About this property

South Swell Tofino formerly Blue Heron Waterfront home amid old growth cedars

South Swell (formerly Blue Heron Guest House) is a 3 bedroom custom built home overlooking Jensen's Bay in Tofino. Exceptional wood detailing, skylights, vaulted ceilings, private hot tub, outdoor hot water shower and gas fireplace.
Deck off main living area with propane BBQ.

An inlet waterfront retreat situated on 1.5 acres and an easy, 5 minute walk from South Chesterman Beach.

A seating area at water's edge is a great place enjoy a quiet cup of coffee in the early morning and a perfect vantage point for sighting eagles, herons and other bird species. Occasionally you may spot a bear foraging across the tidal flats.

Guest House includes a well stocked kitchen and pantry offering a wide variety of oils/vinegars & spices. Drip coffee maker (coffee and filters supplied), French press and espresso machine with beans grinder available.

Towering cedars complement the property. Nearby Chesterman Beach is ideal for surfing, exploring, beach combing, dog walks or an early evening stroll to take in the iconic West Coast sunsets.

Tofino is 5km away and accessed by road or a well maintained, paved, multi-use path. The path connects Tofino and the town of Ucluelet and provides ready access to beaches and Pacific Rim National Park.

Just up the road (1184 Pacific Rim Hwy) is a collection of shops for groceries, yoga, surf rentals, great local food (Wildside Grill & Tacofino), coffee/espresso/baked goods (The Tofitian) and chocolate .....Tofino style.

The town of Tofino is a short drive (5 km) so a car would be ideal. In summer, a free (and surfboard friendly!) shuttle service runs between Tofino and Cox Bay. You can hop on and off at several points along the route, including 2 stops close by.

This rental is perfect for a quiet retreat or family vacation - ideally suited for 4-6 guests.

In compliance with all current District and Provincial regulations.
