Stunning views from balcony, kitchen, dining table and living room. Beautiful getaway along the rugged coast. Stayed in October. Advice to other non-summer guests, gas up before you come and bring groceries with you. Provisioning is sparse. But the Renfrew Pub served us well. Loved the fireplace!!

A spacious and comfortable property with a deck overlooking the bay - very relaxing and peaceful. The area is quite remote, but there are useful facilities like a gas station and small convenience shop- it’s probably best to stock up before you arrive. Great places to eat nearby like the Renfrew Pub . We had a fantastic stay - thank you .

River Raven Retreat is a gem. Although it is not a large cottage, it feels spacious because the ceilings are so high, and because it is flooded with light. It is spotlessly clean, thoughtfully decorated and cozy, with a remarkably well-equipped kitchen. The beds are very comfortable, and each bedroom has a very large closet. The bathroom is very well set up. Best of all is the view, which is extraordinary; so breathtaking and special, in fact, that my sister and I had difficulty tearing ourselves away from the balcony to go out and enjoy Port Renfrew. Our dealings with the owners were very good. If you choose to stay here, you will be very glad you did. Most highly recommended!

This location was beautiful and had everything we needed! The only issue was, that it was obvious that the floors had not been cleaned, but that is more on the cleaning crew than the Vrbo owners. Thank you sharing your beautiful location!

Serene surrounded by nature

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cottage in Port Renfrew. The water views from the cottage are stunning, really peaceful and relaxing. Leah and Rob were very communicative and helpful in their instructions. The place is very clean and well-equipped. Would recommend for any family looking for a getaway into nature to enjoy the serene, beautiful and tranquil landscapes of Vancouver Island. Thank you!

Very nice place to stay. Great views. Kitchen well stocked. Clean.Would have given 5 stars except for one thing which is a very individual preference so quite subjective. We found the mattresses very hard. We like a firm mattress but both beds have very firm mattress’.
