Feb 23, 2025 #### 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. ##### Rachael P. ### 8/10 Good #### Josh W.

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.

Super well equipped kitchen, private, loads of space, excellent location near Frank Island for eagle watching, hot tub is lovely.

Jan 27, 2025 #### 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. ##### Jocie I. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Margaret S. Feb 19, 2025 #### 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! ##### Margaret S.

Great location nestled in the trees just steps off the beach but still bright and airy. Aquala is very comfortable and well equipped.
