Cedar Sands-Cox Bay, Sauna, Hot Tub, Wood Fire Pit

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.

We really enjoyed our stay at Cedar Sands Cox Bay. The house was perfect with excellent amenities, able to enjoy the hot tub and sauna. It was quiet, peaceful and relaxing tucked back in the beautiful forest. The location was perfect with walking distance to beaches and a quick drive into Tofino. The property management was very thoughtful making sure we had everything we needed and were having an exceptional stay. Made for a very memorable weekend.

The host was super easy to work with, and the tenant in the suite below was either very quiet or not home because we felt completely alone in the middle of the forest which was the goal! The home was perfectly set up and cozy - the only thing missing was food storage containers but otherwise all was fantastic!

Well-appointed home that allowed us to cook hassle-free meals (air fryer!), very comfortable beds, and the hot tub and sauna were an extra treat. Host was thoughtful and responsive, connecting with us after our first night to ensure we had everything we needed, and again at departure to alert us ti adverse driving conditions. Absolutely would stay again.

Our family of 6 really enjoyed our stay at Cedar Sands. It was a perfect home for 6 people. Loved the hot tub, great big table for games and family meals and the kitchen was well-stocked. Excellent location within walking distance to Cox Bay and a short drive to Tofino. Would definitely stay here again.

Cedar Sands was just what we needed to escape the city and embrace the rain and waves! The house had everything to keep my kids ages 3 and 7 happy as well as my elderly parents. We really enjoyed the hot tub, easy walk to beach and beauty of the trees outside window.Would definitely rent again!

71st Birthday Family Trip

Overall experience ok. Some TLC to the place could be done. Rotten flowerpots. Main bedroom bathroom has some damage from previous guests. Upgrades to frying pans that have seen better days. Parking isn’t great with 8 cars parked at home next door coming and going. Elderly parents in bed early and tenant downstairs slamming a slider door multiple times from 1am on. Happy to celebrate my mom’s birthday but wouldn’t pay to stay at this location again. Overpriced and needs some love. James

The perfect Tofino stay for a group. A tree house vibe but really close to Cox bay, also, so central! Great communication and cleanliness. The house doesn’t have much soundproofing so we could hear others in their room. Otherwise a perfect vacay.
