If you want a great family-friendly Ucluelet getaway, look no further than the Cabins at Terrace Beach.
We've stayed at The Cabins a few times and have fond memories of our trips. We love it for its proximity to Ucluelet's best offerings, including the Wild Pacific Trail and the Aquarium. I dare say it could possibly be one of the very best family resorts Vancouver Island has to offer.
The Accommodations
The Cabins at Terrace Beach provide a perfect family-friendly Ucluelet getaway. And, yes, these ocean-side cabins are also great for a romantic retreat for two.
The Oceanfront accommodations at The Cabins offer a glimpse of this amazing beach. This Terrace beach resort also offers guests the option of condo-style accommodations at Spring Cove, as well as an authentic cabin experience in their Rainforest Cabins.
All the cabins have a full kitchen, a stone fireplace, and floor-to-ceiling windows. Compared to many other accommodations on the West Coast, The Cabins are extremely reasonably priced.
Splurge: I highly recommend splurging on an Oceanfront Cabin. Being near the ocean is why you're heading to the West Coast, is it not!?
Any time of year is a great time to visit Ucluelet. However, this prime location offers a perfect summer getaway with activities like BBQs, beach time, and stunning rainforest views, catering to the family's diverse range of interests.
Terrace Beach
At low tide, Terrace Beach is one of the most bio-diverse beaches on the West Coast. Adults and kids alike will love gawking at the tide pools full of living sea creatures, such as starfish, crabs, anemones, and plant life. However alluring, please try your best only to look and not touch. This helps keep the area in the pristine condition it is accustomed to!
If you want touch pools, head to the Ucluelet Aquarium instead.
Pet-Friendly?
All of the Cabins, as well as the Sabbatical Suites overlooking Spring Cove, are pet-friendly. Pets receive frequent treats, as well as dog towels upon arrival. The cost to bring your dog is an extra charge, with a maximum of two pets per cabin.
Things to note:
- You must bring your own dog bed and bowls
- Dogs are not allowed on the cabin furniture
- If your dog has to be left unattended for any length of time, it should remain inside a kennel.
- Pets must remain on a leash while on the property
- No pets are allowed in the lodge.
Resort Tips and Services
