Guest suite on a quiet country property

J HanneRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We love rural living, and Bob's place is super. It's tucked into the forest. There are no traffic sounds - just birdsong in the mornings and frogs at night. The pond is beautiful, the koi are amazing, and the veggie gardens are extensive. Bob's house and suite are meticulously crafted. Check out the wood floors that he installed himself, from maple trees cut on his own property. Beautiful! We loved staying there and most of all, we appreciated Bob's generosity. He shared information about the area, and even spent part of one morning touring us around Duncan. We learned so much with his help. What a great host! We hope to return in future.

100% recommend this stay. If you want a stellar view in a private setting this is it. Sip your evening beverage and watch the sunset and listen to the birds; it’s like you’re in a bird sanctuary! Comfortable bed, hot shower, well stocked kitchen. Responsive host that was helpful on a moments notice.

This was our first time in Sooke and we shared Fredrick’s place with a friend we hadn’t seen in years. The warm home like environment, the separate bedroom ,bathroom spaces worked perfectly. The views were wonderful and we dined and explored the area easily. We wished we could have stayed longer.

Beachfront paradise

RuslanRating, 5 stars11 months ago
Pat's place is awesome. We, a family of four - two adults and two kids (one is at teen age and another one is younger), spent a great long weekend there. Bright, cozy condo with great view from almost any window. It fits all of us, has a nice kitchen with everything you need for your stay. Heated pool with a hot tub, which we and kids enjoyed, just downstairs. The Bay is very good for paddle boarding. We did twice over our stay. If tide is low, you can reach a tiny island where you can find lots of purple and orange sea stars, crabs, and oysters. Ladysmith and Nanaimo suggest great dinner options. Nanaimo also has a nice walkable Marina merging into Maffeo Sutton park. If you like hikes, we tried Extension Ridge Trail hike near Nanaimo and can strongly recommend it to anyone. Malahat Tower is a fun place to visit, just one hour of driving from "Inn of the Sea" resort, we've been there, and were not disappointed. Will definitely stay again at Pat's place.

Your guide to Port Renfrew

All About Port Renfrew

The small British Columbia community of Port Renfrew sits beneath towering Douglas firs and western redcedars in the always-lush fog zone of Vancouver Island. There is no traditional town center to speak of here — basic amenities are covered by a convenience store, post office, and pub. Not surprisingly, outdoors enthusiasts come here to explore and soak up the solitude and tranquility. Serious hikers are particularly fond of the challenging Juan de Fuca Marine Trail and West Coast Trail, both of which end on the outskirts of town.

As soon as you drive up the Pacific Marine Road and pass Fairy Lake, where you’ll spot a whimsical-looking tiny fir tree growing on a log in the water, you’ll know that you’ve entered a realm of wild natural beauty. This is the Tall Tree Capital of Canada, and there are some ancient giants preserved in old-growth sections of the surrounding forests. Out on the ocean, you can surf world-class waves at any number of the pebble beaches near town.

The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Port Renfrew

Port Renfrew’s top attractions focus on its natural surroundings, so the long, warm summer days are ideal for outdoor exploration. The community’s location in Vancouver Island’s fog zone means that it’s rare for the region to experience heatwaves in the summer, creating comfortable conditions for more physically demanding activities, including hiking and mountain biking.

Seasonal rains begin in October and continue through April, with November and December experiencing the most precipitation. In February, Port Renfrew’s Song & Surf Music Festival hosts an intimate weekend-long celebration of live music. In the springtime, gray whales migrate up the coast from Mexico to Alaska. You can spot them from the shores of the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve or on chartered guide boats.

Top things to do in Port Renfrew

Botanical Beach Provincial Park

Just to the southeast of town, Botanical Beach Provincial Park sits on the Pacific Coast, which is the southern end of the 25-mile-long Juan de Fuca Trail. Erosion has carved pockets into the flat sandstone here, and the resulting tide pools are filled with marine creatures, including crabs, sea anemones, and, if you’re lucky, octopuses. Just be sure to go at low tide — otherwise, everything will be underwater.

Avatar Grove

At Avatar Grove, just 20 minutes’ drive from Port Renfrew, a stand of moss-covered Douglas firs and redcedars have become an attraction in their own right. Take the rugged walking path that winds up to the site of Canada’s Gnarliest Tree, an immense old-growth redcedar with a monstrous 10-foot burl in its lower trunk. Another star attraction at the 124-acre grove is Big Lonely Doug, a 230-foot Douglas fir. The second-tallest tree on Vancouver Island, it is named for its isolated location.

Sombrio Beach

Less than 30 minutes from town, Sombrio Beach is accessed by a 15-minute hike from the parking lot and offers an expansive view of the Pacific Ocean and windswept trees clinging to rocky outcrops. You’ll get a sense of why the western side of Vancouver Island is considered the wild side — look for the hidden waterfall in a moss-lined cave on the east side of the beach.
