Had a great stay. The surf room the outdoor showers and sauna/cold shower really makes this property a MUST return to.
Exceptional house! We had everything we needed and wanted (including great weather) for a fantastic 5 day stay. We enjoyed everything about the house - the sauna, the hot tub, the chairs by the beach, the firepit, the beach access, the chairs by the beach, the comfy bedrooms … all made for an excellent stay. We did not want to ever leave. Highly recommend!

Nothing better than sunny days on Chesterman Beach! We welcome you back anytime!
Very good. Great views from everywhere. Great location. Master bath needs painting and upgrading like bath on lower level. Grab bars needed. Mattress too soft and squishy as were pillows. Well equipped kitchen.
