Beachfront Tofino- For Families!

Lovely large private suite, family- friendly, private sandy beach 20 steps from the door! Floor to ceiling windows throughout giving panoramic views towards the open Pacific, Lennard Island Lighthouse and Tonquin Beach. The new Tonquin Trail begins at the end of Tonquin beach and leads through virgin rainforest, platform lookouts over Templar Channel and two more beautiful sandy beaches.The UNESCO Biosphere of Clayoquot Sound is at your doorstep. Discover the story behind the wreck of the Tonquin!
The three bedroom, two bathroom suite, large living room, dining room, with hand adzed beams, wood-burning fireplace, and sundeck create an ambiance not replicated in other Tofino homes. There is a king sized bed in the master bedroom with adjacent three piece en-suite, queen bedroom with completely new shower en-suite, and twin bedroom with extra long twin beds. The living area is spacious enough for games, the fireplace, and flat screen TV. The dining room table has space for 8 comfortably. A large south facing sundeck wraps around the three bedrooms, overlooking Tonquin Beach. At the main entrance, there is a small covered deck with large barb-b-que.
Following the steps down to the beach on a short trail, there is a beautiful pocket sandy beach, perfect for sunsets, outdoor beach games or a hot dog roast. A long beach walk can be enjoyed from the private beach to Tonquin Beach and beyond at low tide. Tonquin Beach is a hidden treasure, with cultural history, scenic coves, and a natural freshwater pool perfect for young children to enjoy. We also have a trampoline on the property that is available with supervision ! For those interested in fishing, you can fish right off the rocks in front of the house at high tide !
If you prefer, you can walk the 1 km. road into town to enjoy an evening meal or go shopping.
We have boogy boards available to borrow at no extra cost! Enjoy the simple Tofino experience of surfing, fishing, and hiking and eating at the best restaurants on Vancouver Island ! We will provide all the information you need to make your experience here memorable!

A slice of paradise.
Our stay in the Tofino area was perfect and a big part of that perfection was the lovely property where we stayed. It had everything we needed, was spacious, clean and comfortable. I can't say enough about the location aside from it being a little corner of coastal paradise, and we enjoyed easy access to the beautiful beach, many spectacular views and the soothing sound of the surf. Our hosts, Cathy and Steven, were welcoming, responsive and very helpful with their knowledge of the area. Whatever adventures we may have embarked on during the day, it was always comforting to come back to our home away from home. Would definitely stay here again.

Great spot on the beach!
Overall the stay was everything they claimed it would be. Well worth it in my opinion! Could be some improvements in the signage for where to park vehicles and a sign directing you downstairs towards the beach since there are multiple buildings on the lot.

Fabulous property!
This was one of the most enjoyable properties I've stayed at with VRBO. The remote-feeling location right next to town perfectly captured the beauty of Vancouver Island, complete with a little cove beach that we had to ourselves. The house was well-appointed and large enough to comfortably accommodate 6 people. It was cold and windy while we were there, but the front room's huge widows and view of the beach made us feel like we still got to enjoy the scenery. Unfortunately, it was too windy to enjoy a nice, private fire ring that is located down a short path, right above the beach. We did hike the 3kmTonquin Trail down to Middle Beach and thought it was well worth the time - the board walk winds through old-growth forest between beautiful coastal views. Two things to be aware of for this property: 1) you'll need to carry your luggage down a well-built, but longer set of stairs to access the property; 2) The residential portion of town starts very near this property, but the commercial downtown is a pleasant 10-15 min. walk.

Just what we hoped for!
With so many scammers out there, I find it hard to trust by photo alone. The pictures and write up looked great, the reviews were awesome, but still I wasn't 100% sure. I was so pleased to discover that this rental was exactly as advertised! The rental space was beautiful and comfortable, perfect for the 6 of us. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. The view and the beach were everything we had hoped it would be. Located near downtown Tofino, although you would never know it, it was convenient to shopping and dining. We ate great food, had campfires, played at the beach with the kids, and slept like babies at the end of the day. I would rent this beautiful accommodation again in a heartbeat!

Old Friends Reunion
Our group of 5 women over 50 thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay at Tonquin Beach. The pocket beach in front of the house was a great place to explore tidal pools and watch for whales. We explored the town and beaches of Tofino and down to Ucluelet during the day and played cards by the fire at the house in the evenings. The house was spacious and the beds were 5 star. The house was clean and homey with a spectacular ocean view. Cathy was a great host and gave us fantastic advice on hiking trails, beaches, cafes, and restaurants. We enjoyed our 5 day stay at Tonquin Beach and recommend it with top reviews. Thank you, Cathy!
