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

Perfect spot for elopement

My wife and I held our private wedding ceremony at this cabin and it was the perfect venue. The cabin and surroundings are very peaceful and the private beach was a gorgeous backdrop for photos. We saw seals, otters, and even a curious black bear came to say hello.We can’t wait to come back soon!

Our stay at Wren Cottage was the cherry on top of our lovely vacation. We enjoyed our nights of cribbage by the fireplace and waking up to the breathtaking ocean view. Many slugs were studied by our children, and we were able to appreciate the ocean wildlife from the observation deck. This will be a very fond memory for us to cherish for years to come! Thank you so much for sharing your home with us.

Just what we needed

We were looking for something that was comfy, but isolated with beach front, great views and access. It’s a lovely location where were able to drive to the few things we wanted to see, and hang out in comfort. Perfect!

Amazing stay (again!!)

My wife and I cannot say enough good things about this rental cottage. It was our 2nd time visiting and we will definitely be back in the near future. Clean, cozy, perfect size, and great hosts. Loved the wood burning fire place and the privacy of the property. Falling asleep to the sound of waves crashing against the cliffs was such a treat. See you again soon!

A must stay gem of a place

This property is an absolute treasure! From the moment we pulled into the driveway we were in love with place. The views from every corner of the cottage (both inside and out) are stunning. There is an eye treat at every glance. The cottage offered us a memorable romantic getaway, something that we will be talking about for quite some time. We will definitely be back.

If this place is available, don’t hesitate - book it now! This was the most perfect, secluded, peaceful cabin with absolutely stunning ocean views!

Cozy cottage with great views of the Pacific Ocean and Juan du Fuca Strait. Windows letting the views and the sunshine in! It’s a nice setup inside with the open plan.

Amazing weekend we needed

We could not of asked for a better stay. It was quiet and clean. Views were amazing. We didn’t see any whales but I am sure they pass by. A propane fire pit/heater for the deck would have been a great addition but we sat indoors when the chill settled in for the evening. We would 100% book again if in the area.
