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.

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! 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. Please note there is no door separating the stairs down to the main level.

Outdoor Space: A newly built exterior deck has seating perfectly situated for the ideal beach views from the propane built in firepit, hot tub and BBQ including an outdoor shower for post beach time!

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. Guests have full and private access to the entire vacation rental they have booked. The only shared area is the driveway/parking area.

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!

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!!

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!

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!
