About this house rental

South Swell (formerly Blue Heron Guest House) is a 3 bedroom custom built home overlooking Jensen's Bay in Tofino. Exceptional wood detailing, skylights, vaulted ceilings, private hot tub and gas fireplace.

An inlet waterfront retreat situated on 1.5 acres overlooking Jensen's Bay. A 5 minute walk from South Chesterman Beach, Jensen's Bay is a significant flyway for migratory birds.

A seating area at water's edge is a great place enjoy a quiet cup of coffee in the early morning and a perfect vantage point for sighting eagles, herons and other bird species. Occasionally you may spot a bear foraging across the tidal flats.

Towering cedars complement the property. Other wood was milled and transformed into the home's posts and beams. Chesterman Beach is ideally located a 5 minute walk for surfing, beach combing, dog walks or an early evening stroll to take in the iconic West Coast sunsets.

Tofino is 5km away and accessed by road or a well maintained, paved multi-use pathway. The path connects Tofino and the town of Ucluelet and provides ready access to beaches and Pacific Rim National Park.

Just up the road (1184 Pacific Rim Hwy) is a collection of shops for groceries, yoga, surf rentals, great local food (Wildside Grill & Tacofino), coffee/espresso/baked goods (The Tofitian) and chocolate .....Tofino style. The town of Tofino is a short drive (5 km) so a car would be ideal. In summer, a free (and surfboard friendly!) shuttle service runs between Tofino and Cox Bay. You can hop on and off at several points along the route, including 2 stops close by.

This rental is perfect for a quiet retreat or family vacation - ideally suited for 4-6 guests.

South Swell in Tofino is a perfect getaway for people wishing to escape into the wild natural habitat of the Pacific Northwest. The house is nicely appointed and it is within 5 minutes walk to beautiful Chesterman beach. I cant say enough good things about Kelly, the property's host and owner. We had some very complicated situations within our family with people arriving from overseas and the uncertainty surrounding this. She was very understanding and accommodating, which took a huge amount of stress off our booking at her place. We are very appreciative for all this. Thank you Kelly!

The house was fantastic, set among ancient cedars. The setting was very private with all the vegetation and the location was very quiet. It was a very short walk to Chesterman Beach - a fantastic sandy beach - a short drive to the miles of sand at Long Beach. The host is fantastic and very responsible. The property is very dog friendly. Wonderful stay.

We loved this quaint extremely clean quiet cottage. It was easy to find yet in a secluded area. Great access to town and beaches. We enjoyed the hot tub and salal berries. We especially loved having our bedroom on the quiet downstairs level . whildaughtetdaughter and ki

We really enjoyed our stay! Our hosts were very responsive and kind. The house was pristine and clean. The kitchen is so well equipped for cooking at home. And had sharp knives!! Honestly, more than we needed to cook comfortably. Brand new washer and dryer. Great hot tub! Highly recommend and will be back!

This property is very comfortable - very clean, all amenities are there and then some, such as beach towels and a wagon to take to the beach (which is less than five minutes walk away). The property is on a lovely, quiet inlet. So a peaceful getaway during busy Tofino months. Kelly and Doug were very responsive and have really thought of their guests’ comfort and experience in setting up the space. Highly recommend this accommodation.

We had an excellent stay at this property. Kelly and Bob were extremely responsive and went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. The house is lovely with everything you need. Location is fantastic as well. Directly across from Chesterman Beach and a short drive to the town. We would definitely stay again!
