What guests think
Across the reviews, guests consistently praise Oceanfront West Coast Vacation Home-Surfside Cottage with hot tub for sweeping ocean views from most spaces, a superb hot tub, plentiful outdoor areas including beach access, and a tranquil setting that matches the photos.
Reviews frequently highlight spotless cleanliness, well-maintained grounds, comfortable beds, and a well-stocked kitchen. Many also appreciate the responsive, friendly host and a convenient base for Sooke, nearby hikes, and day trips to Victoria. A few notes mention limited privacy due to an on-site trailer, steep steps, or an exterior-access second bathroom, but these are isolated comments. Expect a peaceful, well-equipped coastal retreat designed for relaxation.

Fantastic stay and lovely property. I would stay there again. It sleeps 6 but only 5 beds. Easy check out and check in. Private beach and hot tub were excellent.

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.

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!

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.

The property has many outdoor areas to explore, including access to a private beach.There is even a hot tub for soaking after long hikes. The location is very convenient. It's close to many hikes and beaches, but only a short drive from town. We had a wonderful stay at Surfside Cottage.

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!

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!

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!

Surfside Cottage is so comfortable, well equipped and spotlessly clean. The location and view is unsurpassed. We had a wonderful time and did not want to leave. A beautiful piece of property. It is in a good location in that Sooke and the hiking trails are an easy drive. Note that the second bathroom is accessible by going outside and down some stairs; a detail we missed in the property description. A wonderful vacation!

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!

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 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.

Surfside Cottage was well stocked and beautifully decorated. It has ever-changing views of the Juan de Fuca Strait, crashing waves, and seasonal marine wildlife visible from every spot in the house. Rock beach down below and in either direction. Close to Sooke for groceries or eating out plus local sites to explore. The hot tub was the icing on the cake!!

This is an amazing property with beautiful views.There are ocean views from every room. The cottage is very clean and comfortable. It has everything you could need. The property has many outdoor areas to explore, including access to a private beach.There is even a hot tub for soaking after long hikes. The location is very convenient. It's close to many hikes and beaches, but only a short drive from town. We had a wonderful stay at Surfside Cottage.

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!

Surfside Cottage is so comfortable, well equipped and spotlessly clean. The location and view is unsurpassed. We had a wonderful time and did not want to leave. A beautiful piece of property. It is in a good location in that Sooke and the hiking trails are an easy drive. Note that the second bathroom is accessible by going outside and down some stairs; a detail we missed in the property description. A wonderful vacation!

This was an absolute dream stay!! We saw otters, seals, jellyfish, sea lions, eagles, and an ORCA from the porch of this beautiful home. Ines’s attention to details made our stay so comfy and cozy. We’re already looking forward to returning in the near future.

We had a wonderful stay! We loved everything about the cottage. The windows as soon as we walked in — amazing! The view honestly could not have been better. It was very relaxing listening to the ocean day and night. The kitchen and living room were clean and had everything we needed. We had a very restful stay and the bed was very comfortable. We will definitely stay again. Thank you!
