COX BAY RETREAT is nestled in the forest and is a short 5-minute walk to the surfing paradise Cox Bay. This house is 3 bedroom with 2-full bathrooms and a wrap around deck, perfect for your morning coffee or afternoon relaxation. The kitchen and living area is an open concept with bar stools around the island great for socializing while you cook in.

Upstairs, you’ll find a full kitchen equipped with brand-new stainless steel appliances and a kitchen island that’s perfect for enjoying meals together. The cozy living room features a propane fireplace and a flat-screen TV, creating a warm and inviting space to relax after a day of exploring.
Just off the kitchen is a spacious primary bedroom with a king-size bed and a private en-suite bathroom. The en-suite includes a large soaker tub and a stand-up shower for the ultimate comfort. From the bedroom, you can step out onto a generous upper deck with ample seating and a dining table—ideal for bringing your indoor meals outdoors.

The second and third bedrooms are located on the first floor (entrance level). Both bedrooms offers a queen beds, making it perfect for families or groups. There is also a full bathroom with a standup shower and separate bathtub on the first floor.

Here, you can enjoy breathtaking ocean views, endless beach walks, and world-class waves right at your doorstep. A private path from the property leads you directly to the beach, only a short 3–5 minute walk away.

The area is peaceful and secluded, surrounded by lush rainforest, yet still only minutes from Tofino’s shops, cafés, restaurants, and all the conveniences of town. It’s the perfect balance of tranquility and accessibility.
