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. We offer a complimentary bar of locally made soap from Clayoquot Sound but 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

Great spot right near North Chestermans beach. Easy walk to surf. It is far roomier than you perceive based on the images. Wonderful communication and great for a family. Note for anyone with little ones just learning to walk, the drop-down living area may keep you busy as they climb up and down the steps. I would absolutely come back.

great location
Minutes to the beach and minutes to the coffee shop! Great location being so central. Check in and out was a breeze. Wonderful paintings on the wall. Would have been nice to know more about the artist, there were no titles or bio posted in the house. While it wasn't dirty, it wasn't clean. Needed an over all deep cleaning. Back deck was odd to hang out on due to the fact that it had bamboo mats screening off any view, including the trees.

dog friendly house close to the beach - a 3 star stay
The location is great, and dog friendly house is spacious Suggestions - some general upkeep would made this property more comfortable. For example the pocket door to the bathroom would not close (jammed) as was the patio door - came off the track. The fireplace was not working (owner mentioned this) but would have been really nice to have.

Tofino Surfing week
Location was great and worked perfect for our stay in Tofino. Place was clean but could definitely use some TLC in places inside and especially on the deck in the back which could use some Love for sure. We would book again but would be nice to see some updates out back especially if visiting in the warmer months in summer.

Quiet and relaxing
The highlights of this property were the large, well appointed kitchen, the comfortable beds, the plush bathroom towels and the peace and quiet. The walk to Chesterman beach is only 4 minutes:) The entrance would have been more welcoming and have more "curb appeal" if there were a few flower baskets by the entrance and if the grass and foliage by the parking spot were tidier.

Just a clock from N. Chesterman
Stayed 4 nights. Great weather for late September. Home was more than adequate for our stay. It actually has beds for 8 people, but with a single bathroom that number might be a problem. For the three of us, just fine. Suggestions for improvement: Under counter lighting The working area in the kitchen is quite dark. Having the heat on prior to guests arriving would be a much nicer arrival than a cold, dark one. ….at least in the fall or winter, anyway. Having said that, we would not hesitate to stay again or recommend this home to our friends. These are minor
