Beautiful Home
We had the most amazing stay at Cedar Sands! The house was incredibly well set up; the kitchen had everything we needed, the beds and linens so comfy, and the salt spring island soaps and shampoos etc made it feel so luxurious. Honestly the best stocked and nicest set-up vacation rental I've ever stayed in. The hot tub was a huge highlight for our whole family! Great location so close to Cox Bay Beach and a short drive into town. Definitely recommend and will book again!

Lovely stay!
We really loved cedar sands! Great location, nice and clean, brilliant facilities and attentive and friendly property managers. We’ll definitely be back soon!
We really enjoyed our stay at Cedar Sands Cox Bay. The house was perfect with excellent amenities, able to enjoy the hot tub and sauna. It was quiet, peaceful and relaxing tucked back in the beautiful forest. The location was perfect with walking distance to beaches and a quick drive into Tofino. The property management was very thoughtful making sure we had everything we needed and were having an exceptional stay. Made for a very memorable weekend.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I am really happy to hear you enjoyed such a peaceful and relaxing stay and that everything came together for a memorable weekend. I would love to welcome you back again anytime.
The host was super easy to work with, and the tenant in the suite below was either very quiet or not home because we felt completely alone in the middle of the forest which was the goal! The home was perfectly set up and cozy - the only thing missing was food storage containers but otherwise all was fantastic!
Well-appointed home that allowed us to cook hassle-free meals (air fryer!), very comfortable beds, and the hot tub and sauna were an extra treat. Host was thoughtful and responsive, connecting with us after our first night to ensure we had everything we needed, and again at departure to alert us ti adverse driving conditions. Absolutely would stay again.

A perfect weekend getaway!
Our stay at Cedar Sands was perfect. The house had everything we needed for our weekend stay. We were impressed by all the extras in it, a kitchen filled with everything you could ever think of needing, board games, movies, outdoor toys (balls, badminton etc). The wood burning sauna and hot tub made our one rainy day special. The location was great, we walked the quick walk to Cox Bay daily to enjoy the beach. Could not have been better.
We enjoyed the properties. It has a very well stocked kitchen and great outdoor amenities. Highly recommend.

Great place for a family
This house is central to everything you need. Close to town and the beach. Information center is almost next door. We loved having the firepit to make smores/hotdogs. Our girls also loved the jacuzzi. House is surrounded by cedars. Great place for a family!
Our family of 6 really enjoyed our stay at Cedar Sands. It was a perfect home for 6 people. Loved the hot tub, great big table for games and family meals and the kitchen was well-stocked. Excellent location within walking distance to Cox Bay and a short drive to Tofino. Would definitely stay here again.
