Halibut Hideaway - New Oceanfront cottage

Come enjoy the Halibut Hideaway, this high bank waterfront condo with amazing ocean views. Our new cottage is the perfect spot for a friend and family getaway. Many amenities will help you enjoy your time here, like a fire table to enjoy the views, BBQ, free wifi and cable.

The space

- WHAT PEOPLE LOVE –

We have tried to think of everything you will need to relax while you’re on vacation, including:

- Oceanfront unit overlooking the ocean and marina.
- New luxury unit with new and beautiful furnishings.
- Remarkable views of the ocean from a large deck with plenty of seating.
- Open concept floor plan that is great for groups and families.
- Short walk down to the beach, marina and restaurants.
- A fire table and BBQ to enjoy the ocean setting.
- Parking connected directly to the home.


You will also find many conveniences of home:

- Fully stocked kitchen
- Wifi and cable
- Washer/Dryer



Here’s what you may not love:

- If you are lucky to be in Port Renfrew during a storm, you may experience a power outage, but we have equipped the home to help maintain a good experience such as candles, propane stove, fire table and BBQ. 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. It's sometimes possible to be able to connect to an American network in the right areas.
- Since our unit is located in a fourplex, you may hear some minor noise from the guests above as would be typical of a condo unit.


- HOME DETAILS AND AMENITIES -

This rental easily has enough room for two average size families with 800 square feet of living space. It is also well suited for anyone that has trouble with stairs as you can access the home from the parking lot directly.


KITCHEN: The new kitchen is well equipped with utensils, pots, pans, coffee maker, etc. along with all stainless steel appliances you will need for your vacation including a dishwasher.

LAUNDRY: There is also a stackable washer and dryer for your convenience.

BATHROOMS:
- Bathroom 1 – The main bathroom with tub, sink and toilet.
- Bathroom 2 – The ensuite bath to one bedroom with shower, sink and toilet.

PARKING: Easy access from your car with 1 spot in front of the home as well as additional visitor parking steps away on Baird Rd.


- AREA ATTRACTIONS –

THIS is the reason we chose this beautiful spot! The attractions are endless with Port Renfrew being the ultimate nature’s playground. Enjoy world renowned fishing with a fishing charter at the marina steps away from the home.
Numerous breathtaking beaches are 5-20 minutes away including Botanical Beach, and Sombrio.
Enjoy nature walks or hiking including the WEST COAST TRAIL, and Avatar Grove with Canada’s gnarliest tree and old growth forests.

Cozy Condo with a View
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.

Beautiful Place!
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!

Incredible view, excellent cottage!
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!

Beautiful view, brand new condo
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

Perfect island staycation
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!
