Vacation rentals in View Royal

This is a beautiful, tranquil location and lovely home. DM is a very attentive host, almost like a mom :) There were a lot of thoughtfully tailored touches that welcomed us and made us feel at home, including some really lovely breakfasts. It made for a very nice, cozy getaway with a lot of nice perks - massage table, firepit, and a super comfortable hot tub. if you're looking to be charmed by East Sooke, this is a fantastic place for it!

This is our second visit and we will be back again next year. If you like breathtaking views of the ocean and mountains, your own private beach, the most well maintained hot tub that has the amazing views of the ocean as well along with the sitting spaces outside than this is your place to stay. The views actually start as soon as you enter the front gate. The home is so cozy and clean you feel right at home right away. We fell asleep at night listening to the gentle waves. We saw so many sea lions swim by along with a bald eagle that visited us all day on a tree in the yard! We love Sooke it’s a really nice town to stay and has stores for shopping and groceries minutes away. Maria thank you for being such a great host! Frank and Cheryl

One of the best Airbnb’s I’ve ever stayed at! The moment you drive down the street you feel a sense of peace & serenity. Once you arrive & enter through the gate you step into a tranquil outdoor space that is so beautiful & relaxing. This continues as you go inside the lovely suite. Carla is a wonderful host and has put a lot of extra thought into making her guests feel right at home. Highly recommend!

This was our first time in Sooke and we shared Fredrick’s place with a friend we hadn’t seen in years. The warm home like environment, the separate bedroom ,bathroom spaces worked perfectly. The views were wonderful and we dined and explored the area easily. We wished we could have stayed longer.

The suite is clean, well stocked, comfy and spacious. Everything is nice quality and the beds were cozy! The room in the turret with all the windows is breathtaking! The property is stunning, we enjoyed it throughout the day and even at night , just listening to the waves and the wildlife. It would be nice to have more options to enjoy it outside on cooler nights (maybe a hot tub), we couldn’t use the fire table because of the wind. BUT we really can’t complain. The space is as described if not better. The hosts were lovely, very kind and accommodating- they thought of small details, from extra baby blankets to a welcome tray of delightful and delicious essentials (coffee, bread, local eggs and more!) Only thing we didn’t love was the walk in shower, just cause we had little ones with us and it was a bit slippery for them- but we managed. Everything else was true perfection.

It’s our second year here and already planning for next year. The only way you don’t enjoy this gem on Vancouver Island is if you work extremely hard at it. And even then I’m not sure you could do it. My wife and I love everything about it, the view, the amenities, the location. I have read entries in the guest book and Janet deserves an award for how many people she has hosted over the years and made happy. Now it’s my turn to say thank you Janet.

What a magical place! Only wished we could have stayed longer. Absolutely stunning home nestled in the forest on the edge of the sea. Had a great time

Our weekend getaway in May with Sean and Arlene was spectacular. I would highly recommend their place if you are looking to stay in Sooke. The space is larger than what we expected from the pictures, and it was extremely cozy. The place comfortably fit our group of 4. Great attractions near by including Potholes Park and Mystic Beach. Sean was extremely responsiveness, answering any questions we had in a prompt manner. Thank you for the wonderful stay.

We enjoyed an extremely relaxing weekend getaway at Jim's guesthouse for our anniversary. When we arrived, Jim greeted us and was very helpful in suggesting nearby hikes and restaurants to check out during our stay. The guesthouse was clean and spacious for the two of us, and the view is absolutely gorgeous. We both would highly recommend staying here for a romantic couples retreat.
