This is a great house from which to explore Tofino. We enjoyed the quietness of the property. The house is nicely laid out, cozy and clean. The kids enjoyed the hot tub.

We had an amazing time here. But, there were a few negatives...
Positives:
The house is lovely and the perfect size for 4 adults.
The kitchen was well-appointed and the hot tub and outdoor shower were magical ways to finish the day after hiking and copious amounts of exploring!
The location was very handy to the brewery and distillery and a great takeaway window (Soul).
Needs work:
The 2 main beds are both very soft, lumpy and uneven, so, if you're used to sleeping on something like an endy mattress (as we are)... you'll likely not enjoy sleeping in either of them.
The entertainment area is quite outdated as well... the TV and sound are substandard for what you might find these days... the Bluetooth speaker is cheap and sounds awful (if you can get it to work), there is no sound bar and the TV is tiny. We opted for the 15-inch computer to watch a movie before bed as it sounded better...
This was by no means a big issue for us, as the sun shined every day and we were out enjoying every minute of it, but, I could see this bothering anyone up there in storm season looking to decompress with a movie or show.
These things being said, we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again, the management checked on us daily to make sure we had everything we needed and we love to spend some more time in the hot tub :). 100% we would recommend!

Beautiful and private location in the trees. Quick drive to town and beaches, easy walking distance of the brewery and distillery. We thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor space (hottub, firepit, etc.) Very cozy inside, love the wood detailing/skylights and the soaps provided smell divine. Hosts were responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay here again!

We had a great stay here. It was clean and tidy when we arrived, minus the hot tub that needed a bit of extra care. The manager had it taken care of quickly and we were very happy with everything else. Great location, and comfortable for the group of 5 we had. Well-equipped kitchen. They thought of everything. Would definitely stay again.

Skylight cottage is a light and airy, well equipped 3 bedroom house about 2 km from Tofino. We loved being able to walk to the beach from the house and being walking distance to Tofino. The hot tub was a nice bonus and the outdoor shower would be great for surfers . Tofino was under water restrictions so we didn’t use the outdoor shower when we were there. You can also walk to a coffee shop and the famous Tacofino from the house. The check in and check out process was easy and we loved our stay. Hire some bikes and ride the bike path right past the house. Thanks!

Pros:
Lovely linens, beds, lotions, shampoo, well stocked kitchen, well built and designed home, amenities were solid too.
Cons:
On arrival there was a broken septic pipe and backyard was filled with puddles of solid sewage and smelled like poo. We felt this was a health hazard. I contacted the property management company 20min after arriving.
We were asked to use as little water as possible to not cause a back up into the house. The first day we didn't shower, wash dishes, or flush unless it was an emergency. The septic was not fixed until after 3pm the next day.
As the organizer of our family trip this made for an extremely stressful start. It meant many calls and texts with property management company, speaking with contractors on the property to diagnosis the problem, and also try and keep everyone having fun without water and sanitation.
For the inconvenience the owners only compensated us $300. That's less than the 50% of the total cost of night 1. I tried to repeatedly escalate to try and convey what I have written here to resolve this w/o a review - but I was told they wouldn’t negotiate.
There were good things about this property but they were overshadowed by the first day, and especially the lack of regard by the owners to rectify the experience.
We plan months in advance for this trip each year with family flying in from across the country. There’s lots of places to stay in Tofino. It’s not where I will book again.

Our stay at the Skylight Cottage was perfect. The property is perfectly private while being centrally located. The cottage was beautiful with all the amenities. The kids loved their rooms and being able to have a little room to play outside. However, we were so close to all the amazing beaches, shops and restaurants we spent most of our time exploring.

Everything was fit for royalty. It was really cozy and clean. The only problem was that the front door wouldn’t lock from the outside
