About this property

HALFMOON COTTAGE at Florencia Bay Reterat is self-catering and privately located on a 2.4 acre old growth forested property bordering Pacific Rim National Park, within walking distance of Florencia Bay and Halfmoon Bay via the Willowbrae Trail. This is a place to unplug and reconnect with nature and decompress from the busyness of life.

All windows frame in the beautiful old growth forest, making this cottage very peaceful. Featuring a beautifully hand crafted log staircase leading up to an open loft bedroom with a queen bed. The cozy living room has a queen size pullout couch that sleeps 2 comfortably. There is a private hot tub nestled in tall cedars & hemlocks. Halfmoon has a double slipper clawfoot tub (for 2), a stand up shower, antique-finish hardwood floors, cast iron fireplace, and floor-to-ceiling picture windows offering great views of the rainforest from all rooms.

Quiet and comfortable stay!

Easy to feel at home here! This stay was very enjoyable for my 3 person family and our dog - non-fussy, quality amenities and gorgeous wood cabin. The rain didn't matter, we enjoyed the hot tub and easy walking through the rainforest nearby. Thank you!

Perfect Westcoast chill experience

My wife and I have stayed at TVR Flo Bay Retreat twice, and both times have been absolutely perfect. The pictures online hardly capture the beautiful and private forested surroundings. Can't wait to come back.

Another dose of paradise

This was our second year spending part of spring break in Ucluelet at Half Moon Bay cottage. We absolutely love this area, the cabin included. This cabin is perfect for a couple or a family with one or two small children. If/when we return to the area, we will likely upgrade to a larger space with two bedrooms— hopefully with the same rental/property management group. The folks at Tofino Vacation Rentals are super responsive and kind. Great hosts!

Dog friendly

It was a wonderful way to spend our 50th anniversary. We cooked all our own meals, cozied up by the fireplace, enjoyed the hot tub, while our two dogs were content to lay on the deck. A very sweet little cabin that was perfect for us.

Love this cabin!

We just recently spent three nights in the Halfmoon Cottage and absolutely loved it! The cabin is incredibly comfortable. Spacious while still giving that cozy cabin feel. The hot tub was absolutely glorious particularly after getting drenched in the rain while out exploring. The furniture is sooo comfortable, perfect for curling up and reading while the fire gets the cabin toasty warm. L

Lovely Private Oasis

We had an amazing stay at this cabin tucked into the beautiful Ucluelet rainforest. The cabin itself is stunning and was exactly what we wanted for our getaway. The location is great - a short walk to the trailhead that leads to Florencia and Halfmoon Bays, 10min drive to Ucluelet, half an hour to Tofino. We will definitely be coming to stay again!

Perfect secluded cabin

We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay for our honeymoon. The Half Moon cottage was so cute and cozy, and was the perfect place to come back to after days filled with adventure. The cabins are set far enough apart, that you don’t have to see or hear anyone if you don’t want to. The hosts were always quick to respond and gave excellent recommendations. We absolutely loved our stay, and would definitely book again!

Everything was exactly as described. A perfect spot for relaxation and access to all that Ucluelet and Tofino have to offer. Loved the little touches such as Rhino coffee and Saltspring Soapworks products.

Cozy Cottage in the Forrest

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Halfmoon Cottage. It was so peaceful there and the surrounding forrest was so tranquil. The hot tub was splendid as well. We enjoyed walking the Willowbrae trail down to the beach in the mornings. We also went to the Shelter in Tofino for dinner on one of the nights we were here (as recommended in the house guidebook). The food was absolutely amazing! We will definitely be coming back soon.

First VRBO Experience - PERFECT

Beautiful location. We were looking for a romantic getaway close to the ocean and this cabin offers exactly that. The cottage was gorgeous inside and out with a private (and quiet!) outdoor hot tub, surrounded by forest and underneath a pocket of stars. Only 2-3 minutes from town centre and 20 from Tofino, it was the perfect home-base away from home. This will be our go to rental for next winters relax and reconnect!

In love with Ucluelet

We’re sold. We’re sold on the peace and quiet that Ucluelet and the surrounding forests and beaches offer. We’re also sold on this cabin…views of nothing but forest, sounds that were all nature. We don’t have one complaint about our stay and will absolutely be back again. The cabin as it is is wonderful and then you add the little details: Salt spring soap products, a beer waiting for us. And, communication with the property management was seamless from start to finish. Wow, just wow.
