Aloha, Brah's, Wahine's and all those in betweeny's! The Rad Shack is a most excellent west coast cabana. Surrounded by incredible forests, spend your day surfing, exploring the Juan de Fuca trails, hiking along the local beaches or just chillin in The Rad Shack. We are within walking distance of Jordan River and China Beach. The immediate environment is a beautiful, lush, west coast forest with a creek, a froggy habited lagoon, and all kinds of birds, raccoons, salamanders, and bears, oh my!Aloha, Brahs, Wahines and those in between-y's! Welcome to The Rad Shack, your gnarly hideaway in the heart of Mother Nature's most epic playground. If you're lookin' to ride the ultimate wave of relaxation and adventure, this is where it's at. Situated in the middle of a lush, most-excellent forest, imagine waking up to the sound of the waves crashin' in the distance, as you take in the sweet scent of saltwater and cedar. This ain't your average shack, this is a slice of Westcoast heaven! The space Inside there's an awesome wood fireplace, cozy nook with forest views and comfy loft for catching some winks. There's a trail to the ocean, 15 minutes and you're on the beach, no traffic jams! A word to the wise, tread carefully, the trail can get gnarly when it’s wet out, no one's got time for tweakin' ankles, Barney! Pack some solid footwear and a headlamp! Out back of the Shack is your private outdoor shower and toilet. In the front is your covered cedar awning to hang your wetsuit from those atmospheric rivers, and enclosed patio and fireplace for chill fires at night. The area is sandwiched between a totally sweet driftwood fence and a most excellent forest. So, if you're lookin' to live the Salish Coast dream, don't miss out on a chance to stay at The Rad Shack. Whether you're into surfing, hiking, or just plain chillin', this tiny home is the ultimate spot for a totally tubular getaway. Book now, brah, and get ready to ride the wave of a lifetime! Guest access The Rad Shack zone is all to yourselves. Once you leave the Rad zone, you’ll be on a communcal property and may run into other homies. Throw some high fives, no bogus vibes at The Rad Shack, kook! Other things to note Although you have your own private zone, The Rad Shack is part of a communal property. The trail system is shared down to the beach. High five's around, no localism on the trails, Kook! $50 fee for dogs. (No cat please) Smok'em if you got'em, outside Barney! Pick up your butts, please.

With pets

This place is pure magic. It's like a little oasis built by wood elves. My friend and I, and both our dogs, loved our stay, especially the easy path down to the beach and the comfy seats at the table for lounging and reading.

Adventure awaits!

What an amazing way to see the island!! Just like a local… access to the beach via a hidden trail… empty ocean spaces and amazing personal touches! Definitely an adventure to stay here!

Pros and Cons

My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our stay at the Rad Shack. Here are some of the pros and cons we would like to share about our stay. Our main concern was the privacy; no blinds or curtains. Considering that the front gate has no lock and you can see the neighbours from the bed bunk, curtains or blinds would have been greatly appreciated. A redeeming quality would be how thoughtfully the space was decorated such as the patio area, fairy lights all around, books, games and the overall feeling of cozy the Rad Shack gave. Despite the coziness some unwanted guests came to join us, (massive ants) The Rad Shack was well equipped with both a wood burning and gas stove, pots and pans, glass and dish-ware, mini fridge, as-well as salt, pepper and oil! Lastly, one of the most overlooked but important feature to this stay would be a flushable toilet (no pit toilet). as well as an outdoor shower, however the flow of the hot water was decently limb. Overall our stay was cute and comfortable, but unfortunately my boyfriend and I both agree that our expectations did not match the price that we paid.

Perfect for getaway

This is the cutest cabin I have ever stayed! Perfect for couple to getaway and just chill. You can see the stars through the window on the roof, they were so bright and beautiful. Overall, it was a lovely stay.

This was the perfect get away. The isolation, the mood, the soft lighting, being surrounded by nature, the cozy bed with the skylight to watch the stars, the list goes on and on. Highly highly recommend!

Absolutely fantastic experience! This little cabin is the quaintest, coziest, forest getaway! Wonderful and welcoming hosts! A fun trail right from the property leading straight down to the beach! I cannot recommend the Rad Shack enough!
