Enjoyed this property immensely. The outdoor amenities including the hot tub, BBQ and fire pit were terrific additions. Having laundry facilities was a great bonus. The sleep number bed and ambiance of the electric fireplace made time spent inside very comfortable.

RV & Hot Tub
The stay was great for our family of 4. We were able to soak in a hot tub after a good amount of hiking. We enjoyed the gas firepit while enjoying our morning coffee. We even had a visit from a couple of bald eagles. Enjoyed it all.

Beautiful private property. We felt like we were in the woods, not just the back of someones property. The fireplace inside was lovely as was the propane firepit and hot tub. We did all our cooking inside - huge fridge and lots of kitchen space. The bed was super comfy. We even watched the hockey game... we werent expecting to be able to do that. We explored China Beach and french beach, and the local beaches too as well as Sooke. Thanks Ian and Jodi for being great hosts ❤️

The area is abundant in beaches and quaint places to visit. We were greeted by the hosts, Ian and Jodi, who gave us a tour of the RV and amenities. They were great! We made good use of the hot tub and fire pit. The RV contained everything you'd need for your stay. Enjoy!

The Great Escape
The Great Escape is an affordable option in a great location for enjoyment of the west coast beaches and sights along the "Circle Route" and along Hwy 14. We enjoyed the hot tub, private accommodation, nearby lighthouse and Shirley Delicious coffee shop. The host personally walked us through the RV showing us everything in detail before leaving us to enjoy our stay.

Epic Stay
Better than advertised in our opinion. Epic beaches, epic accommodations, epic hosts. No question that we will be back. For a more practical description, you get the camping experience without having to sacrifice any comfort or convenience. Propane fire pit and private hot tub to relax by after a day hiking amazing beaches. Queen bed, sleep number and very comfy. Don't miss Shirley Delicious or Stoked. Our hosts were lovely. Cheers!

Nice quiet Motorhome with everything we needed
We really enjoyed our stay for 3 nights in this motorhome. Although it's a bit older, Ian and Jodi keep it in tip top shape. Super clean inside with everything we needed. The queen sized bed is very comfortable with nice linens and great mattress. The hot tub was perfect and hot! We didn't end up using the propane fire pit as we were happy crawling in after busy days on the island. Friendly owners were very helpful but allowed needed privacy too. They gave us two great restaurants options nearby that were soooo good. Shirley Delicious and Stoked Fire pizza are an absolute must. Cute vibes and really great food. Best pizza we've had in a while. Wouldn't hesitate to rent again:)

Everything about The Great Escape, beginning with pre-arrival communication with Ian and Jodi, check in, etc. was exceptional. We had everything and more than we required. The unit was very clean and exceptionally well equipped. The hot tub under the stars and in such a quiet location was healing. We will definitely book again in the future.

It was great to ne able to have my dog with me.
I really enjoyed my stay… unfortunately my elderly aunt found it difficult to get into the coach & it was very tight in the bedroom where she stayed plus she wasn’t able to get into the hot tub. I enjoyed it twice. I mentioned adding a handrail for the entrance & Ian agreed it would be a good idea. The privacy of the property was great & Ian was available for any questions & concerns.
