Excellent with beach just beside
All around absolutely excellent. Hosts were available and keen to help with anything while sharing this lovely quiet and private space. The kitchen was nicely stocked with spices and a few other essentials. Beds and furniture all very comfortable.

quiet oasis close to the beach
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 🙏

Gem off Chesterman beach
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!

Great location, lovely space
The home is located just across from the beach. Full kitchen, perfect for a little family. We stayed there with our almost 3 year old and it was great - everything you could need. Lovely outdoor bathtub and shower, lots of seating space, games, books. Hosts are great and easy to communicate with.

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.

Loved our stay here! We were a couple with a friend and it was perfect for us. The space is bright, open and private. My husband and I really enjoyed the outdoor bathtub.

The Hacienda was functional, comfortable and filled with character. Keane and family were fantastic hosts. We felt at home immediately. Chesterman Beach was a two minute walk so we explored multiple times daily as a family. The Hacienda was our home away from home.

Comfortable Chesterman Beach Cottage
Had a great week at this cottage. Perfect location for beach walks, surfing, tidal pool exploration, walking distance to lattes, Roar restaurant, easy access by car & shuttle to the town of Tofino. Everything in the cottage worked; clean comfortable furnishings, the kitchen is well supplied, the full size laundry pair was appreciated & the piano is in tune. My husband and I found the mattress in the main floor bedroom to be on the soft side, but that is a matter of opinion & it didn’t get in the way of a good night’s sleep. We will definitely consider staying there again on our next trip to Tofino.
