Our cottage is thoughtfully appointed and you should only need to bring your food and clothing. We have a Pacific Energy wood burning stove in the main room of the house which creates cozy warmth throughout the entire cottage. There is also a 58" Smart TV in the living room and a 30" TV in one of the bedrooms, along which a wide selection of books and games for those stormy days when you get back from playing on the beach. We have a large deck and grassy yard to play on. The property also has a large fire pit area with seating at the side of the house, which is surrounded by a beautiful forest backdrop.

We had a lovely visit. The only thing we didn't like was that one of the queen beds was up the tiny stairs and no one felt safe coming down in the middle of the night so we had to separate and sleep on the bunk beds

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!!

It's always disappointing when we see a 4 star review, especially when the guest has great things to say about the house. We always strive to go above and beyond to accommodate the needs of each of our guests and their families to make sure their stay is the most enjoyable one that can be had in Tofino. Once again, we thank the very high percentage of our guests who leave us 5 star reviews.

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

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.
