Steps to Chesterman Beach - Cedar Shack - West Cost Cottage & Private Hot Tub

200' from Stunning Chesterman Beach Vacation Cottage with Private Hot Tub

Cedar Shack Cottage, located across the road from Chesterman Beach, is named by many a tucked-away Tofino Gem and is a favourite with families and couples. The cabin offers two bedrooms, each with a queen bed, high-quality linen and duvets, a bright open-concept living-dining area, a gas fireplace, and a cozy living room with a bay window and skylights. A full, well-appointed kitchen provides ample space to cook all your meals.

Off the master bedroom, relax on the deck furnished with cedar Adirondack Chairs, a Weber gas BBQ, and your private hot tub. Cedar Shack Cottage is thoughtfully designed with guests' comfort in mind. Decorated with beautiful local artwork, many personal touches will make your stay memorable. The cabin's natural vegetation provides privacy, yet you are close enough to hear the ocean and only a two-minute walk across the road from spectacular Chesterman Beach. Cedar Shack Cottage is ideal beachside accommodation for two couples or a small family.

Hideaway

This is a really lovely, cosy property hidden away near one of the most beautiful beaches in Tofino. I loved being able to get there in one minute! The cabin has everything you need, including just about anything you can think of in the bathroom, plus a fully fitted out kitchen and washer and tumble dryer too. Hot tub was lovely and perfect for stargazing. It was extremely peaceful and a short drive into Tofino and all the little walks around. Entry instructions very simple and easy communication with hosts before arrival. Would thoroughly recommend.

Cozy, quiet, close to beach

Came out to Tofino for a quick winter getaway and to connect with family. Cedar shack had everything we needed to do that. The beds are on the small size but otherwise it was comfy and clean. We would have appreciated the hot tub being pre- warmed for us as it took an entire day to heat up enough to use.Overall great experience.

Cute and cozy cabin

This was a great setting for our 3 night romantic winter getaway to Tofino and Pacific Rim National Park. Arriving after a long drive in relentless rain, we were delighted to discover this welcoming little cabin toasty warm, with flameless candles glowing and a dish of Swiss chocolates. Tucked away from the street behind the main house, it’s surrounded by hedges for privacy and green views out every window. Appreciated the fast WiFi and Netflix to cozy up on the sofa next to the gas wood stove. The jacuzzi was fantastic after a walk on the beach (right across the street). Everything was extremely clean and well maintained. 10/10 would stay again.

Tofino's best kept secret

Four of us stayed for 4 days in October 2024. The VRBO was absolutely perfect with nothing spared. Our host does a fabulous job of taking care of your every wish. Very comfortable and just a minutes walk to the beach. And the weather was unexpected...so warm and sunny mostly. Chesterman Beach is so beautiful. And the whole area is so spectacular. Fabulous wide and paved bike trails from Toffino to Uceulet. Thanks for the memories!!

The Cedar Shack exceeded our expectations. We had such a fun time in Tofino on a couples surf trip. Super clean and perfect little cottage in the best location. Just across the beach is the most beautiful beach walk either direction. Will definitely be back!

Enjoyed our stay immensely. Close to everything we wanted to do and could hear the ocean at night which was a bonus. The little wagon to transport our belongings was very handy. Hot tub was perfect after a long day of exploring all the different beaches. We would definitely stay here again.

Family vacation

Great location close to south Chesterman's beach. The property was as described and very clean. Guests should be aware that there is a large construction site directly behind the property. We could wave to the construction workers from the kitchen window while having our coffee. It significantly reduces the privacy of the property and while construction didn't start before 9 AM it was quiet noisy and at one point the entire building shook as the construction equipment moved cross the site.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Cedar Shack. The property is lovely. It's clean, quiet and has all the necessary amenities for a comfortable and relaxing getaway. Beach access is super close ... a one minute walk! It's great to soak in the hot tub at the end of day and listen to the surf. We highly recommend the Cedar Shack!

Cute home

Great location with a very short walk across the road to Chesterman beach. House is very clean and well stocked. Easy to cook in, hot tub is private and right out the door from the one bedroom. Fireplace in the living room is so nice to relax by and the skylights add lots of natural light. Property is so nice and well maintained, they have a luggage wagon to bring your bags from the parking spot to the cabin in the back of the property over a short walk on a rock path. They have it well lit so at night it’s easy to see coming and going.

Dreamy Tofino Spot

This. Is. IT. We are seasoned travelers and this cottage is one of the Very BEST places we've ever visited. It's charm, location and amenities match everything Tofino. You'll be impressed by proximity to the best beaches, cleanliness and comfort, ease of cooking, relaxing, bathing and socializing. Large indoor and outdoor hang out areas. Starry skies in the hot tub. They created amazing privacy and beauty all around. The hosts are kind and responsive, too!

About the host

Hosted by Barbara

Host profile image
Born and raised in Austria, I visited Tofino in the early 80s for what was supposed to be a one-month stay. My husband Daniel (originally from Quebec) arrived in Tofino in the late '60s. We raised two wonderful daughters in Tofino who were fortunate enough to grow up and surf a towel throw from our home. We have been in the Vacation Rental business in Tofino for 20-plus years. After more than 4 decades of living in paradise, we still live the dream. We love sharing this dream with Travelers worldwide and look forward to welcoming you. We love travelling, hiking, gardening, biking, walking beaches and spoiling our super awesome grandsons.

Why they chose this property

Its the best on Canada's West-Coast, we are super close to the beach just a short 2 min stroll and yet close enough to hear the waves. Our property is surrounded by natural vegetation for maximum privacy, its quiet, pristine and a stones throw to the worlds best beach.
