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.

Surf and Relax
Alaqua provides the most amazing location for surfing and enjoying the Pacific Northwest at its finest! Between the sun and rain, hot tubbing and playing board games, walking on the beach, surfing, playing frisbee, making memories with friends….we just couldn’t get enough. So we will be back! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Absolutely Perfect!
Alaqua on the Beach was the perfect location for our family vacation. The unit is extremely spacious and well appointed, there wasn’t one thing that we thought, oh I wish it had this. Kids enjoyed the hot tub with a view and our dog loved being right on the beach every morning…not to mention their dog bed, it was a huge hit! Tofino Vacation Rentals were great to deal with from start to finish, and were only a text away for any of my questions while there. Fantastic location, only 5 min drive to town…if it wasn’t for the pouring rain everyday we would have loved to walk the 20 min to enjoy the Tofitian and Tacofino. Next trip! We will be back!!

Amazing piece of paradise
We had a wonderful time here. The property is amazing and to watch the surfers from the hot tub and living room was so awesome. Steps to the beautiful beach and minutes from town (driving) was so handy. This was the perfect location for us and our 1.5 year old plus our dog. We all had a blast and will definitely be back to Tofino!!! If your hesitant. BOOK IT you will not be disappointed! Thank you thank you thank you!!!

Amazing location
Amazing location right on Chesterman Beach. You can watch surfers from the living room and the hot tub. It was great to be able to walk out of the house and right into the ocean. The house is more spacious and better than I actually expected after viewing pictures. The guidebook they sent me was very helpful. The kitchen was stocked with some basic items. The place was clean, the beds were comfortable and there were lots of towels. Would definitely recommend and rebook.

Fantastic location and comfort. Thanks!
The location is superb. Watching the waves from the kitchen is so nice. There is plenty of room for gathering inside on those very wet days. The hot tub is wonderful after a play in the surf.

Perfect place to stay in Tofino!
You could not get a better location to stay on Chesterman Beach in Tofino. We absolutely loved the property for the amenities and the unbeatable view. The house was very comfortable with everything you could want for a relaxing family vacation - great beds, linens, space for hanging out, space for quiet time, super clean hot tub - you name it, this place is wonderful. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you need and the house was spotless. We booked for use with our family - 4 adults and a dog. Both of the two adult kids had their own space and appreciated the separate spaces and excellent wifi for studying. The Tofino Vacation Rental team are fantastic and we would highly recommend. Thanks again for another great stay in Tofino!

Very comfortable home and absolutely the best location. Chesterman Beach the jewel of Tofino.
Really liked the 'great room' as I called it, and it is great. large family living area, eating area and kitchen. Home was clean and had all amenities we needed. The windows in the great room provide for a fabulous fabulous view. I would suggest ensuring the windows are cleaned as that did impact the view from within the home. Hot tub is a must for us and it was really a blessing we treasured. The beach is perfect. Nothing beats Chesterman Beach!!! Great property. Would do owners well to do a bit of fix up on outside where old boards could be replaced. Again I really really appreciated the home, property, location and every room in the home. Best to the owners during this covid time. Annette

Beds comfy but some Windows with no screens limited ocean listening. Loved the heated floors and hot tub. Would suggest Apple TV, WiFi extender and a Bluetooth speaker.
