We've stayed several times at the Sea Star in the past decade. Each time we've enjoyed our stay and found the accommodation completely met our needs. This trip we stayed in the Loft Suite. There were 3 of us and though the suite can accommodate more, we were very comfortable. The beds were comfortable and had nice comfy duvets on... More

Whilst this is listed as at Chesterman Beach it is interesting to know that it's only a few miles to the village of Tofino which has restarurants/supermarket/hardware store etc. We wanted a quiet spot to relax. The suite (we rented the Loft) comprised two bedrooms living room, decent bathroom and well equipped kitchen. The unit can actually accommodate 6 but... More

We stayed at the Sea Star Beach Retreat in Sept. It was perfect. It was clean and had a kitchen, living room, jacuzzi tub with a shower and a off to the side bedroom and yes a fireplace. The owners welcomed us and then we rarely saw them which was great (gave us our own space). We used the hot... More

We arrived at night, which could have been tricky, but the driving directions on the website were perfect! After a warm reception we were shown our unit (The Main Suite) 2 bedrooms and 2 bath with a large living area with a fireplace and full kitchen. This was ideal for our family of 4. Our 2 grown daughters enjoyed the... More

We loved our stay at the Sea Star Beach Retreat. The studio we rented was very nice and had everything we needed, and even contained a jacuzzi! The studio was within under 5 minutes walking from the beach where you can see very nice beautiful sunsets. The town of Tofino is just a small 10 minutes by car. We regretted... More

This is a small place, with 2 studios and one suite. Owners live in same building. We stayed in the Garden suite, a large space with bedroom, kitchen, couch in front of fireplace, 2 person jetted tub, large windows opening on private outside patio (gas BBQ provided) and rain forest. Very confortable, laid back, restful. Beach just 5 minutes walk... More

Sea Star is a great place when you have kids or teens in tow - comfortable, cosy and roomy - everything you need for a pleasant stay. We wanted to spend most of our days exploring Tofino and area and just needed a place to make our breakfasts and share quiet evenings after dining out. We stayed in "The Loft"... More

My husband and I booked our 20th anniversary at the Sea Star. It was a very nice room and being across the street from the beach was fantastic. We liked the short drive to Tofino. The room had everything we needed. The "hot" tub was not hot by the time the tub was filled so we only used it once... More

I have stayed at various places in the Tofino area such as Ocean Village and Crystal Cove and was hesitant to stay here due to the relative low cost. We could not believe how lovely the place was; wonderful 2 person jacuzzi, washer and dryer, everything you could need in a kitchen including a dishwasher, comfy bed and couch, larger... More

We liked to stay there despite there was no familiar atmosphere...the garden suite was very large but the outdoor landscape is simply trees...things were a bit unorganized, but with no direct impact in your stay. Without breakfast it is hard to rate it as a good value for money...not too expensive neither a bargain...location is ok, just a few minutes... More
