Such a wonderful space! I would stay again in a second.

Thanks Kristen and Curtis for a great stay at your cozy cabin! We arrived later in the evening and instructions on how to get into the cabin were accurate and easy. The cabin itself was clean, organized and very warm, there was a hotplate and bbq which we used to cook our meals. The hotplate was great, it heated up very fast. We sat at the little table with the bar stools and looked out onto the property through the big window. The cabin had lots of natural light. The bed was very comfy and the best part was lying in bed and starring at the stars. We also took a walk down to the beach as suggested, which was very beautiful and peaceful. It was truly a wonderful getaway, it was so nice being "off the grid" as there was no cellphone or wifi service, which made us truly relax into this beautiful property. Kristen and Curtis really paid attention to detail. We were especially surprised when we turned on the patio lights outside which lined the whole property and made it have that romantic feeling. We would definitely recommend this cabin to others who are wanting to truly relax and unplug. This is the place to do it! We look forward to visiting this place again.

Lovely space and beautiful location!

Such a quiet, intimate cabin. Perfect location to hear the waves crashing on the beach, yet so private. The cabin has been set up beautifully and there are so many books to read, games to play and places to chill out in. Loved it!

What a great weekend! Kristen was great with communication and the place was exactly what we were hoping. If you're looking for a place to escape the city, read a good book, do some surfing, grill some burgers, go for a hike, play with your pup, have the beach to yourself, watch the sunset with a good IPA (there may be other things that we didn't do), then I would definitely recommend this place. Clean and private with just enough rustic thrown in to keep things interesting. The beach is a five minute walk and the Juan De Fuca trailhead/China Beach (which is beautiful) is a 2 minute drive. We'll be back. Thanks Kristen and Curtis!

We very much enjoyed our stay in Jordan River - the home is on a spacious property well away from town center and restaurants, but charmingly surrounded by trees and very beautiful landscaping. The hot tub was great! And the space inside was perfect for two. The kitchen was easy to cook in and there was a good table inside and another outside. And the hot tub was wonderful! So easy and close, and the stars were out of this world. It's a drive to the nearest restaurant (10 - 15 minutes) but there are several good options in the area. The coffee shop is also drivable, although sadly we didn't make it there.

Kelly was an absolutely wonderful host. She welcomed us and made sure we comfortable with the suite and was readily available when we had questions. We felt our privacy was very respected and enjoyed our stay so much! The fire pit was an absolute highlight, along with soaking in the hot tub looking out to such a beautiful setting. Everything you need is there for you. This was the perfect little get away... We will certainly be back!

Had a great stay at Kelly's home. Perfect little getaway spot away from everything. Thanks!

A really beautiful peaceful place. We really loved it :)

We truly enjoyed our stay at Kelly's place. Private, quiet, and peaceful with lovely gardens and a HotTub which was perfect! The suite was very clean, well equipped and close to Jordan River and China Beach. A perfect set up! We really appreciated Kelly's delicious breakfast and friendly hospitality. We will be back for sure! Thanks again Kelly.

This cabin is beautiful. As a guest you will have access to the ground level suite which is completely self contained and private. It is within 5 minutes of Mystic Beach which is well worth the trip. As described, this is located in a secluded, quiet area of Jordan River and is a perfect retreat from the city. I would recommend this B&B and Kelly is a great host

My husband and I celebrated an important occasion here and it was absolutely perfect. Kelly was a great host and the house is magnificent. It's full of fascinating old relics, and is spacious and clean. It is set in the woods, it felt very private and we were surrounded with beautiful nature. We enjoyed the bbq, the hot tub, and the fire pit immensely. And we had an incredible walk to China beach from the house in the evening. It was a perfect get away. We will definitely be back!

Kelly ist eine sehr herzliche Gastgeberin, die uns auch viele gute Tipps gegeben hat. Morgens überraschte Sie uns mit einem perfekten Frühstück. Das urige Haus liegt mitten im Wald in einer gottverlassenen Gegend. Ideal für Naturfreunde und Strandwanderer. Nachtleben gibt es dort natürlich nicht. Die nächste Möglichkeit zum Einkaufen ist eine halbe Stunde Autofahrt entfernt. Zusammengefasst: Es ist schon etwas Besonderes.

Great off the grid experience. Well designed, compact Swell Shack is a good place to get away. Highly recommended for a peaceful stay in the Jordan River area.

The Swell Shack is the perfect place to get away and escape the business of life. It was so quiet (at first the silence was hard to get used to) and peaceful. The fireplace warmed the entire cabin up. Drinking coffee on the deck in the morning was amazing. And the outdoor shower was paradise. The tempature was a bit tricky but once you found the sweet spot it was the best shower I ever had. Don’t let the outhouse scare you. It was super clean and smelled of cedar in there. Every detail of the cabin was perfect and I loved that it was made of mostly recycled material. It was very close to a few beaches. I visited China Beach and Sombrio Beach which were both quiet and beautiful. I intend to visit the Swell Shack on a yearly basis when I need some time to connect back into myself. Thank you so much James and Mo for sharing this amazing space.

The perfect little getaway in the woods! Cozy, clean and private. Thanks so much to James and Mo who were great about everything.

This place is truly wonderful. Away from the busy places of Vancouver Island, this remote forest retreat felt private and homely. We've felt any tensions we might have had simply slip away. The surrounding area has room for relaxation as well as adventure, hiking or wildlife spotting. I'd be back every weekend if I lived nearby. Also James and Mo were happy to share tips about the area.

Great little place, full of charm, thoroughly enjoyed the location. Well set up, a lot of thought has been put in to this shack

The Swell Shack is a minute's walk from your parking spot on the property and is a cozy, off the grid cabin. We hiked the Coast Trail in East Sooke Regional Park on the way to Port Jordan, which was a great 10 kilometer hike with a bit of scrambling and lots of amazing views. Other highlights included Botanical Beach for a short stroll through the woods- we saw pods of orcas swimming by, thousands of mussels on the rocks, and a black bear who walked down to the shoreline. French Beach is great for picnics and post-hike beachgoing because the parking is close to the water. China Beach was a beautiful sunset beach and felt very private. The Swell Shack had everything we needed in the kitchen, and the composting bathroom was easy to use.

Thank you for being wonderful hosts! The Swell Shack was wonderful, peaceful, and almost surreal compared to our everyday busy lives. We had a wonderful time hiking to Mystic Beach and exploring Botanical Beach, and visiting Sheringham Distillery and Tugwell Creek Honey Farm & Meadery. The Swell Shack had everything we needed, and the guest instructions were straightforward and easy to follow. Thanks again!

The tiny house is perfect, in the middle of the forest, and near by the sea. It's the best place we've been in vancouver Island !

Candice & JS's cabin is amazing and perfectly located for day hiking. We are from the east coast and had 2 days to spend hiking the Juan de Fuca with our kids (6&9). My husband wanted to camp but I was stressed having to worry about shipping all of the gear. Their cottage was the perfect solution! Everyone loved to outdoor shower - the kids wanted to use it twice a day. Candice & JS were amazing hosts, quickly responding to any question and request. I would highly recommend staying at their cabin.

The whole experience around the West Coast Cottage was perfect. The booking couldn't have been easier. Candice and JS made sure we felt welcome with quick responses and lots of information about both the property and the surrounding area. Our trip was for a couple's weekend getaway, which the cottage was perfect for. It had all the creature comforts of home along with the tranquility of being out in the woods. The weekend was spent drinking wine on the patio and feasting on home cooked meals that were easy to prepare in the fully furnished kitchen. We also appreciated how clean the cottage was. Again we would like to thank Candice and JS for the outstanding cottage and hospitality. We look forward to renting again come fall. Patrick & Tessa

Wonderful cabin, definitely would recommend to a friend and look forward to come back one day.

Beautiful cabin! Very clean and modern. We regret that we didn't have time to use the outdoor shower. It looked super funky :)

The place is amazing, beautiful and in a fantastic location. The futon is extremely uncomfortable; it's very hard and has a metal bar running up the middle of it. I'd stay again if I didn't have to sleep on that :)

The cottage was perfect. I actually was pleasantly surprised. It was nicer than I was expecting. Extremely clean, quiet, warm and well put together. The hosts were excellent. We had no issues with accessing the cottage and we had everything we needed for an awesome stay. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone considering it.

Beautiful and clean! Really close to some amazing hiking trails and beaches. Loved it!

Lovely, peaceful and a nice place to rest ... modern & comfortable .. great hosts

This cabin is everything you're looking for! The home itself is absolutely beautiful, you don't even need to leave if you don't want to. The surroundings are quiet, the kitchen has all the basic needs to cook and the shower... is..... awesome (you'll see what I mean). On top of all this you're a very short drive to some gorgeous hikes that will allow you scenic views of the ocean and a setting sun. Definitely recommend this cabin to people looking to disconnect from the world and reconnect with each other.

Thanks to the hospitality of Tim andSeewah we could spend 3 wonderful nights at their hideaway in Jordan River. The wooden house is fresh built and is surrounded by dense forest. The house offers a lot of space, is very well equiped and gave us a time to rest, go for hikes anlong the beaches and in the forest. It was just perfect to stay there at end of your great BC holydays. It is a place we would return at once and we just can highly recommand. Thank you Sewah and Tim for this wonderful stay at your place. With all the best Kathrin & Beat

The house itself if beautiful , feels very new and unlived in which I actually like, I loved how quiet the area is and the big windows that let in every bit of light . Wonderful bathtub!! The only thing was a small mishap re the wifi, the password was missing . Turned out to be ok and we got ahold Of the caretakeron day two but it was mildly irritating . It is a beautiful house in a somewhat remote location , just what I had hoped for .

Seewah & Tim were incredibly sweet and accommodating hosts. Their house in Jordan River is beyond gorgeous and very very comfortable. Can't recommend this place highly enough!

A truly winderful place. The house is beautifully designed and decorated. A real treat to stay in. The magical beaches and rainforests of Vancouver Island a walking distance nearby. We stayed for a small week and enjoyed every moment!

My goodness. Seewah and Tims cabin in the woods is everything you could hope for - and then some. We had a very comfortable stay in their west coast oasis. The two of them have thought of absolutely everything... From amazing ecofriendly soaps, to interesting reads, to a nice Bluetooth speaker and several candles to add ambience, to baskets to use for the local markets! Plus, a heated floor! Just amazing. The wood fire is an amazing touch. The kitchen is fully loaded. The wifi worked just fine. The bathtub was a dream. It was all clean as a whistle. We were happy as clams. Thank you so much, Seewah and Tim! Cannot wait for next time...

What an amazing "cabin"! A perfect private retreat in the woods, with a modern beach bungalow vibe. fantastic shower and tub in the master. A comfy couch to kick back and read a book or just enjoy the scenery inside and out. No TV which didn't bother us, but there is a bluetooth speaker. It's a new construction (as of aug 2017) so the landscaping is still in progress, which i'm sure will be as great as the cabin once it's complete. close to several beaches and surf spots We would stay here again in a heartbeat! Thanks to Bonnie the caretaker/property manager for the coffee bean delivery! & Seewah and Tim for sharing this place!

Sewaah and Tim´s Cabin in Jordan River is a truely amazing place to stay. The photos of the place are gorgeous, but actually being there took our breath away. Our very first reaction was to not leave the house for the next four days at all :-). This was truely the pefect place for our last stop on our three weeks roundtrip through BC.

Remarquable accueil de Kier lors de notre séjour de 3 nuits dans ce havre de paix. Gentillesse et prévenance. Gite tres bien tenu et equipe (jeux et DVD tres apprécies pour les soirees). Lits excellents. Tres bon rapport qualité prix.

Our third visit continues to impress. Can't add more to what others have said - Salty and Suite is a treat! Bonus: The water is delicious and the Nespresso coffee brews up so tasty. Kier and Tim, thanks again.

Salty and Suite is a great location for people doing the Juan de Fuca Trail or just wanting to explore the coast, such as ourselves. It's just south of the trailhead and within easy walking distance both from the highway or if the tide is out, the beach. The lodging was clean and comfortable for our party of hikers and Kier and Tim were very accommodating hosts and kind to no end. We absolutely adored the space, which was a mix of both modern and rustic elements surrounded by a picturesque forest. We would absolutely stay again on our next visit to the island!

We echo everyone else's comments. Everything was just great, especially Kier's hospitality. We stayed 7 nights and enjoyed every minute, despite much rain!

Great quiet and secluded location int he forest. Was exactly as described and Kier and Tim made us feel welcome and guided us for exploration in the area. We wished we could have stayed longer..we'll be back to explore the area again!! Only suggestion - Make sure the plane operator updates their pilots license. :-)

Kier and Tim have gone above and beyond in providing a family friendly and comfortable place with lots of amenities. Their place serves as a great central location along the Juan de Fuca trail from which to make day trips between Port Renfrew and Sooke.

Lovely space, loved watching otters play on the beach and eagle soar. Many trails and amazing waves to be had a short drive away. Beautiful area!!

Even better than expected. The unit was adorable and and comfortable, we wanted to move in. We would spend the days driving around to the local attractions, and then come home to S&S and make food and relax. The beach at the end of the backyard trail is stunning and we were the only people there! Kier was so welcoming and helpful if we needed anything. This was probably one of our favorite places to stay. Highly recommend if you want to just get away and enjoy life :)

Mystic beach vacation home was truly a beautiful experience! The views were stunning, the home itself clean, classy, and comfortable. My husband, his sisters from Germany and myself spent three relaxing days here; and would highly recommend it to all travellers. The photos don't do it justice, it is magical! Margot was accommodating and easy to get in touch with, very pleasant. I have nothing but wonderful things to share about the whole experience. Thank you for making my first airbnb experience a great one!!

Wonderful stay. Perfect experience to get away from it all.

Together with our two small children we spent a pleasant time in this lovely country house. The house is very well located, very charming and completely equipped. The house is really well-designed and lets in lots of natural light. We soaked up the view, which was lovely. It is furnished with care and the kitchen was very convenient. Margot was quick to respond and helpful. We felt very comfortable and welcome. We loved especially the Whirlpool. Lots of wonderful walking paths for exploring lovely beaches are close nearby. Just a wonderful spot if you want to get away from it all.

Stayed 4 nights in this chalet and it was very magical and a work of art for sure. Its a little further from the beach then expected but the surroundings and views were magnificent. The chalet was very well equipped and easy to find and use. Very private, romantic, beautiful views. Jordan River is a amazing place in Canada!

Perfect place for us to spend time as a family! The house is beautiful, exceptionally built and decorated. The views are simply breathtaking. So worth the trip to stay here! The surrounding area offers amazing hiking and places to explore. Margot was a great host and communicated really well with us. As she pointed out, fill up on gas and stock up on groceries before leaving Sooke. Only regret is that we hadn't planned a longer stay! Simply loved Mystic Beach!

This house is beautiful and ideal with friends and kids. Great space and amazing view.

We had an amazing stay! Beautiful view, big hot tub, it was nice r&r!

This home is a wonderful getaway on Vancouver Island! We stayed there in a group of six people and it was absolutely perfect. The kitchen is really well equiped, the beds are good and the hot tub is a dream. The view is breathtaking and we even saw whales from the terrace! We would definitely come back!

Très joli petit chalet dans un bel environnement. Pas d'accès internet à moins de 20 km

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Neil and Shandell's loft cabin during our trip to Vancouver Island! It is such a nice little gem tucked away in the forest not far from the ocean, and has all the amenities one needs for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. They were able to host us at the last minute without an issue, which was very impressive. I highly recommend it and plan on returning again in the future!

Neil and Shandell were such great hosts, couldn't have asked for anything more. All the communication was very detailed, and they were very responsive and provide lots of really useful tips for the area. The cabin itself is in the perfect home base for exploring the Jordan River/China Beach/Sombrio area. It was bigger than expected, very well stocked and clean. A great little cabin, very comfortable, private, and overall a really great value. Even managed to pick a bunch of chanterelles by the river next to the cabin and cook them for dinner.

Our stay at Neil and Shandell's cabin was absolutely wonderful. The cabin was bigger than we expected and is even cuter in person than in the photos. The backyard is lovely - the perfect spot for a morning coffee. The kitchen is well stocked, beds are comfortable and the place was very clean and tidy. We loved all the books in the loft! We would stay here again in a heart beat. Check in and out were easy and all communications with Neil and Shandell were timely and informative. Thank you for being great hosts for the perfect getaway!

Sehr schöne Location in einer sehr einsamen Gegend. Bis nach Sooke sind es eine halbe 6,bis Victoria etwa eine Stunde Fahrzeit. Das Haus ist sehr schön, mit Kamin und gemütlichem Wohnzimmer. Betten sind prima. Wanderziele gibt es in der Umgebung einige, dazu schöne einsame Strände. Finde es etwas zu teuer, aber zu viert passt es.

The pictures sum it up perfectly. Nice quaint cabin. Close to the beautiful coast.

We drove up from Victoria and spent one night at this lovely cabin. We had no problem finding the place. Inside was even more beautiful than the pictures online. It was spacious, clean, and well decorated. We especially enjoyed the book collection! We had dinner at Point No Point Restaurant and hiked to the hidden waterfall at Sombrio Beach. Would recommend both!

Our stay at Neil + Shandell's cabin was wonderful! It had everything we needed. Although it's in a bit of a remote area, it was super easy to find. Kitchen provided us with everything we needed for making meals and we found games, which provided entertainment at night. Will definitely recommend this cabin to friends who may travel to this area!

Cabin was as described, very private and comfortable. Steam shower and wood stove work excellent. Well appointed kitchen (french press, coffee grinder, cookware, etc). Great location! Hosts are prompt and thorough.

Sarah's place in Jordan River was absolutely stunning. It was perfect for our little getaway! The space is big, and boasts high ceilings with lots of window space and light. The beds were super comfortable, the deck is amazing for BBQ'. All in all we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. The beaches in this area are truly magical. I would highly recommend mystic beach. Thanks again Sarah!

Amazing cabin! Very comfortable and cool. Close to beach and hiking.

We had a great stay in Jordan River. Sarah was helpful in getting us oriented. The cabin is comfortable and great for hanging out. The area wonderfully quiet and the easy access to the nearby Juan de Fuca trail and China Beach were excellent.

Had a really great time at the cabin, it was absolutely beautiful. Everything was spotless when we arrived, and the cabin had all the amenities we needed to have a thoroughly relaxing weekend.

This place is so worth it. The location is conveniently located near Jordan River, Mystic Beach, China Beach and many other beautiful spots. The beds are comfy and the view right in the forest makes you feel like you are camping in luxury. We loved it thank you so much!! Hope we can go back soon and will be recommending it others.

My husband and I visited the cabin for a week in June. The cabin was very secluded, which we loved! The fireplace was one of our favorite features and there was plenty of firewood for us to make a fire every night. The upstairs bedroom has the best views- huge windows with trees all around. There is a creek behind the house- you can hear it from the bedroom! Unfortunately, you can also hear trucks on the highway from time to time. The sun could be a little overwhelming at times, making the room a little warm... but overall we had great weather and the house was very comfortable. The kitchen was perfect for making meals- there's plenty of storage and a large selection of cookware and utensils. There is no TV & no cell service, so be prepared to find alternative entertainment. There were several books and board games provided, so we were never bored! The cabin would be perfect for a trip with several people- there's plenty of room.

Located in a quiet cove of tall evergreens, this cabin is a lovely place to pass a few calm days hiking, surfing, or just reading by the fire. The space is open and welcoming, with a large kitchen and sunken great room, high ceilings, a covered porch and open deck, plenty of firewood, and a fantastic steam shower. There are a few quirks to be aware of: -Two of the small bedrooms are reached by ladder, and one requires passage through another bedroom. -The master bedroom lacks a door, though it does have stairs with a 90-degree turn for privacy. -The kitchen cupboards were fully stocked with what appeared to be private foodstuffs, so storage for your own food may need to be out on the counter. (There is PLENTY of counter space.) -Clothing storage areas were also fully occupied when we stayed; plan to store your clothing in your luggage or use the ample bedroom floor space. -You will need to pack out your trash. Local facilities are open Monday-Saturday. This is overall a pleasant place for a small, close group of people seeking quiet time together.

Pascale, Chris et leur bébé Julian sont très accueillants et nous ont donnés de bons conseils pour visiter la région. L'emplacement est magnifique (face à la mer). L'appartement est entièrement équipé (salle de bain, cuisine, télévision, ...). Merci pour l'accueil !

Beautiful remote spot. Simple but clean accomodation with everything you need!

This listing was quite cozy! Plenty of heaters to make you feel like you never left California. The views are amazing and waking up to the views of Olympic National Park was just breathtaking. They had a great selection of movies to watch after winding down from dinner. Their kitchen was great to make full blown meals. We enjoyed the solitude of Jordan River and their complimentary soaps (we're still using them on our trip btw. Thank you so much for the stay.

Delightful accommodation halfway between Port Renfrew and Sooke. Slept 5 people quite comfortably. Clean spacious, bright. Newly renovated, all appliances in good condition. Peaceful surroundings, close to the ocean and a short drive into town. Thank you to Pascale and Chris for a wonderful stay, highly recommended!

Pascale and Chris were amazing hosts. Very thoughtful of our visit to the outdoors of Vancouver Island. The accommodations are very clean, cozy, and nearby to Jordan River for ocean activities.

The location was perfect for a group wishing to explore the Juan de Fuca area. We had come down from a long visit on Botanical beach and so enjoyed the clean, quiet accommodation. We all enjoyed using the local handmade soap. Pascale and Chris were both very welcoming. Our youngest child especially enjoyed being able to play with the baby.

We enjoyed our stay at Second Creek Farm & Guest House very much. The accommodation is spacious, clean and has all amenities you would need. Especially the quietness we enjoyed. A perfect place to relax. We recommend staying here on your way from Victoria over Port Renfrew to Lake Cowichan and Crofton. Chris is great host and we want to thank him.

Pascale and Chris made us feel very welcome and we very much enjoyed their lovely suite and surrounding land. Thanks for your hospitality!

The cottage was perfect in every way. The view was our favorite part.

Incredible stay at the cottage. What a beautiful location, very secluded and "in the wilderness". A short drive from some great cafe's and local supermarkets to stock up, then all you need is to put the fire on or wander down to the beach to watch the waves and the stars! Only an hour or so from Victoria where you can go on a whale watching tour, eat at the many restaurants and bars and see all the nice shops in town. Andrew was very accommodating throughout and we enjoyed it so much we cancelled the rest of our vacation to stay here for longer. Would recommend this beautiful island and Andrew's cottage for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. Thanks again

This is a magical place to experience the epitome of the west coast. Having no reception was intended and it was amazing to check out and just focus on spending time with family, cooking, the outdoors. I've recommended Andrews place to friends and I'll be back if any weekends over the summer open up! Don't wait, if you see your dates open book now!

To sum up Andrew's cabin in one word, it would be perfect! It's so nice and private which is exactly what we love in a place. And while being private, it is so very accessible to the attractions in the area as well as the beach in front of his cabin itself. We had an amazing time. My wife and I have 2 girls, age 7 and 4, and they loved it out there too. Between beach combing, taking in the sights and coming back to the cabin for a beautiful fire at the end of the day, every day we experienced out there was awesome! Thanks to Andrew who was a terrific host and has a gorgeous place to unwind, enjoy, relax and share adventures. A favorite place of ours now for sure!!! :)

This was a much-needed getaway for me and my Fiance. If you are looking for an unforgettable quiet getaway with your own private beach and a good amount of outdoor space with a warm cozy cabin this is it. Andrew is clearly an experienced host who has everything down to a science. I don't think I have ever had many vacations go as wonderful and smooth as this one. It was so relaxing and rejuvenating, The natural beauty that surrounds you is inspiring. I usually always give advice to the host on what to do to make the stay better however I cannot think of anything in this case at all. Well done Andrew thank you very much for everything we will most likely be back in the new year.

Everything about the cottage was perfect. It has all the amenities and little details (such as comfortable beds and quality linens) required for a much needed, off-the-grid family getaway. It's centrally located between a dozen hikes and tourist attractions, if you can bring yourself to leave the comfort of the cabin. Andrew went above and beyond what hosting is and he really made our stay very enjoyable, even when we some unexpected car problems. We are very much looking forward to coming back to experience it in the summer.

Beyond our expectations, super fantastic views and cottage. Homely, warm and cosy. Big log burner, great view, private deck and assess to beach below. Sat in the house or on the upper deck, you can here the waves below, see the stars, and the moonlight across the water. Great place to eat, Shirley Delicious, just up the road, for great breakfasts and lunches. Had a fantastic 5days there.

This place was awesome, exactly as described and very clean. If you want to get away from everything and have a private little beach to yourself, this is the perfect spot. Just note that there is no cell service or wifi, but there is a coffee shop a 5 min drive away with wifi if you're desperate.

Le cottage est un vrai dépaysement. Le logement est très propre, bien décoré, avec une belle vue depuis la terrasse et à proximité des plages. Le petit déjeuner était excellent : du très bon pain, du bon jus de fruit, des céréales, des fruits, des yaourts et de la confiture maison. Tout y était ! L'accueil est très sympathique (Marty, Ava, leur fils, leurs chats et leur gentil toutou nous ont très bien accueillis). La forge apporte une vraie originalité au lieu et permet de rapporter un souvenir authentique et réellement "made in Canada",  rien à voir avec les boutiques de souvenirs que nous trouvons partout dans les lieux "touristiques"! Encore merci à nos hôtes. Alex et Antoine.

Extraordinary experience at Foggy Mountain Forge. The metal art is incredible, in a beautiful tranquil setting. A lovey room with great decor, scrupulously clean. The nearby provincial park, French Beach, is a good beach walk spot and picnic area. Be sure to bring any extra food or snacks if you want them; it's a bit of a drive back to Sooke. Marty and Ava offer good local information about the Marine Trail and nearby hiking. Marty is happy to share his skill and knowledge as he demonstrates his skills as a blacksmith and creative artist. The great gates, gold bronze and silver dragons, are unforgettable.

Cozy, comfortable, and clean located right across from French beach. Really nice people - would come back!

I had a wonderful stay. The cabin was as pictured and exactly what I needed for a little writing getaway. The farm is surrounded by nature so I could escape for a run when I needed a break and I was supplied with healthy breakfast and delicious fresh baked bread. Could not have asked for better. I would definitely stay again!

Staying at the Foggy Mountain B&B offered us everything we needed: a great location to start our south coast adventures from. Beautiful bedroom, clean and spacious bathroom and a perfect terrace with view to enjoy our breakfast coffee and scones on. Their entire family was very welcoming and always helped us out with advice on where to go and what to do. We definitely recommend this place, we would have loved to spend more days there!!

Marty und Ava sind sehr nette und unkomplizierte Gastgeber, man hatte stets das Gefühl, dass ihnen viel daran gelegen ist, dass man sich wohl fühlt und eine tolle Zeit hat. Das Cottage ist sehr neuwertig ist mit allem ausgestattet was man sich vorstellen kann. Herausragend ist das Frühstück, da es täglich frische selbstgebackene Köstlichkeiten von Ava gibt! Wir empfehlen die Unterkunft uneingeschränkt weiter.

Marty & Ava's cottage was perfect for a weekend getaway. Great firepit, and good breakfast supplies to start your day. We were able to explore all the beaches along the JDF and it was a great spot to come to after long days of adventuring.

Beautiful setting and very friendly hosts who seemed open to visiting or giving us our space. Great restaurants within a quick drive (Point No Point for dinner, Shirley Delicious for breakfast). Hosts left lovely snacks for breakfast including fresh blackberries.

We had an amazing time. The place was spacious and clean with a breathtaking view, it is fully equipped that we had everything that we needed. Cindy responded quickly to our messages and greeted us at the door when we arrived. I would highly recommend this rental, we all loved it.

The host canceled this reservation 103 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Cindy is a very nice person! The house look amazing; she had some ingredients ready for us to prepare a good breakfast. We really enjoy sitting in the living room or outside looking at the view. And "what a treat" spending time in the hot tub with a gorgeous view.

What a place! We are a family of 6, we stayed for a long weekend. We absolutely loved everything. This place has gotten everything - beautiful lounge, kitchen, 3 specious bed rooms, hot tub, and the private beach.Once you walk in, you will be amazed by the view from the huge windows. The kitchen is fully equipped, and Cindy and Darren left breakfast essentials including homemade samosas! (We found it on the last day! Make sure you find it on the first day:)). Cindy and Darren were a lovely lovely host. And the booking and check-in was smooth as well. There was nothing more we could ask for, and we will definitely come back!

This is the most scenic place we have ever stayed. We even saw pods of orcas from the living room windows! Cindy was very responsive, organized and friendly. We would happily stay again. :)

The host canceled this reservation 150 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Sugar Bear Cove is a very magical place - one of the most beautiful spots we have ever seen. With the perfect view on the water, the beach just a few steps away and the whole property surrounded by nature - if paradise is half as nice... Darla was a wonderful host and both responsive and supportive. It was a great stay - we highly recommend it.

It was a perfect getaway for families and couples alike. Breathtaking ocean view, private beach. The host was absolutely awesome, a fire was started when we arrived! Highly recommended.

This is the perfect place to unwind from busy schedules. We had a wonderful time on the beach and enjoyed the cabin's seclusion. It was very comfortable and clean. We look forward to returning again and again. Darla was a wonderful host and very nice to work with. We recommend this property wholeheartedly.

Very beautiful house and a Fantastic view to the sea And an own beach In the morning came rabbits and birds

Stunning location - beautiful grounds with a breathtaking view of the ocean - and a beautiful home. The tree house was an unexpected delight, especially for our grandchildren. Perfect location with easy access to beaches, provincial parks, and all that the area has to offer. Darla was a very responsive host - always got back to us right away and provided helpful recommendations. Highly recommend staying here! Will definitely come back if we visit this area again.

Beautiful, amazing, tranquil place.. We would move in given half a chance! Great hosts and just an amazing time had by all.. Would give more stars if possible.

Secluded comfortable property with great seaview and secluded beach. Many steps to the beach! Perfect as base for sightseeing and activities.

Sugar Bear is as sweet as it sounds. A beautiful well appointed home set in lush west coast grounds. Relaxing view of the ocean, large lounge for long family dinners and its own private beach. Will be recommending Sugar Bear to family and friends.

A truly beautiful cabin, well laid out, great amenities and a gorgeous, secluded location. The view of the ocean is stunning! The hosts are very friendly and discrete.

Our stay at Ron and June's Port Cottage was nothing short of magical. We spent the first day lounging, walking on their beach, and sitting in the hot tub. Day 2 we took a day trip to Victoria, which was fun, but we couldn't wait to get back to the relaxing environment at the cabin. Ron gave us great suggestions for the area and we spend the 3rd day at China Beach Provincial Park. If you are searching for the ultimate relaxation vacation with some fun day trip options, look no further. We hope to visit again in the future! Thank you, Ron and June for creating the perfect getaway! -Jennifer & David

Fantastic get away! From the moment we arrived, relaxation settled in. Wish we could have stayed longer. Everything was as described. Lots of thoughtful conveniences. June and her husband Ron were great. Respectful of our privacy but not far off when needed. Beautiful, comfortable place. Plan to stay for a few days! Highly recommended.

We loved our stay at the Starboard Cottage at Orveas Bay Resort. Amazing views, everything you could need provided, relaxing hot tub, and totally quiet and private accommodations. Thanks June and Roy for making us to welcome!

Great hosts, great place, great experience. Loved everything and will return!

The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.

I almost don't want to tell anyone about this place, so it can remain be my little secret, but here goes.. The hosts have really created a beautiful west coast treasure. The hot tub, the views of the Olympic Mountain range, and the hammock were just what we needed on our weekend away. We had a great time, and can't wait to come back.

What a wonderful experience! The open and friendly attitude with which we were welcomed set the course for the entire weekend here. We couldn't have asked for better hosts or accommodations. June and Ron were some of the nicest people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting when renting through Airbnb. June introduced herself when we arrived, and took the time to give us a short tour of the cottage and the grounds. She was personable and charming, and her knowledge of the area was very much appreciated. The cottage itself was even better than I'd imagined, and the view of the strait was magnificent. I would (and think likely will) go back again sometime. Though they weren't low to begin with after seeing the beautiful photos on their website, my expectations were definitely exceeded.

Lovely place near the beach.

Perfect for a weekend away! Comfortable and had everything we needed.

Cute cabin, nice scenery and a pleasant place out of the way to relax at. The smoke detector needs to be checked out though. When we arrived it was very loud for the first hour and a half we were there. The emergency contacts were very helpful and the issue was temporarily resolved. Overall the place was clean and other than the noise in the beginning everything was great.

This house is charming, welcoming, and very warm. We had a wonderful time, and enjoyed the hot tub immensely! Thank you for your hospitality!

This was second time. So its abvious why did we chose to stay here. It was one of the memorable vacation we had. The one word which sums up this place is awesome. We would like to come here again.

Seastar Cottage exceeded my expectations. I booked it for a girl's weekend thinking that it might be a tight squeeze for 6 to cook and hang out in but the pictures actually made the house seem smaller than it is! We were trapped inside because of the rain, but the house had ample space so we didn't feel claustrophobic and we were able to enjoy the hot tub which is nice in any weather. The gin distillery next door is very cute and the beach in front is wonderful, even with the rain! We also met Corinne's caretaker who brought over some deck chairs on Saturday. He was very friendly and answered my questions and apologized that the driveway was a bit tough to get up - I didn't think it was a problem at all but he was very kind. Too bad we didn't get to use the deck chairs due to the weather. The internet was down but this was a blessing in disguise - it was nice to check out for a while. My only concern is that I may have forgotten some of the clean up steps because I couldn't access the instructions sent to me by Corinne on the Air BnB app. Thank you Corinne for letting us use your lovely home.

Corinne's place is wonderful for a West Coast get away! It's a little bit secluded which gives you the feeling of the true getaway, but close enough to Sooke to take advantage of a few of the amenitities and adventures on offer. Sooke Potholes and kayaking in the Sooke Basin with an apreskayak drink on the outdoor patio at the Stickleback West Coast Eatery made our weekend!! Highly recommended, enjoy!

Fabulous location, house is very well appointed. The constant sound of the surf crashing onto Flea Beach is wonderful. We sat out in the hot tub at night looking at the magnificent starry skies which our kids thought was just the best thing. The nearest beach is genuinely 1 minute away and has a great rope swing for kids and adults alike. In short - we had a brilliant time. The house was cosy with 6 and is definitely not huge but it was just right to chill out at the end of a road trip the length of the West Coast. Oo - btw - if you are there in summer and you love wild swimming, check out the Sooke potholes. Swimming there ran seeing the eclipse a close second as highlight of the entire trip.

Mark & Marie were very friendly & wonderful hosts. They live on the adjacent property & were very responsive to any questions. They left some greats treats, including fresh fruit and other breakfast food. The house was comfortable but could use a deep cleaning. It is located next to the highway but it isn't very loud with traffic. It was situated in a great location for us to explore that part of the island. Overall the place was very nice and the goats were a delight!

Cute cottage. Well located for various outdoor activities on South Vancouver Island. Perfect for our younger family with backyard space for our boys. Mark and Marie are fantastic hosts and very knowledgeable about local points of interest.

Lovely place to stay on the from Sooke to Fort
