East Sooke Escape. Something for everyone fishing, hiking, kayaking or relaxing

Beautiful oceanfront, completely private one bedroom suite with king bed and fully equipped kitchen. Very tranquil, relaxing atmosphere in this brand new suite including quality furnishings and linens, with cleanliness and disinfecting our top priority. With a keyed entry you can arrive whenever it suits you. We live upstairs but your suite is completely separate, no access to the rest of our home. We have done a lot of soundproofing so you will hear very little noise from above. We will say Hi initially but you will have privacy during your stay.

Enjoy the amazing waterfront views from your private front yard. Watch the boats go by right out front or the sunsets at night. Private deck area with BBQ and table setting for outdoor lounging. Washer & dryer available so you can stay as long as you like.

Please Note: Our dock is ready with access to the water and boat moorage available on request.

We live in a beautiful part of South Vancouver Island, East Sooke is rural yet only 20 minutes to Sooke or 50 minutes to Victoria.

THINGS TO DO: There is so much to explore!

Surrounded by natural beauty with fishing grounds only 20 minutes away by boat , you can fish for sockeye, spring salmon, coho, pink or halibut.

East Sooke Park with it's great beaches and miles of hiking trails is right in our backyard! Golfing, kayak rentals at Rush Adventures, zip-lining at Adrenaline located at the historic 17 mile pub and swimming at Lake Matheson are all very close by. The Galloping Goose Trail is great for cycling as it is an old rail line so fairly level. It is 60 km long and runs from historic Leech Town in Sooke right into Victoria at the Johnson Street bridge.

THINGS TO NOTE:

Please bring your own groceries, If you do forget something, there is a local store is 10 minutes down the road and Sooke is only 25 minutes away.

There are several stairs to get into the suite so please be aware of mobility issues.

We live a quiet life and prefer non-partiers, sorry.

A Great Stay in East Sooke

Two of us stayed here at the beginning of July. Our two weeks here were very pleasant: The extremely clean lodging was stocked with all the kitchen supplies one could need for cooking. The location was near a variety of walking options as well as the East Sooke Grocer and General Store, and its outside food trucks. Furthermore, the view over the Sooke Basin was endlessly relaxing and entertaining. Thank you, Sharon and Joe!

East Sooke Away

Lovely spot. Great property. Away from it all….literally. Partial ocean view unfortunately given the vastness available of the basin. Peer takes away a bit of the view that is there but being able to access it is a plus.

Peaceful and wonderful

We stayed for 4 nights and it was just as-advertised. Clean, very well appointed, organized and responsive communication, great kitchen, very comfortable bed, private, nice outdoor spaces. Highly recommend. Beautiful beaches and hikes. My only advice to others is to make sure to get gas in Victoria or Sooke-- nothing else in between or up the coast until Port Renfrew and that one closes very early!

Clean and cozy

The property is exactly as the pictures show. No issues with check in and finding the property. We did encounter 2 issues: 1. The post noted breakfast items (bread, fruit, yogurt) were to be provided daily but to also bring ones own groceries. After communication with Sharon I was told there was an error in the post and breakfast would not be provided (A small compensation for this would have been appreciated). 2. There was only 1 roll of bathroom tissue and 1 roll of paper towels. After contacting Sharon regarding the bathroom tissue she immediately brought us another roll. Other than those issues, all was worthwhile. Particularly, the views and sunsets were spectacular. I would stay here again.

East Sooke Escape

We two were here for 10 days at the end of June. We enjoyed our stay very much. The apartment was perfect for us: - well-located for walking and exploring - immaculately clean - kitchen stocked with what you’ll need if you cook your meals - very quiet: insulated from any upstairs noise - view of the water right out your front window / patio The hosts, Sharon and Joe, are welcoming and pleasant. Should you prefer, access can be contactless.

Long Weekend Getaway

We loved it! It was perfect. The kitchen had everything we needed and was very clean, the bathroom's in-floor heating was so amazing, we sat outside on the comfy outdoor sofa facing the water and enjoyed the fresh, crisp March air every day even when the weather was a bit drippy. The parking was convenient and the dock was easy access for our kayak. We want to stay again, only longer. Thank you!!!!
