Our stay at Sooke Harbor was unexpected in that a forest fire prevented us from reaching our Tofino resort. We feel fortunate this happened! The townhouse in which we stayed was well maintained and clean. We had a lovely view of the harbor (Suite 118) and were just a very short walk from the dock. We even saw sea lions on our first night . The staff was lovely and Jade helped us navigate our day trips by providing a map and great suggestions about the activities that would best fit us. Since we live in Florida, it is doubtful we will ever return to Vancouver Island, however, I highly recommend those do plan a stay considerSooke Harbor Marina and Resort.

Hi MaryBB2510, Thank you for sharing your experience with us at Sooke Harbour Resort & Marina! We're sorry to hear that your original plans were disrupted by a forest fire, but we're glad that you found a silver lining in your unexpected stay with us. It's wonderful to know that you found the townhouse well maintained and clean. Suite 118 sounds like it provided you with a lovely view of the harbor, and being just a short walk from the dock must have been convenient for exploring the area. The sighting of sea lions on your first night sounds like a delightful surprise! We're thrilled to hear that our staff, particularly Jade, provided you with excellent service and helpful guidance for your day trips. While it may be unlikely that you'll have the opportunity to return to Vancouver Island from Florida, we truly appreciate your recommendation of Sooke Harbour Resort & Marina to others who are planning a stay in the area. Should your future travels bring you back to this region, we hope you'll consider us again. Best regards, Rachel Aylesworth Social Media & Marketing Coordinator

We enjoyed the time at the resort recently - 5 days spent exploring the West Coast area of Vancouver Island. The property was very spacious and as a family of 4 it suited us very well. The views of the harbour and mountains were beautiful from the top of the house. We were able to go whale watching from the dock on the resort and also rented kayaks. Overall a great place to stay - although you have to enjoy laid back living as it is all about returning to the wilderness in this area. We were very lucky with the weather so plenty of beaches and hikes to explore,

Having recently booked unit 126 via Airbnb for 2 couples (4-night stay), we were looking forward to this place which appeared very promising. The good thing was that the beds were comfy and the location is great. There were a few minor issues like neither bathtub having a useable stopper. One was missing completely and the other leaked. We found innovative ways of keeping the water in for baths. The drinking water tastes of chlorine, even after boiling. The downstairs bathroom needed a thorough cleaning, especially around the toilet area and the mirror hadn’t been wiped in ages. The worst thing was that when we read the ‘house rules’ (not the same as the listing one) that was in the entrance area, we discovered that, despite paying a hefty $150 for cleaning, we were still expected to: take out the garbage, run the dishwasher and a load of laundry (towels) before departure. This is outrageous and after travelling for over 40 years in many countries, this has never been demanded. This is no way to treat any guest. Airbnb have been made aware of this issue and because they edit reviews heavily, the next guests will not be aware of what to expect. The extra $ for fees, service charges and cleaning made this stay a very costly one and not good value.…

This property is fantastic! We had a group of 6 adults (3 couples) and stayed in the 3 bedroom townhouse. Each couple got their own bathroom (only one was an in-suite) which was an excellent feature. The unit had everything we needed to make dinner (we opted to cook at home more often than eating out). It was also very well stocked with lots of extra towels. There are 2 hot tubs on premises but during our stay, only one of them was open so in the evenings there was a wait to use it but it was well worth it (so relaxing!). This is a great home away from home, complete with washer and dryer. The property is located with easy access to restaurants and shopping in town, but also right along the highway that takes you to other beautiful destinations along the coast when you want to explore outside of Sooke. Check in was easy and the communication from the property management team was great. We did have a minor trouble with the Simplex lock on that first day because we weren't sure how it worked. Clearer instructions would have been super helpful but once it we figured it out, it was easy to work. Loved the stay and I look forward to returning!…

The resort is located centrally with amenities such as restaurants and shopping close by. The units have a great ocean view which can be enjoyed from a balcony off the kitchen or bedroom. However, I was not impressed by the cleanliness of the unit. The rugs were fiilthy and had stains in many spots as well as all up the stairs. These should have been cleaned before renting it out to anyone. The receptionist, when told of this merely replied "well it's the end of the season and we'll do a deep clean then." I certainly did not feel valued as a paying customer and especially since they advertise that extra cleaning was attended to because of covid. As well, what few amenities there were in the unit, they were not cleaned at all. For example, the dish soap lid was missing and soap had gathered around the spout for sometime since the bottle was nearly empty. We had to go down to the reception area to get it refilled and that just came from a bigger bottle. As well extra toilet paper was not restocked in the cupboard. For the amount we paid, I would have expected more from this resort. …

Hi wonderbar, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent stay with us. While we are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the views from your suite, we are disappointed that you felt as though elements of your stay were less than exemplary. We have ongoing refurbishment projects that help keep our rooms up to date, but I will make sure to mention your comments to our General Manager so she can look into this further. If you haven’t already done so, please contact our General Manager, Jenn Buerge. She will be more than happy to speak to you about your experience and work with you to remedy the situation. Jenn can be reached at jbuerge@truekey.ca. We hope you took some positive memories away with you as well from your visit and these incidents did not place us in your permanent disfavour. We would very much appreciate the opportunity to welcome you back to Sooke Harbour Resort & Marina to impart a more positive guest experience. Warm Regards, Rachel Aylesworth Social Media & Marketing Coordinator

Our 3 bedroom unit was well equipped and more than enough space for the two of us. We had balcony with BBQ off the kitchen and balcony off the master. We loved the view of Whiffin Spit from the master, sipping wine and watching the sun set. Location was great and close to downtown Sooke, Whiffin Spit and Galloping Goose trail. Easy access to Highway 14, if you want to go to Botanical, Sombrio or China Beach. The check-in process was digital, but very easy to use. No early check-ins at this property. Check out time of 10am was quite early, so we half packed the night before. I would definitely stay here again!

We lucked out and caught a reservation for Christmas here. It was the most relaxing mini holiday in years. We arrived with our two teenage boys and were thrilled with how spacious and beautiful our unit was. It was spotless and when we left we tried to leave it as clean as when we arrived 5 days prior. Great internet, tv, close to the town of Sooke and driving distance to beautiful beaches where we could watch the winter surfers. It was a very appreciated visit to this gem of a resort. The staff on the phone and in the front office were so very nice.

We stayed in the 4bed/bath penthouse. Amazing value in the off season. So much space, beautiful views, fully equipped. We enjoyed the patio, full kitchen, and pool table. We ordered food next door at the prestige, which was easily walkable. So close to whiffin spit for a walk. Perfect for a group. They happily accommodated both an early check in and late checkout without fees. We really wish we could have stayed longer. The only downside was that the unit was cold. We turned up the baseboards and the gas fireplace, but the living area never got cozy unfortunately. The rooms were fine but the living area was so big that the baseboards weren’t effective in 1 night to warm up.

Stayed for a week in Oct 2020. Booking online was unsuccessful but over the phone through “Shelly/Sherry” was fantastic as she was professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. Unfortunately, was never contacted prior to stay re: contactless (due to COVID) details for check in. Check in with Dawn was friendly and brief. However, upon arrival inside our unit, I discovered we did not have enough dish detergent for the week. When I notified front desk shortly after (~415pm), I was told in a surprisingly unprofessional manner that having the dish detergent replenished “depends on who you expect to supply it” with no further arrangements made to restock it. Addressing the same issue with Kelly a couple of days later resulted in a very friendly and proactive result. Late checkout arrangements made night before were very helpful and appreciated. Our stay was overall wonderful. Loved the location of our unit, the full sized kitchen and appliances, washer/dryer, view, patios, bbq, etc. Units were in decent condition (mild wear and tear evident, but most definitely did not seem run down at all). We stayed in a 3 level townhouse style unit with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Our bedrooms and bathrooms were separated (top and bottom floors) Which could make it difficult for families with small kids. Our friends stayed in a 1 level penthouse suite (large 2 bedroom and 2 bathroom with “front row” views and larger patio), and 2 level suite (3 bedroom and 3 bathrooms). All were in good used condition. Both our family with two young children, as well as the other families who ended up booking because of us wished the hot tub and penthouse fire pit had been available for use. Fire pit could have been made available at least for reserved hours to share and limit use amongst guests, particularly to encourage outdoor socializing versus indoor during covid. Our booking resulted in two other families booking as well that week, with another family considering booking in future as well. The value was fantastic given the space, in-unit amenities, and location. Highly recommend for stays of 3+ nights. Weekly rate was phenomenal for what it includes.…
