Our lovely 4 bedroom home faces directly on to Skaha Park and Beach. For some reason the VRBO map says it is a 7 minute walk to the beach but it's more like 7 seconds to the park and 30 seconds to the beach!

We have a formal dining and living room, a family room with a 55 smart UHD 4K TV (Netflix), and a kids games room with a 42TV and pool table. There are also two pullout couches in the games room. There are four bedrooms: three are standard sized bedrooms with queen beds. The master bedroom will provide someone with a lovely oasis. It is so large that it feels a bit like a self-contained apartment with a king sized bed, a 42 TV, and a two comfy chairs. Guests love the walk in river rock shower in the master bedroom en-suite.

In addition to the master en-suite , there are two more bathrooms, both of which are newly renovated, one with a shower and the other with a shower and bathtub.

All four bedrooms have air conditioning. We do not have central air conditioning on the main floor. We do have many fans and the lower floor of the house generally remains pleasantly cool.

A large two car garage provides ample room for storing bikes, golf clubs or other recreational equipment. Although our sons have grown and moved away, we have kept many children's books and games (and games for adults). We also have four kayaks that guests are welcome to use as well as a variety of sports equipment

The private backyard is fully fenced and gated with a large deck and BBQ area as well as a 2020 Coast Spas six person hot tub.

Twenty steps from our front door, you will find Skaha Park, which features the following amenities: sandy beach, concessions and ice cream, a marina, water-spray park, tennis courts and volleyball courts, softball diamond, two playgrounds, and an outdoor in-line hockey rink. The nearest neighborhood pub, the Dragonboat Pub is a five minute walk across the park.

The Bluffs, a world class rock climbing/hiking destination is less than a ten minute drive from our home. Many people prefer the Skaha Lake (south) end of Penticton. There are many recreational opportunities but because there are fewer motels, it is much quieter at night.

It is also perfect for a long ski weekend ( it is a 35 minute drive from our driveway to the Apex parking lot) or as a base for touring the dozens and dozens of close by wineries. There is not a better location for a family vacation in Penticton.

This is not a rental property - this is our family home that we share a few times each year with other families that will enjoy and respect our home. We are fully licensed.

    Our family of 8, including 2 young children, stayed here for a week and it was perfect. The home’s proximity to the lake, playground, and spray park was a real highlight. It comfortably sleeps 8 and is well-stocked with dishware, cooking tools, and bathrooms that made our holiday both relaxed and convenient. Richard and Karen are very welcoming and make you feel right at home. The large deck and beautiful backyard were where we spent most of our time together, and they were ideal for family gatherings. We highly recommend this property!

    Our family loved our time spent at this lovely home. Rick and Karen are incredible and so easy to communicate with. The home was so inviting and comfortable and the amenities so close were a huge bonus. Some highlights were our time spend in the back yard bird watching during our morning breakfast and happy hour sitting out front on the ski chairs while the kids placed ping pong. The kids loved having the beach, playgrounds and ice cream shops only a few steps away. We look forward to coming back in the future!

    Beautiful family home directly across from Skaha beach. Perfect for families with kids as the playground is just outside the front door. The house has everything you might need including a lovely hot tub for the evenings. The owners Rick and Karen go the extra mile to make your stay incredible. We hope to be lucky enough to get to stay here again!

    Lovely home that the hosts shared with us. The location across the street from the beach was awesome. The backyard is a lovely oasis that is quiet and the birds singing added to the enjoyment. Would recommend this place to everyone. The hosts were lovely and easy to contact.

    This is a special vacation property. Directly across from Skaha Park and Beach it makes a wonderful spot for a family or friends gathering. My husband and I were doing Ironman and it couldn't have been more perfect. Close to Eastside Road for cycling and across from the lake for practise swim's. Plus there's a garage for your bikes and a hot tub in backyard. Rick and Karen are wonderful hosts.

    It was serendipitous to have found Rick and Karen's home available for rent during the week we were looking for. With the beach right across the street, ice cream around the corner, kayaks for personal use, a ping pong and billiard table for evening tournaments, spacious air conditioned rooms, and a hot tub for relaxing - the listing was as described and truly exceeded our expectations! This was a much needed post-pandemic family vacation, thoroughly enjoyed by our group of 7. And we were fortunate enough to meet Rick on our last day, which made for a comforting end to our vacation. You will truly feel at-home-away-from-home. Thank you, Rick and Karen, for opening your home to us!

    We were a group of 6 adults touring the wine country. The house was in the perfect location across from the beach and we enjoyed the kayaking and water sports. The home was large enough to fit 8 people comfortably. For our group the house was great and if you had small children would also work perfectly.
