Incredible vacation
Host was amazing, having a toasty fireplace to enjoy each night was fantastic. The house is situated in a beautiful area and walking distance to the brewery. We even accidentally forgot our kindle and the owner was fast to respond and mailed it back for us!!!

Amazing house in a beautiful place
Great stay. Space was large and well equipped. With 6 adults and 2 dogs, we had everything we could have needed or wanted. Would love to return in the future. Pete our contact was very helpful. Close enough to walk into town or to Chesterman beach, but very quiet and peaceful place. Fantastic for relaxing with family.

Fall family Getaway
A fabulous property in a beautiful location. The house is well equipped with a very functional kitchen and large separate dining room. We loved having the wood burning fireplace in the den area. The hot tub and back deck allow for stunning views. Close proximity to town, beaches and walking distance to Tofino Brewing Company. Pete answered any questions promptly. I would recommend without reservation !!

Waterfront Paradise Indeed
The photos almost don't do this property justice. Spacious, well-equipped, private with gorgeous views. We especially appreciated the beautiful touches like an outdoor shower and the raven wood art. Within walking distance to downtown Tofino and close to surf/bike rentals and nearby beaches. I will definitely recommend this rental to others.

Best place in Tofino!!
This was by far the best place in Tofino I have stayed in! The home is gorgeous, fully stoked (like everything you could think of), beautifully decorated, comfortable furniture, updated appliances, amazing views from EVERY ROOM, and the perfect location. I was blown away by the person touches - towels in a basket for the hot tub, amazing smelling toiletries, chopped wood with kindling and firestarters, an axe to chop wood, lots of chairs and outside seating, a GREAT grill, and the wood ravens outside were my favorite! Seriously - I cannot say enough about this property. It is...ALL TIME!!!

A Perfect Place to Stay
From our initial booking until we were just leaving to Return home, Pete was in touch to make sure we had everything we needed. Centrally located, the home was an ideal launching pad for us to explore Tofino and its surroundings. With plenty of rooms, a spacious kitchen and expansive deck, it left nothing to be desired. We highly recommend booking it for your own trip to Tofino.

Great getaway!
I stayed at Peter's property with 3 couples, vacationing in Tofino for the weekend. The place had everything we needed and we especially enjoyed the hot tub! The kitchen is incredibly well stocked with utensils and pots/pans which we utilized to make a few meals (including BBQ). It is the perfect place if you are planning to cook in. Beds are comfy. Great location - felt private. Close to the brewery and the bike path. Peter was great at communicating with us and answering our questions. Before our arrival he let us know the hottub was not working but that he was having it serviced. It was fixed a few hours later! Would stay again and 100% recommend to friends.

Sent pictures of the crockery
Peter popped over to the house and took pictures of the cooking gear and crockery as we were doing a bit of fancy cooking while in Tofino. Really helped with planning! The hoise needs a bit of repair here and there but generally in good shape. Beds were comfortable. View from the hot tub great. Very quiet on the inlet. It was my moms 80 birthday and she had a whale of a good time.

Superb
6 of us stayed in this home for 3 nights and we thoroughly enjoyed everything about it. The house is very big and could have easily and comfortably accommodated at least one more couple. The location is wonderful as it is close to town (we walked to a restaurant for dinner) but very quiet and, of course, waterfront with superb views on Meares Island especially from the large hot tub. We made dinner twice and found the kitchen to be well-equipped. We would certainly be happy to go back!

About the host

Hosted by Peter

Host profile image
My wife and I have been coming to Tofino for over 23 years and have an appreciation for the natural beauty and solitude of wilderness. We have owned other properties in Tofino in the past, however, when we visited the View House we fell in love with the privacy and tranquility of inlet waterfront.

Why they chose this property

When we first visited the Tofino View House we fell in love with the beautiful views of Meares Island and the privacy this 1 acre provides. There are at least 5 massive, old-growth cedar trees on the property and the atmosphere is of nature and tranquility.

What makes this property unique

One of the unique benefits of our property is the absolute privacy and quiet that 1 acre provides. Most rooms in the house are north/east facing and have stunning views of Tofino Inlet & Meares Island. The bird life is amazing, including bald eagles, owls and herons fishing at low tide. As you look up from the hot-tub the starlit sky is framed by a 250+ yr. cedar tree. The property is conveniently located between the main town and the best beaches in the area, both a 2 minute drive. There is also a paved walking/cycling path leading to the town and beaches, accessed at the top of our driveway. A quintessential Tofino experience!
