We say seasonally as it rains a lot in Tofino and the patio is not covered! There are six Adirondack chairs by the beach year round. Bring your paddle boards and check the tides - go straight from the house to the water and explore the area. Safety first - wear your life jacket and tell someone you are headed out. The ocean is mighty and is active with boats and currents. Paddle boarding in the ocean is quite different than a lake. We love a good fire and this fire pit has a beach view! Wood bundles can be provided so please ask ahead - axe is not provided (due to insurance). In the summer there is often a fire ban in the province, so follow seasonal bylaws. The wood burning sauna can sometimes be out of use due to the fire ban. Further instructions will be in the welcome guide. The house is on septic, so it's important to only flush toilet paper. Flushing other items will clog the pump and result in an expensive repair. RUG RATS The house is stocked with a baby gate for the stairs, play pen, high chair, step stool and children dinnerware.
