About this property
Moniker Beach House close to beaches + shops
Moniker Beach House (IG @stay.moniker) This bright, modern 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home is perfectly located just across the street from beautiful Mackenzie Beach and only steps away from iconic local favourites like Tacofino, Chocolate Tofino, and Tofitian Coffee. Whether you're here to surf, relax, or explore, this stylish and comfortable home offers the ideal base for your Tofino adventure.
The Space: Designed with contemporary coastal living in mind, this home is filled with natural light, clean lines, and a warm modern feel. Floor-to-ceiling windows (with no blinds in some areas) open the kitchen and living space to a covered outdoor patio, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor experience that can be enjoyed year-round — even during stormy West Coast days.
The kitchen is a chef’s dream — fully equipped and thoughtfully designed with plenty of prep space, modern appliances, and a quartz island where friends and family can gather while meals are being prepared.
The layout is ideal for two couples or small groups, featuring one bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor with a walk-in rain shower, and a second bedroom and bathroom upstairs complete with a luxurious soaker tub.
Situated on a corner lot surrounded by large trees, the home offers a beautiful natural setting. However, due to the location and minimal window coverings, privacy in the main living, kitchen, and patio areas is limited. This home is best suited for guests who appreciate bright, open spaces and lots of natural light.

Incredible stay
We had an incredible stay at Moniker beach house - it was extremely clean and had everything we needed, every detail was attended to. Check-in and communication with the management company was seamless, they were very kind and attentive. Highly recommend!
Having a fireplace to keep cozy on chilly nights was lovely. We also appreciated the thoughtful touches such as starter coffee, umbrellas, shopping bags, and beach towels. We made good use of the outdoor covered area to eat and connect. The residence is 5 min from all of the major shops and walking distance to two main beaches.

Moniker beach house was an incredible home base for our stay in Tofino. The house is modern, bright, and very welcoming. It’s a short walk away from Mackenzie beach which seemed to be calmest waters of all the main beaches. It’s also a short walk away from “Outside Break” which is a collection of small businesses including coffee shop, chocolate / gelato, burgers, tacos, bike rentals, surf rentals, and more.Tofino is amazing, and our stay at Moniker Beach House made it even better.

Comfortable well equipped house has all you need with a nice gas fireplace.
The new Moniker beach house was very clean and everything was in great condition. It was as described in the listing and lived up to our expectations. The heated floors were a great comfort as we stayed during an atmospheric River and the weather outside was chilly and stormy. It was a short 5 minute drive to fantastic restaurants and beautiful beaches. We'll definitely be back but in the summer next time.

Our stay at Moniker Beach House was wonderful.
Moniker Beach House had everything we could have wished for to make our stay wonderful. Moniker Beach House was very clean, fire place and fire pit were a very pleasant surprise and greatly appreciated. The area is quiet and private, close to the beaches and downtown. We wished we could have stayed longer. The downstairs bedroom and bathroom was great for Grandma who is 101 years old and we enjoyed having our own bedroom and bathroom upstairs. We loved the open concept of the kitchen and family area, nice and bright with all of the high windows. We plan on returning for a longer stay.
Attractive, comfortable, clean and new. Enjoyed the walkable location. The windows bring the outside in, but with some loss of privacy and a bit chilly in the winter until the in-floor heating gets going! Helpful host.

The home is situated among many tall trees, so the windows provide a lovely treehouse-like feeling. We’re so glad you enjoyed the space and hope to host you again another time.
This was a terrific house in a great location.Very comfortable and clean, and the property manager was very responsive.We were a two minute walk from two fun food, spots, gelato, a small market, coffee shop, and bike rentals. The house is just off the bike path and a two minute ride to Chesterman Beach, which is spectacular. The drive to town was less than 10 minutes. Tofino is a magical place!

I’m really happy to hear you had such a great stay and enjoyed both the house and the location. It would be a pleasure to host you again on your next trip to Tofino.
The house was beautiful and modern and just a few minutes drive from downtown Tofino. Very well-maintained and clean throughout. Danielle and her team kept us informed and answered all of our questions quickly, and even let us know when the house was ready for an early check-in. It wasn’t quite as “across the street” from the beach as I expected, but it was less than a 10-minute walk.

Lovely house with beautiful furnishings. Shared drive with another property but feels private. Walkable to the beach and easy access by car or shuttle bus to Tofino. Highly recommend.
