This was above and beyond our expectations… by far our favourite vrbo or other accommodation ever!! Everything about the property was luxurious and high quality. The cooks in our family ( my husband and two sons) were thrilled to cook in the beautiful kitchen. The surfers enjoyed the hot tub after the cold ocean. The location was great … just a few minutes to Tofino. Would definitely recommend and would return if we were to come back to Tofino again!

Clayoquot Surf Retreat provided our family with an ideal home away from home during our vacation. The setting is very peaceful yet a close walk to South Chesterman’s beach.

Beautiful property right in the heart of Tofino. With a commercial kitchen and spacious bedrooms it felt like a home away from home. We stargazed in the hot tub at night and had the best sleep in the most comfortable beds provided. 10/10 would stay here again.

A quiet family retreat

What a beautiful home in a very quiet and private location. We were central to explore the beaches and towns of Tofino and Ucluelet. A perfect place to spend time together with 3 generations!

Relaxing in Tofino

The area was beautiful and we especially loved watching the tides come and go in the rear of the property. The beds and pillows were excellent. The toilet on the first floor needed some tightening and another TV would have been appreciated.

Amazing place! We were so fortunate to spend our vacation at Clayoquot Surf Retreat. The home had everything we needed and then some. It was very peaceful and relaxing. The location was great for surfing, excursions, and hikes. The communication from the hosts was spot on. Thanks for an amazing place to settle while in Tofino!

Tofino

The place was amazing. All as pictured. But it was advertised as though it was a house when in fact in was a duplex with owners on the attached side.
