Between sandy Pacific Ocean beaches and the village of Tofino, our custom residence is a central "home base" for families and couples visiting Vancouver Island. Our family owned-and-operated guest house is at the edge of quiet, low-density residential area. We border the The Naa’Waya’Sum Gardens (Formerly The Tofino Botanical Gardens) on our north side, our own 60 foot cedar trees to the west, a quiet neighbour to the south, and view the edge of an 80-acre forest preserve and bird sanctuary across the street to the east. From our front porch, we frequently sight blue herons on the treetops, and bald eagles & osprey soaring above. Black bears, raccoons, and other wildlife are often close at hand. Up on "Summer Hill", enjoy cook-outs close to "home" at the picnic table (BBQ & crab cooker available) and stone fire-pit. Great for hot dogs, star watching on clear nights, and soaking up the sun on a warm day. Also, while we are making every effort to keep our suites clean, if you are sick or in a vulnerable category of the population, please consider postponing your visit. DOT BL#20240260
