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!!

Amazing place on Chesterman

We love staying here! So well located, and they allow our pup to join in the fun - pretty sure no dog is happier than when they are running around the wide beaches of Tofino. We will be back!

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!

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.
