There is also a 58" Smart TV in the livingroom and a 30" TV in one of the bedrooms, along which a wide selection of books and games for those stormy days when you get back from playing on the beach. We have a large deck and grassy yard to play on. The property also has a large fire pit area with seating at the side of the house, which is surrounded by a beautiful forest backdrop.

Great Spot!
Thank you so much for sharing your cottage with us. We had a wonderful time! The cottage had everything we needed and was such a handy location close to everything. A little bit noisy next to the road, but so enjoyable that it didn’t matter!

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!

Wonderful accomodations in a time of need
Our team needed a place to stay while working in Tofino and staying at Rebecca's was so much niceer than being stuck in a hotel. Hoping someday to have the oppurtunity to come back again. Our guys just loved it.

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.

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!

Tofino treasure
Wonderful cabin! Very clean and well stocked. Loved the fire pit! Ideal for a family getaway. Would highly recommend. A bit close to the highway which got busy and added some road noise. But traffic slows down in the evening.

The cottage is exactly as described. Two good sized bedrooms with a loft bedroom. The kitchen is fully equipped. Very comfortable to sit and relax with a fire in the living room. The hosts are easy to reach out to and very friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

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!

It was just a friend and myself. Better value for more people. Second queen bed in loft so one adult in bunk room. Very handy but right on highway so traffic noise. Comfy bedding, heat bathroom floor, nice deck.

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.

Awesome home away from home
We found the cottage to be great for our vacation. There was everything you need. The short walk to the beach was great and there is a short drive or walk to awesome food. Tacofino is a must. We ate most of our meals and dessert (chocolate tofino ) within walking distance. There is so many things to do within the direct area a week was almost not enough. thanx for the use of you cottage . I would definitely recommend this aaccomadation.

Girls trip three generations
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!

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.

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

Great cottage 12 minute walk to the beach.
This was a perfect cottage for our 6 night stay with family. It was impeccably clean & quite spacious. It has a 2 great outdoor spaces! (Fire pit with lovely chairs & ample firewood as well as a nice patio table on the deck). The couches were super comfy too. Sunsets were only a 12 minute walk away. We will beback!
