Waterfront vacation rentals in Sooke

Having stayed at many Airbnbs in multiple countries, this is by far one of the best. The hosts, Vi & Duncan greeted us upon arrival and provided a wonderful tour. The gardens & views are breathtaking! The space had everything we needed and more. We appreciated the recommendations and all the hosts did to make our stay ideal. Loved the muffins! Thank you.

It's hard to describe just how magical Bullman Beach is - I think it's one of the most beautiful places on earth. Carolyn is an incredible host - generous, responsive, thoughtful, and caring. I always feel right at home during my visits. Thank you, as always, for hosting me! I'll be back soon.

We loved this place. The view of cowichan bay and the marina are spectacular and cowichan bay in itself may be the cutest place we’ve ever been. Lots of great restaurants nearby and great for just strolling around. Astrid made an earlier check in possible which was great and the apartment was very clean and nicely decorated. We felt right at home! Highly recommend

Deanna is a great host very accommodating and responsive. This is our second time staying at her place. Location is perfect to watch our son racing who was participating in Shawnigan regatta. Looking forward to stay here again next year!

Great location that was very peaceful that overlooked the bay. Rooms had comfortable beds that were well maintained. We will be back.

Lovely weekend away, the place had everything we needed. The outdoor spaces are great, the private dock and fire pit were perfect. Would stay here again!

THe apartment exceeded expectations. It was so spacious, sunny and with a great view of the water. The building was grand and very quiet. It was also near the town of Sidney and ferries going to multiple places. My mother and I both had a wonderful time staying here. Neighbors we met were friendly. It was lovely to sit on the balcony and watch the light change on the water and enjoy the lovely weather we had all week. We were only sorry to leave when it was time to go home!

Tracy and John are fantastic hosts. They have everything you can think of and more within the unit. There were also some other little perks but don't want to ruin the surprise should you choose to stay here which you should. The view / location can't be beat. The lake is a few mins walk away; super clean (rocky so you may want water shoes) and there is a dock to jump off of. Separately, my luggage arrived late and they provided me with extra toiletries which was so thoughtful. They also regularly checked in on the situation which I really appreciated. I hope to be back!

The Swell House is the best home we have ever stayed at, anywhere, in the past 10+ years we've been on Airbnb. Waking up to beautiful views of the water, the sound of the waves, sipping a warm mug of coffee while bird watching, are just the start of each incredible day of our weekend. We also decompressed in the private sauna facing the water at sunset. Inside the home, every room was stocked with everything you could possibly need, including some personal touches and extreme attention to detail. The expansive yard was perfect for our dogs, and also had a bountiful garden growing fresh veggies. We enjoyed using the grill each night accompanied by the produce. In the evenings, we relaxed by the wood burning stove and listened to the record collection. Throughout the weekend I barely used my phone as I felt so relaxed and connected with the coast. We will definitely be visiting again and we look forward to our next stay at the Swell House!

Dan and Sam’s place was great, they were easy to communicate! Definitely would recommend!

Despite looking at the pics online, the first thing we experienced when we walked in was a collective breath in, and an "ooooh" out. What an eccentric, quirky, charming home, full of personality - bright green plants lining the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, everything from a really tall cactus to banana(!) to flowering hibiscus. A hobbit shed in one corner competing for attention with daffodils on the roof(!). Amazing photos lining the walls, art from around the world, live edge kitchen counter, differently sized logs of wood acting as window panes, a wall-to-wall stack of old national geographic magazines. All of this, of course, paled in comparison to the view from the window, of sailboats docked in a cove, bounded by evergreens around, and a gentle lapping orange sky below. Absolutely perfect place to relax with a coffee mug and a book. The hiking was great too, we hiked some evergreen rainforest and a couple of beaches. And a 30min drive to Victoria. We loved it!

Really great suite to stay in Sooke. Walkable to restaurants, and within very easy driving distance of great beaches and hikes. The suite itself is comfortable and cosy perfect for 2 people. Has everything you need.

What a great house and responsive, helpful host! I would definitely recommend this home to others. The house is across the street from the water and a rocky beach, and the living room/kitchen windows look out onto the water. The sunsets are beautiful! The area leading to the home does have a few mobile homes and such, but the house itself is cute, well appointed, and very comfortable. There were some snacks waiting for us, which our big kids (17 y.o. and 24 y.o.) enjoyed. They also spent hours roaming the shoreline looking at pretty shells and rocks. Great place!

Caroline’s home is clean and comfortable and has stunning views. The upper deck was a wonderful place to relax and converse with friends! Caroline is a wonderful host. She provided excellent suggestions to make our stay even more enjoyable than originally planned. She is responsive and kind! I highly recommend Caroline’s home!

Wonderful trip. Brent’s Air BNB had everything we needed during our stay. Would love to stay again!

Jeanne's place is an ideal location for exploring Saltspring with a good proximity to Ganges. Stunning spot on the water with sunrises and sunsets. Quiet suite with enough basic needs for a longer stay. Darker window coverings would be ideal as the earlier sunrises hit. Some noise transfer with upstairs but hardly disruptive. Recommended.

A fabulous place to stay on the waterfront in Victoria. Everything was just as the pictures and as described. It had everything you could need & amazing views. We loved being so close to Fisherman’s wharf with the restaurants and watching the seals, floatplanes, all sorts of things going on in the harbour. A great walk into the city centre too along the waterfront or to the coast in the other direction. We would definitely stay here again if coming back to Victoria.

Port Renfrew is a great place to take the family. Halibut Hideaway was just as described, clean and well kept. All the amenities we needed were provided and in good shape. One rule about talking garbage to the dump wasn’t known prior to arriving and we found out the local dump where we were instructed to put the garbage was only open until 2pm the prior day. Either do all your cleaning really early or you’ll have to pack a bunch of smelly garbage into your car to comply like we did.

This location was perfect for our vacation. The place was clean and well decorated with a lot of attention to detail. Because it’s leased by a service versus an owner the vibe was different- but the team worked hard to accommodate and connect with us. We would definitely recommend and stay again!

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this Airbnb! From the moment I arrived, I felt right at home. The space was impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, and fully equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect, offering a peaceful retreat while still being close to all the attractions I wanted to visit. I highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a cozy, relaxing, and hassle-free getaway. I'll definitely be returning!

Robert was a wonderful host with great suggestions for outings and shared his knowledge of the wildlife and area. The highlight for me was watching the family of sea otters fish in the ocean from the beautiful beach deck! We absolutely did not want to leave!

Stunning views and a wonderful space with a delightful garden. We loved it here and did not want to leave. This property has access to the ocean, and a huge deck to watch the ocean and wildlife. The suites are well appointed, clean and spacious. The suites even included binoculars! We would recommend this spot - it was well worth the drive.

Beautifully ocean view cottage, quiet, clean and well equipped, we all loved it.

We had an incredible stay at this stunning property perched on the ocean in Shirley, BC! The views of the Olympic Mountains from the premium hot tub were nothing short of breathtaking, especially when we spotted humpback whales at dusk on our first night—pure magic! The property itself at moments may feel more like a swanky international hotel with its backlit onyx kitchen and luxurious rain shower yet nestled in the rustic beauty of the coast. Our host, Robert, was incredibly kind and attentive, immediately offering his charging station for our car—a real relief. Highly recommend this place for an exceptional, premium coastal retreat close to Victoria!
