Stayed for 5 days at the end of March with our family of 3.The location is fantastic and the view of the harbour is lovely. It was a great starting point to do some hikes and beach visits north and close enough to get to Victoria for other activities.Was quiet at night with minimal traffic. Our teen enjoyed having his own room/space and there was enough space in the living/kitchen area for all of us.Kitchen was adequately supplied, but new pans would be good as they are teflon and scratchedWe brought our own coffee but there was some ground coffee and tea bags in the cupboard, sugar, salt and pepperBedrooms are roomy and beds were ok although we prefer a firmer mattress. The linens need to be updated as the were pretty worn and pilling.There are some household maintenance issues that need to be addressed that we let Rick know about - they are not deal breakers but wear and tear is showing.Rick was great to deal with, very prompt in responding and info package on whats out and about in the Sooke area was helpful and appreciated.Ella beach which is a couple minutes north of the condo is a great rock hounds beach, found lots of interesting rocks for our collector.We also hit a few beaches on the way to Port Renfrew definately worth taking a leisurely day to stop in at all of them on the way. The road to PR is very pretty but bumpy and twisty - gravol a must for anyone who gets carsick.Overall we enjoyed our stay and would like to explore more next time
