BEACH NOTE- the wet sand beach is only available during spring/summer low tides, it changes time from 6 am to noon on different days.
There are usually no low tides in the afternoon.
When the wet sand is exposed there is about 50 more feet of sand underwater to about waist deep, and you can walk for 1,000 feet.
When tides are higher you can still go down the steps and walk around and over large rocks to the water.

With low or high tides there is always danger if the waves are large.
Children can’t be left alone at the water, stairs or cliffs.

Remember there are 60 steps to the beach so it’s hard to carry kayaks or canoes down.

It's a studio with limited cooking so not suitable for stays over 4 days, we have two other spaces more suitable, so just ask please.

2 k away you have French Beach Park with beach exposed all day.

Fantastic relaxing retreat

A very high end accommodation located in a superb setting outside of Sooke. The property has everything that you need for a quiet and relaxing trip and can be used as a base to explore the surrounding beaches and hiking trails. Excellent communication with the owners before and during stay. We would highly recommend the property. Thank you for hosting us.

Everything we were hoping for!

Beautiful, quiet and private location, stunning views, eagles, hummingbirds, water, mountains, nature trails and beaches for walks. The studio apartment was perfect for the two of us, and very comfortable - as pictured! Planning to go back for a longer stay, and have already told a number of our friends. Rob was an amazing host.

Cozy retreat

We came out for some hiking and a cozy retreat for a couple of days. This place lived up to its description and was very welcoming and comfortable. We did some hiking (and got very wet) and found it a lovely place to come back to. The local wood-fired pizza from Stoked made for a delicious treat. About the only thing we could have used that wasn't there is a drying rack!

Perfection

When these days are you ever shocked by somebody going above and beyond…? Or when a place you goto far exceeds your expectations when you are pretty sure it’s going to be excellent in the first place…? This is the place and Robert is the owner… We frequent this area and how great was it to find Roberts property and well appointed suite…very great! The ocean deck alone is worth the price of admission, (spectacular!) However the excellence just continues through the suite with…everything! The fine craftsmanship and thought that has gone into building and designing this place is tasteful and modern. You have everything you want but it maintains a minimalist calming design. Fine leather chairs, giant shower, amazing bed with views, and blackout shades when needed…it has it all! Robert was the perfect host, knowledgeable about the area and friendly to talk to yet, yielding to let you enjoy your stay! Thank you! We will be back for sure! Can’t wait….

A Perfect Place to Rest and Recharge

Rob was an excellent host. The ocean view from the suite was great; the deck was even better. In our brief time there, we saw otters, seals, whales, and eagles. The finishing/design of the suite itself was stunning - the pictures don't do it justice! The cabinets, shelves, doors, and paneling is all custom millwork. There's a HUGE walk-in shower and the bathroom would not be out-of-place in a boutique hotel. The kitchen is very well appointed. Though there's no stove/hotplate, the microwave and toaster oven was perfectly sufficient for our needs. It was everything we were looking for. We'll definitely be coming back for another visit :)
