Fantastic place to stay ! Had everything you could need . Tons of space if a family of four with two teens. Very close to beach would happily come back again . Great communication with owner as well
Loved this house. It was peaceful at night and just a few minutes walk from the beach. Only a mile or so from the general store, and a few minutes into town!
Clean, kitchen well equipped, Saltspring soaps so nice, pizza oven fun to try, hot tub great for after surfing, nice decor and great location. Would definitely stay here again.
We absolutely would recommend this property to anyone!! Everything was perfect and so close to the beach!!

Perfect getaway
Stayed here with my partner and two dogs for our anniversary and everything was perfect. The kitchen was incredibly well-stocked, and all rooms were very spacious - more than enough for us! We enjoyed the hot tub nearly every day, which was a treat. Great location with a short walk to Chesterman. Though it’s right off the Pacific Rim Highway, the noise is nearly negligible. Also 10/10 communication with Tofino Rental Vacations, who checked in with us on day one and were always available if we needed anything. Would definitely stay here again!
The property was great!! Perfect location and beautiful house. The property managers were so helpful and available for any questions we had. It was a great stay and perfect surf spot!
The place had everything we needed plus had a hot tub, fire pit and BBQ grill. It was close to Tofino townsite so it was easy to pick up anything needed for meals. The beach was a short walk away and was great for long walks.
We loved our stay at Whitewater. The location was perfect, just a very short walk to Chesterman beach. The hot tub was lovely after surfing and the house was well equipped with everything we needed. Thank you!
We loved our stay at Whitewater. Very family friendly. Incredibly clean. Loved the backyard, hot tub, and outdoor shower post-beach. A little close to Hwy 4, some road noise, but otherwise amazing location.

Stunning home
We couldn't fault our stay at Whitewater. The property is beautiful - so spacious, stylish and well-equipped. It's only a couple of minutes walk to South Chesterman Beach or a walk/cycle to some great local spots (hotel/bar, food truck, local ice creams, small grocery store etc) in the other direction. Danielle the host and Matt the owner were both really helpful and friendly. We'd book again in a heartbeat if we're lucky enough to come back to Tofino!
Stayed during a rain storm. Cozy, comfy, clean. Pizza oven was amazing to test my sourdough recipe in. Outdoor shower was an added plus. Beds were clean and comfy. Wish I stayed more nights…
The house is perfect with a big fully stocked kitchen (cooking gear), three bedrooms and living area. Especially nice was the outdoor shower to keep the place clean after the beach and prior to the hot tub. the cost is relatively high but in line with other accommodations and from that perspective a good value. Equally nice was that it is dog friendly which saved the cost of boarding. We'll be back!

Overall we were disappointed with our stay, which is hard to write as we met the owner and he was lovely. The listing said the place was family friendly , yet there was no travel cot, highchair, bed guard, nappy bin or plastic kitchen were other than glasses to use for the young children. The place was clean in general but we found bitten finger nails under the sofa, the sofa & all of the soft furnishings like cushions & throws all smelt dirty and there was a general smell in the house of old & dirt which we couldn’t get rid of even with the windows open. The towels were grey and old & the pillows and sheets were old and faded. There are a couple of broken suitcase stands in the wardrobes & a couple of broken bits like wooden frames and coathangers in the wardrobes which for such a high price, should really be tidied up for guests. The previous reviews are great & we don’t like to hold high expectations but when the luxury hotels locally were a similar price we were really disappointed. The fully stocked kitchen and washer/dryer were great. Location was good too, 20-30 min walk from lots of places and right near Chesterman beach. We actually left a day early as we just didn’t really enjoy our stay with our 2 young children. I think some work needs to be done to the place or a more realistic listing & price. We won’t be using VRBO or Tofino rentals again.
Felt like home and close to the beach. The fire pitt and hot tub were a nice touch. Management was very helpful. Thanks for dropping off a baseball. Will be back 100%

Wonderful Stay!
Perfect little two bedroom house steps away from Chesterman Beach! Kitchen was fully stocked with all your cooking essentials and some which we appreciated so much! Not only was the kitchen stocked but the bathroom was stocked too with plenty of towels, the best shampoo, conditioner and body wash from Saltspring Soapworks and even a hair dryer! The hot tub was the best welcome home after a windy, cool day at the beach. The hosts were so lovely and responded quickly to inquiries. No complaints here! Perfect long weekend away with our family!
We had a great stay for 4 days. The home is like a 2 minute walk to the beach which is amazing. They were kind enough to send us some firewood and the home also had many little hidden touches that most other rentals wouldn’t have.
The main bedroom mattress could use a bit of flipping and/or fluffing as it’s a bit ‘dippy’ but that’s probably my only negetive comment. Great stay and we would come back for sure.
