A Treasure in Tofino
We had a great 3 night stay at Jensen's Bay Getaway. The home was modern and spacious with lots of windows. Though there is no water access, it is a wonderful place to relax and refresh. The beds were very comfy and there is an amazing collection of CDS and books to chill with. With the wood fire place, it would make a great spot to come storm watching. It is an easy walk to Chesterman beach and a 4 min drive to MacKenzie Beach. The bike trail is very handy. A return visit is definitely in the cards.

Stunning home, walking distance to Chesterman (our fav beach!)
The house is BEAUTIFUL. There was an amazing CD collection (creating much awe with my children!) and a great library. The property was private and very quiet. It's about a 1 km walk to Chesterman Beach. Great open concept and a well-stocked kitchen. We were very comfortable - it was hard to leave!

We were grandparents, parents and two grandchildren. Very conveniently located for the Pacific Rim National Park, all the fabulous beaches and Tofino’s Skate Park, kayaking and boat trip. We were quite comfortable and had everything we needed. Communication re: a couple of minor things was excellent. We found more than enough to do for 8 days. Also enjoyed the Ucluelet Aquarium!

Long weekend w/ friends
The property was very clean and the communication with the property manager was great. The house is lovely and spacious and within good proximity to Tofino and a walk to chestermans beach. We had hoped that Jensen's bay would be accessible to get our kayaks in the water but it wasn't, I think we should have done more homework in that regard. Otherwise we had a good time.

Lovely house, great for families
This is a beautiful home, filled with an amazing CD collection, books, lots of communal space, fabulous kitchen, and all the things you need for little kiddos! I was so impressed that there were numerous high chairs, a crib, kids table and chairs upstairs. Our little crawler had lots of space to explore. The rooms are very spacious and could easily fit 6 people. Small view of the inlet, so we felt like we were kind of in the forest but still with lots of natural light.

Great private stay in the heart of Tofino
This is a lovely and spacious rental. We had 4 adults, 2 young children and dog in tow and there was plenty of room for us all to mingle yet also have space when needed. Comfortable sleeping arrangements. The kitchen was well equipped for home cooked meals, including cooking oil and some seasonings. And lots of lextras - 2 high chairs and booster seats; plus a magnificent book, CD and puzzle collection that we really enjoyed. Centrally located, the rental was a quick 5 minute drive to Chesterman Beach, and even closer to nearby coffee shop/ stores. We recommend this as a great spot for a group or family stay!

Lovely time in Tofino
Good aspects: This spacious house is located in an excellent location close to beach. It is extremely clean, has a well stocked kitchen, nice fluffy towels, and the best collection of eclectic music CDs I have ever seen. Needs improvement: The back patio doors are extremely difficult to open. As noted in other reviews, the sofa and chair in the living room need to be replaced. The cushions will no longer stay in place, and they are both uncomfortable. In summary, we could not be happier with our lodging choice, and we hope to return soon.

Welcoming home close to Cox Beach
Had a lovely stay at Jensen’s Bay getaway. The property is spacious and filled with lovely light at end of the day. The kitchen is really well equipped (only missing cocktail shaker and lemon juicer!). We loved perusing the book shelf and playing CDs from extensive library. Amazing bath products to clean up after beach days. The kids said a hot tub on back deck would make the place absolutely perfect. Communication with property manager was seamless. The power was out all day the day we checked in, so cleaning staff did the best they could and offered to come back. All in all would return in a heartbeat!

Jensen’s Bay Getaway
Unfortunately this home is far too pricey for what you get, or I should say, don’t get. The living room furniture is old and seems to be outdoor patio furniture. It isn’t comfy at all and was covered in dog hair along with the carpets and everything else (I’m allergic and so I was sneezing and congested during our stay). The floors just didn’t seem to have been cleaned. The bathrooms are only half reno’d and very cheaply done, one of the handles fell off in the shower. There was some seating provided for the patio in the back but no blankets or cushions to bring out with us in the evenings or mornings. No welcome basket or book (there is a digital one but what if you don’t have reception or you’re visiting the country). We had issues with the wifi and the very small and old tv, when we did want to watch something in the evening we couldn’t get a hold of the owners for passwords (none of this was Rogers related as they use Telus). The property management company that came and helped was very communicative and kind so that was great, but overall we paid way too much for what we got.
