I’m glad you felt so comfortable and enjoyed your time in Tofino. I’d be happy to welcome you back on your next visit.
We had an amazing time at skylight cottage. The house is wonderful and the hot tub is just amazing. The only thing that stood out to us as maybe needing some attention was the dining room chairs. The fake leather was starting to peel and was making a mess in the floor.
Everything was as I expected. Just wish I had more time in Tofino :(

I’m really glad to hear everything met your expectations! It’s true, time in Tofino always feels too short — hopefully you’ll get a chance to come back and explore more on your next visit.
Amazing property for a cozy and relaxing vacation. The house is set up so nicely for everyone to have their own private area. Communication and coordination with house manager was flawless!

Amazing stay in tofino
We had a wonderful stay at Skylight Cottage! Communication was always friendly and smooth. The cottage felt like a true home away from home— super clean, cozy, and equipped with everything we needed. It's also very baby-friendly, which made our stay even more comfortable.
The location was amazing—close to everything. We also loved how the area is surrounded by trees, perfect for peaceful walks or morning runs.
One of our favorite features was the cedar-canopied hot tub and bbq on the deck.
Check in was easy and the messaging very helpful. The kitchen was great and we cooked each evening. Only siggestion is to check numbers of bowls, glasses etc to check there are sufficient for the number pf guests (eg there were only 4 bowls, perhaps because of previous breakages?)

We loved our stay. The property was clean and very well appointed. Beds were extra comfy and it was a short bike ride to beaches, shops and town. Would definitely stay again.

Directions & entry requirements were clear and provided in advance. Location was Perfect, close to everything.
Spacious for 4 girls travelling with a bed for each of us. A complete kitchen to enjoy making breakfast there to start our day. Would highly recommend and would be my to go place if I were back in the area again. Very Clean and the laundry and hot tub were additional perks. Thank You for an Amazing Stay.
This is a great house from which to explore Tofino. We enjoyed the quietness of the property. The house is nicely laid out, cozy and clean. The kids enjoyed the hot tub.

We're grateful for your review and happy to hear you had an enjoyable stay. You and your group are welcome back anytime!
Beautiful and private location in the trees. Quick drive to town and beaches, easy walking distance of the brewery and distillery. We thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor space (hottub, firepit, etc.) Very cozy inside, love the wood detailing/skylights and the soaps provided smell divine. Hosts were responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay here again!

Thank you Laina. You were a great guest and we welcome you back anytime!
Our stay at the Skylight Cottage was perfect. The property is perfectly private while being centrally located. The cottage was beautiful with all the amenities. The kids loved their rooms and being able to have a little room to play outside. However, we were so close to all the amazing beaches, shops and restaurants we spent most of our time exploring.

Thank you Melanie. we hope to have you and your family back for another visit!
We had a great stay here. It was clean and tidy when we arrived, minus the hot tub that needed a bit of extra care. The manager had it taken care of quickly and we were very happy with everything else. Great location, and comfortable for the group of 5 we had. Well-equipped kitchen. They thought of everything. Would definitely stay again.

Thanks for notifying us again and allowing the hot tub company to return to correct the issue. We are thrilled you enjoyed the Cottage. We hope to host you another time!
Everything was fit for royalty. It was really cozy and clean. The only problem was that the front door wouldn’t lock from the outside

Beautiful home! We can't wait to do this again :)
My husband and kids had never been to Tofino, and I hadn’t been back in nearly 20 years—so much has changed in this little town! I couldn’t believe how busy it is now! Thankfully, we were lucky to find accommodations just minutes from town and the nearby beaches.
Skylight Cottage completely exceeded our expectations. It’s such a beautiful home, thoughtfully designed with natural elements like handcrafted wood railings and accents. The bathroom was modern, the rooms were spacious, and the hot tub out back was a wonderful bonus! The space felt so bright, open, and welcoming—everyone slept soundly in the cozy beds.
Everything we needed for a relaxing vacation was provided, so we didn’t have to bring much—just ourselves! I especially loved the hand soap and shampoo/conditioner, which smelled amazing and were made by local Vancouver Island businesses. A lovely touch!
We even had a couple of rainy days, but there were board games and books available to keep us entertained. Honestly, we loved everything about this place and didn’t want to leave! We’re already looking forward to coming back to Tofino next summer—and we’ll definitely be booking with TofinoVR again!
