About this property

Fred Tibbs #17 I Ocean View I Fireplace I Downtown I Bakery I Cozy

  • ***Fred Tibbs Rental Condominiums**

    THE SEASHELL: 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 cosy, recently renovated studio apartment is situated on the ground floor of a charming building in city centre Tofino, offering stunning ocean views and convenient accessibility. Ideal for couples or solo travellers, the space now features updated appliances in a fully stocked kitchen, making it perfect for preparing meals or enjoying your morning coffee while soaking in the beautiful scenery.

    The newly renovated bathroom includes a luxurious soaker tub—perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration. In the living area, you’ll find a new pull-out couch, adding flexibility and comfort for lounging or accommodating additional guests. A propane fireplace adds 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 needs.

    Whether you’re looking to immerse yourself in Tofino's vibrant culture, embark on outdoor adventures, or simply relax and take in the views, this refreshed studio apartment is the perfect home base for your stay. Come and experience the beauty of Tofino!



    Enjoy stunning water views in the heart of town at this Fred Tibbs unit. Take an early morning stroll by the beach, go surfing, storm watch, or explore the many natural wonders Tofino has to offer. With less than a 5-minute walk, wander through the tranquil town and enjoy its many great bakeries and restaurants.



    BAKERY: There is a delicious bakery located right in the building where you can enjoy a morning coffee or fresh baked goods—be sure to visit Savary Island Pie Company on the ground floor!



    Outside, you’ll find a grassy area with stone picnic tables, perfect for relaxing, enjoying a fish taco, and watching the tides roll in. Fred Tibbs is conveniently located in the heart of town, within walking distance to restaurants, shops, and tour guides for those seeking adventure.

Hassle free and relaxing

Highly recommend Tofino Vacation rentals. From the initial booking to the arrival and departure, Tofino Vacation rentals were in contact with us, via text to insure that everything was perfect. The Studio suite was perfect and in an excellent location to explore Tofino by foot.

Great location with amazing views. Really appreciated the coffee and soap, shampoo, conditioner! Some things to note were that the unit smelled strongly of men's cologne and the jacuzzi tub didnt work. The jets in the tub also looked like they needed to be cleaned. Not easy to get in and out of the shower/tub even without any mobility issues. Other than that it was great.

Sweet Stay

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.
