About this property

Scarlet Oak: Ground level suite in a heritage country home and garden.

  • 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. We will be on the garden tour this coming June 2027

    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. We are getting a number of guests riding bikes from Vancouver to Scarlet Oak, via BC Ferries, Lochside Regional trail, and Galloping Goose.

    Your private spacious "no stairs" suite contains a full kitchen and is always supplied with coffee beans, teas and sugar. Soaps, shampoo/conditioner, and laundry soap are also provided.

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!

5 Star Experience

The nicest vacation rental we’ve ever stayed at! We were looking for a quiet retreat, close to great beaches and trails to explore, and this checked all the boxes. Inside the suite was spacious and bright, very clean and had everything we needed and more.

Gorgeous suite

Beautifully decorated suite with high spec finishes. Situated on a quiet street on an older property so it’s a lovely blend of old and new! I appreciate that the friendly hosts let me book one night only over a weekend. Their dogs are so sweet and friendly.

Lovely

I enjoy gardens so this location was very lovely for our stay. Nancy and Tony are very friendly and accommodating. The details were impressive. Comfort was high on the list. Their dogs are most enjoyable! Not for very tall people (over 190 cm) as it is in the lower part of the house.

This suite was amazing. Nancy and Tony put so much into making this place feel like home for their guests. They were very gracious hosts and we loved their property and also their two sweet dogs. The guest suite was exceptionally maintained and stocked with all of the essentials you would need. The property is steeped in local heritage. The property is located close enough to amenities in Langford including a Costco and any other shopping stop you would need. It is also relatively close to some stunning provincial parks and beaches as well as hiking trails and lakes/streams.

Not Long Enough

Next time I will plan to have more time spent at this location. We were visiting old time friends, celebrating birthdays and an anniversary in town. The plush bed made me want to sleep in longer. Also buy some steaks and enjoy the BBQ next time too. Very clean and comfortable. I highly recommend staying here if you are looking for some peaceful and relaxing moments. Beautiful gardens to walk through too. Kimberly & Steve
