I’m really glad to hear everything met your expectations! It’s true, time in Tofino always feels too short — hopefully you’ll get a chance to come back and explore more on your next visit.
We loved our stay. The property was clean and very well appointed. Beds were extra comfy and it was a short bike ride to beaches, shops and town. Would definitely stay again.

Thank you! We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your time at Skylight Cottage. Biking around Tofino is the best way to explore the community. We hope to have you back for another visit.
We had an amazing time at skylight cottage. The house is wonderful and the hot tub is just amazing. The only thing that stood out to us as maybe needing some attention was the dining room chairs. The fake leather was starting to peel and was making a mess in the floor.
Beautiful property. The very few small hiccups we had we promptly dealt with by the management (not working electronic shutters). Overall awesome experience.
We enjoyed our stay at Skylight Cottage. The check-in was smooth and the location was good - right on the bike path to Tofino and the nearby coffee shop/brewery/ restaurants. We did drive to most of the beaches, but Mackenzie was close enough to bike to. There was a bit of road noise at times. The cottage was very clean and had some cool design touches, such as amazing driftwood bannisters. The beds were very comfortable, there were lots of fluffy towels, and the provided soap/shampoo were very nice quality. The hair dryer was melted and could stand to be replaced. We liked the dish soap so much that we purchased some in Ucluelet where it is made. It was great to have a washer and dryer and laundry soap available also. Games and puzzles were also provided, which was fun.The hot tub was very lovely and under a beautiful cedar cover. Having an outdoor shower was very helpful, especially with 6 adults, some of whom were surfing and could then rinse off and wash out wetsuits. The original fire pit did not work, but the management company quickly sent a replacement. The cottage is a bit of a tighter squeeze for 6 adults - lots of bedroom space, but not a lot of living space/kitchen space. The kitchen had a plethora of appliances and other cooking gear but could have used more drinking glasses, oven mitts and serving/wooden spoons. The concrete countertops were also a bit difficult to clean and looked a bit worse for the wear. There were some skylights missing blinds also.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a detailed review. We're so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time in the area!
We really appreciate your suggestion about restocking the kitchen. We've since completed a kitchen refresh and added the missing items. While we're waiting for the replacement part for the skylight blinds to arrive, we've also installed a temporary blackout blind to make the room more comfortable.
I'm so glad you were able to make use of the outdoor shower as well! It really is a great bonus when travelling with six guests, especially since the home has one indoor shower.
Thank you again for being such terrific guests. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we truly hope to welcome you back again one day!

Amazing stay in tofino
We had a wonderful stay at Skylight Cottage! Communication was always friendly and smooth. The cottage felt like a true home away from home— super clean, cozy, and equipped with everything we needed. It's also very baby-friendly, which made our stay even more comfortable.
The location was amazing—close to everything. We also loved how the area is surrounded by trees, perfect for peaceful walks or morning runs.
One of our favorite features was the cedar-canopied hot tub and bbq on the deck.
