Exceeded expectations

Our group of 6 loved staying at this property. It was well kitted out with everything you could need. Very clean and quiet. The location was stellar…right on the inlet, quick walk to Industrial Way businesses and easy 25 minute stroll into the town of Tofino. Contact with the rental agency was top notch. Highly recommend this property and hope to return there in the future.

Great location, nice views and a confortable stay

The hosts, the amenities, the views and the location of this property made it very special for our first time in Tofino. Even on rainy days, we felt at home. It is nice to encourage a local business at the same time; felt right and no disappointment encountered during our stay.

Great and tranquil place to stay

We spent 4 nights in the house in Tofino. The house itself was great besides the kitchen equipment and the cleanliness of the kitchen and some parts of the other furniture. The pots and pans were so used, grimy and stained we had to clean them before using them and still did not feel comfortable. Please replace them with a totaly new set. This does not reflect the price and the impression of the house itself: freshly painted inside (some paint stains were still visible on the floor :-)), well decorated etc. Regarding the cleanliness please ask the cleaning team to also clean on top of the cupboards and the backside of the handles for the drawers and doors of the kitchen cabinets; the were really sticky and gros to touch. We did not bring this up during our stay because we did not want spent valuable vacation time for this. Thanks and kind regards

Beautifull house but interior is tired

The house is beautiful, good location but noisy highway. Two chairs had broken caning on back rendering them useless for dining room furniture. Two of the beds were like 'bouncy castles' and not comfortable. Cheap beds. Teflon on frying pans was worn out. Low battery warning went off in kitchen at 12:15am! Our men retrieved the ladder from outside to dismantle the dector from the 12' ceiling. Battery was replaced next day. Low quality for price. Dated saggy furnature

Perfect

We were a family of four-when we arrived I thought the house was excellent (even better than described)-clean, well equipped with great views. We found it very easily. They use local natural products in the house and leave some great recommendations which we took up. As we has been travelling we were thankful for an excellent laundry room. The lounge and kitchen were both well equipped and the outside seating were well used together with the BBQ. We visited the local ‘Fish shop’, Tofino beer company (which was buzzing) and the Tofino chocolate company plus the Tofino Grill. It would be easy to walk into town being only about 2.5k with an excellent walkway. Great coffee houses and shops-all very welcoming and relaxing. All the rooms were comfortable and the beds had very comfy mattresses. Tofino was the perfect end to the holiday for us and we would happily come back for longer as there is so much to do. Everyone was friendly and helpful-what more could you want 😃

Beautiful stay

Well equipped and beautifully located. The kitchen had everything we needed with lots of space for multiple cooks and a fabulous view. Short drive to Tofino but can also walk across the street for evening drinks at either the distillery or brewery. Short walk to the Tonquin Park trailhead or to the Shelter for dinner. Responsive management. Would definitely stay again.

A Slice of Paradise

The spacious property has a wonderful view of the ocean. A private walkway takes you to the beach where a couple of chairs welcome you to relax and take in the breathtaking scenery. The inside of the property has vaulted ceilings with an open concept kitchen that has everything you need. The bed was comfortable and the washrooms were great. There is a big deck to sit out and enjoy a meal with the ocean in the distance.

Stay at Orca View House

We went for an extended weekend in January and the home had everything we needed. There is also a walking/biking path right next to it which we used to walk into downtown Tofino (about 15 minutes). We would stay again in Orca View House.
