Starlight Retreat: Relaxing Hot tub & Cold Plunge

Starlight Retreat is a LOFT style home that is nestled at the end of a peaceful gravel road, offering a serene and secluded getaway just moments from South Chesterman Beach. This charming loft house incorporates the essence of Tofino, with its rustic wood beams, open concept design, and eclectic artwork adorning the walls.

Upon entering the vacation rental, you'll immediately be enveloped in a nostalgic retro ambiance. The main living area provides a cozy and inviting atmosphere, with windows that showcase the surrounding trees, a crackling wood fireplace to warm you and an abundance of natural light that fills the room. The wooden beams overhead add a touch of rustic elegance, elevating the house's character and allure.

The vibrant and welcoming kitchen continues the theme, with its playful red and white color scheme that perfectly captures the spirit of Tofino's end-of-the-road culture. The red cabinetry create a cheerful atmosphere that will inspire your culinary adventures.

The open layout of the LOFT house makes it ideal for socializing and spending quality time with loved ones. The dining area, adorned with a vintage wood-burning stove, serves as the perfect gathering spot for shared meals and the creation of lasting memories. Curl up in the cozy seating area and engage in intimate conversations, or simply take pleasure in the tranquil ambiance that surrounds you.

The vacation rental loft house offers two rooms with beds, both featuring open ceilings that enhance the sense of spaciousness. The master room loft space boasts a comfortable king-sized bed, a generous open space with a private bathroom, ample closet space, and an adjoining room with a work desk. Open windows overlook the private property, framed by majestic cedars. In addition, a few yoga mats and a desk provide extra space for enjoying the morning light, engaging in some rejuvenating stretching, meditating, or dedicating time to work in the loft office.

The second room, which has been converted from a work space, offers a Queen bed and is situated at the front of the house. This room is perfect for children or additional guests, providing privacy with the use of curtains and an open ceiling (no door). This setup ensures that everyone can retire to bed at the same time, allowing for rest and relaxation.

Step outside into the private backyard, where you'll discover a serene tree-covered area, comfortable seating and a large hot tub nestled around the corner, along with a cold plunge tub if that's more your style. Immerse yourself in the soothing waters and let your tired muscles unwind after a day of exploring Tofino's breathtaking beaches. Alternatively, indulge in a glass of wine under the starry night sky as you bask in the tranquility of your surroundings.

Starlight Retreat truly offers a haven for those seeking a unique and captivating vacation rental experience. With its classic retro ambiance, rustic wood beams, vibrant artwork, and charming red and white kitchen, this loft house ensures a memorable and enchanting stay in the natural paradise of Tofino.

Perfect Tofino Getaway!
Just a slice of heaven. This abode was everything we needed. It was the most well stocked vacation rental we've ever stayed in. From the natural dish soap and the aromatherapy soaps & shampoos in the bathroom we felt the luxury. We walked to the beach every morning. It was so quiet our doggo was so happy & comfortable. We were impressed with how clean the space was considering it is pet friendly. Truly couldn't speak higher of this rental property. Will be back in time!

15 min. Walk from the Beach
The cottage had a well-equipped kitchen. The hot tub was a delight, though the outdoor shower felt like it belonged to the neighbours. The cottage is better suited to a single couple with or without children due to its open layout.

Very well appointed.
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed staying here. It was a pleasant surprise to see the space was much bigger than we initially expected. Everything was very well appointed, with detailed instructions throughout the home. This was the first place we’ve stayed where the Sonos system actually worked! We will be back!

Beautiful stay in Tofino!
The Starlight Suite was the perfect spot for our 4 day stay in Tofino! Everything was just as described. The space was quiet and private, and everything we needed for light cooking, making coffee in the morning, etc. Great location - it's about a 10 minute walk to Chesterman Beach, and Tofino and other beaches are a short drive away. Soaking in the hot tub in the evenings was a great bonus! Would absolutely stay here again the next time we're in Tofino!
