Excellent views of the ocean from 2 bedrooms and main room and kitchen. Nice deck with many chairs to sit to enjoy the view. Easy drive to taco fino taco truck and to Tofino town, everyday walks along the beach and hikes nearby. We loved our stay!
Communication was excellent with the host. The house was an amazing location right on Chesterman beach! Waking up to the oceanview every morning was such a dream, truly a surfer's paradise. If you have a clear night you must go out and see the stars, they are unreal here! We will certainly be back!
Thank you so much for a great place to enjoy our time on the west coast! We loved the wood burning fireplace, the beach right outside the door and everything needed to stay comfortable for the long weekend. Miss it already!
Fabulous. The pictures underpromise, the reality over delivers.

Catching up with old friends
we had never been to Tofino and decided to book a house with another couple whom we hadn't seen for awhile. this house was perfect - on the beach, wood fire place, and lots of space. We cooked our own meals, played games, enjoyed the selection of CD's and caught up. Lots of beach walking and sightseeing.
We had a wonderful time. The House was everything they said it would be. We enjoyed the wood stove especially and the incredible view. The house had everything we needed and it was a joy to stay there. January was the perfect time to witness their storm season. The care takers were friendly and helpful.
We want to book for next year again.
Thank you so much

Hi Kathryn,
Thank you for the review. Yes Tofino is the ultimate destiantion, rain or shine. Our house is so cozy to sit in with a fier in the woodstove and a storm raging outside on the ocean. Having Keegan as our caretaker has been a godsend. He really enjoys helping out our guests, and is passionate about Tofino, water sports, restaurants, and of course his sauna.
Just give us a call or email when you want to stay next year., but don;t leave it to late, the spring and summer are booking up quickly.

Memorable Birthday
Our party of 5 celebrated a memorable birthday week at this very accommodating beach house. Perfect location well appointed kitchen ideal for 5 "foodies "who love to cook and gather around the kitchen.
It was the first time to Tofino for our friends from Ottawa who were enthralled as we were by the beachfront and the ocean. The main house was ideal for the easy relaxed visit we had hoped for. Looking forward to making this an annual event.
Thanks St. Claire for the use of your house right on the Beach. It truly is a fabulous location. Weather changes so quickly. We had sun, torrential rains and hurricane winds causing the power to go out all in 4 nights. But always had a beautiful house to come home to. Would suggest some large address numbers right off the roadway would help maybe that glowed from the street light but other than that perfect.

Thank you Nancy,
I will look into getting some brighter #s
Really truly ON the beach. Luxurious place with quaint wooden interior design. Roomy, artful, home-like (not sterile/ikea-styled; deep family getaway vibes); particularly enjoyable chef's kitchen, and master bathroom jacuzzi and heated tile floors. The master bedroom has a private balcony over the beach, and other bedrooms looked full of windows and light. Great outdoor facilities such as benches and chairs for taking coffee or drinks outside, and foot and body showers for rinsing sand off before cozying up again inside... Stereo, woodstove, dining area all great. Only con we found was a lack of window screens to keep out mosquitoes (just one screen installed) but we just hung cloth over the bedroom balcony door so we could fall asleep to the music of the sea. :) All good.

Hi Maureen,
Thank you for the review. We enjoyed having you stay with us, hopefully you will return for a longer stay next time.
Thanks for the heads up on the screens, I will add it to the list. We have had them in the past, and found they were targets to be punctured and difficult to maintain.Saint
The house was clean and is larger then we expected. Beautiful views and very close to the beach. Found the patio deck great to sit and enjoy the view and was nice that they had raised fire pits for guests to use on the beach. The sauna is not located in the house and is in a separate building. We will definitely return!
We had a lively stay. Fabulous location right on the beach. Tofino and Ucluelet were both wonderful. We did some surfing and some bear watching from the ocean, lots of yummy food and relaxation.
We very much enjoyed our stay at Chesterman Beach, the accommodations were fabulous, and location was absolutely stunning, very much look forward to staying at the property again
This is our second time at this property and it’s truly spectacular! Every corner of the cabin is unique and beautiful. We will definitely be coming back.

Cozy cabin with everything you need, beautiful location
The view of the ocean is spectacular! The cabin manages to be both spacious and cozy. The whole family was thrilled with it, we will definitely be visiting again. They had everything we needed, including surf boards and a sauna, kitchen utensils, cozy beds, and a wood stove. The location on Chesterman Beach is perfect. The hosts were friendly and responsive.
The beach is a dozen steps from the front porch, and the views from every front window are magnificent. Wish we could have taken the Stickley-inspired recliner home with us. Owner’s son was friendly, helpful and responsive. We will come here again!

About the host
Hosted by St Clair McColl
The Story of Chahayis. Janet and Saint, visited this piece of paradise as early teenagers. When they got married with kids they decided it was a good idea to expose their kids to the invigorating environment of Clayoquot. After staying in a couple of B&B's they decided to buy some dirt. Chahayis was Born! First they camped, then pulled up a travel trailer, then they started to build. Saint spent a summer working as a seaplane pilot in Tofino, while he supervised the construction, ensuring Chahayis and the home he was building reflected the westcoast environment. Although their 3 sons have now grown into their 20's and 30's, they all spend as much time as they can revitalizing themselves on at Chahayis. You may experience for yourself the reluctance of having to leave this spiritual spot, that Janet and Saint hope one day to retire to.
Why they chose this property
Chahayis, is unique in that its architectural features reflect so soundly the Clayouqout environment. It is situated on the south part of Chesteman Beach, which offers a benign environment to the beginner surfer, or boogie boarder. We are in close proximity to the rocky head lands of Rosie Bay which afford you of hours of exploring the tidal pools, caves, blow wholes, and tunnels to Cox Bay. Or you can venture for a 40 minute stoll along the beach to the world renown Relais Chateaux Wickinninnish Beach resort for a cocktail or a steam and a massage in their Cedar Spa. Our home on the property can accommodate various group sizes, from a romantic couple, small family, or a large family reunion.
