Fabulous getaway in Tofino

This cottage has everything one could need for a stay right near Chesterman Beach. Appliances are mostly new and working exceptionally well.. I was delighted to find a gas stove and a Bosch dishwasher. Just bring you snacks/food and beverages, and enjoy!t

Wonderful home away from home

A peaceful oasis, minutes walk from the beach calming waves from a distance. The home is cared for with all the amenities needed for a full weeks stay. Outdoor bath was the cherry on top, well kept and a treat to be in nature while in a bath. We'll come back for sure!

Everything you need and a perfect location!

We had a lovely time at the Haidaway. The cottage was spotless, the beds were comfortable and it had everything we needed. The space was just right for our family of three with my teenage daughter taking the loft and my husband and I downstairs. You can tell that Sulo and Louise really think about what will make guests feel welcome and what they might need during their stay. We were greeted with a sample of local chocolates and found a little vase of flowers from the garden in the kitchen and bathroom. I was surprised and thrilled to find tea, coffee beans, and even detergent as I'm used to bringing my own. These little touches are greatly appreciated and the other Vrbo's I've stayed at could really learn from this one! Finally, the location was perfect. We enjoyed sitting on the deck watching the hummingbirds and it was just steps to the beach. We fell in love with Chesterman Beach and walked it several times a day. Our original plan to visit Tofino in 2020 to celebrate a milestone anniversary and birthday was derailed by Covid but it was worth the three year wait. We had a wonderful time and hope to return and stay here again!
