Spring Break Getaway 2025!

The house was ready for check in a couple hours early! Management was easy to text and communicate with for any questions. We enjoyed baking in the kitchen and using the wood burning fireplace in the living room. The shops, restaurants, and beaches are only a few minutes drive away. It’s a lovely area and the house is clean and comfortable! We would stay here again. :)

Amazing place

The property is a beautiful setting for relaxation and just peace. We didn’t want to leave the house ! The open area downstairs space is just right for having quiet conversations and just simply being together. The beach is minutes away and we didn’t have to worry about the traffic that went that. The area is quiet with very little traffic. Thank you !!

A Treasure in Tofino

We had a great 3 night stay at Jensen's Bay Getaway. The home was modern and spacious with lots of windows. Though there is no water access, it is a wonderful place to relax and refresh. The beds were very comfy and there is an amazing collection of CDS and books to chill with. With the wood fire place, it would make a great spot to come storm watching. It is an easy walk to Chesterman beach and a 4 min drive to MacKenzie Beach. The bike trail is very handy. A return visit is definitely in the cards.

Enjoyed our stay

Large spacious rooms. Close to amenities and walking distance to beach. Everything as described on VRBO. Would suggest a few more hand towels, and coffee mugs and glasses. Otherwise fully stocked house with practically everything you’d need.

Stunning home, walking distance to Chesterman (our fav beach!)

The house is BEAUTIFUL. There was an amazing CD collection (creating much awe with my children!) and a great library. The property was private and very quiet. It's about a 1 km walk to Chesterman Beach. Great open concept and a well-stocked kitchen. We were very comfortable - it was hard to leave!

Lovely open floor plan, beautiful surroundings

We were grandparents, parents and two grandchildren. Very conveniently located for the Pacific Rim National Park, all the fabulous beaches and Tofino’s Skate Park, kayaking and boat trip. We were quite comfortable and had everything we needed. Communication re: a couple of minor things was excellent. We found more than enough to do for 8 days. Also enjoyed the Ucluelet Aquarium!

Long weekend w/ friends

The property was very clean and the communication with the property manager was great. The house is lovely and spacious and within good proximity to Tofino and a walk to chestermans beach. We had hoped that Jensen's bay would be accessible to get our kayaks in the water but it wasn't, I think we should have done more homework in that regard. Otherwise we had a good time.

Lovely house, great for families

This is a beautiful home, filled with an amazing CD collection, books, lots of communal space, fabulous kitchen, and all the things you need for little kiddos! I was so impressed that there were numerous high chairs, a crib, kids table and chairs upstairs. Our little crawler had lots of space to explore. The rooms are very spacious and could easily fit 6 people. Small view of the inlet, so we felt like we were kind of in the forest but still with lots of natural light.

Great private stay in the heart of Tofino

This is a lovely and spacious rental. We had 4 adults, 2 young children and dog in tow and there was plenty of room for us all to mingle yet also have space when needed. Comfortable sleeping arrangements. The kitchen was well equipped for home cooked meals, including cooking oil and some seasonings. And lots of lextras - 2 high chairs and booster seats; plus a magnificent book, CD and puzzle collection that we really enjoyed. Centrally located, the rental was a quick 5 minute drive to Chesterman Beach, and even closer to nearby coffee shop/ stores. We recommend this as a great spot for a group or family stay!
