About

Find your
wild coast

Escape to Rachael's Retreat — a charming one-bedroom cedar cabin in the peaceful Wild Coast Cabins in Port Renfrew. Wake up in the rainforest with adventure on your doorstep. Spend your days hiking rugged trails or exploring wild beaches (Sombrio Beach 20 minutes away, Botanical Beach trailhead 8 minutes), then return to unwind by the fire pit under starlit skies. The village pub, cafés, and marina are an easy walk away — everything you need is close.

The space

After a day of salt air and forest paths, step inside to the welcoming warmth of the cast-iron wood stove or enjoy a soothing soak in the bathtub. The efficiently designed kitchen makes home-cooked meals simple, the queen bedroom offers cozy comfort, and the memory-foam queen sofa bed in the living room sleeps two more. WiFi and board games keep things relaxed on rainy West Coast days.

Guest access

The entire cabin is yours — no shared spaces. That includes the covered outdoor patio, fire pit with firewood provided, and parking for two cars on the property (overflow available 100m down Baird Road). You're part of Wild Coast Cottages — a peaceful community of private cabins — where the relaxed, neighbourly atmosphere is part of what makes it special.

Other things to note

Part of the magic of Port Renfrew is how far off the grid it feels — cell reception is spotty for most carriers (Rogers works; others may not), so we recommend saving your check-in instructions and directions before heading out.

Stock up on groceries before the drive, as the local Food Market is small but handy for top-ups.

Firewood for both the fire pit and wood stove is provided — so you're all set to get cozy from the moment you arrive.

Rachael's Retreat is fully registered and meets all provincial and local regulations for short-term rentals in Port Renfrew. Your booking is secure. Registration number: H854043422.

Your hosts

Rachael & Tim

We are Rachael and Tim, owners of Cabin 11 at Wild Coast Cottages since 2019. Having surfed and explored the Port Renfrew area for years, we have a deep appreciation for this rugged coastline and the community here.

As hands-on owners, we manage the cabin ourselves with the support of a dedicated local cleaning team. When we aren't hosting, we're often here with our two young children, enjoying the same beaches and trails we recommend to our guests.

We take pride in providing a seamless, personal experience. If you have any questions during your stay or need a local recommendation, please don't hesitate to reach out.
