Starlight Retreat-Hot Tub, OD Shower, 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, projector onto the ceiling for comfy movie nights in bed, a generous open space with a private bathroom, ample closet space, and an adjoining room with a work desk and purple chair that folds down into a mattress perfect for kids. 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 location, thoughtful touches, and amazing service!

We had an amazing stay! The house was spotless, cozy, and welcoming, with everything you could need. The location is perfect, close to everything but quiet and peaceful. Little touches like coffee and snacks waiting for us and a Christmas tree for the holidays made it feel extra special. The TVR team was incredibly kind and responsive. When our car battery died, they arrived to jump it in under 15 minutes! Truly above and beyond service. We can’t wait to stay here again!

Great house for a family vacation in Togino

We enjoyed Starlight House. It was clean and comfortable. The whole area is very walkable and bikeable. I would stay here again. We loved the whole Tofino area. There’s so much more to do there than what we had time for. Thank you for offering your home!

3 wonderful days and nights

The Starlight Retreat property is first class. It is cozy, well built and maintained, very clean, super comfy beds, with wood burning stove for cooler nights. The hot tub was amazing. It’s a short Walt to the south entrance of Chesterman Beach. Can’t wait to come back.

It was lovely and quiet, a perfect get away. Exactly as described. We had friends camping at surf’s grove so a short distance away. Plenty of towels and they left us some little goodies. Super thoughtful. We will stay again. Also the beds were super comfortable and the sky was lit up with the Milky Way!
