The property was extremely clean, and the host was very friendly. We were there at the beginning of storm season and enjoyed watching the weather from in front of the beautiful long fireplace. We like to cook and found EVERYTHING we needed was in the kitchen. The appliances wee all top of the line (Bertazzoni range, LG fridge) and worked well.

Absolutely A Stunning Retreat

We had an excellent four night stay at this amazing property. The view of Jensen’s Bay from the second storey living/dining room was fabulous. The house is modern, very clean and very well appointed. It is the perfect spot to chill and unwind. It is peaceful and private. Our host was excellent. He met us upon arrival and briefed us on its features. We will be back!

Tofino Retreat

We had a great time in Tofino! Billy’s house was perfect for my wife and I. Nicely appointed with a great deck to relax on. Quiet location. Free shuttle close by to access beaches, trails and town. We would absolutely stay again!

You won't regret staying here...

From the beginning, Billy was very easy to communicate with and was kind enough to accommodate us regarding allergies within my family. Billy's home was very clean from top to bottom, and the workmanship is lovely. The view is spectacular and calming, as the tide flows in and out. The location is ideal as the property is an easy bike ride to Chesterman Beach and Cox Bay Beach, both of which are jaw-dropping in their beauty. The wild west coast at its finest. If you can bring your bikes, the trail system in Tofino is awesome. We also enjoyed a yummy family dinner at The Shed - the salmon and kale bowl was delicious and my family raved about the burgers - simple and yummy. We also enjoyed a lunch in Ucluelet at the Cedar Grill after taking in the great aquarium; the seafood pasta brought me a lot of joy! The Wild Pacific Trail in Ucluelet should not be missed. But back to Billy's house... you won't regret staying here. It is lovely through and through, and has everything that you could possibly need to relax and get away from the busyness of life. And Billy truly cares about the home and ensuring his guests are happy. Thank you Billy!

Beautiful Home with walkable location

My family stayed in Billy's house for 5 nights and we enjoyed every minute. We especially loved the short walk to Chesterman's beach, which was great for the kids. The house has comfortable rooms, excellent bathrooms, and a peaceful space for evening relaxation with a fire. One thing we really enjoyed about the home was the incredible raven mask hanging in the dining room. It is a marvelous piece of art and adds to the ambience of the place. We also enjoyed using the binoculars to watch the water and sitting out on the balcony. Billy was especially thoughtful during the tsunami warning and offered to come help us evacuate with the kids. Fortunately, that was unnecessary, but it shows that he is a caring, lovely person. It was a dream vacation and our time in Tofino was especially perfect thanks to this home base. Mahalo nui loa, Billy! Come visit on Kaua‘i any time!

Oasis in the woods

We LOVED how much Bill’s home reminded us of ours. Every detail was accounted for. The beautiful skylights and windows helped us feel like we were outdoors. I can imagine and hope to enjoy the winter feel. It is very cozy and quiet. The floor was always warm. There was never a thought of missing anything as the kitchen was well stocked. We ate all of our meals at the house and for our week getaway only ate out once bc the kitchen and grill was so easy to use. Anything we had a question about Bill answered quickly and often he became our help with finding bike rentals and other things. Anyone finding their way to this part of the island will love the gem that Bill created. Thanks so very much. We will return.

Magical

Loved this home and its beautiful natural setting. The house is filled with light from windows and skylights and is surrounded by a bay changing with the tide and majestic trees. We found ourselves immediately relaxed as we were immersed in the beauty of that world. Also the house was immaculate and equipped with everything you could want. Our only regret was that we could not stay longer!

Pictures don’t do it justice

A beautiful home to stay in. Enjoyed the view of the forest from the back deck. So much natural light on the main floor. Kitchen has all kitchenware you need for making your own meals. The master bedroom and ensuite was top shelf. Our host was available if we had any questions- appreciate that.

Top Quality Experience

Billy is a gifted and generous host. He kept in excellent contact with us to answer any questions and we enjoyed meeting him. This property is beautifully located, designed, built, furnished, and decorated. The site pictures really don't do it justice. Beautiful views onto a secluded bay are reflected in the local art on the walls. If you are a star-gazer, the night skies are dark and expansive. A comfortable place to hang out for the day if the weather is poor and close to the beaches when the weather is good. This was a great find and we look forward to staying here again.
