Walkable beach location

We had a great week in the Whitewater cabin! You are just a block from South Chesterman beach which made for beautiful daily walks. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The rooms are a generous size + the hot tub was perfect as chillier nights set in.

Lovely relaxing getaway

We had a great stay for 4 days. The home is like a 2 minute walk to the beach which is amazing. They were kind enough to send us some firewood and the home also had many little hidden touches that most other rentals wouldn’t have. The main bedroom mattress could use a bit of flipping and/or fluffing as it’s a bit ‘dippy’ but that’s probably my only negetive comment. Great stay and we would come back for sure.

Great spot to stay in Tofino - Chesterman Beach

We stayed for 4 nights for Spring Break with our teenage children, and had a great time. The location is prime, Chesterman is a wonderful place to stay and to hang out. The walk to the beach is maybe 2 min max. The house is nice, comfortable and cozy with great amenities. Hot tub, fire pit, big comfortable beds and high speed internet. Win First time using VRBO and had a great experience. Will leverage this service again.

Whitewater get away

I hadn’t been to Chesterman Beach in a while and it felt so good to come back. The house was beautiful and was within close walking distance to the beach and was well equipped. The owner responds very quickly with any questions you may have. I love the not tub and fire pit area at the back of the house. Would definitely love to return.

Everything was perfect...just one wish...more hot tub time

Place was gorgeous. Super easy check in. Really cold inside which took a little heating up. But with everything else being so perfect, it was a small detail. I emailed the owner to ask about the hot tub before I booked because I deal with chronic pain and it was my only prerequisite for this trip. The owner did say it was available and is for the guests in the rental suites only. I was STOKED!! Unfortunately the owner did not tell me that it was only available for use until 10 30pm. With those time constraints, and a 10,000 word University project due on that Sunday, I only got in the hot tub once. I do my due diligence on researching anywhere I stay and I don't remember seeing those times posted in the ad. I did just look it up and the owner does have a time limit on noise for 10 30pm. It was just 2 of us. Quiet individuals getting away from the little human. lol

We expected more

This VRBO was ok. I’m very surprised at the amount of money this cost, to the poor maintenance of the property. I’m going to summarize my review into a plusses and minuses. Plus: - The kitchen was well stocked and had everything needed for 4 people. - The distance to Chesterman beach was a plus. Short walk, and interesting. - Bathroom Essentials were well stocked. - Enjoyed the two complimentary beers provided. - The beds, pillows and blankets were comfortable and well received. - It’s nice to have a hot tub in the back yard. - Internet worked well. Minus: - Kitchen faucet tap was broken and popped off immediately after use. - The provided bluetooth speakers were completely dead, and would not recharge. This is a common problem as per the internet, and was frustrating. - The bathroom door does not lock. - The rear door to the backyard would not stay closed without locking it. - For the amount that we paid, I would expect fully stocked wood in the backyard for fires. It’s frustrating to have to go buy $17 overpriced wood at CO-OP when the owner can spend $150 for a cord that lasts the summer. - No “Pokey Stick” for the fire. - The hot tub lid was broken and waterlogged. This owner has a whole list of rules regarding the hot tub, but because the lid was in such poor maintenance. They don’t seem to care at all. - Poor shower-head in the bathroom. Overall. This should have been better.

Perfect getaway

Stayed here with my partner and two dogs for our anniversary and everything was perfect. The kitchen was incredibly well-stocked, and all rooms were very spacious - more than enough for us! We enjoyed the hot tub nearly every day, which was a treat. Great location with a short walk to Chesterman. Though it’s right off the Pacific Rim Highway, the noise is nearly negligible. Also 10/10 communication with Tofino Rental Vacations, who checked in with us on day one and were always available if we needed anything. Would definitely stay here again!

The Best Stay

We stayed at Whitewater for 4 nights during our trip to Tofino on June and it was by far our best stay ever. The house was private, clean, well-equipped, and the perfect place for us, two kids and dogs to land at the end of every day. Everything we could have needed was already there and the proximity to the beach made our trips super fast and easy. After this, we will no longer be booking hotel rooms for our trips- we will definitely be back ☺️

Stunning home

We couldn't fault our stay at Whitewater. The property is beautiful - so spacious, stylish and well-equipped. It's only a couple of minutes walk to South Chesterman Beach or a walk/cycle to some great local spots (hotel/bar, food truck, local ice creams, small grocery store etc) in the other direction. Danielle the host and Matt the owner were both really helpful and friendly. We'd book again in a heartbeat if we're lucky enough to come back to Tofino!
