Relaxation with a view
Very comfortable, very clean, well equipped and very well managed. The view from one of three decks is picture postcard! Relaxing in the hot tub while looking at the wonderful view is special! A wonderful place to relax and enjoy all the beaches and hiking of the southwest coast of the island. Hope to return!

Don't Hesitate!
If the posting on the VRBO site looks good to you, be prepared - the actual property is even better when you're there in person. Of all the vacation rentals that we have stayed in over many years, this ranks right up there with the very best. The amenities have everything that you could wish for - there wasn't a single thing that we could think of as being something that was lacking. The beds were really comfortable (we didn't use the third bedroom - but it looked like it would be fine for maybe teens or pre-teens). Communication with Ines was excellent - prompt & totally easy while still giving us privacy. As a base for exploring the coast as far as Port Renfrew to the north, as well as in the other direction to Victoria, this is an excellent location (you just have to have some patience with the Sooke traffic!) If you just want a spot to relax & "chill" with a "to die for" view, then you can't go wrong with Surfside Cottage. The decks & the hot tub provide a wonderful opportunity to watch the marine life & the shipping traffic; if you do get some west-coast rain, then the picture windows & the fireplace (wood provided) are a great (& cozy) alternative. We'd love to think that we might be back here again one day.

If a water view and hearing the waves crash onto the shore then this is the place for you. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our three nights at this great property. The hot tub was an added tub was a bonus.

Lovely cottage with amazing sea views
Our group of 4 adults stayed in this well appointed cottage. It was well equipped, clean and comfortable. There were lots of windows so not only was it light it presented fabulous views across Juan De Fuca bay. There were also plenty of outside areas to sit that had glass screens to create wind breaks. We saw sea lions and dolphins. Also had Bald Eagles fly over. Fabulous property!

Luxury oceanfront home base between family adventures in Sooke
Absolutely spectacular ocean scenery and up close view of sea life outside every window. The property is stunning, located close to everything in Sooke and close to day trips in the area. The house was cozy and beds were super comfortable. Equipped kitchen, gracious host and easy communication. Everything was perfect. Would love to come back!

Wonderful!
We had an amazing time! The house was clean, well stocked, and the view could not be better. We saw orcas, seals, and bald eagles while in the clean, luxurious hot tub. The host responded within minutes when we had an issue. We went to Victoria and The Butchart Gardens one day and explored the beaches further north on the other days.I highly recommend this property!

This was such a wonderful property. The access to the water, the patios, and hot tub were highlights for us. We enjoyed the space and the beauty surrounding it. The home gets hot in the day time, so important to close the blinds and have the fan blowing.

Absolutely lovely
My husband and I stayed here for a quiet honeymoon and we absolutely loved it. The spot is just gorgeous, with beautiful views of the ocean complete with lots of sea life. It's clear that lots of thought has gone into making the cottage as comfortable as possible, with everything one might need or want available and conveniently placed (towels and slides by the door to the hot tub, robes available in the bedroom, easy-to-use hot tub cover). I can't recommend Surfside Cottage strongly enough.

Lovely Cottage with Amazing Views
We had a wonderful week at Surfside Cottage. The view across the strait is amazing-saw lots of seals every day, huge flocks of birds and watched pods of Orcas go by twice. Once they were so close that we heard them before we saw them just feet off the rocks. Lovely outdoor areas and nice little private beach. The home is spotless and well equipped. It was a perfect home base for our exploration of South Vancouver Island. Thanks sharing your beautiful cottage!
