The perfect vacation house!

My roommates and I stayed here for a little staycation/surf trip and the house was amazing! Very tidy when we arrived and the hot tub was such a lovely bonus! The location was perfect, so close to the beach, town, and tacofino etc. All in all would 100% stay here again!

Chesterman life, gorgeous and comfortable

Great location, just two blocks to the beach and a quick 5 minute walk to Tacofino, coffee and more. We stayed here for 5 days in early August and loved it. Plus, the coffee situation is amazing!! We will be back!

Dunes House

Easy walk to beach, quick drive into Tofino, house is light and airy, perfect for a long or short stay. We were out and about day and night so didn't really utilize all the features provided. Will do so next time!

Lovely stay in hideaway house close to beach

We loved this house with its rainforest garden. Beatiful, clean, well equipped with an extra bonus for the kitchen. Nice outdoor deck with a lovely jaccuzzi. We would gladely return often if it was closer to Stockholm, Sweden. :-)

Great location-could be cleaner.

Location is amazing. Kitchen is totally stocked with great utensils. Unfortunately, washrooms weren’t very clean (toilets etc) and we couldn’t use the hot tub as our eyes burned from too much chlorine.

Second stay at the Dunes House

This was our second stay at this property . We rented this house about 8 years ago and loved everything about it. the property is close to the beach, coffee shop and the new bike trail. However, we could not help but notice that it is in need of some TLC and looking pretty worn. It would also be nice to have screens on the windows and some outdoor seating that is comfortable. I would still recommend it to others as the benefits out weighed the negatives.

Short family trip

The Dunes was great for our family. For the price, some amenities like beach chairs and updated deck furnishing would have been good. The location was not as close to the beach as we expected, but was a short walk down the road. The house was clean and comfortable. We loved the hot tub and the deck. We would definitely stay here again.

Great Location

The Dunes is situated a short walk to the beach in a very peaceful quiet setting. The house is well equipped with the exception of the lack of a sound system for music. The kitchen is great as are the beds. It is about a 40 minute walk to town on a nice pave trail. The garden could use a little love but there was a definite rainforest feel especially out in the hot tub. It is very bright friendly space.

Excellent location, home needs some TLC

Beautiful home an amazing location easy access to Chesterman beach. The property was as described however many elements are worn out and could use some updating. For example wine fridge doesn’t work, hot tub lightning and jets were not working properly, barbeque is a safety concern and more of an oven, screens missing in windows, and outdoor patio furniture was not really usable. Overall the home is tired and needs TLC. Despite these shortcomings we had a great time.

Great North Chesterman Beach location

In keeping with general Tofino ambiance, external siding is weathered but inside is lovely and updated. Property is well-treed with interesting nooks and seating areas, though some external seating cushion-free and uncomfortable. Location fantastic - easy 3 min stroll to beach and 10 min walk to coffee, groceries, ice cream, tacos, burgers and bikes. Tofino is 5-10 minutes away by car. **Also Check DriveBC to get highway 4 status info - highway delays in our trips were 2-3 hours.* I found Communication with rental agent to be curt and slow, which is why I ranked that aspect low. As just one example, access instructions didn’t appear on my VRBO app even in day before checkin. So I sent email via VRBO app asking for access instructions 24 hours before check-in and still had not heard back the next day, 10 minutes before check-in! I had to call and agent did text access code immediately. Agent blamed issue on VRBO and then subsequently noted that access info was buried in a confirmation e-mail (outside VRBO app) sent 4 months prior - apparently my fault for not noticing
