Perfect getaway

Stayed here with my partner and two dogs for our anniversary and everything was perfect. The kitchen was incredibly well-stocked, and all rooms were very spacious - more than enough for us! We enjoyed the hot tub nearly every day, which was a treat. Great location with a short walk to Chesterman. Though it’s right off the Pacific Rim Highway, the noise is nearly negligible. Also 10/10 communication with Tofino Rental Vacations, who checked in with us on day one and were always available if we needed anything. Would definitely stay here again!

Stunning home

We couldn't fault our stay at Whitewater. The property is beautiful - so spacious, stylish and well-equipped. It's only a couple of minutes walk to South Chesterman Beach or a walk/cycle to some great local spots (hotel/bar, food truck, local ice creams, small grocery store etc) in the other direction. Danielle the host and Matt the owner were both really helpful and friendly. We'd book again in a heartbeat if we're lucky enough to come back to Tofino!

Wonderful Stay!

Perfect little two bedroom house steps away from Chesterman Beach! Kitchen was fully stocked with all your cooking essentials and some which we appreciated so much! Not only was the kitchen stocked but the bathroom was stocked too with plenty of towels, the best shampoo, conditioner and body wash from Saltspring Soapworks and even a hair dryer! The hot tub was the best welcome home after a windy, cool day at the beach. The hosts were so lovely and responded quickly to inquiries. No complaints here! Perfect long weekend away with our family!

Perfect getaway for a family of 4 with two teens

The house is perfect with a big fully stocked kitchen (cooking gear), three bedrooms and living area. Especially nice was the outdoor shower to keep the place clean after the beach and prior to the hot tub. the cost is relatively high but in line with other accommodations and from that perspective a good value. Equally nice was that it is dog friendly which saved the cost of boarding. We'll be back!

Lovely relaxing getaway

We had a great stay for 4 days. The home is like a 2 minute walk to the beach which is amazing. They were kind enough to send us some firewood and the home also had many little hidden touches that most other rentals wouldn’t have. The main bedroom mattress could use a bit of flipping and/or fluffing as it’s a bit ‘dippy’ but that’s probably my only negetive comment. Great stay and we would come back for sure.
