Had a great stay. The surf room the outdoor showers and sauna/cold shower really makes this property a MUST return to.
Exceptional house! We had everything we needed and wanted (including great weather) for a fantastic 5 day stay. We enjoyed everything about the house - the sauna, the hot tub, the chairs by the beach, the firepit, the beach access, the chairs by the beach, the comfy bedrooms … all made for an excellent stay. We did not want to ever leave. Highly recommend!

Beautiful house in a perfect location...
Excellent beachside accommodation for 6. Steps to the surf and a fully equipped wet room for when you are done. Hot tub and sauna were well used on winter days. Very well equipped kitchen. Everything super clean and in good order. Will be back!
We had an amazing time at this property, the location and the amenities were incredible. The hosts were welcoming of our pets and that’s a great plus!

Thanks Meghan. You can't beat the views on Chesterman Beach. They get better and better the more you experience them. We welcome you and your family back anytime!
Very good. Great views from everywhere. Great location. Master bath needs painting and upgrading like bath on lower level. Grab bars needed. Mattress too soft and squishy as were pillows. Well equipped kitchen.

Keeps Us Coming Back for More
This was our 4th year at Surfside Lodge - we have been coming every year and hope to for many years to come to Celebrate our Wedding Anniversary - this year was our 29th and because of Covid and not wanting to travel abroad we found this "hidden" gem!!! - Staying at Surfside allows us to bring our Kids and their significant others and our dogs - we can all celebrate together and make Memories to last a lifetime - Surfside is the PERFECT place to do this - so much space for 6 Adults and yet so many spaces to spend time together - the dinning room table is one of our favorite spots - to eat at, play games at and just sit and watch the hours slip by while you are constantly entertained by the HUGE picture window that has the best view of paradise. The new bathroom is fantastic, the fully stocked kitchen, super comfy beds, sauna (AMAZING) and hot tub - and the adirondack chairs ugh I could go on and on but really nothing I say could do Surfside justice it is truly something you need to experience yourself - now onto Tofino Vacation Rentals - WOW what a company to deal with, the "special" touches they leave you to welcome you to your stay and super friendly staff that are always able to help out with anything you need are amazing to have so close - we ran out of dishwasher tablets this trip and they were brought to us extremely fast - they go above and beyond to make sure your stay is exceptional and it will be!! We hope to come to Surfside every year for our anniversary and to bring our family - it is such a slice of heaven - book it you won't be disappointed!!
