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.

Amazing Property!!!
My family and I stayed at Cathy's property during the Family Day long weekend - I will tell you this property does not disappoint! The accommodations were perfect with ocean views from every room. The family room/kitchen/dining area is huge and sooooo cozy with the wood burning fireplace. The walk to the semi-private beach is just steps from the door (maybe 30) - beautiful sand and gorgeous views! The host was so responsive and helpful. One of our most memorable and fantastic vacations ever! Thank you Cathy!!!

Ocean views, peaceful, lovely property & host!
You can hear the ocean from the parking lot! Huge beautiful windows, your own private access to beach and firepit, wood burning fireplace, well stocked kitchen with thoughtful touches such as an open pantry, extremely comfortable beds, perfect layout, deck access from each bedroom, walking distance to Tofino, steps from Tonquin Beach trail...it was the perfect getaway for 4 adults. Peaceful. Exactly what we needed. Cathy is a delightful exemplary host providing excellent recommendations such as the Drift Cafe & our favorite: the Savary Pie Company, which you must try. The house has tasteful cottage features and decor. Cathy provides incredible value beyond expectation. And the sunsets were stunning. What a beautiful property. We can't wait to return soon!

About the host

Hosted by Cathy Thicke

Host profile image
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!)
