About the host

Hosted by Jackie Straughan

Host profile image
We came to BC with work, and fell in love with the island and the weather. We both enjoy hiking, biking and kayaking, and what better place to do all that than here.

Why they chose this property

Our work brings us all over Canada. (we splice fiber for the telecom industry ) My wife and I have seen some truly amazing places But they do not seem to compare to the AW inspiring views and feeling we get from the East Sooke house property. We hope you can experience it first hand.

What makes this property unique

Rating from previous Guests
Erlangen, Germany
Great views in quiet surroundings
We stayed there for twelve days and really enjoyed the house and the garden with all the variety of birds stopping by, the rabbit family living there and a deer from time to time outside the fenced area.
The view over the bay is stunning each time of the day and we didn't get tired of it.
We cooked every day, kitchen is well equipped and in good condition.
Our son is 6 and the shorter trails had been ideal.
Some nice beaches close by.
