Spacious Dual-Level Retreat - A Unique Character Home Blending Classic Charm and Modern Comfort

**The lower level is accessed from an exterior door a few steps outside of the backdoor so it is not suitable for young children to sleep if parents are upstairs but ideal from any group that would appreciate the privacy of the lower level.

Embark on a one-of-a-kind living experience in our distinctive character home, perfect for families. Nestled in a serene neighborhood, our space uniquely combines expansive indoor and outdoor areas, with distinct upper and lower living spaces. Each level is infused with its own charm - the upper with its classic allure, and the lower with sleek modernity, ensuring a memorable stay filled with character and comfort.

The Upper Level:

Solarium: Relax in our cozy solarium, featuring large rotating windows and picturesque views of an old moss-covered pear tree. It's the perfect spot for sipping coffee or working on your laptop.

Amazing, communicative, understanding, patient host. Such a cool house with everything you could hope for and more. Couldn't ask for a better location, backyard to hang out in and fully stocked kitchen. Hope to have even an inkling of a reason to return and will recommend to anyone.

Amazing rental
My first experience using VRBO.The host made it a pleasure from start to finish. The location is perfect, walking distance to everything and the house was spacious, clean and had more than I expected in a rental. I have already recommended it to my Vancouver friends for when they have out-of-town guests who need a place to stay.

Kits beach/Granville Island power walk funhouse
Location was my initial draw to this house and it delivered in spades!!! Nestled in every flavor of shopping you could ever want with lil groceries with bagels, berries and coffee a-plenty! Sunset walks on the beach heavenly and spying on the Bard players. Such a perfect kick-off for our family Alaska cruise adventure. I even snuck a quick drive out to UBC to try and influence the college bound teens in our group of (beautiful) campus life. The downstairs are definitely low ceilings but the kids loved the games. Great fun gathering around the big dining room table for our bagel feast especially for our chance to reunite after many years apart. Thanks for the fabulous memories.

Amazing!
Our family of 6 stayed here for 5 wonderful days. The house is very well set up for families, with lots of kid-friendly activities provided. Our kids especially loved the badminton and the gaming station downstairs. The location was perfect for our needs - close to our Kitsilano family, Kit’s Beach, playgrounds and Granville Island. Our host was extremely responsive and seemed to have thought of everything that we might need to make sure we had a great stay. Highly recommended!

Wonderful family vacation at Kits Beach
We had a wonderful time! The house was great! Clean, everyone had their own bed, lots of fun games for the kids and family, and the solarium was delightful to hang out in with morning coffee or a night cap in the evening. The location was fabulous! We walked to the beach, Granville Island, and loads of restaurants and shopping just blocks away. It was such a great central location, we would 10/10 stay there again. The host was also great! Very communicative and close by. He even met us for check in. Highly recommend this property for your next trip to Vancouver.

Delightful Kitsilano Gem
This was the most well-appointed VRBO we've ever visited. John was communicative and gave clear instructions about where to park and how to check in. We felt welcomed as soon as we set foot inside. The house is cozy and feels like a true home vs. one of those antiseptic "air space"-style flips. Thank you for the lovely stay! We would love to stay here again.

Fabulous antique house w/ modern appliances
In a wonderful neighbourhood in Vancouver, this 1912 small house provides a taste of what was with all the modern conveniences. We found nothing lacking!! Actually the opposite, the host went overboard in providing extra little things you don’t usually find in rentals

Amazing place and great host
What a beautiful house! Such character and a homely feel. We loved it. The sun room was a particular favourite. Kent had supplied everything you could possibly need and more-from snacks and drinks to bicycles and games. He was very helpful and communication was good. We loved his doggo Oreo who visited with him. The house is in a lovely area with all kinds of amenities nearby: shops, coffee shops, eateries, the beach and the lido. Good transport links to the city too. We would love to stay again.

Excellent stay
This is certainly one of the most well equipped rentals I have stayed in and these touches were so appreciated when coming to the end of a long trip away with a toddler - very well stocked drinks and store cupboard supplies, kitchen equipment and toiletries/loads of towels/robes and slippers. The house itself has a lot of character as you’d expect from an old property, but was very clean indeed. Location was so convenient for shopping and beach. Kent couldn’t have been a more accommodating host - all in all a superb experience and would not hesitate book again when next over from the UK.

Perfect location for the full Vancouver experience
The house is so cute and comfortable, and the location is incredible. Everything was provided, from the expected towels and dishes to even snacks, umbrellas, and cloth grocery bags. It felt like being at home. There were so many restaurants within walking distance, plus a grocery store nearby. It was perfectly situated between UBC (the main purpose of our trip) and the fun touristy area of downtown + Stanley Park + Granville Island. The owner of the rental gave us a tour when we arrived, but he also had a binder in the house with all the information about the amenities and how to contact him if necessary. We couldn't have asked for anything better.
