    Went for 3 nights with the kids and a friend of mine. We had an awesome time. The place itself was cozy and had lots of character. There was a little fishing hole in the floor inside that we caught two fish in! Pearl was an awesome host, showing us how to get fishing bait and ensuring our stay was an enjoyable one. There’s no tv but there are some really fun board games provided with the stay and we made some great memories playing them all together. The view was also great, the sunset is so beautiful by the ocean. On the first morning I was able to see a seal visiting on the deck by us! So cool. Overall our stay was very nice, and pearl was a great host. If you want to adjust or add anything feel free

    This is such a magical place, from fishing off the front porch to watching jelly fish swim by the porthole all night, this property has it all. It was a chilly March but Pearl kept us stocked with extra blankets and propane for the heater. It is so cozy and warm that you forget you are in a float house. Pearl was very easy to arrange rides to/from the harbour and you can feel the sense of community all around you. 10/10 we will be back!

    This is certainly a paradise on water with a cozy feel that is legendary. There is quite a history with the family that owns Strawberry Island. Our host Pearl was so friendly and accommodating. She is definitely an island professional with stellar boating skills. With our family of 5; 3 kids under 12 years old and a chocolate lab, this place was perfect for us. The kitchen was well equipped, but when we were there the oven didn't work. It didn't matter to us because we only used the stove-top. There were a variety of fun games, including cribbage and battleship. The viewing hole on the floor was a hit with the kids. Every morning and evening as part of our bed time routine, we would look down into the water and watch a few small fish swim by. There is a good working heater that heats up the place quickly and adequately, but be mindful of the propane tank levels. Waking up on the water is just a beautiful experience. We even saw a harbour seal right outside a few feet away from our window. Various wildlife everywhere, this place truly was exceptional.

    The location of this stay was incredible, beds were comfy and host was friendly. Communication was good once we arrived but questions beforehand got a bit muddled. There is no free parking in tofino.The oven did not work. If you want to have more than one return trip to the island per day you have to pay extra. We used BBQ, looked at the stars and you could see the bioluminescent at night which was amazing We loved our stay in this basic but fantastically located accomadation.

    Thanks so much to the wonderful folks on Strawberry Island! The float house is a cute little space with not tons of amenities but very comfortable. I had the best sleeps there! It's so quiet and the gentle rocking of the ocean is ideal for a restful night.Pearl is a great hostess, and very flexible with the boat roads to and from the island. We were made to feel very much at home. Reilly is so cheerful and our fishing trip with Joel and Luc was a huge success! I definitely recommend Strawberry Island to anyone who is looking for a unique stay when at Tofino. I will be staying there again if (when!) I return.

    What a wonderful experience! We came over in the middle of a storm, in the dark, sopping wet after driving 7 hours so we were very happy to cuddle up under a blanket when we arrived! We were upgraded to a larger float home and got to watch every type of weather happen right outside our front door! So happy to have been able to bring our dogs.

    The property was absolutely fantastic, with a welcoming rustic and cozy atmosphere. The floathouse had most of the basics for our stay, and was a comfortable fit for our group, with beautiful views of the Tofino harbour. Our host, Pearl, was generous and amenable as she taxied us to and from Strawberry Isle, gave us knowledgable advice on our plans for the weekend, and was incredibly responsive to our needs. After getting rained out while hiking, she very kindly let us use the property's washer and dryer. Thank you so much Pearl for the amazing stay, we look forward to the next time!
