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.

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.

Property was convenient and within walking didtance to town and beaches. Outside needed a bit of TLC, large weeds in and around walkway, deck needs to be power washed. Couches very uncomfortable, sat on kitchen chairs to watch tv. Frying pans need relaced as well. Otherwise all good.

Beautifull house but interior is tired

The house is beautiful, good location but noisy highway. Two chairs had broken caning on back rendering them useless for dining room furniture. Two of the beds were like 'bouncy castles' and not comfortable. Cheap beds. Teflon on frying pans was worn out. Low battery warning went off in kitchen at 12:15am! Our men retrieved the ladder from outside to dismantle the dector from the 12' ceiling. Battery was replaced next day. Low quality for price. Dated saggy furnature

Perfect

We were a family of four-when we arrived I thought the house was excellent (even better than described)-clean, well equipped with great views. We found it very easily. They use local natural products in the house and leave some great recommendations which we took up. As we has been travelling we were thankful for an excellent laundry room. The lounge and kitchen were both well equipped and the outside seating were well used together with the BBQ. We visited the local ‘Fish shop’, Tofino beer company (which was buzzing) and the Tofino chocolate company plus the Tofino Grill. It would be easy to walk into town being only about 2.5k with an excellent walkway. Great coffee houses and shops-all very welcoming and relaxing. All the rooms were comfortable and the beds had very comfy mattresses. Tofino was the perfect end to the holiday for us and we would happily come back for longer as there is so much to do. Everyone was friendly and helpful-what more could you want 😃

Beautiful stay

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.

A Slice of Paradise

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.

Stay at Orca View House

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.
