Views and Beach Access: The Cottage at Wren Point

Completely renovated in 2018, this oceanfront cottage with wraparound deck, large windows, viewing platform and pebble beach access oozes seaside charm. Relax by the wood burning fireplace, prepare fresh meals in the new open-concept kitchen (stainless-steel appliances including dishwasher, quartz countertops and porcelain sink) or on the BBQ outside. Serve up to 6 at the dining table with views of the ocean. Go to sleep in fresh new beds with the soothing sound of the surf. The space One bedroom has a queen bed; the loft can be set up as a king or 2 twins. Small children can sleep on a sofa in the loft or the main sofa in the living room. Ideal for two couples; two adults with two older children and/or two younger children. The all-new bathroom features a deep tub, subway tile and in-floor heating. The large loft includes a sofa and table for puzzles or games. Enjoy the sights and sounds of the ocean in the private one-acre garden. The view to the southwest is the Olympic Peninsula and mountains, Washington State. The view along the scalloped coast to the northwest is out to the open Pacific Ocean. Whales (grey, humpback, minke and orcas) can occasionally be spotted – migration is between March and October. Sea lions, harbour seals and otters will often rest/play on the rocks along the shoreline. Weasels/rabbits/raccoons and occasionally black bears and cougars will pass through the yard. Many birds such as eagles, osprey, jays, loons, robins, kingfishers, gulls and of course our namesake wrens, nest and feed on the property or nearby. The cottage is perfect as a romantic retreat or a nature lover’s getaway. We have hosted micro-weddings, elopements, honeymoons and anniversaries. It is a great home base for those wishing to hike the nearby Trails (West Coast and Juan de Fuca Trails), to explore the amazing beaches just a stone’s throw away, or to check-out the many attractions in Port Renfrew, Jordan River, Sooke and Victoria. There is a new automatic power back-up system to ensure your comfort during any disruption in power, as can occur on the Island from time to time.
