About this property

Dream Cottage - Luxurious, Private, Hot Tub - Chesterman Beach

Tofino Dream Cottage is a stunning example of contemporary West Coast architecture. This timber-framed, bright spacious home is located in the midst of its own half-acre professionally landscaped gardens. It is private, yet only a 3 minute walk down a sandy path is spectacular Chesterman Beach. Surfing, beachcombing and close proximity to surf rentals, an array of neighbourhood shops restaurants, cafes, and the village of Tofino. Here is accommodation that offers it all. Tofino Dream Cottage will be enjoyed by everyone: It is a wonderful place for couples seeking a romantic retreat. It is a superb place for a group getaway. It is a perfect family home for adults and children.

We built this beautiful westcoast vacation home by the sea for family, friends and the many visiting guests who come to celebrate this spectacular location. The cottage harmonizes a nice flow between outdoor and indoor living spaces. The outdoor hot tub and expansive multi-level decks surround the home and reach out to the forest edge. Manicured gardens, total privacy, dramatic forest landscape and the beach nearby, make Dream Cottage the perfect getaway retreat..
We hope you choose Dream Cottage for your getaway and that you become one of our many returning guests.

Beautiful property, perfect for a getaway!
6 of us stayed at the Tofino Dream Cottage for a girls weekend. The owner was responsive, and communicated all of the information that we needed. The kitchen was STOCKED with every pot/pan/utensil/dish you could need to cook up some amazing meals. The overall atmosphere was relaxing and luxurious, and the 5 minute walk to the beach made for breathtaking views. One of our favourite parts was admiring the detail and craftsmenship of the house itself.

Chesterman Beach, Tofino Dream Cottage
The property was lovely, about a 5-10 minute walk to the beach down a gravel and sand path. The beach is beautiful. The house itself was very comfortable for six people, good beds, enough linens, well-equipped kitchen, and abundant outside space for lounging on the deck. My grandson particularly enjoyed the hot tub.
