About this house rental
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 again 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.

The accommodation at Scarlet Oak is fantastic! Everything that guest need or desire has been provided. It was one of the best places that we have stayed.

We received a warm, personal welcome from the hosts and were shown around the property, which was exceptionally clean, very spacious for two people with every amenity you could want plus lots of homely touches which made us feel 'at home' right away and throughout our stay. Tony and Nancy were very helpful and friendly, giving us lots of information and guidance as to where to go and what is in the area to enjoy. They have a wonderful garden which they encouraged us to relax in. Having only set up the property this year, they have well and truly nailed the visitor experience by thoughtfully providing what they would expect and enjoy themselves. They are clearly passionate about giving people a great holiday experience. If we ever get back to Vancouver Island we would want to stay again, perhaps for a bit longer next time.

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.
