About this house rental

Situated in Tofino, this attractive house for $828 per night is a fantastic choice for your next break. South Swell (formerly Blue Heron Guest House) is a 3 bedroom custom built home overlooking Jensen's Bay in Tofino. Exceptional wood detailing, skylights, vaulted ceilings, private hot tub and gas fireplace. An inlet waterfront retreat situated on 1.5 acres overlooking Jensen's Bay. Directly across from South Chesterman Beach, Jensen's Bay is a significant flyway for migratory birds. A seating area at water's edge is a great place enjoy a quiet cup of coffee in the early morning and a perfect vantage point for sighting eagles, herons and other bird species. Occasionally you may spot a bear foraging across the tidal flats. Towering cedars complement the property. Other wood was milled and transformed into the home's posts and beams. Chesterman Beach is ideally located a 5 minute walk for surfing, beach combing, dog walks or an early evening stroll to take in the iconic West Coast sunsets. Tofino is 5km away and accessed by road or a well maintained, paved multi-use pathway. The path connects Tofino and the town of Ucluelet and provides ready access to beaches and Pacific Rim National Park. Just up the road (1184 Pacific Rim Hwy) is a collection of shops for groceries, yoga, surf rentals, great local food (Wildside Grill & Tacofino), coffee/espresso/baked goods (The Tofitian) and chocolate .....Tofino style. The town of Tofino is a short drive (5 km) so a car would be ideal. In summer, a free (and surfboard friendly!) shuttle service runs between Tofino and Cox Bay. You can hop on and off at several points along the route, including 2 stops close by. This rental is perfect for a quiet retreat or family vacation - ideally suited for 4-6 guests.

This is the best VRBO we’ve ever stayed in. The home was clean, welcoming, very attractive and organized. The kitchen is extremely well equipped- there’s a global knife set for example and lots of coffee making gear including an espresso machine. There were lots of spices, olive oil and coffee in the cupboard. The bedrooms are all large and lovely. This meant that none of our group drew the short straw on which bedroom they got for the stay. We didn’t use the hot tub but it’s situated beside the house tucked into the woods and along the salal path to the waterfront. At the waters edge there are chairs to sit on to enjoy the view. The house is truly a 5 minute walk to the south end of Chesterman Beach and a short drive to town. We weren’t there to surf but if you were there’s everything you need to shower outside and take care of your boards and suits. There’s also a wagon to use to pull your heavy gear to the beach. There are towels and beach blankets ready to use too. Check-in and check out was easy as well as communicating with the owner. We recommend this house for your stay in Tofino and next time will stay longer than 4 nights.

Our host Kelly was fantastic.. the house is lovely and comfortable with great amenities. The kitchen very well stocked for those who like to cook. Comfy bedrooms. Everything was great. Christmas and New year with us and our 3 kids was just perfect. A very short walk to Chesterman beach.. . And a very short car ride to town. Highly recommend .

What an amazing place! Located such a short walk away from arguably the most beautiful beach in Tofino, this house is spectacular. It had everything our family needed to have a wonderful visit - a fully stocked kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, beautiful decor, and it was all sparkling clean. Our hosts were communicative and so friendly, and their recommendations were all top notch! I could not recommend this home more strongly - we will definitely be going back!
