This cottage is the perfect place to spend a Vancouver Island getaway, featuring a private deck nestled in the forest with a new hot tub located at the back of the cottage amongst the old growth trees.

Upstairs sits a quaint bedroom with a king-size bed and a large window to view the beautiful old-growth forest. The main floor has the second bedroom with another king-size bed and a TV perfect for a film night on a rainy day.

Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the peaceful and charming cottage and found it a convenient base for exploring the area. It was a pleasure hosting you, and I’d love to welcome you back!
Nice quiet place with comfortable beds. We appreciated the Tofino coffee provided and tea. We had some water pressure issues during our stay, but we understand it wasn’t under the owner control. Hot tub at night was a real enjoyment.
Thank you so much for your kind review. I’m really glad you noticed the care taken to keep everything clean and well maintained. It was a pleasure hosting you, and you’re always welcome back anytime.
The cabin was amazing, so cute and quaint. The hot tub was clean and well maintained.
The couch and beds were not that comfortable mind you, my daughter and I both left with back pain lol but other than that, an amazing time!

A cozy place to stay
The house is very cozy and the kitchen especially well equipped. Every evening we enjoyed the comfort of the hot tub.
Good stay in a lovely, quiet area. Had some issues with plumbing from the previous tenants but the staff were very responsive and got it fixed quickly. Would definitely visit again.

All communications from beginning to end were fantastic, the cabin was spacious, clean and well equipped. The hot tub was secluded and partially sheltered which was great even in the rain.

We spent the last third of our 9 day Vanc And Vanc Island trip at the cottage and it was such a great place to round things out. The cottage was super comfortable, quiet, and stocked with everything we needed and then some.

Beautiful little cabin with all the amenities you could need for a quick getaway. We had a wonderful time catching up in the cozy living room, taking the dogs for a walk to nearby beaches, and finishing every night in the hot tub!

Hi Michael,
Thank you for the review, we're very glad to hear you enjoyed all that Florenicai Bay Cottage has to offer!
This little cabin is tucked into the woods right off the highway. I was worried about the sound, but with the big trees and breeze, it was fine. Perfect spot for exploring Florencia Bay and Half Moon Bay, with the trail just a few meters away. Also good launching place for both Ucluelet and Tofino. My teens and young adult children loved it!
