This is perfect for car free exploring downtown; in the summer months it is often very hard to find parking, so we very much recommend taking advantage of using the MUP (multi use path) and walking, biking, e-bike or grabbing the Free Shuttle that runs in the Summer months to the beaches.
INTERACTION
Tonquin Beach House is designed for independent check-in. Guests receive a detailed Welcome Guide before arrival, and Blue Crush Vacation Rentals is available by message if you have any questions during your stay. Long-term tenants reside in a separate home on the property and fully respect your privacy.

This area blends laid-back residential charm with easy access to natural beauty, offering a peaceful retreat while still being close to shops, cafes, and local eateries. Tree-lined streets, cedar accents, and metres of forest air create a serene backdrop for your getaway. Wildlife sightings, quiet sidewalks, and proximity to family-friendly spaces make it ideal for both couples and groups seeking a relaxed coastal vibe with modern comforts.
