About this property
Chesterman Beach Fine Art Vacation House - Walking distance to North Chesterman
Built in the early 2000’s, our 1100 sq ft open-concept family home was designed to maximize observation of nature and yet make one feel cozy and sheltered from the elements. Vaulted ceilings and ample windows allow lots of natural light into the house. There are sheer curtains that provide privacy but no black out curtains which allows you to observe where the sun, moon and stars are located in the skies. We are located in a quiet residential neighborhood. Nestled in the trees, you can hear the sound of the ocean with a secluded beach path minutes away from spectacular Chesterman Beach. We are now opening up to offer visitors a unique experience to explore nature and culture at the same time. Our home features a collection of original oil paintings and watercolors of the region painted over the last decade with a self-guided exhibition, just as you would find in a major art museum. These paintings feature different scenic landmarks of Clayoquot Sound and give visitors a unique experience and hopefully a deeper appreciation of all the surrounding nature.
In the evenings, get warm and cozy by our natural gas fireplace in the sunken living room, play somemusic and enjoy sipping some wine while taking in a large format oil painting of the rainforest.
Fall asleep on one of the 2 twin beds in the upstairs loft bedroom where lots of windows showcase the trees and starry night skies and allow you to follow the path of the moon through the night. The cozy master bedroom shares the double-sided gas fireplace with the sunken living room and has a queen bed. All our beds have comfortable sheets and duvets.
Our cedar deck comes with a propane BBQ and outdoor hot shower. The bathroom comes with heated floors, bath tub, shower and towels. Please bring your favourite bath and beauty products for your own use. We have a hairdryer for guests to use.
The kitchen with custom fir cabinetry is fully equipped with cookware , blender, coffee maker, salt and pepper etc. Dish cloths and dish soap are also provided.
The artist’s studio is in a building adjacent to the house. We are a family with young children and we live on the property in the studio and also in a suite downstairs. We are usually outdoors but occasionally you can hear the sounds of our studio grand piano floating in the air. We value your time, enjoyment and privacy during your vacation and will not be interacting with you much during your stay but should you need anything please don’t hesitate to let us know.
Please note this rental is not suitable for those looking to party. We live in a quiet residential neighbourhood with wonderful neighbours and quiet times in place. We're all here to "listen to the loons instead of the tunes." Please note you might see previous references or reviews describing a hot tub. We no longer have a hot tub in operation. Thank you. We are also a licensed Short Term Rental business in Tofino operating under license number # 20170222

The property is located within 10 minutes walk (with surfboard) to Chesterman Beach and within 5 minutes of Tofino proper. The property is very quiet and tranquil.
We stayed for the second time at Esther's property and would gladly stay again. It had everything we needed in the kitchen to cook, plenty of space to relax and for the kids to play.
Terrific location and cute and comfortable home. We had an issue with cleanliness when we arrived (because of a prior guest) but Esther was super responsive and quick to answer.
Absolutely loved our stay here. The living area is so spacious and lovely having back patio to sit out in the sun when hitting nicely. Communication was good and the location for beach closeby and driving to Tofino great. Would be nice if there was better bathroom amenities provided for group of four but overall great stay and would recommend this place
We had a comfortable stay in the house. The property is spacious and kitchen relatively well equipped. Beds were comfortable and the shower was powerful and hot. We were happy with our stay but the house is a bit tired in places. The price reflects this and made it affordable for us to stay in the area. It’s a few minutes walk to chesterman beach which was stunningly beautiful as always. The outside area could have been improved as it is now hugely overgrown. The host was really helpful and there appeared to be a caretaker on site if we had had any urgent issues. A lovely stay in Tofino overall. We have visited and stayed in the area a number of times. Tofino has grown a lot over the years. Lots to see and do.
Place was clean, great location. Did smell like a dog had been there, but it is a pet friendly accommodation. Kitchen well stocked. Clear instructions for check in and checkout. Would definitely book again.

The house could use a deep clean. The fridge needs to be replaced. Freezer works great fridge is just cool not cold. Vegetation is starting to consume the property and the house. Should be cut back. For my son and I it was fine. Probably not for everyone.
Location, location, kitchen! Best equipped kitchen I've seen in a short term rental and just a 5-minute walk from Chesterman Beach down a nice forested path.
The host was easy to communicate with Verbo was terrible so won’t use verbal again would use the property again found the appliances a little tricky. The fridge wasn’t cold. The freezer was very cold. The dishwasher was a little iffy, but overall it was a great location and a decent place to stay.

Yes the kitchen was fully equipped and clean. The fireplace was difficult to turn on although we had instructions. We couldn’t get it to start.
Could have used a toaster - rather than the toaster oven that wasn’t ideal. And perhaps the screens around the deck could be replaced. The ones there were very dirty and in disrepair.
