Beautiful property with a great view and access to the beach. Hot tub and sauna were perfect. The house was beautiful and fully stocked with everything. The beds were super comfy and all the rooms were beautifully decorated. Heated toilet seat and floor in the downstairs bathroom was a big bonus. We all loved this home and will be back!!

Our family stay at Surfside Lodge in Tofino was exceptional, featuring fantastic amenities and a warm welcome.

From the moment we arrived, Surfside Lodge made us feel right at home with a thoughtful gift that showcased their attention to detail. The hosts regularly checked in to ensure everything was perfect and were always easy to reach. The spacious and beautifully designed house was equipped with everything we needed, from a fully stocked kitchen (including air fryer!) to cozy living areas that were perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The fantastic sand/mud room was especially great for our family, providing a convenient space to clean up after beach days and outdoor adventures. The breathtaking views of the surrounding nature and proximity to the beach added to the charm, making it easy to unwind and enjoy the serene atmosphere. Overall, it was an ideal retreat, allowing us to create wonderful memories during our time in Tofino. Highly recommend!
