2nd stay at Fernwood

This property is amazing and Tofino Vr is great to deal with, close enough to walk or bike to town and only a short walk to the beach. The property is clean and perfect for family with kids or just for two. The hot tub is a bonus! 10/10 Thanks again and we look forward to our next trip!

Wonderful Tofino Stay!

We had a 2 night stay with 2 adults and 3 teens. The home was comfortably furnished and had all of the amenities we needed and more! We lived the 3 bedrooms and the beds and linens were very comfy! Having 2 bathrooms is a must with teens and they were very nice. The hot tub was an added bonus, especially after a day of surfing. The proximity to Chesterman Beach and a few restaurants and stores was also a big bonus! Would love to stay here again!

Great property

This is a great property. The only recommendation I would have is to have a railing for the outside steps. They are slippery when wet and my husband who is 77;fell. Also a grab bat in shower would be helpful. Otherwise this is excellent… It is hard to find accessible property here and my husband has Parkinson’s yet we still like to travel. I like how private the bedroom areas feel

Private and close to Chesterman Beach

Four of us stayed at this property, and it was perfect for us. It was only a block to what we think is one of the finest beaches, and there were a few restaurants, coffee shops and a small grocery within easy walking distance. The kitchen is large and the open plan very spacious. There is living room seating for five, and a hot tub that was large enough for the four of us. This property is not cheap, but is in line with typical prices charged at similar properties in the area. We would return for sure.

Perfect location and spacious home

We came up for a last minute trip and found this lovely home available for 4 nights. It easily accommodates 6 people, but for just the two of us it was perfect. We don’t surf, but this home is set up to handle surf boards, wetsuits etc, and has a large covered porch for leaving wet, sandy shoes. I really liked the set up of the home interior, it’s roomy and with a large kitchen, centre island and pull up stools and a dining room table, so plenty of variety to park oneself! It’s a nice, quiet residential area, but only a five minute walk to Chesterman Beach, and ten to coffee shops, a grocery, surf shop and food.

Tofino vacay

We rented Fernwood by the Sea as a family getaway. It was well furnished and any issues we had were immediately addressed. Loved the location. Walked to the Wikininnish Inn for lattes, walked to the beach with the kids, walked to Tofino chocolate for ice cream. Thanks for having us. Would definitely rent this place again.

Beautiful spot with everything we needed

Fernwood was perfect for our stay, housing 3 couples very confortably. The fully equipped kitchen was perfect for cooking for our large group, the hot tube was great and the living room was cozy. You can walk to the beach in 5 minutes through a quiet neighborhood and drive into Tofino in less than 10 minutes. I would absolutely stay here again.
