Welcome to Driftwood Cottage – Your Oceanfront Retreat in Port Renfrew
Wake up to sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean and fall asleep to the sound of crashing waves at our newly renovated, beachfront cottage in the heart of Beach Camp. One of the best ocean views in all of Port Renfrew is right outside your window—where nature’s beauty unfolds from dawn to dusk.
Slide open the glass door and step onto your private deck, where you'll be greeted by fresh sea air, soaring eagles, and the sound of the tide rolling in. Sip your morning coffee while watching the mist lift off the mountains or stroll the nearby beach just steps away. Whether you're here to fish, hike, surf, or simply relax, Driftwood Cottage is the perfect base for your west coast adventure.
Just a 10-minute walk (or 3-minute drive) brings you to the newly opened Pacific Gateway Marina—ideal for fishing trips. Planning to hike the West Coast Trail? The trailhead is just a short drive away. Traveling with children? There's a family-friendly playground right across the street.
Inside, Driftwood Cottage has been thoughtfully renovated with comfort and style in mind. The open-concept living area features:
A spacious kitchen with a large island
New stainless steel appliances
A dining table that seats 8
A cozy fireplace upgrade
Warm, welcoming decor designed for connection
With 4 beautifully appointed bedrooms, the cottage sleeps up to 10 guests comfortably. Each room features a brand-new king-size bed with luxurious 350-thread-count sheets to ensure a restful night’s sleep.
Step outside and enjoy:
A new cedar barrel sauna – perfect for post-adventure relaxation
An outdoor shower – rinse off after surfing or hiking
An outdoor firepit – roast marshmallows and share stories under the stars
We’ve stocked the cottage with everything you need: a full set of dishes, glassware, cookware, all linens and towels, and thoughtful touches to make you feel at home.
This is a place where families bond, friends reconnect, and couples escape. Whether you're planning an active getaway or a peaceful retreat, Driftwood Cottage offers the ideal blend of rustic charm, modern comfort, and unforgettable views.
When you wake up here, you’ll feel like you’re seeing the ocean for the first time—every time.

About the host

We are a family of 4 who love to travel and adventure. I am BC born and raised and currently live in Whistler, BC. We now spend our time between Whistler and Port Renfrew, BC.
Why they chose this property
We love to surf and had been looking for a vacation home to call our own close to the ocean when we stumbled upon this gem. We had been travelling to Port Renfrew to surf and vacation for many years and after starting a family wanted a place for our girls to spend summers and make memories at. With limited cell service this is a perfect place to relax, slow done, and enjoy being surround by the beauty of Port Renfrew. We hope you enjoy it here as much as we do!
What makes this property unique
Port Renfrew, British Columbia is a small community on the southern tip of the West Coast of Vancouver Island. It is quite similar to Tofino, however, it is only an approximate one and a half hour drive west of Victoria, north of the fast growing community of Sooke. Long a forestry and commercial fishing hub, the town has transitioned to being a centre for outdoor recreation including sports fishing, hiking, old growth forest tourism and eco-tourism. It is most famous as the trail head for both the West Coast Trail, and the Juan de Fuca Trail, as well as, for being home to some of the best salt water salmon and halibut fishing on Southern Vancouver Island. Hundreds of fishermen and outdoor enthusiasts descend on the town every summer from local communities, Alberta and the United States and Europe.
Port Renfrew is a seaside community centered around the local wharf, and provides visitors and residents with a relaxed, personable atmosphere as only a small village can create. Several major changes have put Port Renfrew on the map in recent years. The most significant development is the completion of the $25+ million dollar, Pacific Marine Circle Route along with more recent road upgrades connecting Port Renfrew to eastern and northern Vancouver Island with a new paved highway. The completion of the circle route in 2009 has brought increased traffic and exposure to the region from areas such as Duncan and Nanaimo where transit time is now 1.5 to 2 hours.
This temperate coastal rainforest community is dominated by old growth spruce, hemlock and cedar. Captioned as Canada's Tall Tree Capital Port Renfrew is host to some of the tallest and largest trees in Canada which are known to be on or in the vicinity of the West Coast Trail. Sombrio is a fantastic place to surf and is conveniently located an easy 15 minute drive away.
