Great location, minutes walk from Chesterman beach. We’ll set up, clean, perfect for families with pets. Backyard was great with fire pit and hot tub. If you need to split fire wood, you’ll need to bring you own hatchet.

Perfect coastal getaway
Spacious, clean and perfect location.
This place had everything we needed for a cozy night in all while being in a great location to get into town and visit all the beaches.
Seamless check in and out, and super dog friendly.
Can’t wait to come back!
The house is in a perfect location with an easy walk to South Chesterman beach. Private, clean and very comfortable. This is our second time staying at this location and we loved it.

Walkable beach location
We had a great week in the Whitewater cabin! You are just a block from South Chesterman beach which made for beautiful daily walks. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The rooms are a generous size + the hot tub was perfect as chillier nights set in.
Fantastic place to stay ! Had everything you could need . Tons of space if a family of four with two teens. Very close to beach would happily come back again . Great communication with owner as well

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!
The property is great & my family loves staying here! The walk to the beach is amazing & I’d recommend this home to everyone!

Loved this house. It was peaceful at night and just a few minutes walk from the beach. Only a mile or so from the general store, and a few minutes into town!

I have stayed here a few times now and find the location and accommodation to be excellent. A short walk to south Chesterman and a quick drive to Cox. TVR is attentive and responsive. Highly recommend this rental.

The Best Stay
We stayed at Whitewater for 4 nights during our trip to Tofino on June and it was by far our best stay ever. The house was private, clean, well-equipped, and the perfect place for us, two kids and dogs to land at the end of every day. Everything we could have needed was already there and the proximity to the beach made our trips super fast and easy.
After this, we will no longer be booking hotel rooms for our trips- we will definitely be back ☺️
Clean, kitchen well equipped, Saltspring soaps so nice, pizza oven fun to try, hot tub great for after surfing, nice decor and great location. Would definitely stay here again.

Thanks Jenny! We are glad to hear you enjoyed the pizza oven. Nothing better than fresh pizza, a relaxing hot tub and a cozy outdoor fire! We hope to host you 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!
We loved our stay at Whitewater. The location was perfect, just a very short walk to Chesterman beach. The hot tub was lovely after surfing and the house was well equipped with everything we needed. Thank you!
