About this property

Dream Cottage - Luxurious, Private, Hot Tub - Chesterman Beach

Tofino Dream Cottage is a stunning example of contemporary West Coast architecture. This timber-framed, bright spacious home is located in the midst of its own half-acre professionally landscaped gardens. It is private, yet only a 3 minute walk down a sandy path is spectacular Chesterman Beach. Surfing, beachcombing and close proximity to surf rentals, an array of neighbourhood shops restaurants, cafes, and the village of Tofino. Here is accommodation that offers it all. Tofino Dream Cottage will be enjoyed by everyone: It is a wonderful place for couples seeking a romantic retreat. It is a superb place for a group getaway. It is a perfect family home for adults and children.

We built this beautiful westcoast vacation home by the sea for family, friends and the many visiting guests who come to celebrate this spectacular location. The cottage harmonizes a nice flow between outdoor and indoor living spaces. The outdoor hot tub and expansive multi-level decks surround the home and reach out to the forest edge. Manicured gardens, total privacy, dramatic forest landscape and the beach nearby, make Dream Cottage the perfect getaway retreat..
We hope you choose Dream Cottage for your getaway and that you become one of our many returning guests.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed this property! It’s quiet and private with beautiful landscaping, perfect for enjoying a sunny afternoon on the deck playing cards. The home is quiet (no road noise) and spacious. The location is perfect! Walking distance to the beach and a short drive into Tofino. I highly recommend this property for those seeking tranquility and relaxation.

An incredible experience at the appropriately named Dream Cottage. It was heavenly...from the beautiful location, exquisite cedar home with a multitude of windows to truly experience the breathtaking views, direct access to the beach, clean and relieving hot tub following a day of surfing. It was the perfect stay!

We had a lovely time in this beautiful, well-kept home. There was an issue upon check in that was quickly resolved by the property manager, which we appreciated. We enjoyed the hot tub after cool, rainy days and the spacious kitchen for preparing Thanksgiving dinner. Would definitely rent this home again.

Fantastic location and a beautiful home. Spacious kitchen with all you need for cooking and loved the open living space and fireplace. Such a lovely west coast feel. The hot tub was a bonus. Great for a group of 6. The short walk to Chesterman beach and proximity to the town of Tofino makes this a great spot for a home base. Or, you can just hang out there and enjoy the serenity!
