Cox Bay Retreat-Beach Access, Hot Tub, Fireplace

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.

Outdoor Amenities: When the sun is shining in Tofino, step out onto your private balcony, which features a gas BBQ, a dining table for alfresco meals, and a comfortable sectional for lounging. Just below, you’ll find a hot tub—perfect for unwinding at the end of the day.

Location: We are located just steps from the iconic Cox Bay Beach—one of Tofino’s premier surf destinations. 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.

Cox Bay Retreat

House was just as described and communication was great with Danielle. Walk to the beach was much shorter than we anticipated, which was a pleasant surprise having a 4 and 8 year old. We appreciated the wagon supplied to cart our items back and forth. Would have liked to have a table to dine at inside, but other than that it was a lovely stay.

Perfect Time in Tofino

This house was a perfect location for us to get to our day trips and hikes and beach. One of the nicest and well equipped rental properties we have stayed at. The hot tub and cozy robes made it feel like a resort experience, but at the same time it had the comforts of home. Hope to return someday!
