Enjoyed the great water view and hot tub. The home is well stocked and plenty of room for the 6 adults in our party. Love the location as within minutes of Chesterman beach and a small drive to Tofino or long beach. A wonderful stay and would highly recommend booking. The hosts are friendly and communicate well. You will be well looked after!
A lovely, quiet, scenic location that's a 15 minute walk to Chesterman Beach. Well equipped and exactly as expected - we'll be back! Danielle and the Tofino Vacation Rentals team were very helpful - thank you!

A Great Spot
We really enjoyed ourselves. The place was spotlessly clean and supplied with everything. The views to the lagoon featured from every room. Hot Tub was hot and steamy. Fire pit was a great addition (we brought our own wood). A quick 10 minute walk to Chesterman for beach walks and surfing. Thanks again
Great stay. Only minor downside was the defective BBQ.

Fantastic Time!
We loved everything about Jensen's Bay Retreat! It was private and beautifully decorated, with a fully equipped kitchen. The outdoor area was wonderful! Danielle and the staff were always available if we needed something. Jackie was wonderful before the trip about restaurant and activity ideas. We highly recommend booking with Tofino Vacation Rentals!
Beautiful property with an ocean view, plenty of space for a family of 4, great service from Tofino Vacation Rentals. Highly recommended.

The house we stayed in was great. It had a fantastic view of the bay with an incredible changing tide. The property was very quiet, secluded and private.
I would highly recommend this location for anyone looking for a getaway to Tofino.

Beautiful, functional and comfortable
We had an incredible stay at this well appointed home in Tofino. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, making it beautiful, functional and comfortable for guests of all ages—perfect for our multigenerational family getaway. Communication with TVR was top notch- prompt and responsive. The views are absolutely breathtaking, like stepping into a painting no matter the weather. Whether we were sipping coffee while watching the mist roll in or gathering together for dinner, every moment felt special. The location strikes the perfect balance—private and peaceful, yet just a short walk or drive to all that Tofino has to offer. We hope to come back!

Beautiful home and view🥰
Arriving at Jensen’s Bay Retreat was a wonderful surprise. It was so tastefully decorated with everything we could imagine. We enjoyed relaxing on the deck and looking at the magnificent view of the ocean and mountains. The hot tub and evening camp fires were extra special, too. We would definitely recommend this property.
This is a first class property in a private secluded location with a gorgeous view. It’s perfect for parties of 6 like ours, with 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. The property is extremely well equipped and maintained. If you are looking for a quiet private getaway close to Tofino this property is for you. The Stellar Bluejay pictured became very friendly over our one week stay, we all hated to leave and wished we had booked 2 weeks on Jensens Bay

We enjoyed the lovely living space and surroundings. It was quiet and relaxing and the local area also provided many activities for those that wanted to pursue them (biking, surfing etc.) We would certainly enjoy coming to stay again in the future.
Our stay was great. Amazing place with amazing views. If you are looking for a quiet place to relax, this is it. Highly recommend.

Great stay!
Lovely large space with views out over the inlet and room for us all to sit and enjoy the fire on a cold and wet day. Well equipped kitchen and a nice dining area. We especially enjoyed having a bedroom and bathroom each. Easy drive to the beaches and town.
