Cozy cabin, comfy bed, right on the water- the window down to the ocean is awesome for watching critters swimming around. Organizing rides to/from the houseboat was easy and efficient. Host was friendly and ensured I had everything need to be comfortable. Perfect spot to get away!

It was an amazing accommodation. Right on the ocean. We had a wonderful night. The host was amazing and lives close by which was comforting, not that it was necessary. Pick up and drop off went smoothly. The time there was serene!

Sweet, cozy stay

Pearl and Joel were lovely hosts and helped to provide an enjoyable stay. They were very accommodating and helpful. The only concerns we had were the different contacts and some of the processes weren’t fully communicated. Overall, it was a memorable stay and we would love to visit again!

Unique Rustic Experience

It is a little different to have a shuttle boat to ferry you back and forth but Pearl was always quick to respond. It is a rustic spot but very comfortable and cozy. We especially loved the port to watch the sea life. Thank you.

Fun location, friendly people

We had a two night stay. No complaints. We were a little worried that needing a ride back and forth would be annoying but the hosts were very responsive when we needed a ride. The views are as good as you can get. The window in the floor to view ocean life is a great touch.

The location of this stay was incredible, beds were comfy and host was friendly. Communication was good once we arrived but questions beforehand got a bit muddled. There is no free parking in tofino.The oven did not work. If you want to have more than one return trip to the island per day you have to pay extra. We used BBQ, looked at the stars and you could see the bioluminescent at night which was amazing We loved our stay in this basic but fantastically located accomadation.

Awesome experience

This was an awesome experience for coming to tofino for the first time. Pearl was very friendly and made sure our stay was enjoyable. We were able to get back and forth to the island safely with an enjoyable boat ride. The float home is super nice and has a fish hole you can check out the sealife. We are very pleased with our stay and hope to come out again.
