ALAQUA ON THE BEACH is a long-standing rental in Tofino that has been newly updated. Located DIRECTLY on North Chesterman Beach where you can watch the waves roll in while relaxing inside by the fireplace or step out onto the back deck to take in the view while enjoying your private hot tub or fire pit. You'll enjoy the sweeping views of the ocean and relax under midsummer's starry nights or drift off to sleep to the tranquil rumblings of the Pacific Ocean.

Location: Nestled within nearly 1 acre of lush foliage with 100 feet of ocean/beach frontage onto Chesterman Beach, Alaqua on the Beach offers private beach access and infinite views of the Pacific.

Kitchen & Dining (main level): The main living area has spectacular hand-crafted cedar ceilings with an open concept living area, dining and full kitchen!

On-Site Caretaker Suite – Tofino Bylaw: Please note that, in accordance with Tofino Bylaws for licensed vacation rentals, a long-term tenant resides on the property in a separate caretaker suite. This requirement helps support the local community by ensuring that long-term housing remains available for people who live and work in Tofino.

This place exceeded expectations! The location was perfect with it being beachfront, and was only a short drive into town. The layout of the home was wonderful, it was equipped with everything we needed, and a bonus was that the beds were very comfortable! Would highly recommend staying here.

Absolutely unreal!

The Alaqua has the perfect location! It was so easy to walk the surfboards off the deck directly to the ocean, with a quick shower after the wet suit comes off and directly into the hot tub to take the chill off! The very large kitchen/living area is perfect for having all guests in the same place! An amazing location and the property management company was so good to deal with!!

Alaqua on the Beach is a truly special getaway—beautifully designed, incredibly comfortable, and perfectly located on Chesterman Beach, with unforgettable ocean views that makes it hard to ever leave.

We had such a special stay at Alaqua on the Beach—truly one of those places you don’t want to leave. The location is unbeatable, right on Chesterman Beach, with the ocean literally at your doorstep. Waking up to the view and the sound of the waves and being able to walk straight onto the beach (or watch the surfers from the living room!) was wonderful. The views are absolutely stunning, whether you’re inside by the cozy fireplace or outside on the deck. Sunsets were incredible as well! The house itself felt warm, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up for relaxing. We loved the open living space and beautiful wood details—it had that perfect West Coast feel. Everything we needed was there, from a well-equipped kitchen to comfortable beds, making it easy to settle in right away. The outdoor space and the hot tub overlooking the ocean was incredible, especially in the evenings under the stars. It’s such a peaceful, private setting surrounded by nature, yet still so close to everything in Tofino. It’s clear this home is designed for making memories—whether that’s slow mornings with coffee, long beach walks, or cozy nights in. We left feeling relaxed, reconnected, and already talking about coming back. Highly recommend—this place is something truly special. And love that it was dog friendly !! Our dogs had the best time!! There was an outside hose for us to be able to hose them down before they came in so we could keep the house clean, really the whole thing was just perfect!!

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.

Great location for our family holiday!

Great location nestled in the trees just steps off the beach but still bright and airy. Aquala is very comfortable and well equipped. Our surfers loved the direct walk to the waves, others loved the hot tub. Our second year booking with TofinoVR who are most helpful and responsive. We will be back!

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!

Great property. Phenomenal view & access to beach. Home was stocked decently. Main spaces were clean, however, windows and window seals need cleaned.
