SookePoint Ocean Cottage Resort - Vacation Rentals - Sooke, British Columbia

The resort located on a beautiful shore of the bay. You will definitely enjoy the terrific ocean views and sunsets and, if you’re lucky, the wildlife. Our unit was in a great condition, equipped with a full kitchen, a tub+shower bathroom, a balcony, and floor-to-ceiling triple glass sliding doors with gorgeous view. It is definitely an ideal place to relax and enjoy the nature. The stuff was very polite and really helpful with all our questions. The check in and check out were quick and simple. The only downside we found during our stay was a total absence of any eatery on the site. So, when you go, don’t forget to grab groceries or be prepared to drive to the closest town to get yourself some food :).

Amazing Oceanside resort in beautiful east Sooke BC. A 15-18 min drive off the highway downs the back roads of east Sooke, off the beaten path is this hidden gem resort. A full 2 bedroom condo with sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean. A must for a girls trip, romantic or family getaway. We stayed here in a beautiful top floor unit 2 bedroom 2 full bath with clawfoot tub.

Service was contactless. No need to talk to a human. Our 7pm check in was a breeze. Just open a lock box to get our instructions and door keys. Enjoyed 4 days of peaceful waves crashing on the coastline.

The rooms were both king size bed and comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the necessary tools you need to cook a gourmet meal.

Langford is 30 mins away and has everything you need including Costco a mall and lots of great restaurants.

Only con I noticed was coffee table and beside tables were dated.

Can’t wait to go back for another getaway. Highly recommend.

I recently stayed at Sookepoint Ocean Cottage Resort, and it was truly a remarkable experience. The location is absolutely breathtaking—perched right on the edge of the cliffs with unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean. Every morning we woke up to the sound of waves and often spotted seals, otters, and even whales right from our balcony.

The cottage itself was modern, clean, and very well-appointed. High-end appliances, comfortable beds, and a spa-like bathroom made it feel like a luxury home away from home. The large windows and glass railings kept the view front and center no matter where you were in the suite.

The resort is quiet and peaceful, ideal for a relaxing getaway. It’s also a great base for exploring the natural beauty of Vancouver Island—close to hiking trails, beaches, and the town of Sooke. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay.

Overall, Sookepoint is a hidden gem. If you’re looking for tranquility, nature, and stunning oceanfront views, this place delivers in every way.

We had a very disappointing experience during our recent stay. Our check-in was scheduled for 4 PM, but when we arrived, our room was not ready. The staff told us nothing could be done, and we would have to wait—potentially until 7 PM—for the room to be available. This delay affected at least 3-4 other groups as well. The hotel only has about a dozen rooms, so while full occupancy before a long weekend was expected, this level of delay was unacceptable.

At 7:06 p.m., we checked in with Trixie, who was extremely rude and unprofessional. Every question we asked was met with “I don’t know” and multiple shoulder shrugs. When we asked how long it would take for our room to be ready, she said, “I can’t contact housekeeping because they will get mad at me.” This lack of communication and disrespect was very frustrating.

We were eventually contacted at 9 PM that our room was ready—five hours after our scheduled check-in time and after a long 5-hour trip from the mainland. There was no proper accommodation for guests to wait inside the hotel; the closest alternative was an hour away. We were among the first to arrive but ended up being the last to receive a room. Because we had another room booked, the hotel made us accommodate other guests who had only single rooms and were waiting in their cars.

Once in our room, we found multiple small issues, which can happen anywhere. However, when we tried to get help, the response was an automated message saying, “We have no one at this time to help you.” Our stovetop stopped working, and since there were no food options nearby, we had to cook in the other room’s stove, juggling all our food between rooms.

After all these inconveniences, the hotel refused to offer even a one-hour late checkout following the busy long weekend.

Adding to our frustration, after we checked out, we received a notification for an extra cleaning charge with no explanation. When we asked Trixie about the reason, she simply gave us the general manager’s email and offered no details. We had loaded the dishwasher (except for a few dishes that didn’t fit), cleaned the counters, ensured nothing was left on the ground or wet, and put all garbage in bags The only thing left out were cans beside the sink since there was no recycling bin in the unit. I have no idea what this extra charge was for, and the lack of transparency or willingness to explain the fee was just another example of the poor service we experienced.

Overall, this stay was poorly managed, with rude staff, lack of communication, inadequate guest accommodations, maintenance issues, and questionable extra charges. We can not recommend this hotel based on our experience.

For anyone needing to escape the city, this is it! Absolute peace! Comfortable beds, well stocked kitchens, and that view!!! In the times we have stayed here we have enjoyed watching eagles feed on fish, sea lions and even whales! And those sunsets!!!! So… this is not a complaint, but a bit of a heads up… lots of stairs for most rooms, so keep that in mind. Construction noise isn’t a problem if you stay on the lower levels, but then you will be using lots of stairs. Just a heads up, not problem for most, I think. We’ve been back twice and plan to come as often as we can (it’s a long drive for us coming from Oregon). It’s totally worth the drive!!!

Just got back from the resort a few days ago. They have an ear wig infestation, one little guy even made it on to our bed. More on that later.

Suite - 10A

Location - It's very remote, big reason why we booked. You're about 30 minutes to anything. There were big trees down which were cut but still sticking out onto the road. I can only imagine how this area shuts down if those trees were to cross over. So be careful in storm season.

View - It's outstanding. We were in 10A, got some violent stormy seas. Exactly what we needed. Many seals, lots of birds, and a few hummingbirds were our constant visitors.

Suite - Aside from the aforementioned bugs, it's very pretty. Kitchen was great, everything was pretty clean.

The bugs:
On night 2, while in the bathroom, I probably killed about several earwigs. Then on the same night, one big boy decided to accompany and my wife in our bed. I didn't sleep much that night. I sent a text to the phone number who wanted to "make sure we had the best vacation imaginable" and no response except for the automated "check out" text.

Will we be back?
Due to the remoteness of the suites, the bugs, and the little care factor to do anything about it.. No.

Don't get me wrong.. It's pretty. But it has a lot of red flags.

Overall, we had a great stay save for a few things that could've been improved.

First, the good stuff - The views are phenomenal and the apartments are decently furnished. There were nice touches like heated floors as well.

The not so good - They desperately need to invest in insect nets. I imagine it would be helpful for them with housekeeping as well. The evenings bring quite a few bugs and mosquitoes. We'd have loved to leave the door ajar for some air and to listen to the waves but without a net, we'd have been eaten alive by bugs. Secondly, on their accommodations page, they mention 2 bedrooms can fit 4-6 adults comfortably. You'd imagine a 2 bedroom is at least made for 4 adults. Nope, 3 adults and you gotta pay for the extra one. It's a bit of a junk upcharge given there's no actual amenities.. Lastly it's a bit of a stretch calling it a resort when there's no amenities (at this point, I imagine it's still under construction) and making you take out the trash etc. Alot of us choose hotels and resorts over Airbnbs to avoid that.

Overall, we had a positive experience and recommend the place. It would be great if they addressed the points above - especially the insect nets.

My family and I have been visiting this resort for years, however had an absolutely terrible experience during our last visit. Upon entering our room the toilet was dirty and we had no running hot water in the other washroom. When it came to going to bed, we opened the sheets and noticed spiders and dead flies on the bedsheets. Not to mention the side boards in the hallway also had dead bugs on the floor. I called the emergency number as this was after hours and the lady advised we sleep on the sofa. I called guest services first thing in the morning and was given a new room, however considering we were only there for the weekend we spent most of our time transferring our stuff (we visited with our newborn). I have been calling to speak with the manager and have had no luck. Views are great but we will never be returning after our experience and will no longer be recommending this resort to friends and family.
