This cozy, pet friendly studio suite was perfect for my stay. It had everything I needed and the location, steps away from the Lighthouse Loop, provided easy access to this iconic and scenic walk in rain and sunshine alike! Just 5 minutes from central Ucluelet and 30 minutes from Tofino. The host, Connor, was always helpful and quick to respond to any of my questions. I highly recommend this property for a west coast getaway!
We had a great stay at Grey Whale Studio. It was a lovely location, perfect for the two of us and our pup. Loved the beach access and proximity to walking trails. We would stay here again, when in Uclulet!
The location was perfect. Terrace beach was amazing, especially when you know that you can just walk onto the beach and enjoy it's serenity. The rooms were clean and was very cozy.

The location of the building is great - right on the cove with a short walk down through the trees to the water. Bathroom is a little outdated but fine if you’re going to be out exploring the beautiful area around it.
This is a lovely, affordable cosy little unit which made a perfect base for us to explore the area. Beautifully situated steps from the beach and Wild Pacific Trail.

The property was perfect for our active family of four. The kids (9 and 7 years) enjoyed the novelty of the bunkbeds and the kitchenette was so great to have for easy breakfasts/lunches. Also the location being right on Terrace Beach was amazing for the kids to be able to run down to the beach for a quick walk before bed.

Thanks for staying! Always happy to hear the bed hit the mark.
Very comfortable, warm and cozy studio with everything you need.

Thanks for staying! I'm glad you had a cozy stay and enjoyed the Wild Pacific Trail. :)
What a great little getaway location at Terrace Beach! The location was truly amazing, just steps from the Lighthouse Loop and amazing access to nature, plus a short easy drive into town. The studio has charming, cozy decor, the kitchenette was very well stocked with dishes and cooking essentials, plus we really enjoyed the lovely local soaps and bath products. It's an older building so there is a bit of noise from other units, but nothing overly intrusive. Parking was a little challenging on the busy long weekend but we were able to find an overflow spot. Great communication with the host, and easy check-in/checkout. Would stay again!

Thank you for the thoughtful review! I’m so glad you enjoyed the cozy studio, the beautiful location, and your time at Terrace Beach. You’re welcome back anytime.
I had such a wonderful stay at this cozy and clean studio. It was the perfect retreat after long walks along the breathtaking (and beautifully rainy) coastline. The location couldn’t be better—just steps from the Wild Pacific Trail and Terrace Beach where I enjoyed cold dips before coming back to warm up with a bath and a home-cooked meal.The studio is thoughtfully equipped with all the kitchenette essentials, a drying rack for wet gear, and lovely locally made soaps that added a special touch. Everything was designed for comfort, making it easy to settle in and truly relax. Having my dog with me made it even more special, as she loved exploring just as much as I did. The host was incredibly kind, accommodating, and quick to respond.I was sending videos to my friends throughout my trip, and they were all so jealous! This was such a special experience, and I would absolutely love to return.

I paid for the early check in but when I arrived, I surprised housekeeping as they hadn't been informed. However, they were done by the time I unloaded the car because I had to make several trips up and down stairs due to construction closing the ramp to the boardwalk. The bed was saggy and the soundproofing was poor. I was awakened at 11:30 at night when the people above me arrived and I could hear footsteps and voices before they settled in. There was no view but there was easy access to the beach. I wouldn't stay here again.

Fair
We stayed in January with two small dogs and their beds. The suite was just what we needed and had all the kitchen and BR essentials. The couch and the bed were not very comfortable. We brought our own duvet so can’t speak for the linen. I cleaned a fair amount when checking out (kitchen walls by the sink, outside of the cupboards, baseboards, and table). I found The Ikea kitchen table had not been folded down to clean in awhile nor had baseboards or under the cabinets and bed been cleaned. The bathroom is only half painted. Would suggest finishing this task. The area beach and trails are awesome and access for dog walks in the am and pm was great. Would stay here again.

Thank you for staying and sharing your feedback! I’m glad the suite had what you needed and that you enjoyed the beach, trails, and dog-friendly access. I can assure you the unit is professionally cleaned between each stay, but I’ll review your notes to ensure everything meets expectations.
This stay for my dog and I was fantastic! It was in a quiet part of town by Terrace Beach. Each morning, I would wake up to sounds of Eagles and birds. We could take a quick walk to the beach. It was very close to the lighthouse loop. The kitchen was set up well and I could cook comfortably each day. Loved it! Highly recommend.
