Excellent Home and Location

As a family of seniors, parents and two children this place was absolutely perfect. From its location to the local beaches, to the amenities provided in house and the view of the inlet, it was relaxing, comfortable, easy to access and a joy to stay after a long day of exploring. We absolutely adored it and would love to stay here again!

Super süße Unterkunft

Wir haben zwei tolle Tage im Fishertale Cottage verbracht. Das Haus ist mit viel Liebe eingerichtet und man findet wirklich alles, was man benötigt. Auch auf der Terrasse konnten wir toll sitzen und die Aussicht genießen. Spiele Bücher und eine Wii haben uns die Stunden gut vertrieben. Wir würden die Unterkunft auf jeden Fall immer wieder buchen.

Peaceful and in nature

Me and my family had a great time for our December stay at Fishtales cottage! The property had all the utensils needed for us to do home cooking (coffee, popcorn, toast and even a pancake pan!) especially for Christmas dinner. It was so quiet with beautiful views of the bay each morning and is situated close to botanical bay, Avatar grove (big cedars and for trees) and a number of nature trails and beaches. The property is very dog friendly (dog bowls were even left in a draw to use)our dog had a great time going on long walks each day and enjoyed the space of the upstairs. The owner was always there to answer any questions or concerns I had via email, she even left us a box of chocolates for our arrival. I would highly recommend to nature lovers, people looking for some family time, dog owners and anyone looking for a relaxing break from work.

This lovely home is welcoming and respectfully calms you as soon as you enter. From the owner, Denise, to the ocean view, and overall additional comforts in exceptional sleeping accommodations and more than enough thoughtful kitchen tools that allows you to leave all your concerns behind you. After vacationing for 2 years on the island and this being the sixth place we have rented, is the only 5 star residence that I would fully agree that has it all in every way. Thank you greatly Denise in your thoughtful presentation for those that stay at this beautiful home.

Paradise in an oceanview cottage

This has been one of our best family vacations! The home is so beautiful and location is perfect for going to the many beaches. We went to Avatar grove, Botanical beach (several times), Botany Bay, Lizzard lake, Fairy Lake and Sombrio beach. The deck on the cabin is perfect for late afternoon sun and just watching the ocean. So many beautiful little touches in this cottage. A fully equipped kitchen too. Kingsize mattress was crazy comfortable! Our boys had fun in the downstairs tv room playing on the Wii. Thank you Denise for being such an amazing host! Looking forward to coming back.

Very cozy and home-like.

We enjoyed our stay here. It was a cozy home with plenty of space for the three of us and our dog. Very convenient location for hikes and beach access. I gave it 4 stars because many of the dishes were dirty when we pulled them out to use.

One of best spots to stay in Renfrew. Will stay again

Property was great. Unit well equipped and very comfortable. Normally temperature for shower would have been fine, but we were outside in rain and snow all day during a cold snap so could have used hotter water temperature for shower. One of best spots to stay in Port Renfrew. Will stay again
