Scarlet Oak: New to Vrbo, walk-out suite in a heritage country home.

Scarlet Oak is a 1930's country home on the old Kirby Shingle Mill site, nestled under boughs of a heritage Scarlet Oak tree amid towering cedars, firs, and Pacific Dogwoods. The one+ acre property is known as one of Sooke's beautiful old gardens, and has been featured on the Sooke Secret Garden tour.

A variety of wildlife visits Scarlet Oak, and is a favourite stop over for migrating birds. This is a private gated property on a quiet street - on a popular local bike route just steps to the Galloping Goose Trail. The walking/cycling Trail can take you to the Sooke Pot Holes Regional Park over a railway trestle, and stretches as far away as Victoria.

Your private spacious suite contains a full kitchen and is always supplied with coffee beans, teas and sugar. Soaps, shampoo/conditioner, and laundry soap are also provided.


Garden update: April 29th
Rhododendrons, tulips, primulas, and heather currently blooming. The Bluebells and the Dogwood trees are in full bloom (they are a sight to see).

Beautiful and welcoming stay
Nancy and Tony were extremely friendly and welcoming and made us feel like we were staying at a friend’s house rather than a vacation rental. The property is beautiful and was great to walk around in, and the suite itself was full of amenities and very comfortable. We very much enjoyed our stay and will be back next time we visit Sooke!

Tranquil, Cozy and Inviting
Nancy and Tom have put together a beautiful home away from home for their guests. The kitchen is fully equipped, the tub is amazing. The outdoor sitting area is as lovely as it looks. Tom and Nancy are wonderful responsive hosts. I had the best sleep, the bed is so comfy. It was just what I needed.
