CEDAR SANDS located by Cox Bay Beach: Welcome to your home away from home. Located within walking distance to Cox Bay (approx. 10 min), one of Tofino's renowned surf beaches, Cedar Sands is a custom built, rustic, three bedroom house.
There are two comfortable bedrooms located on the main floor, plus a charming loft-style bedroom upstairs ( third floor)—perfect for kids or anyone who loves a cozy, elevated space. The home features two bathrooms: a shared bathroom with a stand-up shower, and a private ensuite with a deep soaker tub, ideal for unwinding after a day of adventure. Enjoy the open-concept fully stocked kitchen that flows seamlessly into the living room, offering plenty of space to play games, read a book, share a meal, or gather around the cozy wood-burning fireplace.
Gather around the outdoor fire pit, where the kids can enjoy roasting marshmallows while the adults unwind and soak in the joy of quality family time. Relax in the newly added wood barrel sauna — perfect after a day of exploring Tofino and all it has to offer. After a surf session, rinse off in the outdoor shower, or use it as a refreshing cold plunge between sauna rounds. Upstairs, the deck features a hot tub and a comfortable seating area, ideal for extra relaxation or entertaining under the stars.

***Parking: We can comfortably accommodate a maximum of 2 vehicles in the designated parking area. If you have a third vehicle, we can sometimes accommodate it as long as it is not a large vehicle, such as a truck. The third vehicle would need to be parked along the right-hand side of the driveway, in front of the garage. Please make sure the driveway remains clear at all times, as the on-site tenant also uses the driveway for access. Please let us know in advance if you have 3 vehicles.

On-Site Caretaker Suite – Tofino Bylaw: Please note that, in accordance with Tofino Bylaws for licensed vacation rentals, a long-term tenant resides on the property in a separate caretaker suite. This requirement helps support the local community by ensuring that long-term housing remains available for people who live and work in Tofino. Guests have full and private access to the entire vacation rental they have booked. The only shared area is the driveway/parking area. The caretaker has their own separate living space, so guests can still enjoy the privacy and comfort of the vacation rental throughout their stay.
Strict Quiet Hours: 10pm to 8am - please be respectful of the neighbours and locals!
