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 cozy, recently renovated studio apartment is situated on the first floor of a charming building in downtown Tofino, offering stunning ocean views and convenient accessibility. Ideal for couples or solo travelers, 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.

With easy access via a nearby ramp, this apartment is well-suited for guests with mobility needs.
