Guests love this home’s scenic location.
The Way Inn is a delightful wheelchair accessible waterfront bungalow at the mouth of the Inlet, next door to the general store where you can grocery shop or have them cook a quick meal or snack. Private dock with available moorage (from early-May to late October, please see below) right on the boardwalk with easy access to Brady's Beach. Located on a desirable section of the boardwalk, just steps away from the government dock, where you can arrive on the MV Frances Barkley ship.

The space
3 bedroom, 2 bathroom (one wheelchair accessible with curbless shower and ADA-compliant sink and toilet, grab bars) newly renovated bungalow with 4 beds, spacious living room with views across Bamfield Inlet, front deck adjacent to the boardwalk, rear deck, ample fridge and freezer space for the day's catch, private dock with potential moorage. Kitchen, living room, and bathrooms recently renovated. A wonderful place to relax after a day spent beachcombing at Brady's Beach, strolling down the boardwalk or fishing.

Guest access
The entire house except the cleaning closets. The front deck is fully accessible. The enclosed backyard is for your relaxing pleasure. The gate on the fence in the backyard is the limit for guests. The yard behind the gate is not accessible for guests. The post office is a part of the same building, but is not part of the rental space.

Other things to note
Please note that guest rates will be taxed at standard rates: Goods and Services tax (GST)= 5%, Provincial Sales Tax (PST) = 8%, Municipal and Regional District Tax (MRDT) levied by the Alberni Clayoquot Regional District (ACRD). These taxes are collected by Airbnb. The Airbnb service fee (revenue to them) is about 14%.

If you wish to make a longer-term booking off-season, enquire about discounts, depending on the season and the length of stay.

The Way Inn is on the West side of Bamfield, across Bamfield Inlet from the road access. Therefore, you will need either your own boat, utilize the water taxi service ($10 per person per trip), or float plane. World class fishing awaits, as does the northern end of the West Coast Trail, kayaking in the Deer or Broken Islands.

Moorage on the property is available directly in front of the Way Inn for $1.50/foot/night, up to maximum 32'. Larger boat might be possible, as might second boat, depending on width, and boating skills. Enquire first before booking. Moorage is available to general public as well as guests on a first-come, first-serve basis, generally from early May to late October. The moorage space is generally limited in the winter as the outer float and connecting dock are removed to a safe location to avoid winter damage.
