Relax and refresh as you enjoy a stunning ocean, mountain and marina view from your private deck or the living room wall of windows. This 1-bedroom ocean front unit sleeps 2 comfortably in the queen bedroom, and 2 on the sofa bed. The firetable on the deck, allows you to enjoy the evenings through all seasons.
You will find a well-stocked kitchen—with a wonderful view—that offers all new appliances and plenty of counter space. You may choose to cook your dinner on the BBQ. Port Renfrew is a world-class fishing destination where you can catch and also buy fish. And, several nearby restaurants offer great options that satisfy most appetites, including vegetarians.
When you’re not looking at the spectacular views and sunsets, hiking, or seeing the sights, you can watch cable on the 55” television in front of the living room fireplace. Books, games and puzzles are also available.
Explore the exceptional Pacific Northwest rainforest, go hiking, enjoy beach sightseeing, or surf nearby. Don’t miss storm watching at Botanical Beach, world-class salmon and halibut fishing in season (May-October), and the stunning Avatar Grove—a photographer’s dream.
Just a ten-minute walk from the cottages brings you to the Pacific Gateway Marina and the spectacular ocean-view restaurant, Bridgemans. Tomi’s Home Cooking is a short walk away, and The Coastal Kitchen Café and The Renfrew Pub are also just a 10-minute walk away if you want a change from cooking.
For groceries, it’s a good idea to stock up on your way to Port Renfrew in Sooke or Cowichan Lake. The General Store on Parkinson Road offers a small selection of groceries, including beer, wine, and liquor (open daily from 11am-7pm). Credit cards, debit cards, and cash are all accepted.

Most of these are available at the San Juan Market (in Port Renfrew), but we never know if the supply will keep up with the demand. And please, take home with you all the condiments you brought;

With this mind, be sure to re-clean each re useable piece of kitchen equipment before your personal use (there is plenty of dish soap and clean dish rags in the cottage)

Wi-Fi: There can be limited cell service in Port Renfrew, but all cottages are equipped with Wi-Fi. So you will have access to internet and emails. You will find the wifi login and password in the Welcome book binder in the cottage, and door code email.
INTERNET SERVICE IN PORT RENFREW: It is important to know that, in the summer months or very busy weekends, when many people are visiting Port Renfrew, streaming services like Netflix, Crave etc.. may be slow to watch due to the high demand on the available bandwidth of internet service that serves Port Renfrew unless you are in a cottage with high speed internet.
NO GROCERY STORE IN PORT RENFREW: Port Renfrew only has a General Store, open daily (11AM to 7PM). Although it is a very well equipped little store, you will find a limited selection of fresh meat, and only a small variety of fruit and veggies. You can expect a good variety of dry goods, coffee, spice, along with bread, milk, eggs, bacon and other sealed pre packed meats and liquor, wine and beer. You may also visit the grocery stores in Sooke or Lake Cowichan, depending from which way you will be travelling.
