Steps to Chesterman Beach - Cedar Shack - West Cost Cottage & Private Hot Tub

200' from Stunning Chesterman Beach Vacation Cottage with Private Hot Tub

Cedar Shack Cottage, located across the road from Chesterman Beach, is named by many a tucked-away Tofino Gem and is a favourite with families and couples. The cabin offers two bedrooms, each with a queen bed, high-quality linen and duvets, a bright open-concept living-dining area, a gas fireplace, and a cozy living room with a bay window and skylights. A full, well-appointed kitchen provides ample space to cook all your meals.

Off the master bedroom, relax on the deck furnished with cedar Adirondack Chairs, a Weber gas BBQ, and your private hot tub. Cedar Shack Cottage is thoughtfully designed with guests' comfort in mind. Decorated with beautiful local artwork, many personal touches will make your stay memorable. The cabin's natural vegetation provides privacy, yet you are close enough to hear the ocean, and it's just a two-minute walk across the road from spectacular Chesterman Beach. Cedar Shack Cottage is ideal beachside accommodation for two couples or a small family.

Cedar Shack

Enjoyed our stay immensely. Close to everything we wanted to do and could hear the ocean at night which was a bonus. The little wagon to transport our belongings was very handy. Hot tub was perfect after a long day of exploring all the different beaches. We would definitely stay here again.

Storm watching

Just what we were looking for. Stayed over Xmas and it was windy and rainy and perfect for storm watching. Had one day of no rain and even a bit of blue sky for a great cycle into Tofino and a stop for coffee. Cottage had everything we needed including a really comfy bed.

Tofino's best kept secret

Four of us stayed for 4 days in October 2024. The VRBO was absolutely perfect with nothing spared. Our host does a fabulous job of taking care of your every wish. Very comfortable and just a minutes walk to the beach. And the weather was unexpected...so warm and sunny mostly. Chesterman Beach is so beautiful. And the whole area is so spectacular. Fabulous wide and paved bike trails from Toffino to Uceulet. Thanks for the memories!!

Cute and cozy cabin

This was a great setting for our 3 night romantic winter getaway to Tofino and Pacific Rim National Park. Arriving after a long drive in relentless rain, we were delighted to discover this welcoming little cabin toasty warm, with flameless candles glowing and a dish of Swiss chocolates. Tucked away from the street behind the main house, it’s surrounded by hedges for privacy and green views out every window. Appreciated the fast WiFi and Netflix to cozy up on the sofa next to the gas wood stove. The jacuzzi was fantastic after a walk on the beach (right across the street). Everything was extremely clean and well maintained. 10/10 would stay again.

Weekend Addition

We were already in Tofino staying at a different resort and decided to stay the weekend. Fortunately, the Cedar Shack was available. It's a cute space - clean, well-appointed and quick walk to Chesterman Beach. Booking, check-in and all communication with the host was great. Only thing to mention is that while the unit is reasonably private, it is located on the owner's property which wasn't clear in the listing. No big deal. Just an FYI.

Cozy, quiet, close to beach

Came out to Tofino for a quick winter getaway and to connect with family. Cedar shack had everything we needed to do that. The beds are on the small size but otherwise it was comfy and clean. We would have appreciated the hot tub being pre- warmed for us as it took an entire day to heat up enough to use.Overall great experience.

About the host

Hosted by Barbara

Host profile image
I visited Tofino in the early 80s for what was supposed to be a one-month stay. My husband, Daniel (originally from Quebec), landed in Tofino in the late '60s. We raised two wonderful daughters in Tofino who were fortunate enough to grow up and surf a towel throw from our home. We have been in the Vacation Rental business in Tofino for 20-plus years. After more than 4 decades of living in paradise, we still live the dream. We love sharing this dream with travellers worldwide and look forward to welcoming you. We love travelling, hiking, gardening, biking, walking beaches and spoiling our super awesome grandsons.I grew up in Austria and made my way to Tofino in the early '80s, planning for just a month-long stay. My husband Daniel, who’s from Quebec, first landed in Tofino back in the late '60s. We raised two amazing daughters here, and they had the chance to surf just a towel’s throw away from our home. We've been running a vacation rental business in Tofino for over 20 years now. After more than 40 years in this beautiful spot, we’re still living the dream. We love sharing that dream with travellers from all over and can’t wait to welcome you. In our spare time, we enjoy travelling, hiking, gardening, biking, walking along the beach, and, of course, spoiling our awesome grandsons.

Why they chose this property

Its the best on Canada's West-Coast, we are super close to the beach just a short 2 min stroll and yet close enough to hear the waves. Our property is surrounded by natural vegetation for maximum privacy, its quiet, pristine and a stones throw to the worlds best beach.

What makes this property unique

We live on a half-acre property located just steps away from the beautiful Chesterman Beach. Our property is designed to provide optimal privacy for our guests. The lovely gardens feature abundant natural vegetation, including 40-year-old rhododendrons, stunning azaleas, and various flowering trees and shrubs. Many have described it as a slice of heaven.
