***Fred Tibbs Rental Condominiums**
THE SEASHELL: The building is named after Fred Tibbs, an eccentric British pioneer who arrived in 1905. He purchased a small island off the Tofino shore, calling it 'Dream Island.' According to local folklore, Tibbs was known to climb to the top of a lone spruce tree on his island and play his clarinet, a charmingly unique figure in Tofino's history.
This cozy STUDIO apartment, situated on the first floor of a charming building in downtown Tofino, offers stunning ocean views and convenient accessibility. Ideal for couples or solo travelers, the space features a fully stocked kitchen, perfect for preparing meals or enjoying your morning coffee while soaking in the beautiful scenery.
Relax in the well-appointed bathroom, which includes a luxurious soaker tub—perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration. The propane fireplace adds a touch of warmth and ambiance, making this studio a delightful retreat year-round.
