We had a lovely stay at Alaqua on the Beach. What a special place. The home is in a perfect location with gorgeous light filled rooms and lots of space to stretch out and relax. While the home is dated, it is clean, comfortable, and communication is easy with the management company. We appreciated their willingness to work with some different requests that allowed us to do some tours and have our pets looked after in the home. We would be grateful to return to this home and the magic of Chesterman Beach.

Remembrance Tofino

We had a great 4 nights at Alaqua! The place is a fabulous fit for families, with wonderful open spaces, a kitchen that promotes gathering, and fantastic views and beach access. The hotwater outside shower is brilliant, and the adjacent hot tub for 6 makes those beach transitions a pleasure instead of a pain. Jacqui at TVR was excellent and timely with communications, making for a great Remembrance weekend memories.

Disneyland for dogs!

We love to visit Tofino at the end of October and stay beachfront on Chesterman with our 2 Bernese Mountain dogs. Alaqua did not disappoint. Super well equipped kitchen, private, loads of space, excellent location near Frank Island for eagle watching, hot tub is lovely. Any bumps in the road were handled immediately by the super efficient team at Tofino Vacation Rentals who were a dream to work with. Would highly recommend Alaqua - so much so we have booked it next year!

Oasis on the beach

Everything about our stay was 5 star plus! All the little extras included from the local dish soap, shampoo and hand soap; to the quick removal of any garbage and recycling were completely unexpected but very much appreciated. We really enjoyed the hot tub, outdoor shower and out door living space while gazing out to the beach. This was our second time at this property and is a “must book” property! We will be back!

Beautiful location

Great property. Phenomenal view & access to beach. Home was stocked decently. Main spaces were clean, however, windows and window seals need cleaned. The home appears older, furnishings a little run down, 2 bedrooms are small. We loved the hot tub, outdoor shower, dehumidifier, and overall beach life! Would come back!

Wonderful house in a stunning location

We spent an excellent week over spring break here with our kids. The house was wonderful and the beds were really comfortable. The hot tub was perfect at the end of a cool spring day and the sunset views were nothing short of stunning. I highly recommend this house and would definitely stay again!

Fantastic getaway

This property exceeded our expectations. The location couldn't be better, right off the beach and short drive to all Tofino hotspots. The beds were cozy and the kitchen was well equipped. We enjoyed winding down in the evenings with the hot tub and the big screen tv was a bonus for a late night movie. We would happily stay here again!

We truly loved the living room area, we spent most of our time in the living room, hot tub and beach. What a lovely home and had a lot of great things for all of us. We love pillows, lots of pillows, lots of blankets to be cozy and great about of dishes so we only had to run the machine onces a day. Great communication with the property manager and we had a lovely time.
