Great property

This is a great property. The only recommendation I would have is to have a railing for the outside steps. They are slippery when wet and my husband who is 77;fell. Also a grab bat in shower would be helpful. Otherwise this is excellent… It is hard to find accessible property here and my husband has Parkinson’s yet we still like to travel. I like how private the bedroom areas feel

Wonderful Tofino Stay!

We had a 2 night stay with 2 adults and 3 teens. The home was comfortably furnished and had all of the amenities we needed and more! We lived the 3 bedrooms and the beds and linens were very comfy! Having 2 bathrooms is a must with teens and they were very nice. The hot tub was an added bonus, especially after a day of surfing. The proximity to Chesterman Beach and a few restaurants and stores was also a big bonus! Would love to stay here again!

We had a wonderful 4 days while staying at Fernwood. The location was great - 5 minutes to Chesterman beach and 10 minutes walking to the local coffee shop. The house itself was clean and the beds very comfortable. There were ample supplies in the kitchen to allow for easy meal prep. Definitely would recommend this place to others!
