This is a first class property in a private secluded location with a gorgeous view. It’s perfect for parties of 6 like ours, with 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. The property is extremely well equipped and maintained. If you are looking for a quiet private getaway close to Tofino this property is for you. The Stellar Bluejay pictured became very friendly over our one week stay, we all hated to leave and wished we had booked 2 weeks on Jensens Bay

Tofino Experience

I came from Ontario to visit family on the island but also wanted to see Tofino. I chose Jensen's Bay Retreat as it looked so inviting by reading all about it and viewing the pictures. It definitely did not disappoint us. The place was spacious with a kitchen stocked with all the necessary dishes, utensils, pots, bowls, etc. You could see the tide go in and out whether you were inside or outside on the back deck or in the hot tub where it was so peaceful. I highly recommend this location as it was a short drive to Tofino or a short walk to Chesterman Beach.

The setting of this property couldn’t be more beautiful. It has quite a calm Zen feel to it. with the full-size kitchen it was easy to cook. We spent a lot of time just relaxing on the deck looking at the view. Just a 10 minute walk to Chesterman Beach.

Wow! Stayed here a couple days after new years. What an amazing view. Very close walk to Chesterman beach which is a to do. We saw pretty much every beach in and around Tofino and Ucluelet. All very unique and different beaches. We brought our own food and what an amazing kitchen to cook in! You will not be disappointed! Thank you TVR!!!!

Comfortable home with views

Definitely five stars! Hot tub was clean, beds are comfortable, and everything you’d need in the kitchen was there. The views of the bay are lovely. Note there are thick hedges between the backyard and water so it’s not really water access. But the views are lovely. Recommended!

Beautiful family vacation

The house was amazing, the photos do not show how large it actually is. The kitchen was well equipped (we did a lot of cooking) and we found everything we needed. The beds and bedding were very comfortable and we all loved all the soap products. We walked to South Chesterman (with kiddos) and it was a short drive to the other beaches. The hot tub was lovely! A wonderful stay!
