Beautiful location, kitchen was very well equipped and use of a barbecue on the balcony along with a fire for the evenings was a lovely additional touch. Lorena was so helpful and friendly and the bed was extremely comfortable. We will definitely be staying here again in future!

There wasn't anything we didn't like. The only reason I didn't feel able to give a 10 was because the smoke detector in the bedroom was missing. The owner explained why it was temporarily unavailable and her explanation made perfect sense. My only concern would have been that if there had been an incident while we were staying there, in the absence of a working smoke detector, that could have been an issue. Fortunately, all went well.

A lovely cottage in a beautiful location. Very well equipped and comfortable. Lots of information was made available both beforehand and upon arrival. Super clean and lovely views. Very peaceful and quiet.

Loved everything about our stay at Tilbys! The cottage was like a home from home. It was absolutely spotless, the bed was comfortable, the kitchen was so well-equipped and the views from the lounge and the bedroom were stunning. We sat on the balcony in comfy loungers, bourbon in hand and watched a massive cloud of sea mist float above the water and light up as the setting sun shone through it - beautiful! The owners took care to leave extra towels, extra coffee and tea, extra laundry tabs and loads more besides which meant that we didn't have to. That meant we could just switch off and enjoy our break...bliss :) Location is great for a walk to the local pub/restaurant and a quick drive to more stunning scenery and walks including Botancial Beach.

The tap water had a very strong taste and wasn't really drinkable. It would have been good to know to purchase drinking water before hand. But, no big issue, the local shop had plenty.

Tilby's Rainbow Cottage is one of those Booking.YEAH moments where, you open the door and the place you actually booked is 10x better than the place you imagined you booked! The view throughout the entire cottage is spectacular. It is so peaceful and quiet, it's just the best place to unwind and take in the nature around you. The cottage was so clean and spacious and had everything we needed like an amazing kitchen with all the accessories, a BBQ and washer and dryer. We enjoyed breakfasts on the beautifully appointed balcony and I loved the thimble and huckleberries growing on the side of the property (added some colour to the breakfast bowl). Lorena's communications were so prompt and clear. As Port Renfrew is a fairly remote area, we were given plenty of instruction for a smooth check-in and ensuring we were stocked up on what we needed for the stay. I just wished we could have spent more time there! I would highly recommend and would definitely come back!

Not much not to like... the market in the area is not so well stocked, but that has nothing to do with the property itself. The cottage is perfect.

The cottage was absolutely perfect for a getaway to Port Renfrew and the Pacific Rim/Juan de Fuca area. We could walk to several eateries. The view from both rooms was beautiful. The unit has a full kitchen, washer/dryer, and parking pad. The smart TV was easy to operate. The wifi worked well. Communication about check-in was clear and contained the wifi info as well so we could use it as soon as we arrived. The host was incredibly easy to reach and went out of her way to help out with a couple questions.

A bit small for three adults. One had to sleep on the pullout couch. A two bedroom would have been better but none were available in the area. However, this cottage was very clean and well equipped and the location and view were exceptional.

It was a housekeeping cottage with a good kitchen so we made our own breakfasts. The view from the outside deck was great, overlooking the bay at Port Renfrew.

Amazing ocean views, very nicely furnished with nice appliances and fully stocked with everything you would need, the pictures don’t do the view justice,very quiet and nestled in between more lovely cabins! Very close to everything in Port Renfrew, my 2 little daughters absolutely loved the beaches and everything Port Renfrew has to offer! We will be back for sure!

Tilby's Rainbow cottage in Port Renfrew was incredible. So clean and comfortable, and a well stocked, functional kitchen. The water view is amazing and we used the bbq each night. Great spot for hiking in the Port Renfrew area. Short drive to Botanical Beach and Avatar Grove and Lonely Doug.

The only thing I’d change is better curtains to block out the sunlight in the long summer days for travelling with kids

It would have been great if pets could be allowed. Our golden would have loved it here, but the again I totally understand as there could be allergy concerns for other guests, etc.

Awesome place to stay, a must recommend and Lorena is an awesome host. We will be back for sure!

Nothing to dislike here!

The cottage absolutely lived up to the glowing reviews we'd read before booking. The view is wonderful and the cottage is truly spotless, comfortable and beautifully decorated. The kitchen is particularly lovely and superbly equipped. Lorena is a very friendly and welcoming host who replied promptly to emails before and during our stay. All in all, a lovely weekend in a stunning location with plenty of wonderful hiking nearby. On our way back to the cottage from Botanical Beach (and other hikes in Juan de Fuca Provincial Park), we parked by the roadside and walked the short trail marked "Mill Bay" which leads to a delightful private little bay with divine views. The local pub has great food and atmosphere ... but be sure to get there before the kitchen closes!

A lot of kitchen stuff - toaster, all kinds of pans, plates etc. You can cook whatever you want! And the outdoor grill is very nice. We liked the view of the water and island. The interior of the cottage is very nice. Will definitely come back again to this place.

Amazing views from living room, bedroom and kitchen. You can wake up looking at the the water, birds chirping, maybe even spotting an eagle sitting in the trees. Easy communication with the hosts via email. Wonderful kitchen with a lot of equipment, amazing barbecue with the best view.
