About this property
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 maximise observation of nature and yet make one feel cosy 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 area. 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 watercolours 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 cosy 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.
Autumn 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 cosy 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. 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 holiday 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 spa pool. We no longer have a spa pool in operation. Thank you. We are also a licensed Short Term Rental business in Tofino operating under licence number # 20170222

The inside of the house is nice and clean. It had a fireplace which was wonderful after having been outdoors in the cold. Kitchen has dishes and pots and pans and lots of space to prep and cook.
There are a couple of things in need of repair but it didn't affect my stay. I would definitely stay again in this lovely location.
Great space for families and dogs with comfortable beds. Easy walk to beach. Great location.

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
This was our second stay at this property. Awesome size and location. Fully equipped kitchen for our family meals. We look forward to coming back again.
There’s a path close by that leads to Chesterman Beach. The house is very nice and clean. Quiet neighborhood. The biggest draw for us was the closeness to our favorite beach
This is our third time renting Esther’s place! What can we say - she is a lovely host, her place is clean, comfortable, spacious, in a quiet neighborhood all within a 10 mins walk to Chesterman Beach. We have already booked again for next year!
We book Esther's place every year and are never disappointed. The house is wonderfully set up to enjoy the inside and outside deck. The location is perfect for walking down to the beach for a surf. Esther herself is always kind and welcoming.
The house was bigger than I expected from the photos. It has a really relaxed lovely vibe. The 5 min walk to Chesterman cannot be beat. I would book again absolutely.
Overall a lovely stay and our rental was extremely comfortable. It's much larger than it looks from the ouside. Well equipped, maybe some tisues, but I'm not complaining. Plenty of cutlery, crockery and saucepans, etc. Definitely would stay again.

Location was great. House much bigger and airy than pictures show. A little maintenance required but nothing alarming or unusual at end of high season
