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.

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!

Cox Bay Retreat

We were very impressed with the property. It’s very family friendly with lots of room to be together. The beds were awesome! It was a short 5 minute walk to the beach and so nice to hear the waves at night. We rate it a 5 star!

Perfect Tofino Getaway

This was a three generation family vacation. Myself with two adult daughters and a four year old granddaughter. The location was beyond our expectations - just minutes from Cox Bay down a groomed path leading right to the beach. It was well appointed with plush towels, robes, tv, kitchen supplies etc etc etc. Would go again and highly recommend you try it.

Amazing April

The beach was steps away, we hit perfect weather. The kitchen and living area was perfect for our group of 4, as well as the sunny deck. We appreciated the well stocked kitchen as we did not want to spend time looking for restaurants. Lots of stairs to the main floor but not a problem. Nice bedrooms and bathrooms.

It was an Awesome Stay at Cox Bay Retreat

We booked the Cox Bay Retreat for the weekend that our son was getting married just down the road at Long Beach Lodge Resort. The location was perfect. Easy to find and also close to downtown. The property itself was wonderful, there is a great beach walk just down from the property. Across the main road is a path for biking, walking and hiking. The house had everything we needed. Nice big bathrooms. Cozy, comfortable beds and linens. It was a nice and quiet location. We would rent here again. The staff from the property management company were excellent and didn't miss a beat from the time we booked until the time we checked out.

A pleasant stay

Our stay at Cox Bay Retreat was very pleasant. It was quiet, fairly private, well located and well organized. I would however make a few suggestions namely that the dishwasher be fixed (the bottom rack does not roll out well at all), alternative comforters could be in the room for people sensitive to down. Our master bedroom had only one bath towel. Beds were on the soft side, we prefer firm beds. Communications and directions were very clear and timely.

Beautiful home steps away from Cox Bay

We had a group of six and all of us felt great in the three rooms. It was great to cook in the kitchen and the bbq on the deck. Comfortable to gather in doors or have dinner on the table outside. Washer and dryer were useful for us. The only downside was the hot tub powered off both nights as we tried to use the hot tub. Caretakers were quick to fix the issue when notified but it happened shortly after again. Still a 10/10 vacation home.

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.
