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

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

10/10 Excellent
"This property is a lovely stay. Suggestions would be to have an electrician come in to fix the thermostat for the double-sided fireplace and also the ceiling fan had no batteries or didn't operate? Fresh paint would be very welcomed in the entrance, hallway, bathroom and main bedroom - however; I see that fresh paint has been applied in the kitchen, dining and living room so I am sure that is a project that is already underway. The location is great and you won't find a better-stocked kitchen anywhere. The house is very comfortable, cozy, private and I would fully recommend this rental home for a wonderful vacation. We enjoyed the art on the walls as well. The deck right off the kitchen is great with an operable bbq, patio table and chairs as well as reclining sun chairs. The sliding door could stand a bit of attention to help it glide better and it does definitely need a lock or at least a stick to put in the tracking for safety. Still, all in all, it is a very desirable place to vacation and I believe it is good value for your dollar. Communication with the owner is easy and she is very informative. I would rate it: 11/10"

Stunning waterfront retreat!

Stunning waterfront retreat!

10/10 Excellent
"This place was nothing short of AMAZING!!! Billy was there to great us, gave us some history of Tofino (he’s a life long local) shared some favourite places of his to eat, all around this guy has an incredible energy!!! If you are looking for a tranquil spot that easily accessible to local beaches by foot, bike or car it is truly an outstanding location. The pictures really don’t capture the true essence of this incredible property. Our only regret is that we didn’t book the property for a longer stay. Thank you Billy for being a host extraordinaire!"

10/10 Excellent
"We've been to Long Beach Lodge several times before, and this time did not disappoint! They were easily able to accommodate a room set up request, and the staff and food (and views of course!) in the great room are unparalleled. Despite already having high expectations as we have been wowed at LBL before, the staff still managed to exceed them. The Spa area that was added a few years back is also a great addition that we tried this time - and treatment from Jordyn was amazing! As we booked last minute, we ended up in a 'dog friendly' room, and I should mention that the room was absolutely immaculate and did not smell of wet beach dog at all."
