I just emailed my cousins from Seattle, who stay at the Ocean Village Beach Resort in Tofino regularly. Here's what they answered:

About Ocean Village 1-866-725-3755: They have cedar cottages right on the beach...single and one bedroom. They also have some two story buildings that have two units in them, an upper and a lower. They have an indoor swimming pool and

are not far from the National Park with miles more of beaches. All the units have kitchens. We've also stayed at Pacific Sands...I believe it's more expensive now than Ocean Village. I believe it has similar accommodations and a nice beach though I'm not sure if all the rooms have kitchens. We've been staying at Ocean Village for years now.

The one time my husband and I visited Vancouver Island, we stayed in Ucluelet at a place that was quite dreary. On a return trip, I would definitely pick Tofino over Ucluelet.
