An Oceanfront Cottage with Stunning Views and Direct Beach Access

Completely renovated in 2018, this oceanfront log cottage with wraparound deck, large windows, separate viewing platform and pebble beach access oozes seaside charm. Relax by the wood burning fireplace, prepare fresh meals in the new open-concept kitchen (all stainless-steel appliances including dishwasher, quartz countertops and porcelain apron-front sink). Serve up to six at the dining table which features views of the ocean in two directions. Go to sleep in fresh new beds and linens with the soothing sound of the surf. The master bedroom has a queen bed; the loft can be set up as either a king bed or two 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 and games or working on your laptop.

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 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.

Note also that there are security cameras on the exterior of the Cottage to allow for investigation of any large property burglaries but there are NO interior cameras and recordings are only viewed in the case of a break-in/burglary.
You must notify us in advance if guests other than those listed on the booking will be joining you (maximum of 4 adults).
NOTE - we are sorry but we cannot offer exceptions to the no pets policy - we have family members and regular guests with severe allergies

Our stay at Wren Cottage was the cherry on top of our lovely vacation. We enjoyed our nights of cribbage by the fireplace and waking up to the breathtaking ocean view. Many slugs were studied by our children, and we were able to appreciate the ocean wildlife from the observation deck. This will be a very fond memory for us to cherish for years to come! Thank you so much for sharing your home with us.

Very cute cabin with stunning ocean views!

We loved Wren Cottage! It is very inviting and well laid out. The kitchen is well stocked and the views are spectacular! It is situated closer to the road than we had imagined, but we couldn't hear any traffic noise inside the cabin. Great location for exploring beaches, and the perfect spot for a get-away!

Amazing weekend we needed

We could not of asked for a better stay. It was quiet and clean. Views were amazing. We didn’t see any whales but I am sure they pass by. A propane fire pit/heater for the deck would have been a great addition but we sat indoors when the chill settled in for the evening. We would 100% book again if in the area.

Perfect tranquility

We fell in love this this location right away and knew a week was not going to be long enough. Such a cute, clean house. Just the right amout of cozy with just enough modern touches to make your stay super comfortable. We drank coffee on the deck over the beach each morning and spotted wales, sea lions and a large troop of sea otters. The private beach area a so nice and a great place to relax in the afternoons. We can't wait to visit again.

Pride of ownership shows

Sweet, well-equipped cottage with comfy bed and great bathtub. Property is nestled in the trees and offers water and mountain views. It's apparent the owners love their vacation home. If you don't like peace and quiet, this spot is not for you.

Amazing Oceanside Cottage

The location of Wren Point cottage is unparalleled and the home beautifully kept. The decor is a wonderful mix of history and west coast art resulting in a comfortable, homey experience. The platform overlooking the ocean offers an amazing view providing the perfect setting for morning coffee or evening glass of wine. The binoculars provided where great and allowed us to watch some whales from the deck. Would highly recommend the property and can’t wait to visit again!

Beautiful property, idyllic setting

The Cottage at Wren Point is a wonderful retreat. A beautifully presented cottage with just the right mix of modern convenience while still maintaining its rustic charm. That is if you can drag your eyes from its surroundings long enough to admire it. The owners have left nothing amiss. Perfect in every way. We have enjoyed ourselves and with luck, we'll return.

Absolutely Lovely!

We had the coziest weekend in this little cottage; the space was charming and welcoming, the kitchen spacious and well stocked, and the property was so quiet and relaxing. Curling up by the fire and being able to hear the waves crashing was an absolute highlight. Carol was also so lovely and accommodating, though we really didn't have any questions or concerns while there! It was the perfect spot for a family weekend away, and we wish it could have lasted longer! Will definitely be revisiting this place!

Bliss on the bluff…

We spent a blissful few days at Wren Cottage in early November. The cottage itself was cozy with wonderful views out across the water. The upstairs loft bedroom was especially enticing given its views over the water. Despite the stormy weather, we spent hours watching the light change on the waves while relaxing in front of a roaring fire. We used the cottage as a base to discover all of Sooke’s offerings as well as those of the more western coast up past Port Renfrew. We will definitely make our way back to Wren Cottage….

Piece of Heaven

This charming cottage is a piece of Heaven! If you are looking for a quiet beautiful place to recharge your batteries, you can find it at Wren point cottage. We loved our cozy breakfasts with stunning views of the ocean, hummingbirds, wrens, explored the shore. The cottage was well equipped with everything we needed, the host Carol was very quick to respond and made us feel welcomed. This was a family trip for my husband’s 55th Birthday. The cottage is approximately 40 min drive to Victoria or a short drive to east Sooke coast trail or pothole hike. We enjoyed great seafood nearby in Sooke or area, then cozy nights by the fire. We wish we could have stayed longer!

So so great

This was one of, if not the best VRBO properties we’ve ever stayed at. The location was a dream. The steps to the beach are steep, but my 8 and 10 yr old had no problem with them. I expected the beach to be all rocks, but there was sand at low tide and cool tide pool animals to explore. Of all the beaches we visited on this trip, the one associated with the house was a favorite for everyone. The house itself is also great. It was super clean, well stocked with kitchen wares, and the wood stove was a delight each evening. We’re a family of four, and we were perfectly comfortable in the space. There’s a drawer of board games that were a huge hit too. We will 100% be back to this place. What a gem.
