It was an incredible experience to stay on the water with unbelievable views! The cabin’s cosy feel was a perfect way to end our day of exploring tofino. The 4 min boat ride to and from the main land was a wonder on it’s own, with the most spectacular landscape.

Great location in the harbour. We enjoyed watching the fishing boats and the float planes and sitting on the dock observing the marine life and sunsets. The property is really one big room. We were three adults and it suited us fine. I am not sure that it is as suitable for young children.Our host Pearl was great, ready to transport us when asked.

Cozy cabin, comfy bed, right on the water- the window down to the ocean is awesome for watching critters swimming around. Organizing rides to/from the houseboat was easy and efficient. Host was friendly and ensured I had everything need to be comfortable. Perfect spot to get away!

This is such a magical place, from fishing off the front porch to watching jelly fish swim by the porthole all night, this property has it all. It was a chilly March but Pearl kept us stocked with extra blankets and propane for the heater. It is so cozy and warm that you forget you are in a float house. Pearl was very easy to arrange rides to/from the harbour and you can feel the sense of community all around you. 10/10 we will be back!

Super cute cottage on the water with views of the water and mountains out of every window. Brought our kayak over and kayaked right from the cottage! Saw seals and eagles. Bed was comfy and thencottage had everything we needed. Bonus! The owner's daughter delivered pizza to our door for us! Downside: if you aren't a water activity person it might not suit you to depend on getting rides to town for whatever you want to do each day. For us it was perfect!
Window in the floor to watch sealife! Better than TV!
