Fossil Bay Resort

Really liked this place. Wonderful beds, super quiet at night. Great privacy between cabins. Hot tubs are dated but work well. We saw whales ( through binoculars ) every day as well as sea otters and sea lions. Lots of hiking and beautiful beaches nearby. But bring your own food as restaurants are few and far between. We really enjoyed it.

Fossil Bay offers nice private cottages for couples with up to two dogs. Private hot tubs on every deck are wonderful ! The cottages are very clean and well stocked. The kitchen offers everything you need to make your meals. The only complaint we had was the bed. The hosts definatly need to invest in new mattresses! the mattress topper smoothed out the lumps but made the bed too soft, so we removed it during our stay. Replace the aging mattresses, and you've got five star cottage accommodation with peace, privacy and an amazing ocean view !

We are so happy we got to return here for another visit. We stayed 3 nights which is perfect. Came home rested and relaxed, hope we can do it again in the fall. The view is amazing and we had perfect weather. It’s so peaceful here, never saw another person except in the parking area. Thank you for sharing your peace of paradise with us.

Most amazing views from the hot tub on our deck! The open fireplace is very romantic. King bed is very comfortable and all bedding is provided. Bring a robe and slippers to walk on the tile floor. Close to Jordan River to surf. We hired boards in Sooke and loved surfing all day and stargazing in the hot tub at night. Amazing weekend!

We've stayed here many, many time over the last several years and absolutely love it! All the basics you need plus a fantastic view, hot tub, privacy....did I say view! Comfy king bed, full bath, fireplace and full kitchen await you along with the sound of Pacific Ocean waves. We always go back!

Positive? Clean, Dog friendly, hot tub, use of a fireplace and a great view, but that's about where it ends for me. No pictures of the interior on the website should have been a big red flag for us. We should have checked trip advisor. Everything was extremely clean but extremely outdated. Very '90s vibe, and not in a fun way. There is soap and shampoos provided and though they smelled great, they were so cheap and drying. Because there's not a lot of restaurants or places to shop in the direct area we knew we would have to cook which is totally fine and something we prepared for. We didn't prepare for the fact that the stove doesn't work properly(the only large burner was either all or nothing. You couldn't cook past 2 without burning your food), the knives that are provided are either heavily damaged or completely dull and that the cookie sheet provided is sparkling cleaner because it doesn't even fit in the oven. There were a couple of greasy dishes in the cupboard that had us scrambling to find something to put the food in so it didn't burn while we washed them. that gave me an indication that maybe the dishes don't get checked on the checkout clean. We gave up cooking our second night just because dinner the night before and breakfast was such a pain in the butt due to the headache it was becoming. we didn't come here to stress about utensils and cooking applications. It has a hot tub which is cool but only half the Jets actually work which was kind of disappointing. A few of the lower jet covers are broken so there's sharp pieces if you're not careful. For the price of this place, the only thing it really has going for it is that there IS a hot tub and you have a good view. We wanted to stay at Point No Point, which is the same price but they didn't have any dog friendly rooms available so we chose this place, which ended up being a total blast from the past. Not the way we wanted to spend our one year wedding anniversary (together 13). All in all a pretty disappointing stay.

Fossil Bay is great. Good prices, spectacular views, cozy hot tubs, excellent internet connection, tv cable. You need to bring your own fire wood and house coat but otherwise rivals Point No Point (which does not have in cabin internet). Beds were new and comfortable. Easy to book.

Woke up in middle of night to use bathroom. Turned light on and saw thousands of baby spiders rappelling from ceiling. Made partner go around and get them. Would have left but had a few drinks before bed. Next day owner said they were aware there had previously been a problem but thought it had been taken care of. Only partially credited which was disappointing. When we left, we noticed lots of dead baby spiders everywhere, including our bed. Yuck! The hot tub was great but unfortunately the ocean views were completely obstructed due to it being wild fire season in BC and there was a smoky, hazy sky. The cabin itself was also pretty dated. It’s a lovely location but I just wouldn’t go back again.

Had a wonderful, relaxing 3 night stay at this beautiful location again. The views are spectacular, and the hot tub on the deck is a perfect way to enjoy them. We visited last year, and were so happy to return this year. These cabins have all the basics supplies covered to cook your own meals. We do bring our own small barbecue for grilling on the deck though. We found the bed and couch comfortable, and enjoyed using the fireplace with fire logs we brought with us. When you visit here I suggest you bring large towels or robes for hot tub use. Thank you to Maria for sharing this wonderful property with us, hope to return again!
