Beautiful bay view and great accommodation!

Enjoyed the great water view and hot tub. The home is well stocked and plenty of room for the 6 adults in our party. Love the location as within minutes of Chesterman beach and a small drive to Tofino or long beach. A wonderful stay and would highly recommend booking. The hosts are friendly and communicate well. You will be well looked after!

Best place to stay!

If I could give more stars, I would. From booking to changing our booking to just before leaving to during and after our stay the communication was prompt, clear, and very nice. The bedrooms were all comfortable, bathrooms were very clean with bonus lovely smelling soap/shampoo/conditioner. Kitchen was very well-equipped (fridge was an excellent size). Living room is spacious with lots of room to hang out. Location is easy to find. Walking distance to a few beaches. Definitely recommending to all my friends.

A Great Spot

We really enjoyed ourselves. The place was spotlessly clean and supplied with everything. The views to the lagoon featured from every room. Hot Tub was hot and steamy. Fire pit was a great addition (we brought our own wood). A quick 10 minute walk to Chesterman for beach walks and surfing. Thanks again
