Weekend getaway

The property is tucked into its own little forest so it feels very private. Roomy, bright, very clean and has all the amenities including a wine fridge and a nice espresso machine. Very comfy beds, and lots of games in the living room. Perfect for the 6 of us. Highly recommend The Dunes for your stay in Tofino!

The perfect vacation house!

My roommates and I stayed here for a little staycation/surf trip and the house was amazing! Very tidy when we arrived and the hot tub was such a lovely bonus! The location was perfect, so close to the beach, town, and tacofino etc. All in all would 100% stay here again!

Dunes House

Easy walk to beach, quick drive into Tofino, house is light and airy, perfect for a long or short stay. We were out and about day and night so didn't really utilize all the features provided. Will do so next time!

Chesterman life, gorgeous and comfortable

Great location, just two blocks to the beach and a quick 5 minute walk to Tacofino, coffee and more. We stayed here for 5 days in early August and loved it. Plus, the coffee situation is amazing!! We will be back!

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.

Lovely stay in hideaway house close to beach

We loved this house with its rainforest garden. Beatiful, clean, well equipped with an extra bonus for the kitchen. Nice outdoor deck with a lovely jaccuzzi. We would gladely return often if it was closer to Stockholm, Sweden. :-)

Short family trip

The Dunes was great for our family. For the price, some amenities like beach chairs and updated deck furnishing would have been good. The location was not as close to the beach as we expected, but was a short walk down the road. The house was clean and comfortable. We loved the hot tub and the deck. We would definitely stay here again.

Great location-could be cleaner.

Location is amazing. Kitchen is totally stocked with great utensils. Unfortunately, washrooms weren’t very clean (toilets etc) and we couldn’t use the hot tub as our eyes burned from too much chlorine.

Great Location

The Dunes is situated a short walk to the beach in a very peaceful quiet setting. The house is well equipped with the exception of the lack of a sound system for music. The kitchen is great as are the beds. It is about a 40 minute walk to town on a nice pave trail. The garden could use a little love but there was a definite rainforest feel especially out in the hot tub. It is very bright friendly space.

Excellent location, home needs some TLC

Beautiful home an amazing location easy access to Chesterman beach. The property was as described however many elements are worn out and could use some updating. For example wine fridge doesn’t work, hot tub lightning and jets were not working properly, barbeque is a safety concern and more of an oven, screens missing in windows, and outdoor patio furniture was not really usable. Overall the home is tired and needs TLC. Despite these shortcomings we had a great time.
