Orca View House-Inlet, Mackenzie Beach, Downtown

ORCA VIEW HOUSE provides a comfortable and relaxing retreat in an authentic West Coast Style setting. The vacation home is nestled amongst soaring cedars and features stunning views of the Tofino Inlet. A custom-built boardwalk will lead you to a platform deck overlooking the water. Relax on the deck with morning sunshine surrounded by nature. Enjoy watching Eagles soar above, Herons on the mudflats, and the occasional sight of whales and bears in the inlet. In the evenings, gather around the outdoor fire pit or dine alfresco on the balcony featuring outdoor patio dining furniture.

The living room and kitchen are an open concept, perfect for entertaining and visiting with close family and friends. Cooking is made easy with all the essentials and brand-new appliances. After a long day exploring, relax on the cozy sofas with a good book or connect to Apple or Netflix on the Smart TV.

You will undoubtedly sleep in comfort in this cozy 3 bedroom and 2 bathroom home. The main bedroom features a queen-size bed, ensuite bathroom with shower & tub combo, and balcony doors to step right onto the patio for your morning coffee. The second bedroom has a queen bed situated beside a large window which provides a relaxing forest view and finally the third cozy bedroom has a double size bed. Just outside the bedrooms is a shared bathroom with a stand up shower.

The house is centrally located by the Multi-Use-Path for walking and biking between the village of Tofino and the nearby surf beaches. In addition, Orca View House is approximately a 6 min walk to Industrial Way, home to Tofino Brewery, Tofino Coffee, Summit Bakery, and more.

We look forward to welcoming you to Orca View House.

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.

Perfect for us

This home was perfect for our family group. Lots of room, great location and well supplied. Easy access to all the areas we wanted to visit. An extra added bonus was the fresh fish store which was basically across the street from us. Love the area.

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!
