About this property

Cedar Sands-Cox Bay, Sauna, Hot Tub, Wood Fire Pit

  • CEDAR SANDS located by Cox Bay Beach: Welcome to your home away from home. Located within walking distance to Cox Bay (approx. 10 min), one of Tofino's renowned surf beaches, Cedar Sands is a custom built, rustic, three bedroom house.



    There are two comfortable bedrooms located on the main floor, plus a charming loft-style bedroom upstairs ( third floor)—perfect for kids or anyone who loves a cozy, elevated space. The home features two bathrooms: a shared bathroom with a stand-up shower, and a private ensuite with a deep soaker tub, ideal for unwinding after a day of adventure. Enjoy the open-concept fully stocked kitchen that flows seamlessly into the living room, offering plenty of space to play games, read a book, share a meal, or gather around the cozy wood-burning fireplace.



    Gather around the outdoor fire pit, where the kids can enjoy roasting marshmallows while the adults unwind and soak in the joy of quality family time. Relax in the newly added wood barrel sauna — perfect after a day of exploring Tofino and all it has to offer. After a surf session, rinse off in the outdoor shower, or use it as a refreshing cold plunge between sauna rounds. Upstairs, the deck features a hot tub and a comfortable seating area, ideal for extra relaxation or entertaining under the stars. There is so much to see and do on the West Coast of Vancouver Island - make this house your base camp for your next adventure!

Our family of six (2 adults and 4 kids under 6 years) had such a wonderful stay here. It was clean and exactly as advertised. Beautiful home to stay in, loved the barrel sauna and hot tub. Proximity to Cox Beach was fabulous, and an easy drive to town and other sights. Will be staying here again!

The host was super easy to work with, and the tenant in the suite below was either very quiet or not home because we felt completely alone in the middle of the forest which was the goal! The home was perfectly set up and cozy - the only thing missing was food storage containers but otherwise all was fantastic!

Well-appointed home that allowed us to cook hassle-free meals (air fryer!), very comfortable beds, and the hot tub and sauna were an extra treat. Host was thoughtful and responsive, connecting with us after our first night to ensure we had everything we needed, and again at departure to alert us ti adverse driving conditions. Absolutely would stay again.

Amazing

The perfect Tofino stay for a group. A tree house vibe but really close to Cox bay, also, so central! Great communication and cleanliness. The house doesn’t have much soundproofing so we could hear others in their room. Otherwise a perfect vacay.

Wonderful!!!

The moment we arrive all I could hear was my kids excitement. The whole place was wonderful, everything we needed was there. I love cooking, so the kitchen is always an important part for me, and didn't disappoint. Everything you need to make your meals. We also loved the different options we had for making coffee, not just your typical drip coffee machine. The house felt vary spacious, which it was great since the weather was very wet and cold (typical Tofino), so we spend a bit of time indoors. However the sound of rain and sitting in the hot tub was lovely. They also provided a few options of board games, another great touch. The beds were comfortable, lots of blankets to keep you cozy, however the house temperature was always very comfortable. We didn't really need anything extra, however Danielle made sure to let us know that her team was available in case we needed something. Thank you so much, for the amazing experience, really looking forward to book with you again!

Perfect retreat, close to the beach.

The space was very generous: very comfortable for us and our dogs. So grateful that we could walk to Cox bay in under 10mins and then come back to a convenient outdoor shower and relaxing hot tub within the serene forest environment. It felt very private, despite there being a tenant on the property (per Tofino bylaws). The rooms were all comfortable, lovely linens and towels. We would be very happy to stay here again.
