Great location and lots of space inside and out. Walking distance to the bike rental place which was very convenient and close to all the beaches as well.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! Glad to hear you enjoyed the home and your time here. Would be happy to welcome you again in the future!
A well-located cozy cottage near a few beaches, a short drive or bike ride away from Tofino and not to far from Pacific Rim National Park. There's even a coffee shop, Tofitian café, a few minutes walk away!
It was a perfect place to call home while we explored the many trails, beaches and even Ucluelet for a day.
We would definitely stay here again when we make our way back to Tofino.

Very well maintained house, perfectly situated to Tofino amenities.
Very comfortable house with nice landscaping and surrounding natural area to include Townsend's Warbler, Western Flycatcher and Swainson's Warbler. They key to this property is close proximity to Chesterman Beach, the commercial complex featuring Tofitiab Coffee, Tofino Chocolate (gelato!), bike rentals and Tacofino. Nowhere better to be!
Your quick and personal email responses were fantastic and much better than other corporate rental companies that frustrate, rather than help.
