—Is This the Right Stay for You?

As former home exchange hosts, we welcome families and groups who are looking for "a home away from home" with the mindset of treating it as they would their own, including neighbours and a few basic house rules, like garbage and recycling guidelines.

If you prefer a hotel-style experience with 24-hour service or a rental-only property, this may not be the right fit—but if you're looking for a warm, well-stocked family home with incredible amenities in Vancouver's premium neighborhood, we would love to host you!

We encourage guests to ask plenty of questions before booking so we can ensure our home is the right fit for you.

Reach out with any questions—we look forward to welcoming you!

[Monthly stays: Bookings of 27 days or longer qualify for a refund of the 11 percent tax automatically charged at checkout]

FILTHY, DO NOT STAY HERE

We have stayed at vacation rentals as a family many times over the years. After traveling from the US we entered a filthy disgusting property. The host refused to make it right, told us to leave and we'd get full refund. He said the owner approved it. We were stranded but had no choice but to leave. Then the owner has lied since and we are still fighting for our refund (which we will keep doing!). This owner and host are extremely dishonest. AVOID THIS PROPERTY!!

Fabulous house for our family of 5, so comfortable, we felt like we were just at home!

Lovely house for our stay in Vancouver, the air conditioning was welcomed during the hot days. Everything was accessible and the house was very comfortable. Juliet and Anita were always at the other of the phone if we had any questions. Would highly recommend!

Great house, great location

We loved staying here. It was actually our second time renting this house! The neighborhood is quiet and beautiful, located next to trails for walking/running. Plenty of restaurants within a short drive. The house is gorgeous, plenty of space for the six of us. My son had a great time switching “his” rooms from one kid room to the other. We appreciated the AC units in some of the bedrooms, as those were not there the first time we stayed! Overall a fantastic place to stay.

Hip and cozy hideaway

Loved our stay!!!! Hip and cozy family home tucked away on a quiet street in West Point Grey. Lots of natural light, great kitchen, plenty of space for a busy group to have some time away. Steps from Pacific Spirit park and a short walk to a great wine store and coffee shop! 100% recommend.

West Point Grey holiday

We had three generations visiting from out of town for a special celebration. This house was a perfect place to comfortably accommodate differing needs and schedules. Walks in Pacific Spirit park just a block away were fabulous as well as easy access to the beach, transit and Vancouver highlights.

Lovely modern home

It was a pleasure staying at this home for a couple of months. Juliette was a kind, accomoating and attentive host who made sure all of our inquiries and questions were answered. The home was well equipped and there were plenty of rooms/beds that were set up for our family's needs. The home was close to shopping, parks, restaurants, UBC and the West Point Grey Library. We greatly enjoyed our time at the home and would recommend it to other families who are planning to stay in this area. Many thanks again Juliette for a great experience! Torres Family
