Here's Another Option for You - Come to The Great Escape - Shirley - with Secluded Hot Tub

Our first Guests in Shirley were Jakob, his Mother and Sister from Denmark and their Review read: 

Great location, helpful people, beautiful nature.  Ian and Jodi are some of the best host you can imagine. They had just set the RV up same day as we booked, and even though they had been busy, they still welcomed us in the evening, with a fire and a warm jacuzzi. It was the best stay during our 10 day trip.  Hope to come back again.

A fantastic place to stay in an area with so much natural beauty.  The RV was a fantastic set-up - very private.  You get to camp without having the hassle of driving an RV and parking/setting up sewer, water or electricity.  Bed was SUPER comfortable.  Ian showed us through everything when we arrived.  Both Ian and Jodi are very friendly but also let you enjoy your time on your own. The Hot Tub was OUTSTANDING.  We've stayed at a few places with Hot Tubs and they are usually base models.  This one had all the bells and whistles.  Pretty incredible stay. We will come back!

Jodi & Ian’s Coach Getaway was the perfect space for our adventure. Close to the great beaches, hiking spots, restaurants, and Sooke. The new location of the Coach and the Hot Tub, gives you the perspective that you’re camping by yourself. So private and wooded background. The luxurious Hot Tub was amazing after a long hiking day! The Coach is comfy and clean. Jodi and Ian are great hosts. We would love to return!

 Ian and Jodi were incredibly friendly and helpful. We arrived much later than planned due to traffic and Ian waited down at the road for us in the dark so we could find our way! Totally available whenever we had questions since we are not used to “Coach living”. Kept everything well stocked, and had excellent suggestions for exploring. The only thing I might have done different is hide the WiFi password from my teenage son so it was more off grid! Great location for checking out Vancouver Island.

 My family and I had an AMAZING time staying here. We went to a lot of the beaches and hiked a couple of trails. The Coach was super comfortable, really clean and organized. The Hot Tub was GREAT! Thanks Ian & Jodi!
