About this property

Architect Designed And Decorated Waterfront House, You Have The Whole House!

An architectural gem. Original design features of the house remain and combined with the spectacular view of the ocean, garden and forest combine to make this a very special property. The house has been carefully furnished to ensure a comfortable and relaxing vacation for couples or families. Fully equipped for a comfortable stay (linens, towels, kitchen supplies, kitchen appliances etc etc). Relax on the deck, the wood burning fireplace or one of the special seating areas located around the property on the walk down to the waterfront. Try crab trapping or swimming off the rocks, spotting eagles, seals and whales from the deck and waterfront. There are also many amenities and activities (restaurants, museums, zip-lining, hiking, fishing tours, kayaking tours etc) available in Sooke and Victoria only a short drive away.

Amazing property
Everything about this holiday home is perfect - the location is stunning with amazing views from all parts of the house and grounds. The house is extremely well equipped and the owners really have thought of everything to make your stay hassle free. There are so many different parts to the property but it all comes together and keeps adults and teens busy. We loved the deck/BBQ area, the outdoor kitchen/hot tub/tv area and the various viewpoints with chairs where you could sit and just admire the views. The owners live close by and were on hand to answer any questions we had. They were also able to offer advice on local things to do. Overall, this was one of the best VRBO properties we have rented and we would recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay at the south end of Vancouver Island

Beautiful setting
The home is very well stocked with everything you might need. The outdoor kitchen, hot tub level is wonderful, as are the sight lines out over Sooke Basin. There are a variety of places to just sit and relax and enjoy the view. Our hosts were very friendly, fun to talk with, yet not intrusive. A very comfy, attractive place to stay.

Amazing lake front house perfectly secluded
This house has everything! The beautiful house would’ve been enough, but then you see the big, beautiful deck, then walk down the stairs and have a complete outdoor kitchen. Also, a big hot tub overlooking the water that we used every night at sunset. Walked on the steps and have another beautiful spot to sit and relax and read a book while we watched our kids kayak on the boats provided. My son used their small work out gym as well. Loved seeing all of the star fish down on our dock. We would’ve loved to have stayed longer. The property just kept revealing new things to do and see. Can’t recommend it enough! A must stay. And the owners are lovely and responsive.

Perfect
I cannot say enough wonderful things about this property. The views were spectacular, the property was huge with so many gems. My husband greatly appreciated the gym, my boys loved the playhouse and we all enjoyed dinner on the patio each night. The kitchen was well stocked, the beds were extremely comfortable and the owners went out of their way to make us feel welcome. I’d highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a quiet escape. It is about 40 minutes from downtown Victoria and about 15 minutes to downtown Sooke.

We came to BC with work, and fell in love with the island and the weather. We both enjoy hiking, biking and kayaking, and what better place to do all that than here.

Why they chose this property

Our work brings us all over Canada. (we splice fiber for the telecom industry ) My wife and I have seen some truly amazing places But they do not seem to compare to the AW inspiring views and feeling we get from the East Sooke house property. We hope you can experience it first hand.

Great views in quiet surroundings
We stayed there for twelve days and really enjoyed the house and the garden with all the variety of birds stopping by, the rabbit family living there and a deer from time to time outside the fenced area.
The view over the bay is stunning each time of the day and we didn't get tired of it.
We cooked every day, kitchen is well equipped and in good condition.
Our son is 6 and the shorter trails had been ideal.
Some nice beaches close by.
