About this property

A quiet, private suite overlooking a quaint lake



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.

****** Important! ******
Guests are required to install and use the VRBO app on your phone to ensure you receive important messages from us before and during your stay.

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.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Doug Parsons

Host profile image
Semi-Retired professionals enjoying island life with our pups. We love hosting and sharing the amazing views of our location with others.

Why they chose this property

Even though we spread to be in the suburbs, we back into a lake and look out over mountains and wildlife. We fell in love with the arbutus in the front garden and the lake in the back!

What makes this property unique

Our home has some very relaxing spaces to enjoy nature, overlooking the ocean, lake, and mountains. Yet only 20 minutes from the big city and 5 minutes from most beaches and box stores.
