About this house rental



23 minutes from Victoria, 23 minutes from Sooke, Blue Sky Retreat is a quiet respite and rest for anyone wanting to get the best out of their stay at the southern end of Vancouver Island.

We have a suite available with a private living room, bedroom and private balcony with swing, gravity chairs, BBQ and your own private entrance, a kitchenette and private bathroom with shower. One additional guest can easily be accommodated on the memory foam full size sofa bed in the living room. We provide additional bedding (pillows, duvets, blankets) as required.

Accommodating your Dog

We are dog-friendly! Just include that you’re travelling with a dog in the Booking Summary under “Travellers” and check “I am travelling with pets”. You can view the pet fee under “Price Details” at the Book Now screen, under “Host Fees”.

There is a private area down at the suite for your pet to use. (Please pick up after it!) We ask guests to keep their dog in the suite area and not roam freely up in the garden.

The kitchenette includes our own freshly roasted coffee, assorted midnight snacks, teas, milk and bottled water in the fridge/freezer. A countertop convection oven/toaster and microwave are also included.

The location is conveniently close to amenities, Lookout Lake Park, Olympic View Golf course, hiking, Galloping Goose Trail, and about 8 minutes from the ocean with many off-leash beaches.

Our Dogs are very friendly!
We share our home with two Bernese Mountain Dogs, Sophie and Teesha. They are very friendly, people-loving dogs and will be very excited to greet new guests. Give them a couple of minutes to quieten down when we come out to meet you on arrival.

For prospective guests that may not be comfortable around dogs, please let us know and we can try to find a way to accommodate you by keeping our pups inside at certain times. However, if any member of your party is frightened of dogs, our place may not be suitable to book.

Very comfortable suite and good accomodation for our dog. Owner provided very good directions and was there to greet us on arrival. Unfortunately the weather prevented us from enjoying the deck/patio attached to the suite which otherwise would have provided a private and scenic space in which to relax.

Lovely space with gorgeous views, we enjoyed meeting the dogs and they were super polite and friendly with our pup too. Lots of thoughtful touches including toiletries you might have forgotten and emergency snacks! Doug sorted out an issue with the pet fee (that was VRBO's fault) and was super quick to reply to messages. Bed was very comfy!
