About this property
Steps to Terrace Beach & Trails • Whale’s Tail
A relaxed coastal studio just steps from Terrace Beach. Whale’s Tail puts you right beside the Wild Pacific Trail and Lighthouse Loop - one of Ucluelet’s most beautiful places to explore. Newly refreshed with modern touches and a thoughtfully stocked kitchenette, it’s an easy home base for beach walks with your dog, surf trips, and quiet evenings by the ocean. Guests love how quickly they can step outside and be on the beach or trail. You might even see some whale’s tails if you’re lucky!
Enjoy the newly renovated suite! Whale’s Tail is a comfortable main-floor studio suite designed to make exploring Ucluelet easy.
The open layout includes a queen bed, a new queen sofa bed, and a cozy living area with an electric fireplace - great for relaxing after a day on the trails or beach.
The kitchenette includes a cooktop, small fridge, sink, and cooking essentials, making it easy to prepare simple meals during your stay. Many guests mention how thoughtfully equipped the kitchen is compared to similar studio spaces.
The bathroom was recently renovated with a new shower, and the suite also features improved soundproofing in the ceiling to enhance comfort for guests. Decorated with local artwork, the suite reflects the supernatural West Coast vibe of Ukee.
While the space is compact, it’s carefully designed to have everything you need for a restful stay near the ocean. The suite is not oceanfront, but Terrace Beach and the Wild Pacific Trail are only a few steps from the door.
Guests travelling with pets will also appreciate the small touches like dog bowls, towels, and blankets provided for furry companions.
