This hilltop house was perfect for our family trip! Everything is neat and clean and cozy, and right across from the whale watching tours. Would stay here again
We had a lovely stay at this home for the weekend. The house was beautiful and the view was incredible! We loved how close to town this location was, would definitely stay here again!
Tofino is so beautiful and the property was amazing too. Perfect location for exploring tofino and coming back in the evening to relax. Would definitely book again.
We had a Great Time in this House.
Beautyful located, and with a Great View.
You can reach Shops and Restaurants in a short Walk. We enjoyed our stay very much.
We were pleasantly surprised with this property. The inside was very clean, updated, everything you need. And the view was amazing. We walked to all restaurants and shops in town that were all within 10 minutes from the house. The only drive was to the beaches.
We really enjoyed our stay here. The location was great and had good views over the harbour. There was plenty of space for the three of us and everything worked well. We’d highly recommend this to anyone else
Property was big, clean, within walking distance of everything in town. All the beds were comfortable even for 4 adults. The 2 washrooms allowed for a bit more privacy for each couple which was great. We would stay again. Parking and check in were easy.
Pictures on the listing are accurate. It is a beautiful house with central location to town and a minutes drive to beaches. Great coffee shop (Tofino Coffee) at the bottom of the drive way and close to whale watching as well as excellent restaurants.
Great location - able to walk to local restaurants. Very clean and remarkable views. Excellent communication with property rental staff. Reached out frequently to see that all was well and if we needed anything. Highly recommend!!
This was a great place to stay to explore Tofino. It’s within easy walking distance of downtown and right across from the water. The coffee shop right at the bottom of the drive is also excellent. Just a note- if you have any mobility issues, due to the large driveway incline and lots of stair, this might not be for you. That being said, I cannot recommend Hill House and Tofino enough.
One of the most magical places to visit -- Tofino and the west coast of Vancouver Island! Hilltop Red House is perfectly situated to all the amenities while making you feel like you're in a private nature area with no one else around. Accommodation was outstanding and the deck overlooking the harbour is perfect for sitting out and enjoying your coffee first thing in the morning. We're coming back!
First and foremost the bed in the master was AMAZING!!!One of the best nights sleep I've ever had. The house was situated perfectly and central to everything. And an easy walk to most places. I had pre-booked whale watching and lo and behold it was directly across the street. The kitchen had all the basics you would need. It was a total bonus that the house had a washer/dryer as well. There were plenty of fresh fluffy towels and really nice shampoo and conditioner in each bathroom. The host was really responsive and checked in a few times to make sure that we didn't need anything which we didn't. We did not end up using the BBQ but just FYI is a small one.
This house was very clean and perfect for two couples. Great front porch looking at the bay was awesome. The beds were very comfortable, slept like a baby every night. The communication with the management was great, very responsive. My only complaint was that the kitchen was under stocked. No sauce pans, no lids for the frying pans, just very few cooking items. I would bring staples with you. I would definitely stay again!
Perfect getaway/retreat for my family. Hilltop Red House was just right for us, very spacious and upper part/loft was perfect and private with its own bathrm. Lower bedrm was nice as well with two single beds and a full bathrm. Loved the Saltspring Soapworks hand soap,shampoo, conditioner,body wash.All three of us enjoy cooking and kitchen was well stocked. Location was ideal and if one so wanted you could walk into town. Central to beaches- enjoyed Chesterman and Long beach. Only one minor concern with rental was with propane stove- addressed concern with Jacqui ( office manager for Tofino Vacation Rental), very quick to reply on how to go about troubleshooting, we had no success and she offered to send someone out to look at it. Maintenance person came by that afternoon and fixed the issue. Appreciated the excellent communication with Danielle and Jacqui.
Wouldn’t hesitate to return or to recommend this lovely home.
*No cable available but not a problem - nice to “unplug”.
We loved everything about this stay, the accomodation it self was spacious yet cosy with great views, close to the centre of town and the host was super great to communicate with
