We had an amazing time at skylight cottage. The house is wonderful and the hot tub is just amazing. The only thing that stood out to us as maybe needing some attention was the dining room chairs. The fake leather was starting to peel and was making a mess in the floor.
We loved our stay. The property was clean and very well appointed. Beds were extra comfy and it was a short bike ride to beaches, shops and town. Would definitely stay again.
This is a great house from which to explore Tofino. We enjoyed the quietness of the property. The house is nicely laid out, cozy and clean. The kids enjoyed the hot tub.

Home Sweet Home
Directions & entry requirements were clear and provided in advance. Location was Perfect, close to everything.
Spacious for 4 girls travelling with a bed for each of us. A complete kitchen to enjoy making breakfast there to start our day. Would highly recommend and would be my to go place if I were back in the area again. Very Clean and the laundry and hot tub were additional perks. Thank You for an Amazing Stay.
Beautiful and private location in the trees. Quick drive to town and beaches, easy walking distance of the brewery and distillery. We thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor space (hottub, firepit, etc.) Very cozy inside, love the wood detailing/skylights and the soaps provided smell divine. Hosts were responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay here again!
We had a great stay here. It was clean and tidy when we arrived, minus the hot tub that needed a bit of extra care. The manager had it taken care of quickly and we were very happy with everything else. Great location, and comfortable for the group of 5 we had. Well-equipped kitchen. They thought of everything. Would definitely stay again.
Great house walking distance to Mackenzie Beach and Tofino
Skylight cottage is a light and airy, well equipped 3 bedroom house about 2 km from Tofino. We loved being able to walk to the beach from the house and being walking distance to Tofino. The hot tub was a nice bonus and the outdoor shower would be great for surfers . Tofino was under water restrictions so we didn’t use the outdoor shower when we were there. You can also walk to a coffee shop and the famous Tacofino from the house. The check in and check out process was easy and we loved our stay. Hire some bikes and ride the bike path right past the house. Thanks!
Wonderful Property with a couple of minor issues...
We had an amazing time here. But, there were a few negatives...
Positives:
The house is lovely and the perfect size for 4 adults.
The kitchen was well-appointed and the hot tub and outdoor shower were magical ways to finish the day after hiking and copious amounts of exploring!
The location was very handy to the brewery and distillery and a great takeaway window (Soul).
Needs work:
The 2 main beds are both very soft, lumpy and uneven, so, if you're used to sleeping on something like an endy mattress (as we are)... you'll likely not enjoy sleeping in either of them.
The entertainment area is quite outdated as well... the TV and sound are substandard for what you might find these days... the Bluetooth speaker is cheap and sounds awful (if you can get it to work), there is no sound bar and the TV is tiny. We opted for the 15-inch computer to watch a movie before bed as it sounded better...
This was by no means a big issue for us, as the sun shined every day and we were out enjoying every minute of it, but, I could see this bothering anyone up there in storm season looking to decompress with a movie or show.
These things being said, we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again, the management checked on us daily to make sure we had everything we needed and we love to spend some more time in the hot tub :). 100% we would recommend!
We loved Skylight cottage! Everything was perfect. When we walked in, it felt so welcoming. We had the best two nights staying in Tofino. Would go back every single time.
Amazing property for a cozy and relaxing vacation. The house is set up so nicely for everyone to have their own private area. Communication and coordination with house manager was flawless!
Beautiful property. The very few small hiccups we had we promptly dealt with by the management (not working electronic shutters). Overall awesome experience.

Amazing stay in tofino
We had a wonderful stay at Skylight Cottage! Communication was always friendly and smooth. The cottage felt like a true home away from home— super clean, cozy, and equipped with everything we needed. It's also very baby-friendly, which made our stay even more comfortable.
The location was amazing—close to everything. We also loved how the area is surrounded by trees, perfect for peaceful walks or morning runs.
One of our favorite features was the cedar-canopied hot tub and bbq on the deck.
Check in was easy and the messaging very helpful. The kitchen was great and we cooked each evening. Only siggestion is to check numbers of bowls, glasses etc to check there are sufficient for the number pf guests (eg there were only 4 bowls, perhaps because of previous breakages?)
Our stay at the Skylight Cottage was perfect. The property is perfectly private while being centrally located. The cottage was beautiful with all the amenities. The kids loved their rooms and being able to have a little room to play outside. However, we were so close to all the amazing beaches, shops and restaurants we spent most of our time exploring.
