Sandy Feet Retreat- Port Renfrew

Welcome to Sandy Feet Retreat- Port Renfrew!
This brand new luxury 2 bed/1 bath home has everything you need to relax and unwind in this rugged location on the Wild West Coast of Vancouver Island.
There is an open concept area with Dining, Living and Kitchen space all together so that you can take in the incredible views through the floor to ceiling windows, no matter what you are doing! The kitchen is fully stocked including the basic spices, condiments and all the utensils, pots/pans for you to use to cook yourself a nice meal. We also provide coffee and Tea! The living room has a gas fireplace to cozy up near, as well as a 50 inch 4K smart TV with Netflix. Family games are also available. There is also a large dining room table that seats 6 for all your larger family meals.
There are 2 bedrooms – one is arranged with a large King bed and the second bedroom has 2 twin beds. The sofa in the living room also pulls out into a comfortable queen sized sleeping space. The cottage is outfitted with extra pillows and blankets throughout. We even have a crib on hand for those travelling with children under 2. 
There is 1 full bathroom with tub and shower that has extra towels on hand and complementary shampoo, conditioner and body wash. 
There is also a washer and dryer in the bedroom closet should you need to do a load or 2 of laundry while you are there.
There is a large deck with seating for 6 that includes a gas BBQ, propane firepit and a magnificent ocean and mountain view, perfect for spotting whales, eagles and other wildlife!
There is also free Wifi/ Netflix throughout and board games for those trying to stay away from screen time.
This is the perfect cottage for a staycation, family getaway, family reunion or just with friends!!
Port Renfrew is located just 1.5 hours from Victoria and 2 hours from Nanaimo and is popular for fishing, cycling and hiking. Surfing, paddle boarding and kayaking down the Gordon River is also very popular. There are also many places to hike and explore including the gorgeous Botanical Beach and the old growth of Avatar Grove. Whether it’s ancient tall trees, gorgeous beaches, five-star fishing, surfing, or world famous hiking along the West Coast Trail everything is steps away from your front door. 
For the small size of Port Renfrew, there are numerous options to enjoy great food and drinks in the local area. The Renfrew Pub, Coastal Kitchen Cafe, Tomi's Home Cooking, and Bridgeman's Restaurant are all great choices that consistently receive outstanding reviews. A limited selection of groceries including beer, wine and spirits can be purchased at the Port Renfrew General Store (open from 9am-7pm every day). Gas, diesel and propane are available at the new gas station. There are a few cafes and bistros available just minutes away from the cottage. Debit and credit cards are accepted at all major establishments.
It is important to note that there are power outages that occur in Port Renfrew, so please be prepared. Port Renfrew is ruggedly beautiful, and part of it's charm is that it is extremely isolated. A downfall of the isolation, is that if the weather causes a tree to fall on the power lines, or some other incident occurs, power will be out and it may take a few- numerous hours to be repaired by BC Hydro. The power outages are completely out of our control. We do provide LED lanterns for light, and the stove, bbq, and outdoor fireplace will work (light them with the long lighters provided). As well, there should hopefully be enough hot water in the tank to last the outage and the fireplace will still work to keep you warm.
Lastly, it should be noted that Port Renfrew is a developing town and may not be as quiet as expected. We cannot control if there is construction or if a neighbour is maintaining their property during normal working hours. Please be aware and understand that outdoor noise is out of our control and we do not know if and when it will happen.

Our house rules: no smoking/ vaping in the cottage, no pets whatsoever in the cottage, no parties in the cottage.
Make yourself comfortable in this cottage, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected.
Make use of convenient amenities, which include complimentary wireless internet access and barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like wireless internet access and onsite parking.

We had a wonderful stay in this condo! It was very clean well stocked and had a wonderful view outside! Firepit kept us toasty as we watched the Eagles from the patio. The beds were very comfortable. We cannot wait to stay again!

I’d stay here again
Condo was great. Very comfortable. Fantastic view into the sound. We rarely turned on lights, instead letting the fading light of the day come in through the windows. On the other hand, it’s in an area undergoing a lot of construction. A lot of unfinished condos in the vicinity. It’s very convenient to a lot of beautiful areas. A lot of driving on dusty logging roads, often passing and stopping at incredibly beautiful sights. The town is very small. Essentially, one place to eat dinner (the pub). Food and drink were good, and the people very nice, but the line to get in could be long at times. A handful of places open for breakfast and lunch. Every place we ate was good, although healthy choices were limited. The general store’s supplies are limited. The closest town of any size is an hour away either direction. Buy supplies before getting to Port Renfrew. Having said that, we had a great time. The beauty of the area, the weather, the people were all great. Because it’s a launching point for two long trails there are a lot of hikers - mostly young. The bulk of the service people are also young. All were friendly and helpful. Made the trip that much more enjoyable and vibrant.

Felt that it is overpriced for the size of the Unit. It is a nice place but for the life of me I cannot understand why the kitchen set up is so wanting, the utensils are cheap, very limited and no simple items like steamers etc.

The view is spectacular!!
The place is very well suited for a couple and accommodates a single guest or two well. The view relaxed us both morning and evening. So well decorated and beds were sooo comfy! We cooked in, bbq’d and enjoyed the PR Pub and Bridgemans. Pacheedaht is a great walk at any time of day. We enjoyed our travels to Big Lonely Doug and Sombrio, as well as Botanical Beach, which is close and a must see. The Market Store is perfect for those extra items you forget to pick up at the grocery store in Sooke, even has fun stickers!

Amazing location with all the bells and whistles
Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. The Sandyfeet Retreat was even better than expected. Every detail was perfect. Coffee, spices, shampoo, conditioner and soaps were plentiful and great quality. Bedding was soft and ample extra blankets if you needed them. The deck with the fire table was well enjoyed. Port Renfrew is a wonderful remote location yet has the necessary services anyone would need. First visit to Sandyfeet Retreat of many!

Top tier of home rentals you could ever receive
We have rented quite a few places over the years on VRBO and this place in Port Renfrew was right at the top for cleanliness, spectacular view of the ocean, quick communication from the owner, extremely clean and the suite being very well stocked. Everything was done perfectly by the owner, an example of how all rentals should be offered. Nothing is overlooked, even Netflix was included after a long hike to relax and watch a movie. Get up in the morning and have a coffee on the deck as you watch the sites and sounds of nature on the ocean. This place was a gem and the owner was amazing!!!

Perfect Getaway
Such a scenic, well appointed, beautifully decorated, lovely place to be our home for 3 nights. The owners have thought of everything to ensure the comfort of their guests. The deck became our favourite place to be, whether it was reading, taking in the wonderful views of the ocean, the eagles, the boats and lighting the fire table at sundown was all perfect. Definitely we will be going back!

Lovely getaway
Our family of three enjoyed the change of scenery for a couple days at this beautiful cabin on the water. The accomodation was clean, comfortable and well prepared. The fireplace on the deck while watching the Eagles over the water was enjoyable. This was a wonderful place to settle while we visited Botanical Beach and Eden and Avatar Groves. Thank you!

Relaxing seaside cottage for friends
We were 4 young adult friends who were exploring the Island by car. Stayed 2 nights at Sandy feet retreat and loved our time there. Cottage is well appointed with nice furnishings and beautiful view. Connection is limited, no cell service in town whatsoever and wifi is slow and sometimes cuts out so be prepared to unplug and play some board games.

Port renfrew is stunning and the views from the cottage were incredible. Access to the marina and restaurant is down some stairs and then another 5 min walk and you are at a beautiful secluded beach. So many places to go around port renfrew - fairy and lizard lake, Sombrio, botanical, whale watching is incredible, mystic beach etc. Owners are great, place is new and clean, well stocked and great size for a family of 4-6. Perfect summer holiday
