COX BAY RETREAT is nestled in the forest and is a short 5-minute walk to the surfing paradise Cox Bay. This house is 3 bedroom with 2-full bathrooms and a wrap around deck, perfect for your morning coffee or afternoon relaxation. The kitchen and living area is an open concept with bar stools around the island great for socializing while you cook in.

Upstairs, you’ll find a full kitchen equipped with brand-new stainless steel appliances and a kitchen island that’s perfect for enjoying meals together. The cozy living room features a propane fireplace and a flat-screen TV, creating a warm and inviting space to relax after a day of exploring.
Just off the kitchen is a spacious primary bedroom with a king-size bed and a private en-suite bathroom. The en-suite includes a large soaker tub and a stand-up shower for the ultimate comfort. From the bedroom, you can step out onto a generous upper deck with ample seating and a dining table—ideal for bringing your indoor meals outdoors.

The second and third bedrooms are located on the first floor (entrance level). Both bedrooms offers a queen beds, making it perfect for families or groups. There is also a full bathroom with a standup shower and separate bathtub on the first floor.

Outdoor Amenities: When the sun is shining in Tofino, step out onto your private balcony, which features a gas BBQ, a dining table for alfresco meals, and a comfortable sectional for lounging. Just below, you’ll find a hot tub—perfect for unwinding at the end of the day.

Location: We are located just steps from the iconic Cox Bay Beach—one of Tofino’s premier surf destinations. Here, you can enjoy breathtaking ocean views, endless beach walks, and world-class waves right at your doorstep. A private path from the property leads you directly to the beach, only a short 3–5 minute walk away.

The area is peaceful and secluded, surrounded by lush rainforest, yet still only minutes from Tofino’s shops, cafés, restaurants, and all the conveniences of town. It’s the perfect balance of tranquility and accessibility.

Overall very much enjoyed the location. Hot tub was located in a remote space at the back of the the unit so did not use it. Not sure if the structure could support it but it would be better on the upper deck near the master bedroom. The beach was so close and great for exploring the immediate area. Kitchen was well supplied from a pots and pans and dishes prespective but limited in leftover spices, vinegars, etc from previous visitors, I understand that may be intentional. I would recommend this location but give a heads up on what you may need to buy in small quanities before you drive in. Koodos to the staff they were all great to work with and very attentive.

Thanks for the review, and we’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the place. Yes, we only supply salt, pepper, oil, saran wrap, tinfoil, and propane for the BBQ. If guests leave behind spices, they may be available, but this is not always guaranteed. I appreciate the review, and we hope to host you again!

We had an amazing stay! Everything was as listed in the ad. The home was spotlessly clean, the property was immaculate. Hot tub was amazing. Communication was excellent with our host, she went beyond to ensure our comfort- thoughtful greeting card and check in texts. We were surprised at just how close we were to the beach- anticipating it to be a little farther of a walk. We were equally as surprised at just how much sun hits the GEORGOUS deck!! The kids loved the soccer ball- another lovely surprise. Overall it was a spectacular experience- our only complaint was that we had to leave! We hope to be back soon. Thank you!

Cox Bay Retreat

House was just as described and communication was great with Danielle. Walk to the beach was much shorter than we anticipated, which was a pleasant surprise having a 4 and 8 year old. We appreciated the wagon supplied to cart our items back and forth. Would have liked to have a table to dine at inside, but other than that it was a lovely stay.
