About this property

Driftwood Beach House, Beachfront Home, Hot Tub, Family Friendly, easy access

What makes an ideal west coast vacation home is a place on the beach for a large or a small family, with indoor and outdoor fireplaces, and a hot tub with view. Driftwood Beach House has all of this. In addition, this property is a short drive from some great area attractions. The house is on the scenic Sooke to Port Renfrew Cowichan Circle route (the Pacific Marine Circle Route). Botanical Beach is at Port Renfrew and in the other direction there is Butchart Gardens. Victoria is a great place to visit with its quaint waterfront downtown, and Canada's oldest China Town.

There is a separate cabin (not included) that can be rented along with the house for an extra $50 / night (plus tax and cleaning). This contains the 4th bedroom and the 3rd bathroom. The cabin is never rented out on its own. Posted rates do not include the cabin.

The DRiftwood House was very clean, functional and well equipped. The setting is spectacular. Amazing views over the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Wifi worked well as well as the hot tub. Appliances in the kitchen almost brand new. Communication with the property manager Rob was quick and accurate.

Majestic

We could not get over the view from this ocean front property. We loved it so much that we just wanted to relax at the place instead of view the surrounding area! The sprawling deck, beach, hot tub, fire pit all with majestic views. Inside the house was stocked with everything we would want and comfy beds. We hated to leave, it was just what we wanted.

Perfect Location and Views!

The pictures do not do this place justice. We had so much space for us and our two kids, and the house could not have been better for our vacation. Close to some amazing hikes, and super easy to hop into town. Really hoping we get to come back and stay again in the future!

Tranquil Vacation

There are so many good points to this property it's hard to mention them all. The location is fantastic with an amazing view. It was spotlessly clean and had plenty of amenities, towels, kitchen supplies, etc.Your are short hop away from Victoria, and there are lots of parks and trails close at hand.Even in the rain you can take in the view, and if your lucky see Orcas & Sealions. We would be more than happy to come back again.

Christmas in Sooke

Fantastic place to stay in charming Sooke. Stayed here over Christmas for 4 days. Very well equipped, roomy cottage. Gorgeous view, spotted seals and ducks in the bay as well as some eagles. Hot tub on the deck overlooking the bay was a huge bonus. Gorgeous log fire made for a very restful vacation. Would love to stay here again-highly recommended.

Relaxing oceanside

Loved the hot tub by the ocean. Listening to the waves while lying in bed at night was so relaxing. The little cabin was great for extra space. The gardens on the property were lovely even this early in the season. All round great property with everything we needed and more!

Absolutely wonderful with a stunning location!! We would come back any time at any moment. Have never seen such a well stocked kitchen in a rental. All items, including pots and pans were totally usable, not all scratched up. The view is beyond exceptional!! Stay here if you need a vrbo on Sooke. It is located on blind curves in both directions and that was difficult when you have an extra large vehicle like we do. We worked it out though and absolutely loved our stay. Wish we didn't have to leave.

Had a fantastic stay for my husbands 70th birthday with our adult kids. It was the perfect set up for all of us with the bedrooms as one of the bedrooms is downstairs which worked out perfect. Fully stocked - the kitchen was great as it had all the dishes / pots / pans we needed and more. Wonderful to have the washer and dryer too. we will definitely be back.

Beachfront stay

Beautiful property, lovely view directly out onto the water. Viewings daily of seals (and/or sea lions) and we saw whales one day! Great for our friend gathering of 4 women - very cosy upper floor with a wood burning fireplace that was welcome in the snowy weather. Hot tub was nice as well. Great location near hikes - we had hoped to go to Mystic and Sombrio, but the weather didn't play along this trip. Next time! Kitchen had everything you could possibly need. Property manager was very accessible and helpful.

About the host

Hosted by Rob

Host profile image

I have been renting out vacation homes in the Sooke area for over 17 years. I love the Sooke area as a place to live or to vacation. I like to go kayaking and mountain biking.

Why they chose this property

This home is one of the few in the area with low bank beach access. There is a gentle sloping path to the beach and about 3 steps down onto the beach. It is a great place to launch a kayak. Kite surfing and sailboarding opportunities are nearby.

What makes this property unique

The beach is the defining feature of this home, but the hot tub which is practically right on the beach makes it just right.
