Fantastic Family Cabin

This lovely cabin looked special on the VRBO listing, but was much more spectacular in person. It is wonderfully large and well laid out. It was fantastic for us as a couple, but it would suit a family or larger group extremely well. Thanks for everything!!

Spring Break Getaway

Beautiful house in the woods for a wonderful weekend getaway. Location is an easy walk to the beach and plenty of shops and restaurants. We rented boogie boards and wetsuits at Swell (Hotel Zed) next door and had a great time in the water at Chesterman despite the rainy weather. Fell asleep with the sound of rain on the skylights in cozy beds for the rainforest experience. House is thoughtfully stocked with beach towels, books, games, bluetooth speaker, smart TV, BBQ tools, kitchen appliances and everything else we needed to make it an easy stay. Would love to book here again!

Submersible Tofino

The cabin is in a really good location. It is within walking distance to Chestermans Beach as well as several dining choices. There is full internet and cable TV at the cabin as well. I would recommend this cabin to anyone looking to visit Tofino

(Fire pit with lovely chairs & ample firewood as well as a nice patio table on the deck). The couches were super comfy too. Sunsets were only a 12 minute walk away. We will beback!

Thank you so much for sharing your cottage with us. We had a wonderful time! The cottage had everything we needed and was such a handy location close to everything. A little bit noisy next to the road, but so enjoyable that it didn’t matter!

Christmas In Tofino

Wonderful property short walk from the beach and short cycle it drive to the town. My wife and I spent Christmas to New Year here. The highlight for me was the outdoor shower which is quite the experience in a storm! Property was clean and everything as advertised. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful accomodations in a time of need

Our team needed a place to stay while working in Tofino and staying at Rebecca's was so much niceer than being stuck in a hotel. Hoping someday to have the oppurtunity to come back again. Our guys just loved it.

The cabin is fantastic! Lots of rooms, kitchen is fully stocked and the living area is cozy. We enjoyed the fireplace and the out door shower to rinse off after the beach (there is one inside too). The property is close to the beach and in walking distance to some shops and a close drive to the downtown area. Highly recommended!

A wonderful home close to beaches

This home away from home was efficient and clean. Our small family reunion was well accommodated. We needed for nothing. Check in was simple and the owner was easily reached. A small hotel restaurant was an easy walk for small breakfast items. We would gladly stay again.

Tofino treasure

Wonderful cabin! Very clean and well stocked. Loved the fire pit! Ideal for a family getaway. Would highly recommend. A bit close to the highway which got busy and added some road noise. But traffic slows down in the evening.

Awesome location!

Rebecca's property has everything: privacy, great fire pit (with wood), outdoor shower, clothesline and 3 wonderful bedrooms. Bonus: they are pet friendly! Although this is on the Pacific Rim Hwy, the noise did not bother us and the Multi Use Trail is just outside the door. Walking distance to food, and Chesterman Beach and plenty of parking! We will bring our bikes next time! Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Rebecca Sharp

Host profile image
Our Summerisle Cottage was purchased and renovated as our family escape in 2009. Three generations of our family use the cottage to escape to the wild west coast for surfing, hiking and just being together as a family. Come and see why travellers love Tofino!

Why they chose this property

Welcome to an amazing, clean, landscaped cottage with loft! Privacy, beachcombing and surfing and whalewatching opportunities abound. Relaxing on our sunny, luxurious deck is always an option... The west coast of Vancouver Island is so unique in its beauty and diversity between the ocean and the surrounding mountains. We bought this property to enjoy the best of both worlds.

What makes this property unique

The cottage is set in the forest and is a short walk to spectacular Chesterman's Beach. There are several other beautiful beaches and a National Park within a short drive. We are located a 5 minute drive to the village, which has specialty shops, grocery, liquor and a wide selection of gum boots to be found.
