Our family had a wonderful stay at Whitewater! We were steps from the beach where we spend our mornings and evenings. The cottage itself was comfortable - we loved the hot tub after surfing - and the bedrooms were large and well appointed. Chesterman's Beach was the perfect location to enjoy downtown Tofino and the whole area. We would come back here in a heartbeat!

Amazing little house by the beach
We had an awesome time at Whitewater. The house is fantastic and has all the amenities. The location is wonderful, right next to Chesterman’s south. The owner was really helpful. The pièce de résistance was the heated outdoor shower - perfect for after a surf!
Great access to the beach. Host was accessible and very helpful. If I had a single complaint, it was that the folding baggage holder that we chose was missing a nut. There was another one in the closet that was not broken.

Amazing!
The property was wonderful, close to the beach for quick walks. And the staff at TVR are very lovely and accommodating. And quick to reply when you need a hand. You can tell they love Tofino as much as our family loves Tofino. Would highly recommend.
Great location, minutes walk from Chesterman beach. We’ll set up, clean, perfect for families with pets. Backyard was great with fire pit and hot tub. If you need to split fire wood, you’ll need to bring you own hatchet.
Amazing location, super responsive host, and lovely property (esp the fire pit outdoors!)

Walkable beach location
We had a great week in the Whitewater cabin! You are just a block from South Chesterman beach which made for beautiful daily walks. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The rooms are a generous size + the hot tub was perfect as chillier nights set in.
The property is great & my family loves staying here! The walk to the beach is amazing & I’d recommend this home to everyone!
