About this property
Oceanfront/French Beach, king studio condo, ocean stairs, quiet area, fire pit
SPECIAL-ask about discount for some late fall to early spring dates.
These dates are also an excellent time to visit our west coast, while avoiding the summer holiday traffic.

Cedar coast retreat was designed for your quiet enjoyment, double drywall, extra sound guard wall and ceiling insulation, and double walls between suites
No cooking, refrigerator/small freezer, dishwasher, sink, toaster, toaster oven, kettle, microwave, Keurig, French Press, counter space, cabinets, no ice,

3 restaurants within 2 miles, (seasonal, some days per week closings, call before you go, shopping in Sooke is 20 minutes.
Beautiful views across Juan de Fuca Strait to the Olympic Mountains in
Washington State and a close up view of the famous French Beach.
Tranquil, dark sky viewing 20 minutes from town. Whale watching in season.
Great spring flower gardens, lots of private parking,
Relax and settle here for your entire stay or tour many close destinations.
French Beach Provincial Park is within 2 K, and Juan de Fuca Provincial Park, China Beach, Sombrio Beach, Sandcut Beach, Port Renfrew, Sooke and Victoria are all with in 30 to 60 K drive.
No smoking, 12 stairs to lower unit, 60 stairs to beach,
not suitable for people with mobility issues,
minimum age is 25,
car required to drive to shopping and destinations
There are 2 other condos on the property and are all self contained with bathrooms, kitchens,
there may be an opportunity to rent more space if available.
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, no cooking, toaster, toaster oven, kettle, microwave, keurig/French Press, 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.
Parties and events
Sorry, we are not allowed by zoning, insurance or booking sites to host larger groups of people on the property.
We can suggest booking the group camping site at French Beach Provincial Park 1 kilometer from us.
It can accommodate 45 travelers in tents or trailers and it has a covered area with picnic table seating for 30. There is a nice walkway to the ocean.
Two kilometers from us we have Shiley Community Hall which also has a covered picnic area and the hall has capacity for 65 persons, washrooms, seating, stage area and a kitchen.
It is priced very reasonably but does not allow alcohol to be served.
It is next to our famous Shirley Delicious Café for catering, coffee, ice cream sandwiches and shopping.
We can help you with questions and contacts for bookings if you are interested.
These locations can host weddings, reunions and other events.

-oceanfront views from every room make us think we are still on vacation
after living here for over 3 years,
-3 acres of privacy and quiet solitude, but only 20 minutes from shopping,
-wildlife with whales, seals, otters, bears, deer, cougar, bald eagles, hummingbirds,
viewed at times throughout the year (no guarantee of daily sightings)
We wouldn't choose to live any where else.
