A pleasant stay

Our stay at Cox Bay Retreat was very pleasant. It was quiet, fairly private, well located and well organized. I would however make a few suggestions namely that the dishwasher be fixed (the bottom rack does not roll out well at all), alternative comforters could be in the room for people sensitive to down. Our master bedroom had only one bath towel. Beds were on the soft side, we prefer firm beds. Communications and directions were very clear and timely.

Perfect Time in Tofino

This house was a perfect location for us to get to our day trips and hikes and beach. One of the nicest and well equipped rental properties we have stayed at. The hot tub and cozy robes made it feel like a resort experience, but at the same time it had the comforts of home. Hope to return someday!

Overall a great stay

The only problem was we had difficulty finding the house when we first got there as it is quite hidden and not obvious, but other than that it was great. We had a great time hiking to the beach!

Perfect Tofino Getaway

This was a three generation family vacation. Myself with two adult daughters and a four year old granddaughter. The location was beyond our expectations - just minutes from Cox Bay down a groomed path leading right to the beach. It was well appointed with plush towels, robes, tv, kitchen supplies etc etc etc. Would go again and highly recommend you try it.

Wonderful stay

We had 6 adults in February and had a wonderful time. House was great for fixing a few meals, walking down to the beach for sunrise and sunset. Kids walked down to the beach to surf. Super close to tofino to drive into town for groceries and shopping. We would happily stay here again.

Perfect location, great property

We have been to Tofino a number of times and this was one of our best stays yet. Great communication and info from the host, the space is lovely, exactly as described, well set up kitchen, comfy beds and lots of clean towels. LOVE places that accept pets as they are part of the family and love the vacation just as much as we do. So great to take a short stroll down to Cox Bay and enjoy our days.

Amazing April

The beach was steps away, we hit perfect weather. The kitchen and living area was perfect for our group of 4, as well as the sunny deck. We appreciated the well stocked kitchen as we did not want to spend time looking for restaurants. Lots of stairs to the main floor but not a problem. Nice bedrooms and bathrooms.

A weekend away

We had a great stay at the Cox Bay retreat. The place was super clean and lots of room for my husband and I, our two adult boys and their girlfriends. The kitchen was well stocked for all our cooking needs, we loved the spa like bathrooms, a great surf board rack with a hose to rinse off the gear and it was nice to be so close to the beach. A few minutes down the path and you are there. Highly recommend this place! We will be back :)

Beautiful location and house

The house is lovely and far better equipped than most rentals. The location is fantastic: closer to the beach than we had expected (it’s really close) but it still feels private and peaceful. Easy communication with the property managers. We would stay again in a heartbeat. We never felt crowded — even with four adults, two kids, and a dog. Good outside space and surf board rack.

Great Family Vacation Location

For 2 of us, this was a repeat visit. We brought our Calgary based family of 2 adults and two teen grand daughters. They were impressed and delighted with the location, accommodation and amenities. The short walk to a large beach area was pleasant and facilitated bringing chairs and boards. Interesting weather, cool mornings and hot afternoons. Great sunsets. Close to Tacofino and other good outlets. Book early, you wont be disappointed.
