This was a beautiful home in an amazing location. It was very clean, and extremely well stocked, in terms of kitchen and bathroom supplies.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
We had a great vacation on Vancouver Island. The home is beautiful, spacious, clean with amazing views. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home and enjoy the beautiful island.
We had a wonderful stay! The house was exceptionally clean and thoughtfully laid out—perfectly accommodating our group of six. Everyone slept comfortably, and the overall atmosphere made it easy to relax and enjoy our time together. The kitchen was particularly impressive—well-equipped, spacious, and a real highlight of the home. We truly appreciated the attention to detail and would happily stay here again.Two words quiet, and comfortable!
Beautiful house amazing view, recommend this house the only down fall was our stay was only 3 nights. Truly amazing house, found Sooke to be a great alternative to Victoria. The kids enjoyed private beach scavenging for crabs and any other creature they could find. Thank you!
We had a great stay at this house. A group of friends stayed for my birthday weekend and we enjoyed sitting on the balconies, watching otters and seals swim in the inlet. Sooke is a cute town close enough to Victoria to explore.
It was a beautiful place to stay for the 8 we had I. Our group, which included two kids and 6 adults,were very comfortable! The house was gorgeous and immaculate! Every Amenity you would ever need was anticipated by our host. The ocean view was breathtaking and the playful otters and seals on the dock were fun for all to watch! We appreciated the garage space as a place we could park our electric bikes as well. The beds were comfortable and the pillows were SO fluffy and nice. The highlight of the house was the huge windows on both levels and the outdoor decks that provided spectacular views of the ocean and sea life. The beach was easily accessible and the pathway was well groomed. Some in our party enjoyed paddle boarding there as well. We would definitely recommend this house to anyone staying in the Sooke area!!
We had a family get together and this house was perfectly suited for it. The views are incomparable, both sunrise and sunset. Seals lounging on the dock next door and otters playing right in front of the house were unexpected gifts

Thoroughly enjoyed a great family holiday at this beautiful home!
This was a perfect home for our family holiday. Great location, lots to do nearby, beautiful oceanfront views, and plenty of space for our family group to comfortably enjoy time together, and also have a bit of privacy and separation if needed. We saw otters and deer on the property, and watched seals and various birds from the spacious windows facing the ocean. Would highly recommend and would love to go back again some day.
This property is definitely in my top three! The beds were comfortable, the home very well appointed with everything you could possibly need, and the location is absolutely top-notch! Thank you so much for sharing this lovely home and the beautiful surroundings with us!
The property was amazing, unreal views and a great space to come and relax with family. The house was fully equipped with everything we needed. Would definitely stay again!
Property is well equipped to handle an extended family of ten. Great location and no lack of amenities. Everyone had very comfortable sleeping and washroom facilities. Family meals were were not a problem. Highly recommend this property.

Best vacation ever
I loved everything about this house and how beautiful the surrounding area was. I'm so sad I had to leave!!!!!
What a lovely home and the views are amazing, it is exactly as represented in the listing. The house is spacious, comfortable, well appointed, and has everything you would need for an en enjoyable stay, The views are incredible..... it is peaceful, quiet, and private. Watching sea birds, eagles, otter, seals, etc from the spacious deck and from inside the home was a bonus. Communication with the owner was excellent. We stayed for 1 month and would not hesitate to stay there again and to recommend it to others.
The property has gorgeous views that you'll never get tired of looking at! The kitchen is well-equipped with everything you need if you like to cook like we do. Beds are comfortable with great linens. Our whole family had a lovely stay.
This was the perfect spot for a quiet group getaway celebratory weekend. Stunning property inside and out. Immaculately appointed home with an incredible view. Well equipped kitchen and very comfortable furnishings. Close to all the amazing outdoor spots that Sooke has to offer. We truly hope to return to this spot again!
We had a wonderful time staying in this tranquil local with amazing views! The modern home had a large, well-equipped kitchen with windows overlooking the water. The bedrooms were spacious and not on top of each other so everyone had their own space. We enjoyed hiking, kayaking, whale watching, salmon fishing, visiting farmers’ markets, and gazing at wildlife- all in Sooke.
We had a wonderful stay and lucked out with spectacular weather. The house was comfortable, clean, and spacious. There were many extras in the kitchen which was a nice surprise. We had a local in-house chef 2 nights and she was fantastic.
Thanks, Gordon!
We were a large group of extended family including a two year old. The house was so incredibly well-provisioned and comfortable for all of us. All of the thought that has gone into making this house an excellent home-base was really appreciated, and the views and location are the first rate! Thanks for having us.
Expectations and promises met and exceeded. Gordon was friendly and accommodating.
Other than a hot tub (which we did not expect), couldn't ask for anything else!
Younger daughter and family could not make it down from Birken because of black ice, which was disappointing. Maybe next year!
We had a great time at the house. The views are great, the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen is very nice and well stocked (we were not sure since there wasn't a picture of it). We liked the location, as we were just as likely to head for beaches and hikes to the west as we were to head towards Victoria. A few things to be aware of: you have to walk about 50 feet outside from the door of the optional suite to the front door of the house (fortunately it was not raining), and the pull out couch downstairs has no privacy and hears all the noises from upstairs, too. Overall, a great place for a large group, and we would definitely stay here again.

About the host
Hosted by gordon fika
My wife and I used to travel west to the Vancouver area Islands with our two children when they were small. We explored the beaches and tidal pools enjoying morning coffee while the kids beach combed, went fishing and hiking, and kayaking. The ocean always has wildlife activity geese, otters, seal and a lot of crab, shrimp and fish.
We rented a house out here in Sooke in 2000 after we completed a week of trekking on the West Coast Trail - and it was a luxurious end to a great experience.
Why they chose this property
We wanted an area close to a city, yet away from it all.
We selected this property because of its spectacular view and quietness, and its location: its midway between the lovely hiking spots of East Sooke and various tidal pool beaches.
We just built (sep. 2012) a contemporary west coast style inviting place designed by a Victoria architect: it is quite an improvement to the old house torn down in 2007.
We wanted a clean, efficient and strong place It is warm and cosy, energy efficient, and built to current seismic standards.
What makes this property unique
WOW, is the word heard most often when people come for a visit. We have a truly stunning view from most rooms and guest area. You can walk down the 25 steps and explore the beach in low tide. Or sit out in comfort on the decks looking right into the water. On clear nights you can watch the moon rise and travel, across the Sooke basin, its reflecting lights playing on the often still waters of the basin.
Handy to hiking, biking trails, fishing from the property, kayaking, mountain biking and wildlife watching right. It is handy and quiet and truly an outdoor activity center thats away from it all.
