A perfect work retreat
This was a perfect accommodation for our group. Beautiful house with all the amenities and comforts for a perfect stay. Centrally located for easy access to all the area has to offer
Overall very much enjoyed the location. Hot tub was located in a remote space at the back of the the unit so did not use it. Not sure if the structure could support it but it would be better on the upper deck near the master bedroom. The beach was so close and great for exploring the immediate area. Kitchen was well supplied from a pots and pans and dishes prespective but limited in leftover spices, vinegars, etc from previous visitors, I understand that may be intentional. I would recommend this location but give a heads up on what you may need to buy in small quanities before you drive in. Koodos to the staff they were all great to work with and very attentive.

Thanks for the review, and we’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the place. Yes, we only supply salt, pepper, oil, saran wrap, tinfoil, and propane for the BBQ. If guests leave behind spices, they may be available, but this is not always guaranteed.
I appreciate the review, and we hope to host you again!
We had an amazing stay! Everything was as listed in the ad. The home was spotlessly clean, the property was immaculate. Hot tub was amazing. Communication was excellent with our host, she went beyond to ensure our comfort- thoughtful greeting card and check in texts. We were surprised at just how close we were to the beach- anticipating it to be a little farther of a walk. We were equally as surprised at just how much sun hits the GEORGOUS deck!! The kids loved the soccer ball- another lovely surprise. Overall it was a spectacular experience- our only complaint was that we had to leave! We hope to be back soon. Thank you!

Perfect location, close to beach , very clean and beautiful!
We had a wonderful stay. A short trail to the beach and close toPacific Sands resort where they have a great little outdoor restaurant with burgers and tacos and fire pits. Will definitely consider staying here again.
Great location and access to the wonderful beach.
House layout was great for the 6 of us.
Short distance to Tofino and found a couple of great eating places.
Would come back to this property in a moment!

Cox Bay Retreat
House was just as described and communication was great with Danielle. Walk to the beach was much shorter than we anticipated, which was a pleasant surprise having a 4 and 8 year old. We appreciated the wagon supplied to cart our items back and forth. Would have liked to have a table to dine at inside, but other than that it was a lovely stay.
What a great home and perfect location! We had such a great time exploring Cox Bay, Tofino and Pacific Rim Park. So many great beaches, hikes and fabulous things to do! I will be back to explore again.

Overall a great stay
The only problem was we had difficulty finding the house when we first got there as it is quite hidden and not obvious, but other than that it was great. We had a great time hiking to the beach!

Thank you for your review Marie-Eve! We are so pleased you enjoyed the house! We are sorry you had troubles finding the home and we were happy to assist you over the phone. There is a sign on the highway and once you turn in for the property, but we will take a look at our directions to ensure they are clear. Thanks again!
