Wonderful

After my son's wedding, we stayed here with 2 other couples. Everything was great. The only slight downside was that the 2 couples were both our friends and didn't really know each other, but had to share a bathroom. We felt a bit guilty about that as in the master bedroom we had an amazing ensuite. Absolutely beautiful location next to the inlet.

Peaceful and relaxing

This exceptional property exceeded expectations, offering stunning interior and exterior aesthetics. Amenities included a hot tub for enjoying sunrise and tidal views while having morning coffee, and a world-class kitchen with scenic views for preparing meals. The spacious accommodation comfortably slept six adults, with two queen bedrooms, one room with two single beds, and a king bedroom. Its convenient location, a 20-minute walk from town and opposite a brewery, added to its appeal. The outstanding hospitality provided by Peter ensured a memorable stay, and we eagerly anticipate a return visit.

Serenity and Beauty

The photos online do not do this home justice, the house is huge and so lovely and the view is unbelievably beautiful.It is so quiet, it really gives you a chance to recharge your batteries from the busy lifes we all lead.Our dogs loved being right on the beach as much as we did.The beds were comfortable and the master bathroom was next level luxury.We stayed for 1 week and they even had the hottub service come by to check the hottub and chemicals without us even asking, next level care and service.The house is also in a great location and proximity to pretty much everything, so exploring the area is easy and convenient. Thank you again Peter, we have memories that will last us a lifetime

Amazing house in a beautiful place

Great stay. Space was large and well equipped. With 6 adults and 2 dogs, we had everything we could have needed or wanted. Would love to return in the future. Pete our contact was very helpful. Close enough to walk into town or to Chesterman beach, but very quiet and peaceful place. Fantastic for relaxing with family.

A fabulous property in a beautiful location. The house is well equipped with a very functional kitchen and large separate dining room. We loved having the wood burning fireplace in the den area. The hot tub and back deck allow for stunning views. Close proximity to town, beaches and walking distance to Tofino Brewing Company. Pete answered any questions promptly.

About the host

Hosted by Peter

Host profile image
My wife and I have been coming to Tofino for over 23 years and have an appreciation for the natural beauty and solitude of wilderness. We have owned other properties in Tofino in the past, however, when we visited the View House we fell in love with the privacy and tranquility of inlet waterfront.

Why they chose this property

When we first visited the Tofino View House we fell in love with the beautiful views of Meares Island and the privacy this 1 acre provides. There are at least 5 massive, old-growth cedar trees on the property and the atmosphere is of nature and tranquility.

What makes this property unique

One of the unique benefits of our property is the absolute privacy and quiet that 1 acre provides. Most rooms in the house are north/east facing and have stunning views of Tofino Inlet & Meares Island. The bird life is amazing, including bald eagles, owls and herons fishing at low tide. As you look up from the hot-tub the starlit sky is framed by a 250+ yr. cedar tree. The property is conveniently located between the main town and the best beaches in the area, both a 2 minute drive. There is also a paved walking/cycling path leading to the town and beaches, accessed at the top of our driveway. A quintessential Tofino experience!
