Beautiful spot with everything we needed

Fernwood was perfect for our stay, housing 3 couples very confortably. The fully equipped kitchen was perfect for cooking for our large group, the hot tube was great and the living room was cozy. You can walk to the beach in 5 minutes through a quiet neighborhood and drive into Tofino in less than 10 minutes. I would absolutely stay here again.

Great property

This is a great property. The only recommendation I would have is to have a railing for the outside steps. They are slippery when wet and my husband who is 77;fell. Also a grab bat in shower would be helpful. Otherwise this is excellent… It is hard to find accessible property here and my husband has Parkinson’s yet we still like to travel. I like how private the bedroom areas feel

This property was perfect for our family. It’s a short 5 min walk to Chestermna beach and close to all the amnesties that Tofino has to offer. The property managers were very easy to communicate and checked in lots. We have already rebooked for next year.

Wonderful Tofino Stay!

We had a 2 night stay with 2 adults and 3 teens. The home was comfortably furnished and had all of the amenities we needed and more! We lived the 3 bedrooms and the beds and linens were very comfy! Having 2 bathrooms is a must with teens and they were very nice. The hot tub was an added bonus, especially after a day of surfing. The proximity to Chesterman Beach and a few restaurants and stores was also a big bonus! Would love to stay here again!

We had a wonderful 4 days while staying at Fernwood. The location was great - 5 minutes to Chesterman beach and 10 minutes walking to the local coffee shop. The house itself was clean and the beds very comfortable. There were ample supplies in the kitchen to allow for easy meal prep. Definitely would recommend this place to others!

Wonderful stay!

We had an amazing time at Fernwood by the Sea. The home was clean, spacious & well stocked. Beds & furniture were comfy & the outdoor shower, surfboard racks & hottub were great!! My surfing son was pretty happy. It was about a 5 min walk to Chesterman beach & although it was pouring rain it was still an amazing walk on the beach. LOVED every minute of our stay. Thank you so much for your awesome communication during our stay. I was confident if we had an issues they would have been taken care of immediately but happy to say that wasn't necessary. I will definitely be staying at Fernwood by the Sea again & will recommend to family & friends. Thank you so much.

Private and close to Chesterman Beach

Four of us stayed at this property, and it was perfect for us. It was only a block to what we think is one of the finest beaches, and there were a few restaurants, coffee shops and a small grocery within easy walking distance. The kitchen is large and the open plan very spacious. There is living room seating for five, and a hot tub that was large enough for the four of us. This property is not cheap, but is in line with typical prices charged at similar properties in the area. We would return for sure.

Thanks for the great stay!

Fernwood by the Sea was lovely a few steps to the beach and a lovely private hot tub for warming up and watching birds in the forest understory. Well equipped kitchen with BBQ on the patio for grilling fresh seafood. Very quiet spot that we would visit again and next time bring surfboards to make use of the racks and drying space for wetsuits!
