Clayoquot Surf Retreat

This luxury custom built waterfront vacation rental home is located on Jensen's Bay and is only minutes from downtown Tofino. With panoramic views of the bay and the distant mountains it will provide a relaxing retreat for family and friends. Lounging in the hot tub or sitting around the fire pit after an exciting day of exploring all that Tofino has to offer is a great way to unwind and share your west coast experiences. The surf and sand of Chesterman Beach is only minutes away.

A quiet family retreat

What a beautiful home in a very quiet and private location. We were central to explore the beaches and towns of Tofino and Ucluelet. A perfect place to spend time together with 3 generations!

Tofino

The place was amazing. All as pictured. But it was advertised as though it was a house when in fact in was a duplex with owners on the attached side.

The perfect place after a day in and around Tofino

Amazing property for our family of six. The kitchen is large with an excellent layout for cooking and visiting, and has all the supplies you could need. The rest of the house is beautifully done. The bedrooms are large and all of the beds were very comfortable. The outside is quiet and private, with several sitting areas. The kids loved the hot tub after a day at the ocean.

Jensen's Bay

A great stay for 3 couples and a baby, 2 poodles. Lots of room for everyone. 3 bathrooms means no one intrudes on anyone else. Comfortable beds, lots of towels. Hot tub much appreciated. The main open floor plan offers both a level of privacy and inclusion so that one can join the rabble or quietly read, meditate or day dream. 2 comfortable sectional seating areas. The kitchen is fully equipped and I suspect rescued from a restaurant (stove and sink) with sufficient counter space. For you coffee freaks there's automatic drip, French press and stove top espresso. The electricity went out for 6hr due to a MVA on the hwy thus the fully charged flashlights and lantern were much appreciated. A 10 minute walk to Chesterman Beach. 8 minute drive into Tofino. You MUST try the donuts at Rhino Coffee. This VRBO is everything it claims to be. I highly recommend it and will stay again if I need accommodation for 6.

Perfect stay

This property was beautiful and in a great location. The fireplace was great for the mornings and the house was well suited for a group of six. There were only four of us, so it was very comfortable. We ran into the owner, Chris who seemed like an absolute beauty. Would recommend

Beautiful Home for a Vacation

Near Tofino, this home is within easy reach of the beach, Tofino and all the activities you might want on a vacation. The house is very spacious, modern, clean and comfortable, located near the end of a quiet street. Just what we wanted, we loved our stay there.

Great value

While not really close to great viewing - we did not have time to explore the property much - it had everything All other amenities worked well and were thoughtful Had two people working in IT with us and could not get TV to work but not the worst thing to disconnect for a few days Would stay here again- Tofino is such a wonderful place and we had no worries

Tofino Getaway

Overall the property met our needs and expectations. Lovely location and house, short drive to beaches and town. However, 2 out of 3 beds were great. The 1 was awful, not even a firm mattress but hard, almost lumpy like and extremely uncomfortable. With 3 70+ people, it wasn’t suitable for them, so I was left unrested. As well, the second bathroom on level 2 had nowhere to hang towels or put toiletries and with the 1 bedroom having only nightstands and no dresser, there was no countertop to put anything. The 3rd bed changes our overall rating from a 4/5 to a 3 as a good rest is important.

Tofino retreat

We were looking for a space away from the hustle and bustle of people to relax and rejuvenate and this was an awesome place to do that from. The caretaker was 'invisible' as were the neighbors. It was quiet and the view on the bay felt like it belonged to us and us alone despite there being other properties looking onto it as well. We like to cook so we really appreciated the professional kitchen. We wouldn't hesitate to return another day!
