Disliked: Cleanliness
We were very excited to find a VRBO that offered two bedrooms and two bathrooms, plus large kitchen and options to enjoy company and games. The price was much higher than most, but we thought it would be worth it for comfort and space for two couples.Upon arrival, we noticed right away that the kitchen counter tops were very very sticky. After we thoroughly cleaned them ourselves, we realized that the wood finish has not been done correctly for 'kitchen use'. Dishes, hot plates, pots, cups...literally everything was sticking to the counters. And that was not the end of the uncleanliness of the place. The following is a list of our disappointments;Due to the stickiness of the kitchen countertops, the stains do not come out eitherOven door must be held closed for the oven to operateWine fridge does not work at allUpper bathroom tub does not drain wellLighter for the BBQ does not workBBQ spark starter, does not workSliding glass door foot lock does not line upThe coffee steamer wand was filthy, so we did not use itOther areas that were of concern as a user include;It would have been nice to have a light over the table for game playing; a ceramic tea pot (not a metal one), information on how to run each of the appliances and the heating system; additional blankets and pillows in each bedroom; wall hangers and bedside table in 2nd bedroom. The whole place could really use a paint job. The door jams and electric heating in bathrooms are particularly bad.
Do you think this is a 5 star item?? Come on
Sticky mess below handle of sliding glass door
Door jam needs paint
Rusting our electrical cover in both bathrooms ... just needs paint

It had all the amenities we needed.

It was well stocked so that we could make all our meals in the kitchen, the hot tub water was heated and the BBQ worked perfectly. Additionally, it was in a nice location thst was quiet and peaceful.Initially, the dryer tripped off prematurely but the manager quickly responded to the issue.

Second stay at the Dunes House

This was our second stay at this property . We rented this house about 8 years ago and loved everything about it. the property is close to the beach, coffee shop and the new bike trail. However, we could not help but notice that it is in need of some TLC and looking pretty worn. It would also be nice to have screens on the windows and some outdoor seating that is comfortable. I would still recommend it to others as the benefits out weighed the negatives.

Weekend getaway

The property is tucked into its own little forest so it feels very private. Roomy, bright, very clean and has all the amenities including a wine fridge and a nice espresso machine. Very comfy beds, and lots of games in the living room. Perfect for the 6 of us. Highly recommend The Dunes for your stay in Tofino!

We loved this house with its rainforest garden. Beatiful, clean, well equipped with an extra bonus for the kitchen. Nice outdoor deck with a lovely jaccuzzi. We would gladely return often if it was closer to Stockholm, Sweden. :-)
