A pleasant stay

Our stay at Cox Bay Retreat was very pleasant. It was quiet, fairly private, well located and well organized. I would however make a few suggestions namely that the dishwasher be fixed (the bottom rack does not roll out well at all), alternative comforters could be in the room for people sensitive to down. Our master bedroom had only one bath towel. Beds were on the soft side, we prefer firm beds. Communications and directions were very clear and timely.

It was an Awesome Stay at Cox Bay Retreat

We booked the Cox Bay Retreat for the weekend that our son was getting married just down the road at Long Beach Lodge Resort. The location was perfect. Easy to find and also close to downtown. The property itself was wonderful, there is a great beach walk just down from the property. Across the main road is a path for biking, walking and hiking. The house had everything we needed. Nice big bathrooms. Cozy, comfortable beds and linens. It was a nice and quiet location. We would rent here again. The staff from the property management company were excellent and didn't miss a beat from the time we booked until the time we checked out.

Perfect Tofino Getaway

This was a three generation family vacation. Myself with two adult daughters and a four year old granddaughter. The location was beyond our expectations - just minutes from Cox Bay down a groomed path leading right to the beach. It was well appointed with plush towels, robes, tv, kitchen supplies etc etc etc. Would go again and highly recommend you try it.

Beautiful home steps away from Cox Bay

We had a group of six and all of us felt great in the three rooms. It was great to cook in the kitchen and the bbq on the deck. Comfortable to gather in doors or have dinner on the table outside. Washer and dryer were useful for us. The only downside was the hot tub powered off both nights as we tried to use the hot tub. Caretakers were quick to fix the issue when notified but it happened shortly after again. Still a 10/10 vacation home.

Amazing April

The beach was steps away, we hit perfect weather. The kitchen and living area was perfect for our group of 4, as well as the sunny deck. We appreciated the well stocked kitchen as we did not want to spend time looking for restaurants. Lots of stairs to the main floor but not a problem. Nice bedrooms and bathrooms.

We were very impressed with the property. It’s very family friendly with lots of room to be together. The beds were awesome! It was a short 5 minute walk to the beach and so nice to hear the waves at night. We rate it a 5 star!

Perfect Time in Tofino

This house was a perfect location for us to get to our day trips and hikes and beach. One of the nicest and well equipped rental properties we have stayed at. The hot tub and cozy robes made it feel like a resort experience, but at the same time it had the comforts of home. Hope to return someday!

Cox Bay Retreat - Fantastic Location, Great House

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cox Bay Retreat. The location was perfect for what we had hoped to accomplish during this trip. Over the course of several days, we walked to and spent time at Cox Bay Beach, which is only a few minutes away! We drove to several great hiking trails near Tofino and Ucluelet. There was plenty of room for all of us, and we spent our time unwinding in the kitchen, living room area, and the hot tub (of course!). I cannot say enough wonderful things about the folks in Tofino. This was one the best trips our family has had because of the people who live there, beginning with the property owners - they’re fantastic! Tofino Vacation Rentals was attentive and responsive, and of course, the friendly folks at Tofino and Ucluelet are one of a kind. Our family would happily stay at Cox Bay Retreat again - no doubt!

The rental accommodation was excellent in all respects. The rooms were spacious, beds were very comfortable and everything operated well. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The property was spacious with two bedrooms downstairs and one up. The bathrooms, upstairs and down were fully equipped with shower and bath. The kitchen and living room upstairs were also a good size and fully equipped. The hot tub outside was kept heated throughout the day. The beach was an easy five minute walk and extended for miles in either direction. We had an excellent experience.

A weekend away

We had a great stay at the Cox Bay retreat. The place was super clean and lots of room for my husband and I, our two adult boys and their girlfriends. The kitchen was well stocked for all our cooking needs, we loved the spa like bathrooms, a great surf board rack with a hose to rinse off the gear and it was nice to be so close to the beach. A few minutes down the path and you are there. Highly recommend this place! We will be back :)

Beautiful location and house

The house is lovely and far better equipped than most rentals. The location is fantastic: closer to the beach than we had expected (it’s really close) but it still feels private and peaceful. Easy communication with the property managers. We would stay again in a heartbeat. We never felt crowded — even with four adults, two kids, and a dog. Good outside space and surf board rack.
