About this property

Starlight Retreat-Hot Tub, OD Shower, Cold Plunge!

STARLIGHT RETREAT is a LOFT style home that is nestled at the end of a peaceful gravel road, offering a serene and secluded getaway just moments from South Chesterman Beach. This charming loft house incorporates the essence of Tofino, with its rustic wood beams, open concept design, and eclectic artwork adorning the walls.

Upon entering the vacation rental, you'll immediately be enveloped in a nostalgic retro ambiance. The main living area provides a cozy and inviting atmosphere, with windows that showcase the surrounding trees, a crackling wood fireplace to warm you and an abundance of natural light that fills the room. The wooden beams overhead add a touch of rustic elegance, elevating the house's character and allure.

The vibrant and welcoming kitchen continues the theme, with its playful red and white color scheme that perfectly captures the spirit of Tofino's end-of-the-road culture. The red cabinetry create a cheerful atmosphere that will inspire your culinary adventures.

The open layout of the LOFT house makes it ideal for socializing and spending quality time with loved ones. The dining area, adorned with a vintage wood-burning stove, serves as the perfect gathering spot for shared meals and the creation of lasting memories. Curl up in the cozy seating area and engage in intimate conversations, or simply take pleasure in the tranquil ambiance that surrounds you.

The vacation rental loft house offers two rooms with beds, both featuring open ceilings that enhance the sense of spaciousness. The master room loft space boasts a comfortable king-sized bed, projector onto the ceiling for comfy movie nights in bed, a generous open space with a private bathroom, ample closet space, and an adjoining room with a work desk and purple chair that folds down into a mattress perfect for kids. Open windows overlook the private property, framed by majestic cedars. In addition, a few yoga mats and a desk provide extra space for enjoying the morning light, engaging in some rejuvenating stretching, meditating, or dedicating time to work in the loft office.

The second room, which has been converted from a work space, offers a Queen bed and is situated at the front of the house. This room is perfect for children or additional guests, providing privacy with the use of curtains and an open ceiling (no door). This setup ensures that everyone can retire to bed at the same time, allowing for rest and relaxation.

Step outside into the private backyard, where you'll discover a serene tree-covered area, comfortable seating and a large hot tub nestled around the corner, along with a cold plunge tub if that's more your style. Immerse yourself in the soothing waters and let your tired muscles unwind after a day of exploring Tofino's breathtaking beaches. Alternatively, indulge in a glass of wine under the starry night sky as you bask in the tranquility of your surroundings.

Starlight Retreat truly offers a haven for those seeking a unique and captivating vacation rental experience. With its classic retro ambiance, rustic wood beams, vibrant artwork, and charming red and white kitchen, this loft house ensures a memorable and enchanting stay in the natural paradise of Tofino.

Great house for a family vacation in Togino

We enjoyed Starlight House. It was clean and comfortable. The whole area is very walkable and bikeable. I would stay here again. We loved the whole Tofino area. There’s so much more to do there than what we had time for. Thank you for offering your home!

3 wonderful days and nights

The Starlight Retreat property is first class. It is cozy, well built and maintained, very clean, super comfy beds, with wood burning stove for cooler nights. The hot tub was amazing. It’s a short Walt to the south entrance of Chesterman Beach. Can’t wait to come back.

Comfortable home in a great location!

3 women friends stayed for 3 nights and thoroughly enjoyed the relaxing nature of the home and private natural yardscape. The home was well-appointed and equipped. Also, we were able to sleep in our own beds with the futon in the upstairs loft. Weather was warm so we didn't take advantage of the hot tub or wood-burning stove but definitely would in colder seasons!

Well-Equipped, Peaceful Home Close to the Beach

We had a wonderful stay at this house in Tofino. It’s just a short walk to Chesterman Beach, which was absolutely stunning. The house itself was quiet, peaceful, and had everything we needed. The kitchen was impressively well-stocked with every item you could possibly need. The beds were very comfortable, and the hot tub was a perfect way to relax after a day at the beach. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others.

Second Visit to Starlight Retreat!

We really love the privacy and quiet of the house. Beds are very comfortable, and all necessary amenities are there - cozy woodstove, gas fire and a well-equipped kitchen! It is a short walk to Chesterman beach and we all enjoyed a daily relax in the hotub after hiking, exploring Ucluelet and going whale watching! We will be back again!!!

A Perfect Get-Away

Everything about this house was terrific. Everything we needed for our stay was there and there were helpful notes throughout letting us know how various appliances and things worked. Nothing was left for us to wonder about. All in all, this was an extremely comfortable and relaxing place to stay and downtown Tofino was only fifteen minutes by bike along a perfectly paved bike path. Chestermans beach was less than a ten minute walk and Long Beach was about a ten minute drive. A pretty perfect location for the things we wanted to do. And, the house was dog friendly.

The house was immaculate with many extra well thought out features such as a fully equipped kitchen with a espresso machine and complimentary coffee from a local roaster , the bed was really comfortable and the sheets were the softest we have ever experienced but most importantly the service was fantastic , all our questions were answered quickly and efficiently , we had a great little get away even with the storm of the decade 😂, certainly will be back

15 min. Walk from the Beach

The cottage had a well-equipped kitchen. The hot tub was a delight, though the outdoor shower felt like it belonged to the neighbours. The cottage is better suited to a single couple with or without children due to its open layout.

Beautiful stay in Tofino!

The Starlight Suite was the perfect spot for our 4 day stay in Tofino! Everything was just as described. The space was quiet and private, and everything we needed for light cooking, making coffee in the morning, etc. Great location - it's about a 10 minute walk to Chesterman Beach, and Tofino and other beaches are a short drive away. Soaking in the hot tub in the evenings was a great bonus! Would absolutely stay here again the next time we're in Tofino!
