The host was very accommodating for our 2-day strategic planning session, the kind note and snacks left for our check-in was a great unexpected touch. The space provided the right atmosphere for thoughtful discussions and offered a cozy place to relax when the day wrapped up. Initially, I thought the parking might be an issue, but there was enough space to fit all of the vehicles. My one note of feedback would be to have a few extra pieces of seasoned/dry firewood to help the woodstove get going. All in all a great experience and venue, everyone was impressed by the amenities.

Amazing place

The property is a beautiful setting for relaxation and just peace. We didn’t want to leave the house ! The open area downstairs space is just right for having quiet conversations and just simply being together. The beach is minutes away and we didn’t have to worry about the traffic that went that. The area is quiet with very little traffic. Thank you !!

Spring Break Getaway 2025!

The house was ready for check in a couple hours early! Management was easy to text and communicate with for any questions. We enjoyed baking in the kitchen and using the wood burning fireplace in the living room. The shops, restaurants, and beaches are only a few minutes drive away. It’s a lovely area and the house is clean and comfortable! We would stay here again. :)

Stunning home, walking distance to Chesterman (our fav beach!)

The house is BEAUTIFUL. There was an amazing CD collection (creating much awe with my children!) and a great library. The property was private and very quiet. It's about a 1 km walk to Chesterman Beach. Great open concept and a well-stocked kitchen. We were very comfortable - it was hard to leave!

A Treasure in Tofino

We had a great 3 night stay at Jensen's Bay Getaway. The home was modern and spacious with lots of windows. Though there is no water access, it is a wonderful place to relax and refresh. The beds were very comfy and there is an amazing collection of CDS and books to chill with. With the wood fire place, it would make a great spot to come storm watching. It is an easy walk to Chesterman beach and a 4 min drive to MacKenzie Beach. The bike trail is very handy. A return visit is definitely in the cards.
