Cautious with the path as it can be steep for the less mobile. Seasonally there is a great outdoor couch, table and hammock set up outside. We say seasonally as it rains a lot in Tofino and the yard is not covered! There are six comfortable Adirondack chairs down by the beach fire pit year round. Bring your paddle boards and check the tides - go straight from the house to the water and explore the area. Safety first - wear your life jacket and tell someone you are headed out. The ocean is mighty and is active with boats and currents. Paddle boarding in the ocean is quite different than a lake. There is a fire pit but please bring your own wood or can be purchased from the owner if given notice. In the summer there is often a fire ban. Please follow seasonal bylaws. There is an herb garden you can use by the hot tub; rosemary, thyme, lavender, bay leaf. SAUNA New in Jan 2023 we have a cedar barrel sauna with wood stove.

FAMILY FRIENDLY There is a playpen, gate for the stairs, high chair, books, stool and kids cutlery, plates and cups. Parking There is parking for 2 cars and an EV charger. Important house notes - The house is on septic, so it's important to only flush toilet paper. Flushing other items will clog the pump and result in an expensive repair. - There is no laundry facility on site. - Long term tenant lives on site in a private space as per the Tofino Bylaw. You share the driveway. She appreciates her privacy and will give you yours. The front yard of the house leading to the beach is private and all yours.

Wow, what a great stay. Erika's home is even more beautiful than in the photos and the location was great. We were walking distance to restaurants, coffee, etc. but the house was so quiet. We loved the sauna with the view out the back, we visited to celebrate my birthday and I started a new decade with the sauna and a cold plunge in the morning. Erika was flexible and her communication was great, we thoroughly enjoyed meeting her and staying in her lovely home. 10/10 would stay again!

I could not possibly be more pleased with our experience at this home. The location was perfect, right on the ocean, with an amazing woodfired, sauna, and hot tub. The owner was extremely communicative, and added so many special touches to the property, which made such a big difference for us. The beds are so comfortable, tons of natural light, and lots of cookware, which was great, because we were able to cozy up and stay home! I can’t wait to book this place again, I would highly recommend to anyone looking for that perfect Tofino getaway.

This is a great property with a fantastic location just outside "downtown" Tofino. It met all of our expectations. Our host was outstanding and a good communicator. We would definitely stay here again if we're able to get back to Tofino.

This cottage worked out well for our family. The open main floor with huge windows looking over the water was spectacular. Erika was very easy to communicate with and our stay was special.

Our road trip vacation included several stops throughout BC, but after visiting Tofino we will need to plan a vacation that focuses on just Tofino next time. First Light makes an excellent place to stay with your family. Beautiful views/location and the house itself is beautiful.
