spot. Thank you again T & D, for a very rejuvenating vacation!

This is one of our all time favourite rentals! We loved the privacy, the views, the amenities and especially the location! Sitting outside on one of the decks you can expect visits from geese, otters, seals, eagles, hummingbirds and various other birds that call the Sooke Basin their home. The rental itself is perfect! It's clean, has everything you need for your stay and looks just like the pics in the posting. You will not be disappointed! We have absolutely loved our stay here and would not hesitate to return if we ever find ourselves back here on the island!

First impressions of the Ocean Front Cottage was how stunningly beautiful the property was. As we settled in we found the property was well equipped, clean and very comfortable. We were greeted by Tami, one of the owners, and treated to goodies from the garden and eggs from their chickens which was greatly appreciated. Mornings on the deck, or down at the dock, along with the fantastic view was very special! In fact, we didn’t leave the property for two of our five day stay. We are looking forward to our next visit to this little piece of heaven. Thanks for a fantastic experience.

My partner and I had a brilliant week on Sooke Basin. The cottage was a wonderful retreat on the water and a great jumping off point to explore the area. It had everything we needed to relax and escape the summer heat of the city. We particularly enjoyed the easy access to kayaks, watching the sunset on the dock and evening dips in the hot tub. We saw so much wildlife! Otters, seals, eagles, even a pod of orca! I’ll be dreaming of the view of the water from the cottage for a long time. Thank you so much!

This cottage is so lovely, the pictures do not do it justice. The location is perfect, with beautiful views out every window. The kitchen was stocked; we were able to cook and make snacks during our stay. The hot tub is priceless and made all the difference in the evening. Bed was super comfortable, everything is tastefully decorated, TV has Netflix, etc. The owner is on the property in a house set back a little from the cottage, but they gave us plenty of privacy and it didn't feel "awkward" at all. They welcomed us to go down to their dock, which we did, and we watched the jellyfish and seals swim around. The owners also have kayaks for use, which we tried. My husband had a little seal following him around the basin. The view is stunning and in the distance, you can see the mountains of Olympia National Park in the U.S. I would stay here again in a heartbeat and recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, unique rental.

This place is perfect for a quiet getaway! I was clean, cute, and calm. The scenery is picturesque and the property is perfect for two.

Had a lovely 4 day/3night stay at this property. This small house is situated on the property in a deliberate way to provide privacy from the on-site owners and neighbors. Their use of landscaping and hardscapes hid us from everyone but also easy access to the boat ramp. The owners were quick to answer a question but seldom seen unless venturing away from the tiny house. Loved it. Also, a short drive to the grocery store, restaurants and day hiking trails.

This is a beautiful and tranquil spot that is equipped with every conceivable luxury! The hosts, Danny and Tami, are gracious, welcoming and have created a unique getaway that caters to all guests. Whether it is providing restaurant recommendations or sharing their pick for the best ice cream on the Island, Danny and Tami are committed to ensuring their guests have a memorable stay. We will definitely be back!!

Danny and Tami are wonderful hosts. The cottage is beautiful, clean and cozy. We so enjoyed our stay.

These hosts are very aware of the needs of people and are well prepared for our stay. They are thoughtful and attentive. It was so refreshing!

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.

We had an amazing time here. Super private and quiet! Epic views! We loved seeing the seals , the kayaking and dinners outside overlooking the Sooke Bay. We also love all the walks/ hikes close by , including the galloping goose trail. The cabin has everything you need and more. Looking forward to coming back. Thanks Tammy and Danny for an amazing time at your cabin.

This property was absolutely amazing, everything is clean, neat, and comfortable. The house is stocked with everything you need for a great vacation - minus the food of course. The hot tub was perfect to sit in after a day exploring the area, and the ocean view from the deck could not be beat. Danny and Tami were very welcoming and generous hosts and we can not to go back already!! Thank you for an awesome vacation home!

Professionally managed with a small town personal touch, our stay was immaculate. Privacy to get away from the cares of life, and all the amenities to create a truly relaxing stay and home base to other island adventures. Tami and Danny have a beautiful and exquisite property that allowed us a kayaking adventure and relaxing evenings in an ocean view hot tub. Pristine. We will be back.

Always a pleasant stay.

Loved our place! Very clean. Had a nice hot tub. Used the kayaks to explore the Sooke Basin.

We've stayed at many vrbo's in beautiful locations but this might just be the winner. The view of the Olympic mountains across the water from the cottage is just stunning. We stayed for 3 nights in March and were very fortunate to be able to take the kayaks out both days we were there and get a great view of the eagles nesting next door while being followed by a very curious seal who kept popping his head up to take a look at us. If you need somewhere to exhale and unwind I can't think of a more perfect place to do so.

This was just what we needed! The property is absolutely beautiful and it is so peaceful sitting outside eating our breakfast by the waterfront. The unit has everything we needed and is a lovely place to visit. We will definitely come again!

Such a relaxing stay in a beautiful spot. Clean and well-stocked little cozy getaway with an increadible view. So happy with my stay and I would love to come back sometime!

What an excellent vacation. The cabin was perfect. We kayaked, hiked the potholes, whale watched (saw 20 or so Orcas), hiked the skywalk and then just chilled out and had some delicious food. We cooked a couple of dinners, but also had some great food in town. Would definitely recommend this place. The owner, Danny, was the perfect host.
