Bruce & Leah

We began our business, Chesterman Beach Realty & Tofino Vacation Rentals, in the spring of 1998.

Our humble beginnings began out of our home office at Chesterman Beach with our two boys, Conor & Tyler, and our yellow lab Charlie as our assistants.

As time went by, our assistants (between the boys’ screaming matches while we were on the telephone and Charlie eating the freshly baked bread and anything else he could get his paws on) drove us, well, to our downtown Tofino office located at 430 Campbell Street. We told our assistants that we just got too busy to work from home. They seemed happy but skeptical!

We started out managing three suites at the Fred Tibbs on the Harbour and by summer's end we had increased our portfolio of properties at Fred Tibbs on the Harbour to seven, and added a couple cottages as well.

We believed all along that the service we wanted to provide worked well for everyone involved, from the owners who were looking for a professional property management service to the guests looking for an accommodation alternative to hotels, motels and B&B’s.

It seems we may have been right. Our portfolio now includes over 60 homes, cabins and condos in the Tofino area.

We are both from Vancouver Island with Bruce having grown up in Tofino and then Victoria, and Leah coming from the Sooke area. Bruce’s family is very active in the tourism industry in Tofino as his family owns and operates the new Wickaninnish Inn at Chesterman Beach, and who’s family has been in the Tofino area since the early sixties.

In closing, we would like to wish you a great trip to this incredible part of our country, hope you find that special accommodation you're looking for and we look forward to assisting you in any way we can!

Sincerely,

 

Bruce & Leah McDiarmid
and our assistants Conor, Tyler and Charlie
