The three bedroom, two bathroom suite, large living room, dining room, with hand adzed beams, wood-burning fireplace, and sundeck create an ambiance not replicated in other Tofino homes.

The living area is spacious enough for games, the fireplace, and flat screen TV. The dining room table seats 6 comfortably. A large south facing sundeck wraps around the three bedrooms, overlooking Tonquin Beach. At the main entrance, there is a covered deck with barb-b-que.

The rooms were nice and well furnished. Noise level from above was often quite loud and disruptive. The towels were kindly laid out in the washroom and on the beds, however, the smell was unpleasant.The access to the beach is beautiful and the setting of the property is lovely.

This is perfect property for our family, right of top of two beaches for our son to spend time in & about the water. It's also a mere 10 minute walk to town, so no need for parking & paying for same when you just need a few things or want to grab a bite. Cathy & Steve are very hospitable hosts; the beds are comfy & kitchen well stocked. We'll be back!

Amazing stay

This property was a lovely experience from start to finish. The host, Cathy, is wonderful and has a wonderful list of recommendations for trails and food that we greatly enjoyed. As mentioned in the other reviews, the pocket beach and access to the tonquin beach trail are highlights and the space had everything we wanted for our family. We also loved the proximity to nearby trails between Tofino and Ucluelet. Highly recommend this property, thank you Cathy for making our trip so memorable by sharing your lovely space!

Fantastic Beach House

We stayed a few nights and really enjoyed our time here and in Tofino. Our hosts were very responsive and communicative. The house was very comfortable and taken care of. We loved the private access to the available beach portion and then explored more during low tide. We even took the opportunity to have a fire one of the mornings! The walk into town is not bad at all if you don’t want to look for parking. Would definitely come back!

About the host

Hosted by Cathy Thicke

Host profile image
We bought our house in 1989, and began doing Bed and Breakfast in Tofino in 1990, as one of only 5 homes to do so. In 1998 we converted the main floor of the large house into a private vacation rental suite, allowing guests to share our experience of living 'on the beach'. My husband works at the hospital in Tofino, as a physician, and I serve on the District of Tofino Council, Tonquin Trail Committee, and the Clayoquot Biosphere Trust.

Why they chose this property

We chose this property for its 1.3 acre south and west facing beachfront, and its proximity to town and the local hospital! It is a very unique property, with two beaches, hiking trail, great kayaking, 'supping' opportunities, whale watching, breath-taking sunsets, and the best low tide viewing on the Tofino coastline. You can even surf on Tonquin Beach in the winter! The sunsets here are sublime!

What makes this property unique

Beach walking and the new Tonquin Trail through old growth rainforest and sandy beaches, SUP-ing, kayaking, fishing from beach ( June to September ), whale watching from the beach in front, surfing, storm-watching, trampoline on property, and wonderful food- Tofino has many Canadian culinary delights ! ( Sobo, Tacofino and Shelter are our favourites!)
