Amazing Water View

We were able to walk all over Tofino to shops and restaurants. We then came back to all the conveniences of home. I loved sitting and watching the tide gently come in.

Lovely spot!

A great place to stay to enjoy Tofino. Unit is a bachelor pad with all that you need including a balcony to sit on and enjoy the waterfront view. You can see the mountains and enjoy marine life swimming by. There is a wonderful bakery on site that couldn't be more convenient or delicious. Our only issue was that it was a little difficult to get in and out of the jacuzzi tub to take a shower. A little awkward but that was the only thing.
