Comfy and close to the beach!

Lots of room for my husband and I, our two teenagers, as well as the in-laws and our pup. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location was great! We were able to surf at North Chesterman and then walk back to the house (5min) to warm up. Hot tub was clean and hot, furniture was comfortable, and the kitchen was well-stocked. We used the bbq, and the pool table was a fun bonus. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

Ample space and amenities in prime location

We liked the ample living area and good kitchen, with two dishwashers being useful. Well equipped, though we could have used more crockery (bowls and coffee mugs) and tumblers. Good wifi, and the pool table is fun. It took a while to figure out the somewhat odd lighting system. Easy to keep the place clean thanks to hardwood floors. Short walk to the beach, so you don't have to look and pay for parking. Overall a very good experience.

Family holiday

Very nice property but needs some cleaning attention. Baseboards, window sills etc. were dusty, carpets need shampooing, hot tub jets not working and drain in master tub rusty. Other than that much enjoyed by all. As a tip, cord of firewood would be nice for guests to use in fire pit. Beds very comfortable. Would come again.

Fantastic property on the best beach in Tofino

Our group had yet another great stay at Pacifica in Tofino. The host was awesome and ensured that everything was in place for an amazing West Coast experience. Perfect for easy access to the beach and the surf. Can’t wait for our next visit. Highly recommend

Thanksgiving Family Getaway

This was our second time staying at this property, a moments walk to Chesterman Beach. The house had lots of room, almost everything we needed (I brought a teapot this time, and left it behind for the next time!). The oven could use a good cleaning, but overall, the cleanliness was great. Thanksgiving is a time for being together and counting our blessings—no better way to do that than spending time eating and playing together in Tofino. We will absolutely stay again.

Pacifica, Aaaahhhhh!

Pacifica was just as the photos had shown it to be and the walk to Chesterman Beach was just as short as it had been said to be. All five of us (four of us for Oct 4 - 8; one flew via seaplane and joined us for one night) and our two dogs thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Pacifica with close proximity to the beach and the Pacific Ocean's surf. One disappointment was that the hot tub did NOT work. We'd anticipated using the hot tub, but were told via a written note upon arriving that there was a problem with temp control, that they were trying to resolve the issue, but please do NOT touch the temp control. In other words, the hot tub does NOT work right now. A second, slightly lesser disappointment was that we could NOT turn on the gas fireplace for an evening's coziness--none of the wall switches produced a positive response, and we thought that the pilot light had maybe been turned off purposefully. Would we return? YES! The rooms at Pacifica, the large table in the dining area, the overstuffed, comfortable chairs and sofas, the comfortable beds, the wood of the interior, TWO dishwashers, AND the close proximity to the beach--all could be strong reasons to return to Pacifica!

Milestone Birthday Celebrations

This was the perfect location for three couples looking for a place to celebrate (quietly) milestone birthdays for three of our group. Being within a five-minute walk to Chesterman Beach for us to walk and the dogs to run was fabulous. The house was immaculate, and it was great for each couple to have their own full bathroom. We were pleasantly surprised by the sizable number of dishes, glasses, cutlery, cooking utensils, and pots and pans. When six people stay in a house, it's great to have plenty of dishes. Having two dishwashers was an absolute treat. Fred was a great host. He responded quickly to all the questions we had before and during our stay. The only reason we did not give the property five stars as an overall rating is that the propane supplier did not properly manage the amount of propane in the tank, and we ran out of propane early on day 4 of the six days we were there. That meant we could not use the BBQ, the gas cooktop, or the fireplace. Fred did everything he could to get the propane tank filled but was not successful. Notwithstanding the issue with the propane, we had a great time, would stay here again, and would definitely recommend Fred's house.

Great Tofino house for families

This house was great! It is so close to Chesterman Beach with the beach access being right at the corner. The house is spacious and comfortable, the kitchen stocked with all your needs (gas range for those who love to cook) and the bedrooms are comfortable and clean. Actually the whole place was spotless. Check-in is easy and any instructions for garbage and compost are clear. I highly recommend this VRBO.

Awesome family vacation at Fred’s house

This is our third time staying at this beautiful home near Chesterman Beach in Tofino. The house is lovely, well stocked, and is comfortable, with plenty of room for all of us. The convenient proximity to Chesterman Beach, just a short walk less than 2 minutes away, is what we love most of all about staying here.

Wonderful home near the beach

We stayed for 3 days in November - with my husband and 2 adult kids with their partners. We made turkey dinner and the kitchen was well stocked. It even had 2 dishwashers! The house was spacious and had a large dining table that seats 8 easily. It was fun to have the pool table too! It was great to be so close to the beach too. We all definitely recommend it!

Thank you for the wonderful stay at your home. Our family had the most lovely weekend. We have been vacationing in Tofino once/twice a year for almost two decades. This home is definitely one of our favorites on North. The location is perfect, kitchen is well stocked, bedrooms are comfortable and the boys enjoyed the pool table and hot tub in the evening.

Fantastic house in perfect location

Fred’s place was just perfect for our extended family of 3 couples and 2 little ones under age 2. We walked the 1/2 block to the beach multiple times a day. The Live to Surf shop and more importantly the chocolate shop were a short 10 minute walk away. The only time we used our car was to pick up fabulous pizzas at Basic Goodness Pizza. Thanks, Fred! We’ll be back next year for another memorable family vacation.

About the host

Hosted by Fred Scott

Host profile image
Engineer and builder, love for wood and post + beam construction. I personally designed, engineered and constructed the house in 2002 as a vacation home.

The result was better than my dreams.

Why they chose this property

I love the tall trees on the property, and the proximity to the best beach in Canada (yes I am biased) is the draw for me. I built several other houses in the neighborhood, but this one is my favorite!

What makes this property unique

PACIFICA is geared for relaxation, something all of us need! The proximity to the beach, hot tub, pool table, 65" tv and hammock will draw you in, and hopefully bring you back.
