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.

Surf Break

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.

Forest getaway

Very nice house away from the road, quiet. Lots of dishes, towels etc for 7 of us. Asia was very nice and easy to get hold of. Could walk to Chesterman and Cox Bay but drove as we had too much to carry. Nice to sit outside in the forest after busy Tofino activities.

Awesome!

We really enjoyed our 5 nights at the Surf Cabin. Great location tucked away in the forest and within walking distance of both Cox Bay and Chesterman Beaches. Well stocked and comfortable. Asia and especially Dawn were very friendly and helpful. Our grown daughter made good use of the surf board they allowed her to use. Lots to do and see in the area but you’ll just want to stay put and enjoy the cabin. Thanks for a great place to stay. Hopefully we can return in the future.

Excellent location - clean and comfortable. We were just two and our dog, but would be comfortable for two additional people, perhaps kids on the pullout couch. Well stocked kitchen, comfy pillows and bed. A great option for the Tofino area!

Lovely for six adults. No sheet for the 3rd bed. Heated floors a blessing. Temp about right even with downpours. Loved the miss covered tree Fort atmosphere. For a big tall guy sinks and shower size a temporary trial🤗

About the host

Hosted by asia dryden

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.
