Surfside Lodge has everything

Beautiful property with a great view and access to the beach. Hot tub and sauna were perfect. The house was beautiful and fully stocked with everything. The beds were super comfy and all the rooms were beautifully decorated. Heated toilet seat and floor in the downstairs bathroom was a big bonus. We all loved this home and will be back!! Highly recommended!!!

Best beach

The property was beautiful, functional and enjoyable. All the amenities were available. The entry for front and rear into one area is brilliant. Like a sand trap but in a good way! The hot tub was easily accessible as was the beach. We enjoyed a few fires in late afternoon at the fire pit next to the beach. Fun way to cook hotdogs! We will be back.

Our family stay at Surfside Lodge in Tofino was exceptional, featuring fantastic amenities and a warm welcome.

From the moment we arrived, Surfside Lodge made us feel right at home with a thoughtful gift that showcased their attention to detail. The hosts regularly checked in to ensure everything was perfect and were always easy to reach. The spacious and beautifully designed house was equipped with everything we needed, from a fully stocked kitchen (including air fryer!) to cozy living areas that were perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The fantastic sand/mud room was especially great for our family, providing a convenient space to clean up after beach days and outdoor adventures. The breathtaking views of the surrounding nature and proximity to the beach added to the charm, making it easy to unwind and enjoy the serene atmosphere. Overall, it was an ideal retreat, allowing us to create wonderful memories during our time in Tofino. Highly recommend!

Amazing Stay at Surfside Lodge

We just spent 6 incredible days at this property in Tofino (one of my favourite places on the planet) and Surfside Lodge has it all! Not only is it situated right on Chesterman Beach, it has incredible views from almost every room. It also has a separate sauna, a hot tub that is private, yet allows a gorgeous view of the waves, and a fire pit. We welcomed my 60th with a spectacular sunset. This a beautiful place to celebrate, meditate, decompress, enjoy, spend memorable time with family and friends, including fur babies. If you or others in your party surf, it's well set up to host all the boards and then some. Surfside Lodge is definitely a 5 star experience we will long remember.

Just what we needed

This place truly stands up to the beautiful pictures and creature comforts. We loved being so close to the beach. We loved the huge picture windows to see the beach. And my family’s favorite was the hot tub and being able to hear the surf and sit under the stars. Lastly the heated floors and toilet downstairs was so nice. They really thought of everything. Also we had a power outage and the communication from them was rapid , easy, and super helpful. We made beautiful memories- thank you
