Beautiful property right in the heart of Tofino. With a commercial kitchen and spacious bedrooms it felt like a home away from home. We stargazed in the hot tub at night and had the best sleep in the most comfortable beds provided. 10/10 would stay here again.

Relaxing in Tofino

The area was beautiful and we especially loved watching the tides come and go in the rear of the property. The beds and pillows were excellent. The toilet on the first floor needed some tightening and another TV would have been appreciated.

The place was amazing. All as pictured. But it was advertised as though it was a house when in fact in was a duplex with owners on the attached side.

The perfect place after a day in and around Tofino

Amazing property for our family of six. The kitchen is large with an excellent layout for cooking and visiting, and has all the supplies you could need. The rest of the house is beautifully done. The bedrooms are large and all of the beds were very comfortable. The outside is quiet and private, with several sitting areas. The kids loved the hot tub after a day at the ocean.

Jensen's Bay

A great stay for 3 couples and a baby, 2 poodles. Lots of room for everyone. 3 bathrooms means no one intrudes on anyone else. Comfortable beds, lots of towels. Hot tub much appreciated. The main open floor plan offers both a level of privacy and inclusion so that one can join the rabble or quietly read, meditate or day dream. 2 comfortable sectional seating areas. The kitchen is fully equipped and I suspect rescued from a restaurant (stove and sink) with sufficient counter space. For you coffee freaks there's automatic drip, French press and stove top espresso. The electricity went out for 6hr due to a MVA on the hwy thus the fully charged flashlights and lantern were much appreciated. A 10 minute walk to Chesterman Beach. 8 minute drive into Tofino. You MUST try the donuts at Rhino Coffee. This VRBO is everything it claims to be. I highly recommend it and will stay again if I need accommodation for 6.
