Amazing!

The property was wonderful, close to the beach for quick walks. And the staff at TVR are very lovely and accommodating. And quick to reply when you need a hand. You can tell they love Tofino as much as our family loves Tofino. Would highly recommend.

Great location, minutes walk from Chesterman beach. We’ll set up, clean, perfect for families with pets. Backyard was great with fire pit and hot tub. If you need to split fire wood, you’ll need to bring you own hatchet.

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.

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 ☺️
