About this property

On-Site Caretaker Suite – Tofino Bylaw: Please note that, in accordance with Tofino Bylaws for licensed holiday rentals, a long-term tenant resides on the property in a separate caretaker suite.

Guests have full and private access to the entire holiday rental they have booked. The only shared area is the driveway/parking area. The caretaker has their own separate living space, so guests can still enjoy the privacy and comfort of the holiday rental throughout their stay.

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!!
Thank you so much for your kind review. I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed the kitchen setup and found the beds comfortable. I would love to welcome you back again anytime.
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.

I’m so glad you enjoyed the home! My apologies about the BBQ knob, but rest assured a replacement part is on the way, and a temporary BBQ has been put in place.

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!
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 !

Thank you Roman for taking the time to provide feedback on your recent stay! I'm delighted to learn that some highlights were the comfy beds, and location was good for surfing! We are excited to be able to welcome you back in the future.
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.

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!

We had a wonderful time! What a beautiful location and property. The hot tub and gas fire on the deck were perfect. Having a hot outdoor shower was amazing too. Communication with the owner/property manager was great. I hope we can come back and stay again!

We would love to host you again anytime!
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!
