We loved our stay at this property! The location and views are absolutely incredible, and the amenities are wonderful. The hot tub, sauna (beautiful), several outdoor seating areas (along with a fire pit area), and outdoor showers and wash hoses all made it so easy to truly enjoy Chesterman Beach and Tofino. The beach is gorgeous and tide pools are easily walkable at low tide both north and south. The interior of the home is very well done, we lacked for nothing! We were sad to leave this little slice of heaven!

Great location, beautiful views
Very nice place with everything you need in the kitchen, great beds, very comfy
HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Surfside Lodge is a special place. Everyone should experience the effect staying somewhere so amazing has on their life (I am still breaking out into uncontrolled smiles from the memory of our stay). Some specific things to call out:- Location: absolutely breathtaking views of Chesterman Beach (6th best in the world according to lonely planet). Direct beach access via a short path. Beach walks were incredible and easy to get to hotel facilities and local food (Tofitian coffee and Wildfire grill being 2 of our highlights). The local free shuttle bus was a nice surprise and meant our non-driving kids could hop on to go into Tofino.- House Layout: fantastic setup, stunning lounge area with views and great kitchen and dining spaces. Bedrooms were nicely setup and the little office on the top floor made the little work I had to do less painful with the views. Japanese bidet toilets were a nice surprise and the surf-room made storing all our stuff really easy.- Facilities: all the kitchen facilities you could need, great washer/dryer and a big TV on the ground floor. Hot-tub and Sauna were really nice - we spent several hours chilling in these late in the evening.- Attentive Hosts: Tofino Vacation Rentals were very friendly and helpful, with quick responses to any of our question.FANTASTIC PLACE.

MOST AMAZING place in Tofino!!! ❤️🤩
This is our second time at Surfside Lodge and it’s AMAZING!!! This year we brought 2 boys with us that have never been to Tofino and WOW they could not even believe how dialed in this house is!!! Surf room, hot tub, sauna and the view…can’t wait to book it for next year!
We enjoyed a great stay at the Surfside Lodge. The house is very comfortable and the backyard is completely private including the sauna and hot tub areas. The view is absolutely gorgeous. Communication with the rental staff was always quick and helpful.
