The host was lovely and very responsive, but the house smelled like cat urine. We let the host know, and they delivered candles and baking soda, but the stink then led to a mold reaction for me due to the dampness in the house. I am not sure where the cat smell is coming from, but it was potent throughout the house. There is also evidence of leaks around the skylights, which is likely contributing to these issues and potentially the smell.

This is a first class property in a private secluded location with a gorgeous view. It’s perfect for parties of 6 like ours, with 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. The property is extremely well equipped and maintained. If you are looking for a quiet private getaway close to Tofino this property is for you. The Stellar Bluejay pictured became very friendly over our one week stay, we all hated to leave and wished we had booked 2 weeks on Jensens Bay

Tofino Experience

I came from Ontario to visit family on the island but also wanted to see Tofino. I chose Jensen's Bay Retreat as it looked so inviting by reading all about it and viewing the pictures. It definitely did not disappoint us. The place was spacious with a kitchen stocked with all the necessary dishes, utensils, pots, bowls, etc. You could see the tide go in and out whether you were inside or outside on the back deck or in the hot tub where it was so peaceful. I highly recommend this location as it was a short drive to Tofino or a short walk to Chesterman Beach.

The setting of this property couldn’t be more beautiful. It has quite a calm Zen feel to it. with the full-size kitchen it was easy to cook. We spent a lot of time just relaxing on the deck looking at the view. Just a 10 minute walk to Chesterman Beach.
