Power outage can occur year round in Port Renfrew, so it's best to come prepared with food, and enough fuel in our vehicle to make the return trip to Sooke or Lake Cowichan - Cell phone service is only available for Rogers and Telus networks and any small providers that use that network. Emergency (911) calls can still be made with any carrier.

Despite a booking snafu, Steve and Liisa quickly made arrangements to stock us up with clean sheets and towels for our stay. They’re excellent communicators and very hospitable. The cottage was laid out nicely, kitchen stocked with basics like olive oil, good coffee, spices, etc. We loved our time at Halibut Hideway, watching eagles hunting on the ocean. Highly recommend!
The condo was clean, and the view was lovely. A clean and cozy place. It was a great location to explore the fabulous Juan de Fuca area. The units seem pretty new, and the landscape is a little barren when approaching the units. But the view off the deck is where you spend your time when not out hiking, and that is perfect. We cooked a lot and would recommend a salad spinner and vegetable steamer. We had a great time and recommend this unit.
This is a beautiful location and we truly enjoyed our stay! They had a very accurate website description so we were not disappointed. The kitchen was fully stocked which was great. Our only complaint was the cleaning staff which must have given it a pretty quick turnover because we found a pacifier and kid's toy under the master bed, a dried puddle of urine in a corner, kids' black hand prints over a wall, leftover butter and crumbs in a cupboard, the folding couch a bed contained goldfish and other snacks...so not quite what I would call clean. This was easily offset by the gorgeous view and the very enjoyable balcony!

Everything about our stay here was perfect. The owners carefully thought out everything someone would need in a short term stay. My family got the quiet and relaxing time away, and we enjoyed the local hiking trails. I highly recommend this rental! Thanks so much.
Lovely property with amazing views. Very clean. Loved watching the bald eagle and other birds. Very convenient to good local restaurants and Botanical Beach. Would definitely stay again.
Couldn’t ask for a more picturesque view from the large patio. Firebowl was a great addition to enjoy the evening. Electric fireplace inside kept the room cozy on a cool night. Large L shape relaxing couch, well appointed kitchen and comfortable beds. Perfect stay
Our stay was everything we could have imagined and then some! The whole place was well stocked with games, entertainment and beautiful views. The kitchen has everything you need to function (even decent coffee and good knives). There is a smart TV and great wifi so you can still stay connected in the evenings and watch your favourite streaming services. The neighbourhood is a nice place to walk your dog around when the rain lets up and is as close as you need to be to all the hikes in Port Renfrew. We will for sure be staying again!

I liked the view, the proximity to the marina, the quality of the beds. I didn’t like that I found half done linens in the washer- sitting wet, the hideabed had dirty linen and that I just couldn’t get the coffeemaker to work. The biggest problem was that no one is close by as a caretaker if something is wrong.
