“Oceaan Beach review”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 18, 2012

I was here with my husband and my two kids on the remeberance day long weekend. we stayed in a studio suite that was small but very clean, nice and was fully equipped..dishes pots pans.
we had a queen bed and the kids had two daybeds in the living room. plenty of space. and also our dog was welcome which was very nice. Ocean Beach even supplied dog dishes, a dog towel and treats for him..they are even allowed to run off leash on the beach. The beach was spectacular, you just dont find sand like that in too many places. it seemed endless and the whether that weekend couldnt be beat. sun, sun. at night we were able to enjoy the large heated indoor pool and hottub. if you forget something to read no problem as the office has quite a large selection of books for adults and kids as well a games to play. All in all Very enjoyable w
weekend and would love to go back.

Shannon B

Room Tip: we stayed at the end opposite the office so pretty quiet. every room has a great view of the beach

“Spectacular spot!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 16, 2012

We spent 2 nights in a 2 bedroom ocean front cabin with our daughter and son-in-law. We were looking for rest and relaxation and were not disappointed. The cabin had a large, new kitchen that was fully equipped- doing dishes staring out at the beautiful ocean was delightful. The bathroom was also newly renovated and spacious with lots of hot water. The beds were comfortable and listening to the surf outside our door made for a fantastic sleep. There was a nice gas faux fireplace in the living room which made for a cozy atmosphere. Having no tv was great- there was free wifi though. The best part was having the beach steps out the door. McKenzie Beach was lovely. The drive into Tofino took about 10 minutes, not far at all. At check-in the staff were helpful and friendly- we had forgotten aluminum foil for food prep and they happily found some for us. We didn't try the pool but it looked nice. My only tiny complaint was that the beds were not made up the second day- which we realized was something we had missed in the check in info. They replace towels but maybe don't do beds, Not a huge issue. Overall a great restorative experience.

Room Tip: We stayed in cabin 102.

“Fantastic place with spectacular views!!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 11, 2012 via mobile

I stayed here in 1976 and had to come back. We had a lovely lower cabin #12. The room was fantastic. Had everything we could possibly need and a fantastic soaker tub. The view of the ocean was spectacular and the sunsets....stunning. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I will be back and not wait another 36 years. Thank you fir bringing back childhood memories and letting me make new ones!!!!

“Good concept on great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 30, 2012

The ocean village isn't a luxury resort. You don't have a flatscreen in your studio - there are no telephone or tv in the rooms, but you do get decent comfort, a nice atmosphere and excellent view on the beach. I stayed in one of the upper apartments. Try to get one of those: they have a nice, high ceiling and since there are no animals allowed in the upper apartments, they are clean and fresh. The kitchen is small but well equipped - you even don't have to think of bringing kitchen towels or Dreft. If you have some washing to do, there 's a cheap laundry.
The owners and staff are calm and friendly.
I didn't use the pool so I can't give a comment on that.
In my eyes, the ocean village has a very good philosophy: they don't equip the rooms with the latest multimedia tools, but instead, they take care of privacy, comfort and location.

Room Tip: I prefer the upper apartments: nice ceiling and better view

“The ONLY place to stay in the Long Beach area!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 29, 2012

A great big thank you to the owners and staff of Ocean Village for maintaining the charm and ambiance of ocean Village even after the great renovations that have been taking place over the past year or more. We have been staying at this resort for many, many years due to its beautiful location, accommodating service and lovely, quaint cottages. We stayed with our kids when they were little and now as a cozy retreat for just the two of us. There is no place else we would rather be on the west coast than in these cottages.

The grounds are beautiful and well maintained and you are only a few yards from the ocean sand. The location of the property is close to Tofino and all of the popular hiking trails and other beaches. While there, we always try and patronize other businesses in the area and found the Tofino Brewery, the Tofino Coffee Company and the Red Can Gourmet a pleasure to visit and partake of their "goods".

So, wherever you have booked your next west coast get-away, cancel it and make it for Ocean Village!

Room Tip: The rooms along the beach are the best, but all rooms have a view and are only a short distance from...
