Little piece of paradise
What a wonderful experience! We came over in the middle of a storm, in the dark, sopping wet after driving 7 hours so we were very happy to cuddle up under a blanket when we arrived! We were upgraded to a larger float home and got to watch every type of weather happen right outside our front door! So happy to have been able to bring our dogs.

Wonderful Weekend in Tofino
The property was absolutely fantastic, with a welcoming rustic and cozy atmosphere. The floathouse had most of the basics for our stay, and was a comfortable fit for our group, with beautiful views of the Tofino harbour. Our host, Pearl, was generous and amenable as she taxied us to and from Strawberry Isle, gave us knowledgable advice on our plans for the weekend, and was incredibly responsive to our needs. After getting rained out while hiking, she very kindly let us use the property's washer and dryer. Thank you so much Pearl for the amazing stay, we look forward to the next time!

Awesome experience
This was an awesome experience for coming to tofino for the first time. Pearl was very friendly and made sure our stay was enjoyable. We were able to get back and forth to the island safely with an enjoyable boat ride. The float home is super nice and has a fish hole you can check out the sealife. We are very pleased with our stay and hope to come out again.

Went for 3 nights with the kids and a friend of mine. We had an awesome time. The place itself was cozy and had lots of character. There was a little fishing hole in the floor inside that we caught two fish in! Pearl was an awesome host, showing us how to get fishing bait and ensuring our stay was an enjoyable one. There’s no tv but there are some really fun board games provided with the stay and we made some great memories playing them all together. The view was also great, the sunset is so beautiful by the ocean. On the first morning I was able to see a seal visiting on the deck by us! So cool. Overall our stay was very nice, and pearl was a great host. If you want to adjust or add anything feel free
