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!

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!

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.

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

Great beach and location with nice decks overlooking chesterman’s Beach. Kitchen well stocked on utensils but limited starter condiments. 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. We really enjoyed our family stay.

Epic location, great main living room
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!! My only message to pass on would be to ensure your cleaning staff is moving furniture to clean! Opening the sofa we found it was full of crumbs and lots of dust/garbage underneath. The last room in the hall smelled a bit musty. The main room was amazing. The location is unbeatable! The bathrooms were clean - we really had the best time and would 10/10 recommend and stay again!! Thank you!
