Beautiful bay view and great accommodation!

Enjoyed the great water view and hot tub. The home is well stocked and plenty of room for the 6 adults in our party. Love the location as within minutes of Chesterman beach and a small drive to Tofino or long beach. A wonderful stay and would highly recommend booking. The hosts are friendly and communicate well. You will be well looked after!

A Great Spot

We really enjoyed ourselves. The place was spotlessly clean and supplied with everything. The views to the lagoon featured from every room. Hot Tub was hot and steamy. Fire pit was a great addition (we brought our own wood). A quick 10 minute walk to Chesterman for beach walks and surfing. Thanks again

Fantastic Time!

We loved everything about Jensen's Bay Retreat! It was private and beautifully decorated, with a fully equipped kitchen. The outdoor area was wonderful! Danielle and the staff were always available if we needed something. Jackie was wonderful before the trip about restaurant and activity ideas. We highly recommend booking with Tofino Vacation Rentals!

Arriving at Jensen’s Bay Retreat was a wonderful surprise. It was so tastefully decorated with everything we could imagine. We enjoyed relaxing on the deck and looking at the magnificent view of the ocean and mountains. The hot tub and evening camp fires were extra special, too. We would definitely recommend this property.
