Coastal Shores Oceanside Retreat

About this space
This charming BnB nestled between the trees & the ocean is west coast living at its finest. A sanctuary on Sooke's inner harbor. View diverse wildlife in this tranquil & private setting. Watch otters & seals play; blue heron fish. Watch kingfishers, eagles, ospreys and hummingbirds. Maybe the owl will swoop by & the bear will wander past. You may see whales from your patio! Relax on the deck & dream while sailboats float by in this everchanging, natural landscape. Stroll down paths & enjoy a front row view of this haven at the oceanside cabana. Walk endlessly along the beach.
This brand new home is cozy and quaint. 650 sq ft at the water's edge. It is fully stocked with everything you need to enjoy your stay. Your new vacation home is private with your own entry. You can walk endlessly along the beach when the tide is out. You can enjoy sitting at water's edge in the cabana or on your patio. Yoga mats and hand weights are available as well.

From the minute we arrived, until the minute we (sadly) left, our experience was absolutely fantastic. Unexpectedly thoughtful treats (too many to mention) awaited, along with amazing views and a wonderful dock perfect for enjoying the ocean wildlife up-close while sipping our evening bevvies. Cannot say enough about the location, our wonderful hosts, Lori and Dave, and the immaculate, incredibly well-stocked suite itself. Thanks so much for EVERYTHING!!!

Amazing place to stay, with a beautiful view. Everything was clean and tidy, and it's a very quiet and private little suite. They also provided pretty much everything you might need as a traveler coming to stay. Didn't get to see the local bear, but we did get to see mama river otter and her babies. 10/10 would definitely stay here again in the future.

The property was over and above our expectations. The views off the deck where amazing with the seals sunning themselves, the otters playing and the deer family strolling by to say hello. You will need for nothing when staying here. It is clear to see the hosts just want want there guests to have a great experience.

Fantastic one bedroom apartment with all the amenities. Very comfortable and quiet. Large patio overlooking Sooke inlet. A bouquet of garden flowers and a fresh baked loaf of bread greeted us on our arrival. The hosts paid attention to all the small details which included chocolates on the pillows. Definitely our favourite stay (out of six) on the island!
