Chesterman Beach Fine Art Vacation House - Walking distance to North Chesterman

Built in the early 2000’s, our 1100 sq ft open-concept family home was designed to maximize observation of nature and yet make one feel cozy and sheltered from the elements. Vaulted ceilings and ample windows allow lots of natural light into the house. There are sheer curtains that provide privacy but no black out curtains which allows you to observe where the sun, moon and stars are located in the skies. We are located in a quiet residential neighborhood. Nestled in the trees, you can hear the sound of the ocean with a secluded beach path minutes away from spectacular Chesterman Beach. We are now opening up to offer visitors a unique experience to explore nature and culture at the same time. Our home features a collection of original oil paintings and watercolors of the region painted over the last decade with a self-guided exhibition, just as you would find in a major art museum. These paintings feature different scenic landmarks of Clayoquot Sound and give visitors a unique experience and hopefully a deeper appreciation of all the surrounding nature.

In the evenings, get warm and cozy by our natural gas fireplace in the sunken living room, play somemusic and enjoy sipping some wine while taking in a large format oil painting of the rainforest.

Fall asleep on one of the 2 twin beds in the upstairs loft bedroom where lots of windows showcase the trees and starry night skies and allow you to follow the path of the moon through the night. The cozy master bedroom shares the double-sided gas fireplace with the sunken living room and has a queen bed. All our beds have comfortable sheets and duvets.

Our cedar deck comes with a propane BBQ and outdoor hot shower. The bathroom comes with heated floors, bath tub, shower and towels. Please bring your favourite bath and beauty products for your own use. We have a hairdryer for guests to use.

The kitchen with custom fir cabinetry is fully equipped with cookware , blender, coffee maker, salt and pepper etc. Dish cloths and dish soap are also provided.

The artist’s studio is in a building adjacent to the house. We are a family with young children and we live on the property in the studio and also in a suite downstairs. We are usually outdoors but occasionally you can hear the sounds of our studio grand piano floating in the air. We value your time, enjoyment and privacy during your vacation and will not be interacting with you much during your stay but should you need anything please don’t hesitate to let us know.

Please note this rental is not suitable for those looking to party. We live in a quiet residential neighbourhood with wonderful neighbours and quiet times in place.
We're all here to "listen to the loons instead of the tunes." Please note you might see previous references or reviews describing a hot tub. We no longer have a hot tub in operation. Thank you.
We are also a licensed Short Term Rental business in Tofino operating under license number # 20170222

There’s a path close by that leads to Chesterman Beach. The house is very nice and clean. Quiet neighborhood. The biggest draw for us was the closeness to our favorite beach

Annual stay
We book Esther's place every year and are never disappointed. The house is wonderfully set up to enjoy the inside and outside deck. The location is perfect for walking down to the beach for a surf. Esther herself is always kind and welcoming.

Tofino holiday
Overall a lovely stay and our rental was extremely comfortable. It's much larger than it looks from the ouside. Well equipped, maybe some tisues, but I'm not complaining. Plenty of cutlery, crockery and saucepans, etc. Definitely would stay again.

Overall, the property is spacious with different sitting areas and 2 floors, its a 5 min walk to the beach and quiet neighborhood. Kitchen is decently equipped, but there were no bathroom soaps/shampoos. The place is relatively clean, but it could use some basic TLC. The outdoor deck definitely needs some attention. Given the location is so central to Chesterman Beach and walking distance to some shops/coffee/eating places we enjoyed our stay and would book again.

We loved the location! The beach is really close, less than a 5 minute walk to one of the best beaches in Tofino. The house was cute, a little on the unkept side. While the BBQ did function, it was so rusty that it was not safe to use. Last thing you want is to poison your family while on Vacation.

A short but great vacation
The North Chesterman beach is easy to access from a path down the road from where you stay. A lovely way to greet the morning. A short walk away is a hotel with restaurant called ROAR, a wonderful friendly place. Dogs are allowed in certain areas where you eat and the food, beer and service is excellent. Again a short walking distance is the Wickeninish Inn which is world renowned. It’s a must visit as the views are great and food, drinks and service outstanding. You can just go in for a drink and snack. Prices fine. Eating at the restaurant expensive but a real treat. The maîtrede has a wit and charm second to none. Long beach is a must with its miles of beach. Uculet is an easy drive. Tofino is a lovely small place. I recommend you have a lunch or dinner at the Daddy’s Fish Fry. The fresh halibut and prawns are excellent.Where we stayed was comfortable enough and so well situated.
