Lovely cabin for the perfect nature weekend escape. We loved spending time with the dogs, relaxing in the hammock, and watching old movies at night beside the fire. Michele was a great host and we would come back again!

Waterfront cabin in Brentwood Bay.

SharonRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Gail's House is a beloved family getaway filled with quirky and interesting marine and nautical pictures and gadgets so lovingly collected. It's very comfortable and right on the dock and the views are amazing. Lucky for us, we were there in prawn season and our hosts gave us the best prawns we have ever had, fresh from the water. I want to return.

Rainbow Ridge B&B Cottage

TaniyaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Jim's rainbow cottage is a wonderful place to stay. It is private and has stunning views from every corner of the home. It has been maintained very well and Jim is super responsive either over airbnb app or via phone. The fireplace was a big hit for us in the cooler spring season. We loved cooking in the kitchen and playing music. I can't think of any better place to stay in Salt Spring island if we were to visit again.

Strait Surf House

JessicaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
In a word, incredible. This is hands down the most beautiful place I’ve stayed in all of my Airbnb travels. The home is gorgeous and the views of the strait are breathtaking. The host was responsive and kind; we had no issues during our stay and the home was more beautiful than the pictures and descriptions could even capture. It was truly an immersive experience in the beauty of nature. We will be back!

Poirier Cove - house on the beach

TanyaRating, 5 stars3 days ago
This won’t be surprising because it’s been said in every review. This place is amazing. To have an acre and a half of private, oceanfront property is rare. We loved everything. Sitting on the deck with a glass of wine listening to the waves come in was sublime. Corinne is for sure the quickest, friendliest, most generous host I’ve encountered through Airbnb. Bathrooms had great water pressure. When we had a little downtime, the TV was big and fantastic. The hikes around the area are just top notch. What people haven’t mentioned though is Corinne doesn’t have a lengthy ‘clean to do list’ for when you leave. I also think people are walking away from Airbnb’s due to price gouging. This place is crazy reasonable and I will come again! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Your guide to Port Renfrew

All About Port Renfrew

The small British Columbia community of Port Renfrew sits beneath towering Douglas firs and western redcedars in the always-lush fog zone of Vancouver Island. There is no traditional town center to speak of here — basic amenities are covered by a convenience store, post office, and pub. Not surprisingly, outdoors enthusiasts come here to explore and soak up the solitude and tranquility. Serious hikers are particularly fond of the challenging Juan de Fuca Marine Trail and West Coast Trail, both of which end on the outskirts of town.

As soon as you drive up the Pacific Marine Road and pass Fairy Lake, where you’ll spot a whimsical-looking tiny fir tree growing on a log in the water, you’ll know that you’ve entered a realm of wild natural beauty. This is the Tall Tree Capital of Canada, and there are some ancient giants preserved in old-growth sections of the surrounding forests. Out on the ocean, you can surf world-class waves at any number of the pebble beaches near town.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Port Renfrew

Port Renfrew’s top attractions focus on its natural surroundings, so the long, warm summer days are ideal for outdoor exploration. The community’s location in Vancouver Island’s fog zone means that it’s rare for the region to experience heatwaves in the summer, creating comfortable conditions for more physically demanding activities, including hiking and mountain biking.

Seasonal rains begin in October and continue through April, with November and December experiencing the most precipitation. In February, Port Renfrew’s Song & Surf Music Festival hosts an intimate weekend-long celebration of live music. In the springtime, gray whales migrate up the coast from Mexico to Alaska. You can spot them from the shores of the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve or on chartered guide boats.


Top things to do in Port Renfrew

Botanical Beach Provincial Park

Just to the southeast of town, Botanical Beach Provincial Park sits on the Pacific Coast, which is the southern end of the 25-mile-long Juan de Fuca Trail. Erosion has carved pockets into the flat sandstone here, and the resulting tide pools are filled with marine creatures, including crabs, sea anemones, and, if you’re lucky, octopuses. Just be sure to go at low tide — otherwise, everything will be underwater.

Avatar Grove

At Avatar Grove, just 20 minutes’ drive from Port Renfrew, a stand of moss-covered Douglas firs and redcedars have become an attraction in their own right. Take the rugged walking path that winds up to the site of Canada’s Gnarliest Tree, an immense old-growth redcedar with a monstrous 10-foot burl in its lower trunk. Another star attraction at the 124-acre grove is Big Lonely Doug, a 230-foot Douglas fir. The second-tallest tree on Vancouver Island, it is named for its isolated location.

Sombrio Beach

Less than 30 minutes from town, Sombrio Beach is accessed by a 15-minute hike from the parking lot and offers an expansive view of the Pacific Ocean and windswept trees clinging to rocky outcrops. You’ll get a sense of why the western side of Vancouver Island is considered the wild side — look for the hidden waterfall in a moss-lined cave on the east side of the beach.
