Very clean and comfortable exactly as described. Close to beaches and good parking. Very quiet and facilities impeccable. Wood stove kept us cosy but also the back up heating system. Altogether awesome! We will return I hope 👍👍👍

Christmas In Tofino
Wonderful property short walk from the beach and short cycle it drive to the town. My wife and I spent Christmas to New Year here. The highlight for me was the outdoor shower which is quite the experience in a storm! Property was clean and everything as advertised. We will definitely be back!

Awesome location!
Rebecca's property has everything: privacy, great fire pit (with wood), outdoor shower, clothesline and 3 wonderful bedrooms. Bonus: they are pet friendly! Although this is on the Pacific Rim Hwy, the noise did not bother us and the Multi Use Trail is just outside the door. Walking distance to food, and Chesterman Beach and plenty of parking! We will bring our bikes next time! Thank you!

A wonderful home close to beaches
This home away from home was efficient and clean. Our small family reunion was well accommodated. We needed for nothing. Check in was simple and the owner was easily reached. A small hotel restaurant was an easy walk for small breakfast items. We would gladly stay again.

Great stay is beautiful Tofino
The house was in a great location, just a five minute walk to North Chesterman. The bike path that runs along the bottom of the driveway was a little anxiety inducing. The trees/vegetation at the end of the driveway should be cut way back to better be able to visualize the on-coming bike path users. The house was comfortable for my daughters and I. My husband had trouble with the very low ceilings in the shower. Beware…probably not recommended for anyone over 6ft to use, maybe just use the outdoor shower?. The other thing that my kids loved but gave my husband and I a bit of concern was the loft. My daughters loved the loft bed but the very steep stairs/ladder was worrisome for the kids to use in the middle of the night. Just an FYI for people with younger kids in the house All in all we had a great stay and would definitely come back again

Thank you for taking the time to review our cottage and we are very happy that you had a great time and that you chose us to stay with! We wanted to take a moment to clarify a few of the items in the review that you wrote about our property. Tofino is located in a gorgeous rainforest and the vegetation is extremely lush and fast growing. Most of the driveways in Tofino have very dense vegetation growing right up to the edge of the driveway, which is maintained by the Town of Tofino crews on a regular basis, as it is city property. We are so lucky to be located on the Multi-Use Pathway (the MUP) and there is signage to use caution when exiting the driveway, as the path is very well used by walkers and cyclists to get to the beaches, town and other neighbourhoods. We tend to give 2 friendly toots of the horn to notify that a vehicle is entering the pathway. The main shower does have a lower ceiling to accommodate the bathtub, which is often preferred by families who stay with children, as the bathroom is located under the loft. My husband who is 6'6", showers in there regularly, but it is also awesome to enjoy our private hot outdoor shower under the stars if you prefer. The loft access is a ships ladder which is shown in the photos of the house and a beautiful character feature in our main space. We have had hundreds of families with children stay with us, including our own children who have grown up in that house since they were babies, and have not had a problem with the loft access. There are plenty of comfortable options for children (or any guest) to sleep on the main floor of the house if it is felt that the access would present a challenge. We thank you again for staying with us! Best, Rebecca & Family

We had a fantastic stay. The cottage was stocked with everything we needed and more. My mom 79, daughter 18 and her best friend joined us. It was our second time staying here and it was the most beautiful and peaceful place. More than enough room for everyone. So close to everything. We walked to the beach every day. The outdoor shower is a favorite for everyone. I can’t say enough about this special place. Definitely will be back. Thank you for sharing your place.

Great location for family vacation
We had a great stay at Rebecca's place. Our family of 6 fit perfectly in the house with our two dogs. The house was wonderful, spacious even with 6 people. There was a skylight in every bedroom. The bathroom had heated floors! The backyard was big and well maintained. There was a perfect spot for the fire place to sit and hang out. I was shocked to see the outside shower had hot water! Our favorite part was the beach. The fact that it was a less then 10 minute walk made this place the best! Thanks Rebecca!

The cabin is fantastic! Lots of rooms, kitchen is fully stocked and the living area is cozy. We enjoyed the fireplace and the out door shower to rinse off after the beach (there is one inside too). The property is close to the beach and in walking distance to some shops and a close drive to the downtown area. Highly recommended!

Happy New Year
We had a wonderful family trip to Tofino. We stayed 3 nights over New Years. It was magical, NY fireworks on Mckenzie beach and nightly bonfires in the back yard fire pit (wood was supplied). The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, plates, glassware etc. Everything you need to cook with, much better than most places! The location is great with walking time to, 10 min to Chesterman Beach, 1 min to Hotel Zed, 10 min to Tacofino : ) and 30 min very doable to Tofino Brewery. If not walking a quick drive into Tofino town centre. Easy checkin and communication.

Meeting the chadults for the weekend
We had a lovely stay in Tofino for the weekend. The accommodation was perfect for us. We met our son and his girlfriend who live on the island for the weekend to see each other. We mostly cooked on, the kitchen was well equipped and we had tons of room and privacy. We could have brought our younger son and a friend and we would still have enough space. The outdoor shower was such a bonus! Thank you, would definitely recommend.

We enjoyed our stay. Location is great for exploring and a quick drive into Tofino. The kitchen is very well equipped if you want to make meals. Roomy, comfortable and a lovely yard with a fire pit : ) (although no fires due to fire ban). Only possible downside, for anyone sensitive to road noise. You are very close to the main road and you can hear it.

It's always disappointing when we see a 4 star review, especially when the guest has great things to say about the house. We always strive to go above and beyond to accommodate the needs of each of our guests and their families to make sure their stay is the most enjoyable one that can be had in Tofino. Once again, we thank the very high percentage of our guests who leave us 5 star reviews.

Storm season
We always like to come to Tofino the stormy time of year. The location being close to the Roar restaurant at Hotel Zed, Chesterman's beach, Pointe restaurant at the Wikkaninnish, and the Tofitian and Chocolate Tofino are all within easy walking distance. The walk downtown is only 45 minutes and a good way to build an appetite or work off some calories. Would stay here again.
