Perfectly restful
The Hacienda is perfect for a restful stay. The cottage is very well equipped and is so comfortable and cozy. It’s in such a quiet and peaceful location and you can hear the ocean. The bathtub on the back deck it amazing, you can soak in the tub and listen the ocean and the breeze in the cedars, it’s even nicer in the rain. The fireplace adds a nice ambience to the living room. We walked the beach everyday to enjoy and pastries at The Tofitian cafe. There are so many things to do in the area as well as many restaurants to choose from. The Hacienda is a wonderful place to stay in a little piece of heaven.

Picture perfect!
Our family of four had a lovely stay over a long weekend. The Hacienda was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. The location was perfect - a short walk to Chesterman Beach and short drive to downtown Tofino. Keane and Patrick were responsive and check in/out seamless. We will definitely be back.

We enjoyed our stay, especially a warm welcome from Keane on a stormy day, the little propane stove that got us through the power outage, the close proximity to the beach and great hiking, and the well-equipped kitchen and cozy, comfortable amenities. We will return!

This was a very nice separate house -quiet and just a short block from Chesterman Beach, which was great to go for walks on .Well equipped for preparing meals at home. It's just a short drive to Tofino .Nice location for a couple or two couples.

Perfect cottage vacation
The Freeland family of 4 couldn’t have asked for a warmer welcome at The Hacienda! We were all taken by the charm of this spacious cottage, minutes walk from probably the bestest beach in Tofino. Our cottage was clean, homely and humble providing everything we could need in our time spent there. The finer details were the ‘icing’ including the abundance of fresh towels, soaps, fine oils and spices, teas and coffee to name but a few… all these things add up to make the perfect vacation. We were incredibly lucky with the weather too. Unfortunately we didn’t get to enjoy the hot bath on the veranda but would have had we had the time! We would come again if we didn’t live so far away, thank you so very much 🙏

This was our second time staying at the Hacienda and will definitely not be our last. Keane and family are incredible hosts. The property is just steps away from the beach. The space is warm and full of character. The outdoor tub is such a great experience. Looking forward to our next stay here!

Paradise
Keane and Pat were amazing hosts. This property has easily become our top 3 favourites in VRBO history. This home has everything you could possibly want. Having only gone out on 2 occasions for food, this kitchen is well stocked with all the necessary utensils and basic condiments too. The family favourite was the outdoor tub and shower with hot water. This was incredibly welcoming for post surfing lessons in a cold ocean. We have yet to repeat a VRBO stay, but this one might be a must. Thank you Keane and Pat for making our stay that much more amazing thanks to your hospitality.

Tofino getaway
The house is awesome! Very clean and cozy and had everything we needed and more. Very private and location was fantastic with close and easy beach access to Chesterman beach. The beds are very comfortable and we slept great. The outside tub was really cool. My daughter ran a half marathon that weekend and really appreciated the hot bubbly soak afterward! We did lock ourselves out and our host was right there to let us in! I highly recommend the Hacienda and we'll definitely return!

Wonderful Home Close To The Beach.
We really enjoyed our one week stay at The Hacienda. Communication with Keane was great. The house is spacious, clean and neat. We felt very cozy and at home. Walking to the world class Chesterman Beach was easy. We had great weather and after watching the sunset on the beach we would make dinner in the kitchen, and then sit in front of the gas fire place.

Great family getaway…
This was the perfect getaway for our family (2 teens). Very clean and included everything we needed in the kitchen, bathroom and living room (tv, wifi, games). One minute walk to the beach-great for daily walks. Quick drive into town. Owners were very responsive and easy going. I would book again if we decide to go back next year.

Keane grew up on South Chesterman Beach and after years away has made it her home again. Her parents opened the first vacation rental in Tofino back in 1992.
Patrick is from Montreal, came west many years ago and never looked back.
We are busy with our two young boys! We love to travel and spend time outdoors on various adventures.

If there is anything you need at all during your stay (like local tips!), please do not hesitate to ask. We are more than happy to help.

Why they chose this property

This property has been in my family for the last 35+ years. We feel fortunate to have purchased it off my parents and kept it in the family.

What makes this property unique

South facing deck/ house has great sun exposure. High ceilings and many windows for lots of natural light and ventilation. Big garden and many plants inside. Outdoor shower and soaker bathtub. Directly across the street from a public beach access. You are so close, you can hear the surf from your cabin.
Come stay with us!
