Mesmerizing views

The views from this property are absolutely amazing! We had an eagle eating its catch right in the 700-year-old tree in front of the living room. The beds are super comfy, the house is very clean and it is stocked with all that you need. The welcome basket was a very nice surprise. We had a memorable girls' getaway and want to thank the host for our time here. We will be back!

A Property that lived up to Expectations

We had a lovely stay at Otter Point House. The location was fabulous and the house a pleasure to visit. Well equipped in kitchen and bathrooms. Private beach was amazing. Perhaps a little tricky with small kids and the lovely artwork and sculptures but we managed to avoid trouble. Good communication with the property managers too.

Perfect spot for a family getaway

3 days of meals around the big table cooked in a well stocked kitchen that has room for some to sit and relax while other cook (we like to socialise while prepping dinner). Comfy beds (as long as you put smaller people on the Murphy bed), plenty of room for some to read and relax while other play cards or watch a movie. Good showers and lots towels. The beach is remarkable! Highly recommend

Six of us from Ontario exploring the island stayed here for 4 nights. Lots of room, we had everything we could possibly need, views could not be better, beds comfortable and showers great. A wonderful time was had by all at Otter House.

About the host

Hosted by Fred Farsi

My family and have many great memories over the years of time spent at Otter Point House. We look forward to sharing this special place with you to make some of your own life long memories

What makes this property unique

There is an abundance of activities to do while staying at the Otter Point House.

Salmon Fishing. Experience the thrill of reeling in a 30 - 40 lb. salmon or battling a giant halibut, weighing in at up to 100+ lbs. Sooke offers some of the best salmon fishing in the world and is also known for its world-class halibut fishing. Many fishing charters are based out of Sooke Harbour Marina. Additionally you can rent fishing equipment in town and fish right of the rocks at Otter Point House. Otter Point Park is immediately adjacent and generally considered the best place to shore fish in the Sooke area.
Whale Watching. Looking for an exhilarating west coast marine adventure? Jump aboard a whale watching marine tour. These tours depart from the Sooke basin and explore the Strait of Juan de Fuca in search of Killer Whales, Porpoises, Gray and Humpback Whales as well as a handful of smaller marine life such as seals, sea lions and various species of birds.

Dining. Though Sooke is a modest size, it punches above its weight for culinary options and offers a variety of dining experiences, from fine dining to pubs and cafes.

Beaches. There are many stunning beaches and parks to be discovered in the Sooke Region including the easy-to-get-to Whiffen Spit but if you would like to go on a bit of an excursion to find something more secluded, try a trip to Botanical Beach, China Beach, French Beach, Sombrio Beach, or Mystic Beach.

Hiking. Some of the best hiking on Vancouver Island can be found in the Sooke Region. Vast networks of trails, some many well marked, some not, can take you on an adventure through the rainforest, beaches or up along Hurricane Ridge and the Kludak trails in the alpine zone. Don’t miss Sooke Potholes Provincial Park, these natural pools are carved into Sooke River’s bedrock.

Biking. Sooke is poised to become the outdoor recreation capital of Vancouver Island- with mountain biking as the prominent jewel in its heavily encrusted crown.
