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.



Location, Location, Location

You’re just across the road from Mackenzie Beach and within walking distance to some of Tofino’s best eateries and shops. The multi-use path is right outside your door, making it easy to bike or stroll 1 km to Chesterman Beach or 3 km into city centre Tofino for even more restaurants, boutiques, and galleries.





***On-Site Caretaker Suite – Tofino Bylaw: Please note that, in accordance with Tofino Bylaws for licensed holiday rentals, a long-term tenant resides on the property in a separate caretaker suite. This requirement helps support the local community by ensuring that long-term housing remains available for people who live and work in Tofino. Guests have full and private access to the entire holiday rental they have booked. The only shared area is the driveway/parking area. The caretaker has their own separate living space, so guests can still enjoy the privacy and comfort of the holiday rental throughout their stay. This tenant lives in a home behind the holiday rental.





Highlighted Amenities:

- Covered outdoor dining area and lounge space with a cosy propane fire table

- BBQ for year-round grilling

-Fully stocked essentials including shampoo, conditioner, and body wash provided for your stay

- In-floor heating throughout and a warm propane fireplace inside

- Two dedicated on-site parking spots for your convenience

- Built in 2021 — everything feels fresh, modern, and thoughtfully maintained

- Washing machine and dryer available for guest use. Please note this is not a full-sized laundry room, but rather a smaller space tucked under the stairs — perfect for light loads, though not intended as a large dedicated laundry area.

*****A few key notes before you decide to book:

This modern home is filled with natural light and features large windows throughout the living spaces, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. Please note that several windows do not have window coverings, making this home best suited for guests who enjoy lots of natural light and are comfortable with limited privacy in the living room, kitchen, and patio areas.

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.

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.

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!

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.
