East Sooke Vacation Home
The property was incredibly clean and tidy. We loved the wood stove and the fact that there was plenty of firewood ready to go. The view was beautiful and the hot tub was enjoyed by all. The island in the kitchen was useful and really allowed us to prep meals without bumping into one another. The host was helpful and we appreciated the extra time when entering and leaving the property. Some suggestions to stay competitive: 1) Have the address numbers at the bottom of the driveway reflective so they can be seen in the dark. Almost impossible to see the driveway entrance in the dark. 2) Make sure clients are aware of the steepness of the driveway, especially in the off season months. 3) The motion detection lights at the front of the house were not working and this made it difficult to see when approaching the house to park. 4) Consider replacing or repairing frying pans that are old and losing their coating. 5) Have a manual for the wood stove, hot tub, and barbecue close at hand in case of malfunctions. It took considerable effort to start the barbecue and figure out the dampening system on the wood stove. 6) When I booked the home, I indicated there would be a child with us. After I noticed the paperwork only said 5 adults, I corrected that by paying for an extra person. However, I continued to receive paperwork that only had 5 adults on it. I would be looking for consistency in paperwork when I book my next holiday.

Making Memories That Last A Lifetime
We came out here from Kitchener to visit family that live in in Kelowna. We're here and we had a wonderful time connecting with each other. The cottage was perfect for that. The area was wonderful to explore. Lots of wildlife and serene places to visit. We are thankful for this trip 😊

Cottage
Very nice house/cottage off the beaten path. Older style and furnishings, but very clean and well maintained property. We enjoyed the winding back roads, local beaches and rocky points with the forested property. After each day’s adventures as the nights cooled of, the hot tube was a welcome site. Most touristy places were about an hour drive from this location for us it worked well. If nothing else the driveway is adventure in it self. Would stay here again for sure!

Great vacation home
We had four adults stay at this property and we all agreed it was an excellent home. The home has everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. Secluded, quiet beautiful view, the hot tub was great to use after long days of hiking the amazing trails close by. Would definitely recommend Andover cottage for anyone staying on the island.
