Enjoy wild luxury in this beautiful pet friendly oceanfront rental with three bedroom, two bath, character-filled cottage with all the amenities of home.
The open concept upper level provides breathtaking oceanfront views from every angle. Prepare your meals in the fully equipped kitchen or on the propane BBQ overlooking the water. Enjoy meals family-style at the large wood dining table that seats six to eight.
After dinner, sit back and relax in the cozy and comfortable living room while you watch television, enjoy a movie on Netflix or simply get lost watching the flames of your very own propane fireplace. An assortment of card and board games, and books are available for a change of pace. A desk, phone and free wifi are available if you want to get in touch with the real world. A full bathroom is located on the upper floor.
On the lower level, there is another full bathroom, laundry and three bedrooms. From the two front bedrooms, you can take in the ocean views without having to get out of your queen-sized bed. Each of these rooms includes a walk-out to a covered slate patio. The third bedroom offers two twin beds for greater flexibility in sleeping arrangements.
Wickham's Wake has three outdoor living areas for you to enjoy. On the upper level, enjoy a wall to wall deck with a panoramic view of the inlet, trees and ocean, all from the comfort of the adirondack chairs provided. On the lower level, a covered slate patio is perfect for your morning coffee or afternoon read. Finally, walk down the cedar tree steps to the cliff-side lower patio, which offers unequalled views and a fire pit for a night time marshmallow roast under the stars. The lower two patios are accessible from stairs outside the cottage or through the two bedrooms on the lower level.
Five minutes of walking from the cottages will get you to the Pacific Gateway Marina if you're going fishing or you want to take in the sea air. Tomi's Home Cooking and The Coastal Kitchen Cafe are a five minute walk away if you get tired of your own cooking. The pub at the PortRenfrew Hotel is about a 15 minute walk.
You can get a few basic groceries at the Real Goods Market (open in season only) next to Tomi's dinner. A bigger selection of groceries including beer, wine and liquor can be bought at the General Store on Parkinson Road (open from 11am-7pm everyday). It's a good idea though to stock up on groceries on your way to Port Renfrew in Sooke or Cowichan Lake if you are travelling from the other direction. Of course everyone takes credit cards, debit cards and that ancient currency, cash.
