Overnight to see the lights
My spouse and I, our two adult children and their partners stayed overnight after seeing the lights in the Van Duesen botanical garden. The house was a wonderful home base, and we would stay there again.

Bermuda Love
My fam moved to Seattle from Bermuda and upon my visit decided that Canada needed to be on the vacation itinerary.I agree! It was beautiful and charming. Absolutely suited all of our needs.The claw foot tub was luxurious and I had a bath each evening with the bath salts provided.It’s such a tiny touch but monumental.Even having the basic spices in the kitchen was helpful.I loved every second of our stay and hope to be again for longer.

Three weeks in Vancouver
This house was just right for us. It is a good size and in a good location and the price was reasonable especially for a major city. It has parking. There are a couple of nearby restaurants and it is also walkable to a grocery store and pharmacies. We found it to be quiet, with comfortable beds and comforters. Good appliances and a nice big TV. Alice was nice to communicate with. We would stay there again.

Nice New Year’s Eve stay
Property was clean and kitchen was fully stocked with tools and seasoning. Bathrooms were clean. Beds were clean. There are two people living in the basement units that we weren’t informed would be there. Also they gave us the incorrect check in code. We needed to contact the host to resolve the issue.

Meet Your Hosts: Alice and Angie
Alice and Angie co-host this charming home in Vancouver’s upscale Dunbar neighbourhood. Together, they bring a wealth of experience and a shared passion for creating a warm and inviting stay for guests from around the world.

Angie’s journey is one of resilience and inspiration. Born in southern China during the 1970s, she overcame significant early challenges, including being separated from her biological family as a baby. Adopted by a loving family in northern China, she later reunited with her birth parents in 2023, thanks to incredible support from people worldwide.

After immigrating to Canada in 1999, Angie pursued a Computer Science degree at Simon Fraser University and built a multifaceted career, including roles as a software developer, Realtor, and property manager. This diverse background equips Angie with the skills to deliver a seamless hosting experience. Her life experiences also inspire her ongoing mission to give back, including developing a platform to reunite families separated by adoption.

Alice and Angie’s home reflects their commitment to comfort and hospitality. The beautifully renovated space includes three scenic bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and a private backyard and deck. Guests will enjoy modern amenities alongside the charm of a thoughtfully designed property.

Nestled in a friendly community near UBC, it’s the perfect base for exploring Vancouver’s natural beauty, vibrant neighbourhoods, and top attractions.

Their shared mission is to provide guests with not just a place to stay, but a home away from home. Whether you’re visiting for leisure, business, or family time, Alice and Angie are dedicated to making your stay unforgettable.

Dunbar’s location also makes it incredibly convenient—it’s close to UBC, downtown Vancouver, and some of the city’s top attractions. Its safe, welcoming environment and rich blend of nature and city life make Dunbar the ideal place to host guests and share the best of Vancouver.
