The Brick House Reviews

The Brick House is a visually stunning home located a few short steps from Chesterman Beach. It easily accommodated our family of 5 and is far more spacious than the pictures show. The location is perfect if you plan to surf or go sightseeing, we were able to walk down to the beach with our boards and it is just a short drive in to Tofino.
★★★★★
We had a lovely stay at the Brick House which is just minutes from the most beautiful beach in Tofino. Communication with the host was responsive and check-in was easy. The house is comfortable and exactly as pictured. The yard is very large with a fire pit, dining table, hot tub and giant lawn - it was a fun place to hang out when not at the beach.
★★★★★
The Brick House is a 2 minute or less walk to the fantastic Chesterman Beach and is perfectly stocked with all the things you need when renting a vacation property. Our family of six loved our stay here. Our host responded quickly to our questions and the house was a great fit for our family of myself, 3 younger kids and my wife in a wheelchair and her caregiver. The house is not wheelchair accessible and nor was it advertised to be, but it is definitely “wheelchair possible”. We absolutely loved our stay in the Brick House with so much character and minutes from the amazing Chesterman Beach ... we would definitely stay here again.
★★★★★
All the guests who stayed in the brick house for a corporate fishing trip loved the space and it was great dealing with the hosts to set everything up as a third party! - will look to book myself soon!
