Great first stay on Vancouver Island

Comfortable house, beautiful view, and lovely little town. We had a great couple of days, enjoying nearby hikes at Botany Bay and Sombrío Beach and spotting sea lions off the dock by the pub. Spectacular stay!

Family Get Together

Very nice place to stay. Great views. Kitchen well stocked. Clean.Would have given 5 stars except for one thing which is a very individual preference so quite subjective. We found the mattresses very hard. We like a firm mattress but both beds have very firm mattress’.

I’m not sure you could find a cleaner nor more comfortable vrbo in Port Renfrew. In addition, the views are spectacular!!! If I am ever fortunate enough to visit Port Renfrew again, River Raven will be, without exception, my first choice in places to stay.
