Alaqua on the Beach-100 feet of beachfront hot tub
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.

Kitchen & Dining (main level): The main living area has spectacular hand-crafted cedar ceilings with an open concept living area, dining and full kitchen! The panoramic views of the surf are the backdrop for any chef adventures, with a large kitchen island with comfortable bar seating for all chefs in training and a 6 seat dining table perfect for entertaining.
Living Area: Your comfy retreat after adventure is on the main open concept level with large smart TV with cable and a large gas fireplace.
Bedrooms: Alaqua comfortably accommodates 6 guests across three bedrooms. Primary Bedroom: An expansive bedroom taking up the top floor with King size bed, large TV, balcony, reading nook and en suite bathroom.

Our stay at the property was amazing! Tofino rentals was awesome to communicate with. All aspects of this home could not have been any better with the location being the best part of it all! Kid and pet friendly. Would love to stay again soon. Tofino is the best place!
We had an unbelievable stay. The place was amazing, so comfortable, beds awesome and we had great weather, cool but our children were in surfing. The host Steven Bick was amazing And what can we say about the beautiful Chesterman’s beach. Can’t wait to go back !
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!
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 had a lovely stay in this beautiful property. There is no better view in the world. We had a couple of small problems but the host addressed them immediately. We were very happy with our stay.
Truly magical stay at the Alaqua on Chesterman Beach. This 3 BR beach house had all the amenities and more, with the most amazing views of the surf.... wish we had time to stay for longer. A true 5 star experience! 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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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!
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!

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.

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!
the host was welcoming and the location was excellent

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!!
Everything was great - clean, comfortable, luxurious accommodation. We had a problem with the BBQ, but the host was immediately responsive and accommodating once I reported it.
Everything we could think of was provided.Danielle was an amazing hostess who was so attentive!Views to die for. Hot tub was so relaxing. We would definitely recommend and will be coming back,
