Dream vacation

We had heard of Sooke and wanted to visit. Chad the owner of the property was very informative regarding paddle boarding, the ocean activities, and the wildlife. When we got to the house it was stunningly beautiful and clean & close to Victoria for day trips. We hope to stay again.

Girls Weekend Retreat

Very clean, well laid out home with many amenities including two full baths, plenty of linens, comfortable beds, and room for everyone to hang out together or have quiet time alone!. The dock, the wildlife, the location made this an ideal destination for my group of five ladies! We booked a return trip after the first night!!!

Never Disappoints

Staying at Heron Point truly never disappoints. Each stay for us has been unique. We see different animals and seem to have a hard time leaving. The house is always very clean with more than one needs as far as amenities. Chad is always available if needed. Private and quiet. Thank you as always for a lovely stay!

Cozy stay

We really enjoyed this place. Good location and beautiful place. One issue was that iI had bad allergy with my eyes, not sure about the trace of the cause.? Perhaps improve the cleanness of the air and the floor or vacuum the place for any removal of pet trace. Bedding was smelly .

Christmas Getaway

We had a perfect Christmas holiday watching the otters play and feast down by the dock. We stayed cozy up in the loft watching movies. We were able to catch sea lions frolicking and harbour seals swimming by. Even though it was rainy we were still able to check out many parks and trails we haven’t been to before. I really liked that the house was down a long driveway and away from the road. We ended our evenings in the hot tub. Sooke is only about 30 minutes away which isn’t a far drive. Iron Mine Bay beach is up the road. It’s a short walk down the trail to the beach, which has quite the view!!! F you come in the summer I highly recommend taking a drive to Stoked Pizza. It is on the other side of Sooke but DEFINITELY worth the drive. A good place to picnic is at French Beach witch it a 2 minute drive from Stoked. We will be back for sure!

Clean, comfy, and beautiful

If I won the lottery, I would attempt to buy this property. It is absolutely beautiful. We have stayed in a number of VRBOs in North America around the same price point, and this one takes the cake. It was very clean, organized, clutter free, and full of high end furniture and comfortable beds. The property is very large and private. My children very much enjoyed the dock and the shoreline. There is an abundance of wild life, we even had seals come right up to the dock to see us. Would highly suggest a fishing charter with “last chance” it was excellent. We also checked out botanical beach and the sooke potholes. If your someone who gets car sick, bring some gravol as there is not a straight stretch of road in the whole area. Hope to be coming back soon !

Magical week!

We stayed at Heron Point House for a week (myself, my husband, our two young kids, and my dad). The kids hand-fed the wild (ish) peacock, who came to our yard a few days in a row, and we saw the peahens and their chicks every day. The bald eagle landed in the tree in front of the house. We spent hours on the beach looking at purple starfish and jellyfish and collecting rocks and shells, and caught some crabs in the crab traps. Nature abounds, and the house is comfortable and well-equipped. It is right on the water, which was a treat to watch and listen to. It's not super-close to many amenities (though a general store and a couple of food trucks are within 15 minutes). We drove anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour to go on various hikes, visit beaches, and visit Victoria and Butchart Gardens. Highly recommend. We had a relaxing, magical stay.

Dream Property!

The worst part of this property is on the last day of your visit when you look in the rear view mirror and know that you are leaving! The pictures are spot on to what is there. The house was clean, well appointed and in a magnificent location. Wildlife included peacocks, deer, seals, herons, eagles and sea otters. When the tide is low, you can see a lot of aquatic life around the rocks by the dock. House does not have quick access to town, so stock up on your groceries before arriving. There are two grocery stores in Sooke. On your way to the house you will pass a general store and two food trucks. Both food trucks were great. The general store would not be the place to buy all of your food, but was really good for things we forgot or ran out of such as milk and eggs. We did day trips to Victoria, Botanical Beach (Port Renfrew) and the Sooke Potholes. There are excellent hiking access points along the road leading to the house. A great spot for a family vacation with our adult children!

Beautiful stay!

Our stay was perfect for our family with 3 kids (12-16) in tow! The view morning to night and everything we needed just a short drive to Victoria, beaches, potholes, wildplay etc was amazing! Instructions for check-in and extra information left at the house for our stay made our stay very simple. Can't see the house from the road but that's perfect, we had privacy and felt very safe during our time! There were items there for the younger kids but I would just make sure to watch they don't wander with a few rocky spots by the water. Thank you for hosting such a beautiful spot for us!!

About the host

Hosted by Chad Verch

Host profile image
We love West Coast life and all that it has to offer in beauty and recreation. We enjoy travelling and mostly rent other homes through the VRBO network.

Why they chose this property

This property has been in the family since 1950 with the newer house being constructed in 2003 from lumber harvested and milled on the property. The older cottage (not a rental) was built in the early 1920's with an addition added in the late 1940's. This property has over 900 feet of waterfront with a deep water dock, 2 beaches and a rocky point. You can catch legal sized rock and dungeness crab right of the dock. (remember you need a salt water licence that can be purchased online) and the area is abundant in sea and wild life. It truly is a piece of paradise!

What makes this property unique

Southern Vancouver Island has a mild climate with pleasant warm, dry summers and mild, wet conditions in spring, fall and winter. It rarely snows in the lower areas of this region and if it does snow it usually doesn't stay around long.

At Heron Point House you will see many varieties of wildlife, both in the water and on land. It is common to see deer, peacocks, otters, raccoons, seals, hummingbirds and bald eagles daily. If you are lucky you may even see one of the local great horned or barred owls. Bears and cougars frequent the area and you may catch a glimpse of one while enjoying one of the many hiking trails nearby.
