***On-Site Caretaker Suite – Tofino Bylaw: Please note that, in accordance with Tofino Bylaws for licensed vacation rentals, a long-term tenant resides on the property in a separate caretaker suite. This requirement helps support the local community by ensuring that long-term housing remains available for people who live and work in Tofino. Guests have full and private access to the entire vacation rental they have booked. The only shared area is the driveway/parking area. The caretaker has their own separate living space, so guests can still enjoy the privacy and comfort of the vacation rental throughout their stay.

Beautiful bay view and great accommodation!

Enjoyed the great water view and hot tub. The home is well stocked and plenty of room for the 6 adults in our party. Love the location as within minutes of Chesterman beach and a small drive to Tofino or long beach. A wonderful stay and would highly recommend booking. The hosts are friendly and communicate well. You will be well looked after!

Best place to stay!

If I could give more stars, I would. From booking to changing our booking to just before leaving to during and after our stay the communication was prompt, clear, and very nice. The bedrooms were all comfortable, bathrooms were very clean with bonus lovely smelling soap/shampoo/conditioner. Kitchen was very well-equipped (fridge was an excellent size). Living room is spacious with lots of room to hang out. Location is easy to find. Walking distance to a few beaches. Definitely recommending to all my friends.
