Comfy, cozy , beautiful place

Our family of 3 had a great time! loved being close to the beach, the house was spacious and it was peaceful to sit on the deck and listen to the sound of the waves in the distance. Our toddler loved all the books and to play in the yard as well- thanks for being so friendly and accommodating!

Perfectly restful

The Hacienda is perfect for a restful stay. The cottage is very well equipped and is so comfortable and cozy. It’s in such a quiet and peaceful location and you can hear the ocean. The bathtub on the back deck it amazing, you can soak in the tub and listen the ocean and the breeze in the cedars, it’s even nicer in the rain. The fireplace adds a nice ambience to the living room. We walked the beach everyday to enjoy and pastries at The Tofitian cafe. There are so many things to do in the area as well as many restaurants to choose from. The Hacienda is a wonderful place to stay in a little piece of heaven.

Gem off Chesterman beach

This was our second time staying at the Hacienda and will definitely not be our last. Keane and family are incredible hosts. The property is just steps away from the beach. The space is warm and full of character. The outdoor tub is such a great experience. Looking forward to our next stay here!

Why they chose this property

This property has been in my family for the last 35+ years. We feel fortunate to have purchased it off my parents and kept it in the family.

What makes this property unique

South facing deck/ house has great sun exposure. High ceilings and many windows for lots of natural light and ventilation. Big garden and many plants inside. Outdoor shower and soaker bathtub. Directly across the street from a public beach access. You are so close, you can hear the surf from your cabin.
