Could have been better

Great location however the house could have been cleaner, spider webs everywhere and the quality of mattresses and beds are low compared to the area of the house. A lot of instructions given which does not give you full privacy (since they live above you). Communication could have been more professional. Not bad overall

I found the property to be just as it was listed. It worked very well for my 91 year old Mom. Sitting outside was very relaxing and the view is fantastic! I have found my home away from home. Janet

Ideal location

Our hosts are lovely people but as this is a basement unit you can hear them walking around upstairs and their muffled conversations. For the amount of the rental I expected 5 star cleanliness.

Awesome neighborhood with great amenities

West Vancouver is home to fantastic neighborhoods, multi-million dollar homes and all of the associated amenities. Lower level three bedroom suite with the owner's staying above. Check-in was super easy with Mr. Christianson showing us everything as well as recommending attractions, things to do, grocery stores and more. The Christianson's were there the entire time and available to us for all of our needs. The entire process was easy and we appreciated the fireplace for cool nights. Definitely recommended and a great location for those going to Whistler. Downtown Vancouver is an easy 15-20 minute drive.

Million dollar view

My family and I had a fantastic weekend stay at Gail's place. The home is warm and cozy, beautifully appointed and space for all. The backyard space was great with amazing views and lush vegetation. The home was easy to find and access and only a short drive to nearby shopping and attractions. I would highly recommend Gail's place and hope to stay there again on our next visit!

Beautiful neighborhood and view

Our stay in West Vancouver was great from the beginning. Gail was a perfect host and had everything in the house that we could possibly need. The location was in a beautiful part of Vancouver on the west side up on the mountain, it was great access to the city as well as tourist spots such as Capilano suspension bridge, Grouse Mountain, Whistler and the ferries to Vancouver Island. It would be best to have a Rent-A-Car if you are staying here, it is not within walking distance to tourist attractions. The kitchen was well-equipped and the Wi-Fi worked very well, the bedrooms were roomy and the beds were extremely comfortable.

Excellent central location, upscale neighborhood in the safest part of Vancouver.

Great location! Local bus stops right in front of the house. Taxis are easy to get too. Nice city and ocean view and a nice outdoor patio with a BBQ. Some really great hiking trails that go right behind the house and a lot more trails near by. Free blackberries in August on the trail behind the house. Very comfortable beds, Lots of room. Really nice hardwood floors and a super well equiped kitchen with new counters and appliances. Good Internet service. Everything was very clean and neat and there even a washer and dryer. Wasn't missing a thing. The owners were very friendly and easy to communicate with. Would definitely recommend this rental. Thanks for a great stay!

First class accommodation

We were looking for a home away from home when we visit our family in Vancouver. This is a cheerful, light filled suite with gorgeous views in a quiet residential area in Luxurious West Vancouver. Gail provides a warm personal welcome and the suite is well equipped to make our stay very comfortable.

Great views and comfortable home for 2 families.

We wanted a good place that was close to the skiing hills in Vancouver & whistler and still have the option of going to Vancouver for short trips. Gail's property was perfect. 15 mins from everything in Vancouver and also cypress / grouse. And 1.5 hours from Whistler. The home was also fully furnished and had plenty of room for 4 adults and 4 kids. The kitchen was perfect, the fire place kept us warm throughout the stay.

Great views, comfortable

We loved our stay at Gail and Brian's place. The views were unbeatable, amenities many, property clean and comfortable, and location great for exploring the many sites. We were able to hike some local trails that started right out the back door. The hosts were welcoming and responsive to a couple of questions during our time there. Highly recommended!

A nice and cozy place to stay. Well decorated with a beautiful view and neighborhood. Our needs were available and transportation was easily in reach. And more important of all was a caring and modest landlady who gave us a high degree of attention and respect.

West Van House

Thanks to Brian and Gail. This house has beautiful views of both the ocean and the mountains. There is a lovely porch area. This home is situated among some of the finest homes in West Vancouver, and is spotlessly clean! Our hosts provided everything we needed, lots of towels, shampoos, etc. plus they are very accommodating, friendly and fun. Close to all sightseeing, a great place to stay! The location is an easy drive to Whistler, Squamish, Grouse Mountain, Horseshoe Bay.

Luxury Ocean View Garden Level Suite

What a great place to stay with a family if you want to explore Vancouver or Whistler. The suite is the downstairs portion of the house (with the host living upstairs), closed off from upstairs and with a private entrance. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable and there is a full kitchen. What makes it so special is the neighborhood. It is located in a beautiful and posh suburb, just 15 minutes from Stanley Park and the west end of Vancouver. It has a gorgeous view of the harbor and is quite close to the center of West Vancouver, where there are restaurants, stores, and the sea wall. All in all a very comfortable and quiet place to stay!

Met our needs

The community this property is located in is a wonderful, hilly upscale community. It was very quiet and private. The "suite" itself is a 2-3 bedroom unit which is the walkout basement of the owner's home. The property shows well and appears bright and cheery, largely due to the decor. However, it was in need of some re-stocking. There are only 4 coffee mugs and very few spatulas, etc. Appears that this property gets what's about to be tossed out from main house. It would also be nice if there were some spices, etc. There was only salt available. Coffee was supplied, but no sweetener or creamer which I found unusual for a property through homeaway-especially in this type of setting. There is a gps available if you needed it, which was a nice touch (we did not). The owner met us there after arrival and was pleasant and gracious, but we were put off being pressed to pay a $75 cleaning fee. It continued to rub us the wrong way since upon arrival the dishwasher was full and the house was not as clean as the fee would warrant. Not sure what that fee was for. The unit is in need of a very thorough cleaning. Fixtures, windows, picture frames were in need of a scrubbing and hadn't been tended to for some time. As one said, "it's surface clean". Crumbs and broken pieces of styrofoam about the floor indicated to me that only sheets and linens had been changed. Just don't feel that the cleaning fee was justified. Oh shower temp has extreme fluctuations. Be careful. Having said this, the property is very comfortable and in a good location. Far enough, but not to far. We all slept GREAT! Crack the windows and listen to the water running through property.

Luxury Ocean View Garden Level Suite

The place itself speaks for itself. Looks even better in person. Located in a beautiful hill community of large homes in West Vancouver, there are breath-taking views at every turn. The garden level suite was surrounded by luscious greens, and the therapeutic sound of the stream running through the backyard was enchanting! There are huge bay windows that ushers in the welcoming sunlight throughout the unit, so the place always feels bright and clean. The amenities were awesome: full kitchen allowed us to save some money on going out all the time and the laundry machine was critical for us as we had young kids. Downtown Vancouver is just a 10-15 minute drive at most, Capilano a 10 minute drive, and Staney Park a 10 minute drive as well. Couldn't be more convenient of a location- everything within a quick driving distance but without the congestion of staying downtown. Gail is a wonderful host who met our every need and she even baked us cookies to welcome us! We were quite sad to leave this awesome suite!
