An Oceanfront Cottage with Stunning Views and Direct Beach Access

Completely renovated in 2018, this oceanfront log cottage with wraparound deck, large windows, separate viewing platform and pebble beach access oozes seaside charm. Relax by the wood burning fireplace, prepare fresh meals in the new open-concept kitchen (all stainless-steel appliances including dishwasher, quartz countertops and porcelain apron-front sink). Serve up to six at the dining table which features views of the ocean in two directions. Go to sleep in fresh new beds and linens with the soothing sound of the surf. The master bedroom has a queen bed; the loft can be set up as either a king bed or two twins. Small children can sleep on a sofa in the loft or the main sofa in the living room. Ideal for two couples; two adults with two older children and/or two younger children. The all-new bathroom features a deep tub, subway tile and in-floor heating. The large loft includes a sofa and table for puzzles and games or working on your laptop.

Enjoy the sights and sounds of the ocean in the private one-acre garden. The view to the southwest is the Olympic Peninsula and mountains, Washington State. The view along the scalloped coast to the northwest is out to the open Pacific Ocean. Whales (grey, humpback, minke and orcas) can occasionally be spotted – migration is between March and October. Sea lions, harbour seals and otters will often rest/play on the rocks along the shoreline. Weasels/rabbits/raccoons and occasionally black bears will pass through the yard. Many birds such as eagles, osprey, jays, loons, robins, kingfishers, gulls and of course our namesake wrens, nest and feed on the property or nearby.

The cottage is perfect as a romantic retreat or a nature lover’s getaway. We have hosted micro-weddings, elopements, honeymoons and anniversaries. It is a great home base for those wishing to hike the nearby Trails (West Coast and Juan de Fuca Trails), to explore the amazing beaches just a stone’s throw away, or to check-out the many attractions in Port Renfrew, Jordan River, Sooke and Victoria.

There is a new automatic power back-up system to ensure your comfort during any disruption in power, as can occur on the Island from time to time.

Note also that there are security cameras on the exterior of the Cottage to allow for investigation of any large property burglaries but there are NO interior cameras and recordings are only viewed in the case of a break-in/burglary.
You must notify us in advance if guests other than those listed on the booking will be joining you (maximum of 4 adults).
NOTE - we are sorry but we cannot offer exceptions to the no pets policy - we have family members and regular guests with severe allergies

Another lovely stay at Wren's cottage. It was impeccably clean and cozy. I always give a sigh of contentment when we walk through the door. Although we did not have high expectations for weather, we had crisp clear days and were treated to gorgeous sunsets from the cottage.
