All communications from beginning to end were fantastic, the cabin was spacious, clean and well equipped. The hot tub was secluded and partially sheltered which was great even in the rain.

Thank you for the review! I'm so glad you enjoyed the cabin and the hot tub, even with the west coast rain! Would be happy to welcome you back anytime
This little cabin is tucked into the woods right off the highway. I was worried about the sound, but with the big trees and breeze, it was fine. Perfect spot for exploring Florencia Bay and Half Moon Bay, with the trail just a few meters away. Also good launching place for both Ucluelet and Tofino. My teens and young adult children loved it!

We spent the last third of our 9 day Vanc And Vanc Island trip at the cottage and it was such a great place to round things out. The cottage was super comfortable, quiet, and stocked with everything we needed and then some.

Sweet and cosy!
This was our second time staying at this cottage. We love the cosiness and beautiful decor. The beds are comfortable and everything is included to cook for yourselves. We used the hot tub each night and sat around the table playing games every evening with the fire on. Do the Ancient Cedars hike and then eat at Ukee Poke.
Beautiful little cabin with all the amenities you could need for a quick getaway. We had a wonderful time catching up in the cozy living room, taking the dogs for a walk to nearby beaches, and finishing every night in the hot tub!

Hi Michael,
Thank you for the review, we're very glad to hear you enjoyed all that Florenicai Bay Cottage has to offer!
We stayed over a long weekend in early March, and had a really nice time. This is a very thoughtfully decorated space. The photos are very representative of how it looks indoors and out.
When we showed, up the hot tub was ready to go. The bedding was all very comfortable. Overall a great spot to relax.

A slice of paradise where hidden jewels lie!
I couldn’t recommend this place highly enough. 5 stars don’t do it justice. From the comfort of the cabin to the breathtaking nature it gives you access to, there is literally something for everyone!
Will definitely be back!

Really enjoyed the space at this property, the living room and kitchen made it easy to enjoy meals and spend time with each other. The beds were very comfortable and the hot tub was 10/10. Also you felt quite secluded in the forest!
Wifi had some issues but the manager was very helpful in solving them!
Looking forward to staying there again!

Cozy, Private Getaway with Thoughtful Touches
My boyfriend and I had a lovely stay at Florencia Bay Cottage. Danielle’s communication throughout our stay was excellent, which made everything smooth and easy. We especially loved the hot tub and the well-stocked kitchen - it had everything we needed to prepare all our meals. The beds were super comfy, and the cottage itself was cozy with a warm, inviting ambiance. We also really appreciated the privacy of the property - it felt like our own little retreat. We’d definitely stay here again. Thanks so much, Danielle! 😊
