Great property, on the beach, spectacular views of the beach

The property was great, probably the best equipped of any property I have rented. The only thing it needs is one more electrical outlet in the kitchen.

Wonderful, relaxing, special space with incredible views

We had an amazing time at the Alaqua in February with our two adult children. The open lovely space was wonderful, and we loved the big kitchen and round table for family dinners. We also liked how the master bedroom was separated from the other bedrooms. Our kids had the best time walking to surf and appreciated the outdoor shower. The views were incredible and we especially loved watching the surfers from the cozy living room and also from the hot tub! We hope to be back.

A Beautiful Winter Stay

We enjoyed our 5 night stay at Alaqua on the Beach tremendously. The location was spectacular-we were able to watch the waves and the surfers from the comfort of the great room. We enjoyed the many hiking trails and ability to walk to the Wickaninnish Inn for coffee and treat in front of the fireplace at the Driftwood Cafe. It was a short 5 minute drive to town for groceries and restaurants. The Shelter restaurant was wonderful. We also splurged on dinner at The Point. Two fantastic meals! The home's kitchen was perfect - everything we needed to prepare meals when eating in. The beds were super comfortable. Danielle and team were very responsive. All questions were answered promptly and with warmth and kindness. We were so grateful for the place, the people and the stay. Thank you!

Dream Vacation

We had an amazing friends weekend at the Alaqua. The round great room space of the living, dining and kitchen is perfect for entertaining a group. We had warm and sunny weather in January (almost unheard of), and sat outside for hours on one of Tofino's most beautiful beaches - right at our door step! If the weather had turned to rain, we would have spend that time enjoying the storms from the great room - it felt like we had theater seating. The beds were very comfy and Tofino Vacation Rentals was a pleasure to work with. It felt good to support a locally owned business. TVR and the Alaqua are highly recommended by our whole crew.

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.

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!!

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.
