Everything We Hoped For

This cozy getaway was exactly what we anticipated! The location is excellent with easy access to walking trails, beach, coffee shops, restaurants and groceries, yet it's nestled away in the woods with privacy. We appreciated how well stocked the kitchen was with everything we needed for cooking. We hope to return again as Tofino has so much to explore!

Beautiful Trees. Couch, not bed.

We enjoyed the location of this stay - great forest views, easy access to Tofino and Ucluelet. The kitchen had good amenities which was helpful since we ate in most meals during our stay. We were disappointed to see that the bed that was shown in the loft (in the photos upon booking and still showed that way during our stay) was no longer a bed but rather had been replaced with a pull-out couch, which was very uncomfortable. We needed that space to sleep for our family so there was no option not to use it and we likely would not have booked this location knowing it wasn't a bed. We stayed for a week so the length of the uncomfortable bed was considerable.

Surf Cabin in the woods....

The Good: Roomy cabin. Extensive selection of kitchen equipment. Beds are comfortable. Secluded location close to Cox Beach. Owner provided split logs for fire pit. Hot water comes almost immediately from faucets. Good water pressure for faucets and showers. The not so Good: The upstairs bath room has NO towel bars and hooks. Upper master bedroom and bathroom only have a SINGLE mirror over the sink....

Best beach vacay spot!

We loved everything about the house. Location was fabulous, beaches were totally accessible (10-15 min walk), furniture was comfortable, everything was clean, outside deck was lovely, and it was fully stocked for all of our home cooking. Also loved all the local soaps in the house. We went and bought some! Zero complaints.

Week in Tofino

We enjoyed our stay, there was a couple small cleanliness things (a couple dirty dishes in cupboards, the tub had some nature in it, that sort of idea), but overall we had a relaxing week. Easy enough to sort out👍Since we had our dog, we used the downstairs only because dogs are to remain on the lower floor. That meant we used the downstairs shower which left something to be desired. We also found the lack of window coverings to be a bit of a surprise, at least in the bedrooms/bathrooms. We adjusted and it was all just fine! Beaches were close, Tofino town was close enough with a small grocery store and coffee shop even closer. Easy enough to pop down to Ucluelet in under a half hour. Great location, especially if you want to have a quiet space all to yourself after a day filled with nature and exploring. I would stay here again!

Living in the rainforest

This is a splendid house, tucked right into the forest. The living room picture in the listing doesn’t do it justice. The over stuffed sofas and chairs are gone replaced by a lovely L shaped leather couch. The house is modern, comfortable and very well designed. Lots of windows and skylights. Beds are comfy. Perfectly situated between the park and the town and it’s only a 15 minute walk to the beach. An absolutely perfect spot for nature lovers.

Our family stayed here for 3 nights and found the property to be very comfortable and in a beautiful setting. A little too far for us to walk to Chesterman with our boards, but still very close and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Cool Cabin in the woods!

We enjoyed our stay in the fantastic Surf Cabin in the woods. It is impressive as you arrive and walk in. We loved all the windows and seeing the outside/inside and the open plan living. It is decorated differently to what it was advertised, so I think that should be changed as we booked it for how it was decorated too. It had most of the things that you needed but not beach towels and it is surf cabin! There were leaflets and I got great recommendations when I contacted the owner Asia. Thank you. Wine glasses would be great as there wasn't any and if you want to drink wine or Aperol spritzers then it would be great. The sofa bed was not comfortable for my adult daughter but our bed was. Having the reusable toiletries to use was great. There should be some lights from the road to see the entrance at night and something distinctive to see during the day as we missed the entrance several times. We had to look out for the other side of the road to see the flags as our guide to our entrance. Tofino is a great place to explore and this cabin was a great location to do so. We would recommend it. Schooner restaurant for a special meal and Shelter for everything else ,were great places to eat! Beach chairs and an umbrella would also be welcome extras to use as it is in a beach/ surf area and for myself personally having Lupus, I have to protect myself from the sun and UV rays and children would need it. Unfortunately beach umbrellas don't fit in suitcases. We had a great time.

Fantastic location

Great place to stay, was appropriate for our family of three but could have hosted a few more people comfortably. Not sure about the cleaner as the floors were pretty sandy on arrival and the front door was unlocked. But otherwise the place was tidy and well equipped.

We are a surfing family that live in Tofino full time. I built Tofino Surf Cabin in 2006 and have also built several houses in the neighbourhood. My wife is a massage therapist, yoga instructor and life coach.

Why they chose this property

I chose this property because i wanted to live close to the beach and be in the forest. There is something special about living in this old growth forest surround by ancient trees and moss.

What makes this property unique

walking to the beach on the multi-use path. enjoying the custom woodwork through out the house and soaking up the heat from the hydronic floors.
