Sounds of the Sea

Ucluelet

Offering quiet street views, Sounds of the Sea is an accommodation set in Ucluelet, 1.3 km from Little Beach and 2.6 km from Big Beach. This property offers access to a patio and free private parking. The property offers allergy-free units and is located 700 metres from Terrace Beach. We loved the setting and the unit, with all the special touches. There was access to a cove where we could sit and enjoy the ‘sounds of the sea’…the bell buoy and the sea lions and the waves.

Guests can benefit from a patio and a sun terrace. The property is non-smoking and is situated 16 km from Newcastle Island Marine Park. I don’t know where to start but we had the perfect stay at Brenda’s & Monty’s home! First of all - the view is spectacular and a good reason to wake up for sunset l. The location is quiet and by car there are many shops and restaurants nearby. The apartment itself is well equipped, spacious and very clean. The bed was comfy and we had a good rest. But the hosts are what makes it special. Monty provided many recommendations for hikes and our itinerary. Couldn’t ask for more and we will definitely come back. Thanks for having us :)
