Leah is an excellent host, made the booking process easy and the check in/rules of the rental very clear.
The cottage is new, has an excellent view of the inlet, is beautifully appointed and well-stocked with most required amenities; we prepared our own meals for 2 days and had everything we needed.
As professional executives, we were looking for a place to get 'off the grid' for a couple of days to recharge, while still being able to stay slightly connected. We opted to pay a bit more for the accommodation with the expectation that we would have all the comforts required. There were a few things, however, that were disappointing for the price we paid. While the cottage is new, the development (i.e. Neighbouring structures on 3 sides) is still under construction, which began promptly and loudly at 7:30am each day. This made the 'recharge' part of our get away a bit impossible.
The water in the shower (which is large and lovely otherwise) only heated to a lukewarm temperature, making for a day that began with the chills.
Understanding that there is no cell service in Port Renfrew, the internet connection becomes much more important in the cottage. What's there is minimal; don't expect a robust internet connection (we also had to find and boot up the router when we arrived).
Given that this is a new rental in a new development, I would venture to guess that many of these bugs will be ironed out over time. But before you book, I would recommend reaching out to see if these issues have been addressed (in particular the construction) so you can assess whether the high price of this rental provides you the value you'd expect.
