Best Vacation
Perfect jumping off point for exploration of southwest Vancouver Island. We were able to leave our regular working selfs at the door and switch into vacation mode with your rentals Beautiful views, comfy beds, and balcony fire table. Fully stocked kitchen and large fridge gave us the comforts of homemade meals.

Wonderful!
Location was absolutely stunning with so much to do around the area. Had to re-clean some dishes (inside of some mugs were crusty and the carpet was not fully vacuumed along the patio door) but overall a clean place. A few more details about how stocked the kitchen was would be great on the listing - for example, we bought condiments, olive oil, and coffee but all that was available for our use (which was great and would have been good to know ahead of time). Overall, a wonderful stay and have already recommended to others!

Fire pit dream.

Beautiful Views
We love the views we have stayed twice in this unit. Wish they had better Canadian TV ( sports channel). Couldn’t get hockey play off games which we asked about before booking and never got a response. We’re able to watch at the Pub but wasn’t ideal. Would have given 5 stars but it’s time for a deep clean carpets are getting stained, toilets need good scrub, windows need a spring clean.

Off the grid stay…
Wonderful location and wonderful experience. We have not done anything like this before as this location is indeed off the beaten track especially for us coming from the NY area. If you want to destress and disconnect this is the location - overlooking a spectacular port renfrew bay. Out of the world view from the deck. All amenities are excellent. If you are into nature - beaches , trails , walks etc this is it. There is not much around town - single gas station , single convenience store (which is surprisingly good) , couple of eateries and pretty much nothing else. If this is what you want this is it. 2 hrs north west of Victoria - the drive to this place is amazing . Had our rental car and is needed to drive around the island. We also bought provisions from victoria and pretty much cooked in the kitchen most of the times. The cabin was very modern and comfortable. All in all an excellent location.
