A Great Stay

What a fantastic home and location. If you want a family, self-catering stay in Tofino then this is the place to stay. Clean, fully equipment and right on the beach. Cathy was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed. We would definately stay there again.

Just what we hoped for!

With so many scammers out there, I find it hard to trust by photo alone. The pictures and write up looked great, the reviews were awesome, but still I wasn't 100% sure. I was so pleased to discover that this rental was exactly as advertised! The rental space was beautiful and comfortable, perfect for the 6 of us. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. The view and the beach were everything we had hoped it would be. Located near downtown Tofino, although you would never know it, it was convenient to shopping and dining. We ate great food, had campfires, played at the beach with the kids, and slept like babies at the end of the day. I would rent this beautiful accommodation again in a heartbeat!

Old Friends Reunion

Our group of 5 women over 50 thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay at Tonquin Beach. The pocket beach in front of the house was a great place to explore tidal pools and watch for whales. We explored the town and beaches of Tofino and down to Ucluelet during the day and played cards by the fire at the house in the evenings. The house was spacious and the beds were 5 star. The house was clean and homey with a spectacular ocean view. Cathy was a great host and gave us fantastic advice on hiking trails, beaches, cafes, and restaurants. We enjoyed our 5 day stay at Tonquin Beach and recommend it with top reviews. Thank you, Cathy!

About the host

Hosted by Cathy Thicke

We bought our house in 1989, and began doing Bed and Breakfast in Tofino in 1990, as one of only 5 homes to do so. In 1998 we converted the main floor of the large house into a private vacation rental suite, allowing guests to share our experience of living 'on the beach'. My husband works at the hospital in Tofino, as a physician, and I serve on the District of Tofino Council, Tonquin Trail Committee, and the Clayoquot Biosphere Trust.

Why they chose this property

We chose this property for its 1.3 acre south and west facing beachfront, and its proximity to town and the local hospital! It is a very unique property, with two beaches, hiking trail, great kayaking, 'supping' opportunities, whale watching, breath-taking sunsets, and the best low tide viewing on the Tofino coastline. You can even surf on Tonquin Beach in the winter! The sunsets here are sublime!

What makes this property unique

Beach walking and the new Tonquin Trail through old growth rainforest and sandy beaches, SUP-ing, kayaking, fishing from beach ( June to September ), whale watching from the beach in front, surfing, storm-watching, trampoline on property, and wonderful food- Tofino has many Canadian culinary delights ! ( Sobo, Tacofino and Shelter are our favourites!)
