Your private suite has been thoughtfully designed with comfort and convenience in mind and features:

• A spa-inspired bathroom
• Fully equipped chef's kitchen with brand-new appliances
• In-suite washer and dryer
• Comfortable living room with a premium queen-size sofa bed, smart TV, and dedicated workspace
• Spacious bedroom featuring a queen-size Tempur-Pedic mattress and an adjustable lifestyle bed with customizable head and foot positioning

Step through the elegant French doors and unwind in our therapeutic hot tub—the perfect place to relax after a day of sightseeing, hiking, skiing, or exploring the city.

For outdoor enthusiasts, we also offer snowshoe and snowboard rentals. If you'd like to explore the area on two wheels, Lime e-bikes are conveniently available throughout the neighborhood.

Weekend in Vancouver

We loved this Vrbo! Very clean and the perfect location. It was quiet and a great place to stay to get away from the busy city, but close enough to get to it! Great place! Will stay again!

Best of Vancouver!

We had the most amazing experience staying here during our visit to Vancouver. Josh and Alison were wonderful hosts. They were very warm and welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. They went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience and we definitely did! The suite had just been updated and was cozy and prestine. We would recommend this place to anyone visiting Vancouver!

Our goal was to stay close to the Capilano Bridge and Grouse Mountain and visit a friend in the area. This location was perfect for it. The unit is modern, well furnished and in a very quiet street. Hosts were welcoming and communication was solid. It is a nice unit for a couple. The description of the unit was accurate. I highly recommend this property. We stayed for two nights and would stay there again.

Great Vancouver hideout

We rented this great property to "hide" from our kids and take a much needed break from parenting. The space was wonderful and comfy to hangout in. We binged a ton of tv and movies. The hot tub was great for soaking in after walking every where. And there's a ton to walk to. We never drove our car the whole time we stayed here. The owners were friendly and easy to access!
