Amazing stay steps from Cox Bay Beach.

We had a fantastic stay exploring Tofino and hitting the waves. The place was incredibly well-equipped - a great kitchen and beautiful bathrooms. We loved the hot tub and location.

Cox Bay Retreat

House was just as described and communication was great with Danielle. Walk to the beach was much shorter than we anticipated, which was a pleasant surprise having a 4 and 8 year old. We appreciated the wagon supplied to cart our items back and forth. Would have liked to have a table to dine at inside, but other than that it was a lovely stay.

Beautiful location and house

The house is lovely and far better equipped than most rentals. The location is fantastic: closer to the beach than we had expected (it’s really close) but it still feels private and peaceful. Easy communication with the property managers. We would stay again in a heartbeat. We never felt crowded — even with four adults, two kids, and a dog. Good outside space and surf board rack.

Cox Bay Retreat - Fantastic Location, Great House

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cox Bay Retreat. The location was perfect for what we had hoped to accomplish during this trip. Over the course of several days, we walked to and spent time at Cox Bay Beach, which is only a few minutes away! We drove to several great hiking trails near Tofino and Ucluelet. There was plenty of room for all of us, and we spent our time unwinding in the kitchen, living room area, and the hot tub (of course!). I cannot say enough wonderful things about the folks in Tofino. This was one the best trips our family has had because of the people who live there, beginning with the property owners - they’re fantastic! Tofino Vacation Rentals was attentive and responsive, and of course, the friendly folks at Tofino and Ucluelet are one of a kind. Our family would happily stay at Cox Bay Retreat again - no doubt!

A pleasant stay

Our stay at Cox Bay Retreat was very pleasant. It was quiet, fairly private, well located and well organized. I would however make a few suggestions namely that the dishwasher be fixed (the bottom rack does not roll out well at all), alternative comforters could be in the room for people sensitive to down. Our master bedroom had only one bath towel. Beds were on the soft side, we prefer firm beds. Communications and directions were very clear and timely.

It was an Awesome Stay at Cox Bay Retreat

We booked the Cox Bay Retreat for the weekend that our son was getting married just down the road at Long Beach Lodge Resort. The location was perfect. Easy to find and also close to downtown. The property itself was wonderful, there is a great beach walk just down from the property. Across the main road is a path for biking, walking and hiking. The house had everything we needed. Nice big bathrooms. Cozy, comfortable beds and linens. It was a nice and quiet location. We would rent here again. The staff from the property management company were excellent and didn't miss a beat from the time we booked until the time we checked out.

Perfect Tofino Getaway

This was a three generation family vacation. Myself with two adult daughters and a four year old granddaughter. The location was beyond our expectations - just minutes from Cox Bay down a groomed path leading right to the beach. It was well appointed with plush towels, robes, tv, kitchen supplies etc etc etc. Would go again and highly recommend you try it.

Beautiful home steps away from Cox Bay

We had a group of six and all of us felt great in the three rooms. It was great to cook in the kitchen and the bbq on the deck. Comfortable to gather in doors or have dinner on the table outside. Washer and dryer were useful for us. The only downside was the hot tub powered off both nights as we tried to use the hot tub. Caretakers were quick to fix the issue when notified but it happened shortly after again. Still a 10/10 vacation home.

Amazing April

The beach was steps away, we hit perfect weather. The kitchen and living area was perfect for our group of 4, as well as the sunny deck. We appreciated the well stocked kitchen as we did not want to spend time looking for restaurants. Lots of stairs to the main floor but not a problem. Nice bedrooms and bathrooms.
