About this property

South Swell on the Inlet

South Swell is a 3 bedroom custom built home overlooking Jensen`s Bay in Tofino, surrounded by old growth rainforest. The exceptional wood detailing, skylights and vaulted ceilings give the space a true west coast feel. The private hot tub, outdoor hot water shower and gas fireplace provide ample options to warm up after a beach walk or surf.

The home has three bedrooms all equipped with queen sized beds. One bedroom is located on the ground level of the home and has an ensuite bathroom. The other two bedrooms are upstairs along with the second bathroom, living room and kitchen.

The entire home is for guest use, there are no shared spaces.

The owners of the house live next door, the houses are connected but have separate entrances and do not share any amenities.

It is Tofino district bylaw to have a long term resident living on the property.

April and Jamie of Evergreen Co. Tofino are managers of the property and will be your contacts during your stay.

We will not likely see you but are close by in the event something comes up or you need assistance.

Down town Tofino is 5km away and accessed by road or a well maintained multi-use path. The path connects Tofino and the neighbouring town of Ucluelet and provides ready access to beaches and the Pacific Rim National Park.
Just a very friendly reminder this property is located in a quiet residential neighbourhood and loud music, events and parties are strictly prohibited.

Fire pit use (when fire bans are not in effect) are permitted until 10pm. Tofino Bylaw no noise hours are 10pm to 8am and we ask that you keep noise down during this period.

Hot tub use is permitted until 10pm. Tofino Bylaw no noise hours are 10pm to 8 am and we ask that you keep noise down during this period.

**IMPORTANT**
The hot tub is thoroughly serviced and balanced twice weekly and details are reported. Additionally, the water is checked on arrival day and departure day. At the sole discretion of Evergreen management, if, during your stay or upon departure, the hot tub needs to be drained, cleaned and re-filled, outside of scheduled water changes, you will be charged a $350 fee plus tax (the cost to us for this service.) Your credit card will also be charged for any damage to the hot tub due to misuse, and/or damaged or missing parts.

Excellent property. There was a note in the listing that bikes were available for use but this turned out not to be the case.

Thank you for staying with us Monika, apologies for the mix up regarding the bikes, this was a translation issue from our property management software to VRBO. We have corrected this error.

Fantastic location. The perfect combination of access to the inlet for SUP and kayaking, and close proximity to Cox Bay, Chesterman’s, and even Long Beach, which is only 10 minutes down the road. A couple of minutes away from Tofitian Café and surf rentals, could not be better positioned. The house is perfect for a family getaway, there is really nothing it does not have. A couple simple suggestions would be 1. biodegradable shampoo/soap in the outside warm shower - to encourage people to use it before entering the hot tub, and not having to move bottles outside from the main bathrooms, and 2. hand towel rails in the bathrooms. Lovely space, look forward to the next trip

The property is incredibly quiet and family friendly- Minutes walk from Chesterman Beach. The location is truly indescribable and photos do not do it justice. The hosts were very responsive, everything was well labelled and the instructions were super clear for the hot tub. The outdoor shower was so convenient for coming back from the beach. Only a few minutes drive to downtown- likely walkable but it was too long of a walk for my 6 year old. We would definitely stay here again!
