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.
Enjoyed our stay in this very nice home in Tofino...
We (all 6 of us) enjoyed the hot tub, games, Television and the short walk to surf at Cox Bay
...dogs loved it too!
would recommend this accommodation!
Amazing place to stay! The whole family enjoyed it! Love the location, amenities and promt communications. Beautiful house, nice and cozy. Close to everything around. Will definitely be back!!
Cedar Sands was just what we needed to escape the city and embrace the rain and waves! The house had everything to keep my kids ages 3 and 7 happy as well as my elderly parents. We really enjoyed the hot tub, easy walk to beach and beauty of the trees outside window.Would definitely rent again!
Amazing place to stay for a trip to Tofino and surrounding area.
Close enough to walk to beaches and drive to town or pacific rim national park.
Kitchen well stocked with everything you could need to cook in.
Check in and out was easy and communication with the host was easy.
Nice place you could hear the ocean found the check in time to be a little late and the checkout time a bit early seems like we were hardly there but overall I would recommend this placed at anybody
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!

It was quiet, peaceful and relaxing tucked back in the beautiful forest. The location was perfect with walking distance to beaches and a quick drive into Tofino. The property management was very thoughtful making sure we had everything we needed and were having an exceptional stay. Made for a very memorable weekend.

A perfect weekend getaway!
Our stay at Cedar Sands was perfect. The house had everything we needed for our weekend stay. We were impressed by all the extras in it, a kitchen filled with everything you could ever think of needing, board games, movies, outdoor toys (balls, badminton etc). The wood burning sauna and hot tub made our one rainy day special. The location was great, we walked the quick walk to Cox Bay daily to enjoy the beach. Could not have been better.

Great place for a family
This house is central to everything you need. Close to town and the beach. Information center is almost next door. We loved having the firepit to make smores/hotdogs. Our girls also loved the jacuzzi. House is surrounded by cedars. Great place for a family!
Our family of 6 really enjoyed our stay at Cedar Sands. It was a perfect home for 6 people. Loved the hot tub, great big table for games and family meals and the kitchen was well-stocked. Excellent location within walking distance to Cox Bay and a short drive to Tofino. Would definitely stay here again.
The property was beautiful and in a terrific location. Speaking to the property manager was easy and they responded very timely with any questions we had. Definitely recommend staying here and can’t wait to be back!
