Peaceful and beautiful

We loved our stay at Jensen’s Bay! The property did not disappoint. The house was roomy and well laid out for our group of 6. We would stay again if we return to Tofino.

Super cozy house. Great for families. Walking distance to restaurants, food trucks and beaches. We walked to Cox Bay Beach and to the local market where Tacofino is located. Unfortunately no way to charge an electric car on site.

Beautiful location for friend weekend

From the moment you step into the house you are welcomed by a wide open space and gorgeous views of Jensen Bay. We had lots of room to hangout and eat meals. The rooms felt very private and all had a stunning view of the bay. It was a joy to eake up to every morning. We loved our time here and are already planning to come back. Had everything we needed for our friends weekend. In a great spot close to restaurants, chesterman beach and town.

Vacation retreat par excellence!

We enjoyed the lovely living space and surroundings. It was quiet and relaxing and the local area also provided many activities for those that wanted to pursue them (biking, surfing etc.) We would certainly enjoy coming to stay again in the future.

Absolutely gorgeous home and view!

The view and inside of home are so much more beautiful than the pictures can show! The layout of the home was enjoyable, with kitchen and great room and huge dining table to hold all of us to eat, and play games together - all with a stunning view of the bay and mountains. The only downside was that there were a few hiccups with amenities while we were there (two caused by a power outage that happened moments after our arrival). The manager did her best to take care of issues promptly, and also gave us a discount on our stay, which was very fair. All and all a totally wonderful stay, and we would stay again.

Great location and space

This was the perfect spot for our family vacation of three adult couples. Each had their own room and bath and the great room with kitchen + living room was great for gathering. Kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans for most anything you'd need. Spent most of our time on the deck, even during a rainy day, since enough is covered. It was easy to foreget we even had neighbors since you can't really see any other houses and the water/mountain view is amazing. The multi-use trail is right there and easy ride to the beach and other spots. Or just a quick drive to town or hiking trails or beaches. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet getaway, but still close to so many different activities.

West Coast View

What a beautiful home overlooking Jensen's Bay where we saw a mama bear and her cub come out to forage, bald eagles in the distance all from a sweeping balcony with plenty of chairs and a hot tub. The inside was well appointed with lots of sitting room, bed comfy and spacious bathrooms. Easy access to Hwy 4 and Tofino and Ucluelet, yet very quiet. Highly recommend it.

Great house for family vacation!

We had a wonderful visit to Tofino, and this house was perfect for our family of four. The kids each had a room and the parents were on the other side of the house, so there was privacy. Lots of time in the hot tub enjoying the view. Fully outfitted kitchen. Beds were comfortable.

Great relaxing quiet vacay

Wonderful location a short walk to Chestermen Beach. Great separation of space between bedrooms with two wings to the house with the central living area comfortable and roomy. Linens, duvets, towels etc all fresh and comfy. The covered hot tub was a hit. Beds are average but comfortable. Property Mgmt was awesome to work with. Would definitely come back.

Terrific View Property

We've stayed at many different properties over the years, but this one ticks all the boxes. Excellent location, clean, well equipped, in a quiet neighbourhood, yet within walking distance to both Cox and Chesterman Beach. The house itself is very spacious with a superb, kitchen, very comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms. We loved the high quality, BC sourced, shampoo/conditioner and body wash provided. A really nice touch! The living room has a breathtaking view over the bay and the additional light from the many skylights was much appreciated on a few rainy, dark afternoons. All in all, an excellent stay in a beautiful home.

One of Best Vacation Rentals in Tofino

We have been going to Tofino for about 20 years now on an annually basis and always stay at vacation rentals. This is one of the best vacation rentals hands down in terms of the view, the setting, the comfort, the amenities, the care, the location, and the cost!

A Relaxing, Beautiful Retreat

Our family of 6 had a wonderful time here. It is a quiet, private retreat nestled in between trees and the bay. The house was very clean and well stocked, fully ready for check in. The cozy and open layout of the house is amazing with every room taking in the view. The beds and linens were very comfortable. The hottub on the covered deck overlooking the bay was clean and delightful. We stayed for 4 nights, but our kids begged us to stay longer and said it was one of the best places we have stayed. . It’s walking distance to coffee, some shops and a food truck and Chestermann Beach. Thank-you for hosting us!
