Welcome to The Surf Chalet, an oceanfront home perched on a bluff with hot tub overlooking the Salish Sea. Escape from the daily grind and take in all the west coast has to offer. Spend your days enjoying local world class surf and your evenings recharging in this newly renovated space located on over an acre of treed oceanfront property.
Newly renovated home with full kitchen, large dining room table, and open-concept main floor living space.
In each bedroom you’ll find a king bed and an additional sleeping space all with luxury linens. Two rooms have futons while the third has a unique custom bunk bed.
The large, west-facing, wrap-around deck is the perfect spot for a morning coffee overlooking the ocean or a post-surf soak in the 8-person hot tub.
The large yard is great for a game of bocce or lawn game of choice. You’ll also find a propane fire-pit and sitting area with second barbecue off of the kitchen on the sheltered side of the house for those more blustery days.
Should you feel like going on a mission without leaving the property, take a stroll through our trail to the oceanside shack on the bluff; perfect for a picnic or cozying up with a book.
The entire home is open to guests other than a few locked closets and a storage room downstairs.
The Surf Chalet is located in a quiet, rural seaside neighbourhood with large lots and trees throughout, making it a private oasis.
*Note: we have wonderful neighbours and ask that you be mindful and respectful.
A few noteworthy spots:
- Numerous spots for surf including Jordan River (a 10 min drive) where you’ll also find The Cold Shoulder Cafe
- Flea Beach is a 3 min walk from the house, perfect for a stroll with your morning coffee
- French Beach is a 5 min walk on the other side and also has a great day use area and park for kids at the far end (approx 15-20 min walk)
- Historic Sheringham Lighthouse is just up our road, about a 20 minute walk
- Shirley Delicious cafe is a must and only a 5 min drive
- Stoked Pizzeria serves up delicious woodfired pizza and only a 3 min drive
Having a vehicle is ideal for getting to the property as it is quite rural and you may want to explore the many sites along this stretch of coast. However, once you are here, there are a number of things to do and see all within walking distance of the property including two beautiful beaches and the Sheringham Lighthouse. There is a long driveway with a couple of pullouts, allowing for at least 6 vehicles to easily park on-site.
Only Rogers/Fido customers have cell service out this way so you’ll need to have screenshots of the map or directions saved prior to leaving Sooke. Also note the check-in instructions so you are able to access the house.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Super comfortable and spotlessly clean VRBO with great beds, pillows and linens, beautiful view, well stocked kitchen, bathroom and living areas. Great communication with the hosts and cool beaches to walk or drive quickly to. Would definitely love to stay again!

We loved the location because we wanted to be away from the city in a more rugged, natural environment. We were comfortable and happy staying here and all six of us would go back if the opportunity arises!

We were a group of a few couples looking for a getaway in the nature of Sooke and this place was perfect. French beach is just down the road and the place was a dream! Well stocked kitchen for cooking and enough space for everyone to relax. The view from the lookout is amazing for a morning coffee :)

Hi Brittany, Thanks for coming to stay with us, come back anytime! You and your group were great to host. We are glad you enjoyed the amenities and the lookout too! - Cass & Nick
The house is very comfortable and felt like home. Beautiful view, quick walk to two beaches, and an awesome "view hut" on the edge of the property overlooking the ocean. We saw whales from there on the morning we were leaving. My husband and I stayed with our three children and grandson, and had a wonderful time. Cassandra and her husband were very helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend!

We stayed 2 nights here with 3 teens and it was amazing! The house is so well equipped, very clean, excellent beds and beautiful location. We were all very impressed! Our teens said it was one of the best places we have ever stayed, and no one needed to sleep on a couch! Communication was very fast and they were very accommodating! We truly would love to return.

Thanks for the wonderful review Jeni! We are happy you and your family enjoyed the Surf Chalet! We would love to host you and your family anytime :) - Cass & Nick
The property, house, and view were all gems! Clean, well stocked kitchen with higher end appliances and basics needed for light meals. House was clean, comfy and cozy. Quiet neighborhood. Lovely walk to the local beaches.
Outdoor property spaces with the hot tub (well maintained), fire pit, and shack at the water were all enjoyed nightly. No issues during our stay. We would return without hesitation!
