About this apartment rental

Fred Tibbs Rental Condominiums-

The building is named after Fred Tibbs, an eccentric British pioneer who arrived in 1905. He purchased a small island off the Tofino shore, calling it 'Dream Island.' According to local folklore, Tibbs was known to climb to the top of a lone spruce tree on his island and play his clarinet, a charmingly unique figure in Tofino's history.

This cozy studio apartment, situated on the first floor of a charming building in downtown Tofino, offers stunning ocean views and convenient accessibility. Ideal for couples or solo travelers, the space features a fully stocked kitchen, perfect for preparing meals or enjoying your morning coffee while soaking in the beautiful scenery.

Relax in the well-appointed bathroom, which includes a luxurious soaker tub—perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration. The propane fireplace adds a touch of warmth and ambiance, making this studio a delightful retreat year-round.

For those needing to work remotely, a small desk is available, providing a comfortable space to focus while enjoying the tranquil surroundings. With easy access via a nearby ramp, this apartment is well-suited for guests with mobility issues.

Nice little place with great views and fabulous location. Amenities were beyond what I expected! The kitchen was stocked with every single item you could ever need! So impressed by that. Large jacuzzi tub was a bonus as was the balcony. The place lacked updating in terms of kitchen cabinets, counter, and furniture. Despite that it was quite clean except for the windows which evidently had been overlooked however there were cleaning items present so it took a little elbow grease and the windows were able to show the great view. I was beyond impressed with the quality of bath/ body products supplied. Was truly a thoughtful and luxurious treat! Would absolutely stay again.

We were able to walk all over Tofino to shops and restaurants. We then came back to all the conveniences of home. I loved sitting and watching the tide gently come in.

A great place to stay to enjoy Tofino. Unit is a bachelor pad with all that you need including a balcony to sit on and enjoy the waterfront view. You can see the mountains and enjoy marine life swimming by. There is a wonderful bakery on site that couldn't be more convenient or delicious. Our only issue was that it was a little difficult to get in and out of the jacuzzi tub to take a shower. A little awkward but that was the only thing.
