Great location in that it’s so near the beach & only minutes away from Tofino. Liked the privacy the house offered with its secluded setting in the woods and enjoyed the hot tub. Kitchen counters could definitely stand a revarnish as they showed marks & had a stickiness to the surface. Was surprised to find a small pedestal sink in the only bath upstairs that is to service two bedrooms as there’s no place for any cosmetics, etc, otherwise enjoyed our stay at The Dunes

Great property within walking distance from a beautiful beach in a nice quiet area. The place was clean - only complaint was many of the cooking dishes needed to be re-washed prior to use but I suspect it was a previous renter that slipped past the cleaner. Would recommend the place and would stay again!

Great location. Nice layout and wonderful private deck and hot tub space. Very close to Chesterman beach. Kitchen is well equipped. There are some minor things - kitchen counters are wood and seem to be permanently sticky. Might need a refinish. No screens on the windows so if you want a cross breeze it’s possible for bugs to fly in. Wasn’t a huge issue but worth noting. Check in process was smooth.

Disliked: Cleanliness
We were very excited to find a VRBO that offered two bedrooms and two bathrooms, plus large kitchen and options to enjoy company and games. The price was much higher than most, but we thought it would be worth it for comfort and space for two couples.Upon arrival, we noticed right away that the kitchen counter tops were very very sticky. After we thoroughly cleaned them ourselves, we realized that the wood finish has not been done correctly for 'kitchen use'. Dishes, hot plates, pots, cups...literally everything was sticking to the counters. And that was not the end of the uncleanliness of the place. The following is a list of our disappointments;Due to the stickiness of the kitchen countertops, the stains do not come out eitherOven door must be held closed for the oven to operateWine fridge does not work at allUpper bathroom tub does not drain wellLighter for the BBQ does not workBBQ spark starter, does not workSliding glass door foot lock does not line upThe coffee steamer wand was filthy, so we did not use itOther areas that were of concern as a user include;It would have been nice to have a light over the table for game playing; a ceramic tea pot (not a metal one), information on how to run each of the appliances and the heating system; additional blankets and pillows in each bedroom; wall hangers and bedside table in 2nd bedroom. The whole place could really use a paint job. The door jams and electric heating in bathrooms are particularly bad.
Do you think this is a 5 star item?? Come on
Sticky mess below handle of sliding glass door
Door jam needs paint
Rusting our electrical cover in both bathrooms ... just needs paint

A hidden gem in a very quiet area. A nestled hot tub in the trees in a private backyard. Large kitchen for cooking and well appointed rooms. Would come back again!

Amazing Spot, Just Needs a Bit of a Refresh

We loved the amazing location of this property, it’s truly what makes the stay worthwhile. The home has a lot of potential and could be really special with some thoughtful updates. That said, it felt a bit run down in certain areas and would benefit from improvements like upgraded beds (king size would be great), more bathroom counter space, fresh linens, and better amenities.Cleanliness could be improved as well. We found only a small amount of a sticky cleaning product for the counters, which already felt unclean, and the coffee machine still had dried milk residue on the foam wand. A fresh coat of paint and a general revamp would go a long way in enhancing the overall experience.The kids’ play area also had tall, uncut grass it looked like it had been completely forgotten, which was disappointing since we were hoping the kids could enjoy that space.Overall, you’re definitely paying for the location, not the quality of the home itself. With a few upgrades, this place could be a real gem.

It had all the amenities we needed.

It was well stocked so that we could make all our meals in the kitchen, the hot tub water was heated and the BBQ worked perfectly. Additionally, it was in a nice location thst was quiet and peaceful.Initially, the dryer tripped off prematurely but the manager quickly responded to the issue.

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.
