Weekend getaway

The property is tucked into its own little forest so it feels very private. Roomy, bright, very clean and has all the amenities including a wine fridge and a nice espresso machine. Very comfy beds, and lots of games in the living room. Perfect for the 6 of us. Highly recommend The Dunes for your stay in Tofino!

Lovely stay in hideaway house close to beach

We loved this house with its rainforest garden. Beatiful, clean, well equipped with an extra bonus for the kitchen. Nice outdoor deck with a lovely jaccuzzi. We would gladely return often if it was closer to Stockholm, Sweden. :-)

Great location-could be cleaner.

Location is amazing. Kitchen is totally stocked with great utensils. Unfortunately, washrooms weren’t very clean (toilets etc) and we couldn’t use the hot tub as our eyes burned from too much chlorine.
