"It exists: that private waterfront cabin with front-row views of the crashing Pacific, crackling fireplaces, and nary another tourist in sight\u2014for less than $200 a night. So why haven\u2019t you heard much about Point No Point before? Perhaps because it\u2019s on Vancouver Island and Canadians have somehow learned to keep these sorts of special places a secret. The decidedly un-resort escape is the best of both worlds\u2014seemingly on the edge of civilization and yet still accessible, just 40 miles west of Victoria. Point No Point\u2019s 25 simple log cabins were built on a cliff, some in the 1950s, but there have been gradual improvements over the decades, such as new two-person showers and, most recently, a hot tub on almost every wooden deck. Shaker-style furniture, bright red Adirondack chairs, and warm cedar walls give the cabins a timeless feel, as does the winding country road, which you can follow from rugged beach to beach, back to your own empty stretch of sand, complete with a covered firepit to keep you warm. When it\u2019s time for dinner, you can continue up the path to the intimate on-site restaurant. One of Vancouver Island\u2019s best, it has walled-in windows so you can scan for otters, whales, and dolphins (binoculars are on every table) over locally caught salmon and seared scallops. It\u2019s the kind of place that fosters loyalty, says Sharon Soderberg, who\u2019s owned Point No Point with her husband, Stuart, for 32 years. \u201CWe\u2019ve watched children grow up here,\u201D she says, \u201Cwho now come back with their own.\u201D\n\n&nbsp;\n\nBest time to go: July through September for sunbathing on the beach and your best chance of spotting humpback whales; you can see orcas and gray whales year-round.\n\n$$;&nbsp;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
