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 hot tub and sun deck, as it was chilly at the beach. Chesterman Beach is just a 2 minute walk down the road and through a trail. This was my first time to Tofino and as it turned out this location was everything I hoped for. Long walks on a beautiful beach with shopping, dining, and surfboard rentals a 5 minute drive away.

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 we booked for only two nights, because you can do various nice thins near Tofino.

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 away.
Kitchen is so well equipped it even had the instruments to eat crab -
This is no B&B: owners leave you to do what you want - this is what we prefer.

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" for 4 nights and it was exactly what we needed - the comforts of home but with the remarkable beauty of Tofino surrounding us (and a place to store your surfboards!). Chesterman Beach is a short walk away, and the town of Tofino just a 2 minute drive away. We found the beds very comfortable, the eat-in kitchen perfect, and the sunken tub in the washroom amazing. The area surrounding the Sea Star was very peaceful and lush with nature - a great way to experience Tofino.
