Located next to the downtown core, stunning waterfront view, steps to all amenities, shopping & restaurants. Community and environment friendly accommodations, using all natural materials in the recent renovation and donating 1% to the local Tla-o-qui-aht Nation's Tribal Parks Allies program.

Tofino Eco Condo has been designed with the environmental footprint in mind. At 500 square feet, it's a spacious bachelor suite full kitchen, bath, living and dining area. Where possible, items have been thrifted or found second hand so as to deter from first hand purchasing. Linens are new, recycled microfibre. The propane fireplace has been capped off so we're not using fossil fuels. Coffee is purchased from a local roasters. The hand and dish soap is locally made by Tamara at the Hobbyist. Warren has purposefully made a few design + staging choices. Compost, biodegradable garbage liners, eclectic mix of second hand dishware. We hope this adds to your stay!

MAX OCCUPANCY: 2 people

The large screen TV has Telus cable but no Netflix app; bring your HDMI cord to set up!

A cozy balcony with two locally made salvaged cedar Adirondack chairs is available for cozy morning coffee's or late evening drinks & sunsets. The couch pulls out to a queen bed for additional sleeping options.

LAUNDRY
There is a card operated Laundry Room located on the second floor. Unscented Nellie's laundry detergent is used.

PARKING
There is one designated parking spot for the condo.

The condo is pet friendly with one dog maximum at 30 pounds or less, with a $50 cleaning fee. Please advise when booking if you are bringing your pup. It's a great town to explore with beaches and trails.

The Fred Tibbs Building Waterfront Condos is located in the heart of Tofino looking over First Street Dock, where guests have access to a Kayak launch, picnic area and dock. This amazing property features beautiful views of the Ocean Inlet harbour and surrounding mountain range.

The condo is self check in and set up for your independent stay. If you have any questions, Blue Crush is available during business hours.

The Fred Tibbs condo complex is perfectly situated in town and on the waterfront. This allows you to stay parked and stroll through the downtown core of Tofino car free. At the base of the complex is a great little shop called Savary Island Pies which is convenient for morning coffees and snacks.

From Vancouver, the first chapter of your drive is to Horseshoe Bay Ferry Terminal. Enjoy the vista views of the ocean before taking the 1.5 hour ferry trip over to Departure Bay Terminal in Nanaimo.

From the sea side city of Nanaimo, take the quick Inland Highway or scenic Old Island highway, along the coast and its small towns, to the turn off for Port Alberni. Drive through Coombs (Goats on a Roof) and Cathedral Forest Provincial Park. Port Alberni resides at the end of a western fjord with many tourist attractions. This is a great location to pick up gas and groceries.

The last chapter of your drive to Tofino will take you on a scenic winding road past Sproat Lake, and Mackenzie lake. Take a right once you get to the Junction for Ucluelet and Tofino, and tune in to Tofino's local radio station. This wending road takes you through Long Beach Provincial park, into the heart of Tofino.

TRANSPORTATION
To get to Tofino from the mainland, you need to take a ferry to Nanaimo (closest) or Victoria. From there, it's a scenic drive. Anywhere from 3 (Nanaimo) to 5 hours (Victoria). You can also fly into the airport with Pacific Coastal Airlines (the flight is stunning and so quick!) or seasonally, take a float plane from the Vancouver harbour downtown to Tofino harbour downtown.

There is a designated pedestrian path we call the MUP (multi use path) which is safe and has two lanes for walkers, bikers, joggers, strollers - you name it!. We encourage you to use it; it's one of the things that makes Tofino unique. The free Shuttle bus runs during the summer months from town to the info centre. There is a city transit service that runs from Tofino to Ucluelet with limited service. There are a couple bike rentals (pedal bike and e-bike). There is also a local rideshare app called Coastal Rides, our version of Uber (download their app). Tofino Taxi is another option (though only one driver/car). For larger groups, there is Tiki Bus + Pacific Rim Navigators that needs to be pre arranged. There is a Budget Rental car service at the Tofino Airport (also needs to be pre-arranged).

Cozy rental in wonderful location

We stayed three nights in this amazing location - neighbouring the pie shop (which also has great coffee!). Overlooking the ocean, you can watch the harbour boat and kayak traffic as well as spot eagles and otters. The space is clean and comfortable - we will be back!

An Amazing Get-a-Way!

We loved everything about this Waterfront condo. Erika was a very conscientious host and the accommodations were everything we needed and more! We enjoyed sitting on the deck and watching the boats and sea planes come and go. Also we loved the proximity to the shops and restaurants in Tofino which were only a few minutes stroll away. We totally enjoyed our stay and will recommend this vacation spot to our friends and family.

Nice spot, not really a quiet spot

Nice location for a short walk to downtown and some fantastic restaurants. We spent most of our time out of the condo; however, when we were there I would have enjoyed more peace and quiet (I found that you could really hear the suite above and the music/bustle from the cafe below).

This tidy condo has a lovely view of the Tofino harbour and is close to downtown. We commend the host for her timely and helpful communications and her commitment to recycling and composting. One comment we have is that the bed is somewhat uncomfortable and the pillows are quite hard.

Why they chose this property

The Fred Tibbs building is perfectly located downtown and on the water. We love walking from the condo just a couple blocks to the best restaurants in town , shops and galleries. The sunset from the dock or the condo itself is epic. If you are a kayaker, you can launch from the unit.

What makes this property unique

The location makes the Fred Tibbs building unique. The rooms are larger than a standard hotel and offer a full kitchen and private bathroom and on top of that, there is shared laundry facilities available.
