Great location, nice views and a confortable stay
The hosts, the amenities, the views and the location of this property made it very special for our first time in Tofino. Even on rainy days, we felt at home. It is nice to encourage a local business at the same time; felt right and no disappointment encountered during our stay.
The location was excellent, Tofino Vacation Rentals was very helpful and informative. The place was extremely clean, well stocked kitchen, well laid out, and comfortable. We had a great time despite the January weather in Tofino!
Awesome place! Great location! Really enjoyed our time here. My only complaint is the beds were not great quality.

Everything you need in a vacation rental
Orca View was the perfect cottage accommodation for our family’s holiday. The views from the living area and primary bedroom are wonderful. The cottage is clean and well appointed with everything you might need. The great location is a short walk into the town centre and close to the bike trails.

Great location, relaxing
The booking and check in process was easy and enough communication on the property. The house was well layed with plenty of room for the 4 of us. The deck was a lovely sun catcher and the broad walk down to the water front was a regular occurrence for us to sit and watch the wild life go past. A real treat!
We loved the house, loved the surroundings in the trees and the closeness to the water.
The kitchen is well equipped and had everything we needed.

Exceeded expectations
Our group of 6 loved staying at this property. It was well kitted out with everything you could need. Very clean and quiet. The location was stellar…right on the inlet, quick walk to Industrial Way businesses and easy 25 minute stroll into the town of Tofino. Contact with the rental agency was top notch. Highly recommend this property and hope to return there in the future.
Very nice place as advertised. Plenty of room for family, fire place in living room, stocked kitchen for cooking meals, great working bbq for steaks on a large deck. Bed and baths great, plus top quality soaps. And pet friendly which we really appreciated. I recommend this rental!
Had a wonderful time - the property was absolutely perfect! Well equipped kitchen - nice living room/dining space and deck. Loved the area down by the water as well. Easy walk into town and short driving distance to the beaches for surfing and watching sunsets!
We went for an extended weekend in January and the home had everything we needed. There is also a walking/biking path right next to it which we used to walk into downtown Tofino (about 15 minutes). We would stay again in Orca View House.
We spent a great weekend at Orca View House. It was a fabulous chance to reconnect with old friends and experience Tofino. The house was well equipped, modern, and clean.
Had a wonderful stay, the place was clean and quiet and a great location to downtown. A little tricky to find the driveway the first time, but once you find it, it’s easy! Beds a little lumpy, but it’s island life, who needs to sleep. Lovely home, would totally stay again, thanks for everything!
The house is beautiful. Great location and has everything our family of 2 adults and 2 older teens could need! The beds are super comfortable, the house is lovely and warm. I can highly recommend this property. Thank yoj for sharing your gorgeous home with us!
Beautiful location, amazing home, breath taking view with bonus private beach. Site as advertised. Included are all creature comforts to make your stay comfortable. Definitely will be back
Well equipped and beautifully located. The kitchen had everything we needed with lots of space for multiple cooks and a fabulous view. Short drive to Tofino but can also walk across the street for evening drinks at either the distillery or brewery. Short walk to the Tonquin Park trailhead or to the Shelter for dinner. Responsive management. Would definitely stay again.
Perfect location, very accessible travel to downtown and beaches. The house is very well stocked with anything you might need for a short or long stay. We loved sitting down by the water and watching the sun rise and tides change. Staff were excellent and provided great communication and suggestions surrounding highway closures. Would highly recommend!
The spacious property has a wonderful view of the ocean. A private walkway takes you to the beach where a couple of chairs welcome you to relax and take in the breathtaking scenery. The inside of the property has vaulted ceilings with an open concept kitchen that has everything you need. The bed was comfortable and the washrooms were great. There is a big deck to sit out and enjoy a meal with the ocean in the distance.
The property was fantastic. It was set in a beautiful location and the property itself was well equipped, very clean and was a really beautiful space. It was close to Tofino so we could walk into town with ease. Check in and out was super easy and the owner was super responsive to our inquiries. Overall it was a really awesome choice for our family and we would definitely stay here again. 5 out of 5 for sure.
