Description
Anderson Cove is situated on a secluded, sunny, south facing ocean cove located about a 40 minute drive from Victoria BC and a 20 minute drive from the West Shore Shopping area in Langford. From the dock on the cove you can access the Sooke Basin and be out into the Juan de Fuca Strait in a matter of minutes by powered boat. The property borders on East Sooke Park which is well known for its white sand beaches and wild coastal rain forest. The home has a private dock and a boat launch, located at the bottom of the steep oceanfront embankment, allowing you to canoe or swim and watch eagles fish in the pristine clear waters of Anderson Cove and the Sooke Basin. You could also arrange for a local fishing guide or whale watching outfit to pick you up on the dock for your day of adventure on the water. This bright, rustic west coast home features pine walls and fir floors, a Soap stone wood stove for those cool winter evenings, lots of games for the family and a real west coast cottage feel but with lots of room for your whole group. With all the rooms looking over Anderson Cove, every room has a sunny view of the water. The large open plan main floor, with huge pine table for gathering around, adds to the spectacular decor. At the other end of the living area is the kitchen, allowing for easy entertaining while the Chef of your group prepares the food. The ground floor has two bedrooms with full length glass doors facing the water and a shared bathroom. The top floor features the Master Bedroom with ensuite bathroom and a second bedroom with a futon bed. On the main floor there is also the convenience of a smaller bathroom with shower.

Hike the coastal path with mountain views cycle the Galloping Goose along the old railway line kayaking and cycle rental can be found nearby. A 30 min drive will take you west along the coast to a series of parks and beaches fringed with old growth trees, while eagles soar overhead and the waves crash on the rugged coast.

Located just off the West Coast mainland of British Columbia, Vancouver Island is a 460 kilometre-long and approximately 80 kilometre-wide island that is home to many communities, townships and cities, including the provincial capital city of Victoria. The largest island on the western side of North America, Vancouver Island has an extremely diverse topography ranging from lush rainforest valleys and snow-capped peaks to rugged, rocky coastlines and smooth, sandy beaches. It's this diversity that gives such distinct flavors to the various regions and the communities that comprise them. The southern tip of the island is comprised of Greater Victoria, the Saanich Peninsula and the Western Communities. Much of Victoria itself can be characterized as a modern heritage city with turn-of-the century buildings standing alongside condo high-rises. And with its ancient oak forests, cherry blossom-lined streets and warm, windswept weather, it's no surprise that Victoria is consistently ranked one of the most beautiful cities worldwide. Only a short drive from the city centre, the Saanich Peninsula is a cradle of agriculture with quaint communities and calm, inland beaches, while the more rugged Western Communities are a cluster of booming townships on the island's more rugged and forested Pacific Coast. Only an hour's drive up island, the Cowichan Valley enjoys a unique micro-climate, evident in the area's proliferation of vineyards, orchards and dairy farms. Small communities such as Cobble Hill, Duncan, Cowichan Bay, Cowichan Lake and Chemainus breathe a unique mix of small-town flavor and aboriginal charm into the region. Further north, the mid-island city of Nanaimo is a quaint tribute to Vancouver Island's oceanic history. With fabulous restaurants, bountiful shopping and numerous outdoor activities at your fingertips, it's clear why this is a growing, prospering community. Just minutes from Nanaimo are the coastal communities of Parksville and Qualicum beach. Parksville boasts the best beach in the world at Rathtrevor Park, it has to be seen to be believed. One hour further north, the Comox Valley is not only home to the communities of Courtney and Comox but also the island's alpine sports destination: Mt. Washington boasts 60 runs, a high-speed quad chair, a fixed-grip quad (among other lifts) and a vertical drop of over 500 meters. It's easy to see why visitors from the world over make this their skiing destination. Like your recreation a little warmer and wetter? Take a detour to the island's west Pacific Coast and experience the awesome, wave-crashing majesty of Long Beach, the surfer mecca that stretches between the towns of Ucluelet and Tofino. Simply put? If you haven't experienced Vancouver Island, you haven't really experienced British Columbia.

Directions
Vancouver Island is located off of the west side of Canada and is easily accessible by plane, boat and car. In order to drive to the island from Vancouver you must use the BC Ferries system so please check the schedule before departing. Victoria has a large International Airport that has daily flights to and from Seattle and Vancouver as well as many other destinations. The east side of the island is accessible by car, bus and train. Most of the west side of the island is best accessed by 4x4 as most of the roads are very rugged and much of this part of the island is true wilderness. Please make sure you let someone know where you are going and when you are returning if you intend to head into the back country.
