Beach house- Stunning Ocean & City Views | West Van Retreat

We had a wonderful time. The place was clean and comfortable. The stores were close and the views were amazing.

Nice location

Property and host were excellent. Cannot beat the location. Thank you!

Great view and nice rooms.

Great location, owner was very responsive to any questions we had during stay. Great view!!

The house was located up on the hillside overlooking downtown Vancouver, Stanley Park, and Burrard Inlet. You could walk down to Ambleside Park and the Village at Park Royal where the shops and restaurants were. Short drive to Capilano Suspension Bridge Park and Stanley Park. The house itself was a little older and had a lot of charm. It was hard to find an outlet for chargers. Kitchen was updated. Bedrooms were cozy. Basement had a bedroom, living room with TV, laundry room and second bathroom. There were plenty of towels and even beach towels. Kitchen was well stocked with all cooking necessities. Overall a great stay. There was one portable AC unit in the living room, which needed it, because the large windows let in a lot of light and heat. Luckily evenings were cool and there were a few fans available for use. The front patio over the single car garage was a great place to enjoy the breathtaking views during the evening hours as there was not any shade otherwise.

The view from the living room and deck is spectacular across Burrard Inlet to Kitsilano and Point Grey. The house is in walking distance to many coffee shops / bars / restaurants in the upscale Ambleside neighbourhood of West Vancouver. Park Royal mall is a short distance away. The hostess was very responsive to any questions we had. The weather was quite warm for our weekend stay in June - a portable AC unit was provided in the front living room (which has the great view but also full sunshine during the day). Fans were available in all the bedrooms to cool things down a bit. The house was very clean and the beds were comfortable. The downstairs TV room has cable tv and a VCR, the TV in the upstairs living room has netflix and streaming services. Good location, good value, good views, good communication with owner.

Loved the access to the water, shopping and nature, all with a great view.

This house was perfect for our family (2 adults and 4 teens) and close to many of the sights we planned to visit. Lots of great restaurants in West Van, just down the street, and a great park on the beach.

My family attended a wedding on the north shore. This location was easy to get around. Close to shopping and close to Stanley Park. Not to mention the great view from the house. This is a well maintained older home. We enjoyed our stay very much.

We had a nice long weekend here - central to lots of activities with a beautiful view.

Spacious and clean house in a great location with a fantastic view. We enjoyed our stay. Maya is very responsive and helpful. We look forward to stay here again.

Within 5-15 min to capilano bridge and grouse mountain. Lots of good eating nearby as well. House was clean, had plenty of amenities, bed was comfy and the view was spectacular.

Charming house with a great view; pretty, upscale neighbourhood. The house has a few minor quirks due to it’s vintage (limited electrical outlets) but it’s well-appointed for a family vacation home, and I enjoyed some of the remaining original architectural details. We all enjoyed our stay and the city!

Great location, great views and house was clean. The portable AC does not adequately cool the house and it was hot at night. The main deck could use some attention, some rotten wood and the umbrella is not usable. Manager was responsive when I called about the AC and house being hot.

This location is perfect for a family of 2 adults and 3 kids or for an adult family (no more than 5 people). We had four adults (3 siblings, one parent), and it was exactly what we needed. Comfortable, location was perfect (you need a car). The house was clean, the host was responsive, and the views were amazing. I loved how we were able to drive in and out of the city and around the surrounding areas with ease. You are close to a very upscale mall and a whole foods. Beaches near by. Our hike at Capilano was amazing. The food is wonderful (don't forget Richmond).

We had a wonderful stay. The location is excellent with beautiful views and easy access to the beach and groceries. Would love to stay again!

It was great for a family of five. The kids each had their own beds, very important for teenagers, it was clean and spacious!

We really enjoyed our stay. The views from the front patio are amazing. The house was clean and Maya was easy to get in touch with. Very convenient to groceries and restaurants as well.

A group of five friends attending a conference in Vancouver stayed here to avoid hotel rooms and the traffic of downtown. What a great decision! Unfortunately, it rained most of the five days that we were there, so we didn't get to enjoy the incredible views from the porch, but we did sit at the corner windows many, many times just staring out at the scene in front of us. The house was clean, well stocked, and perfect for the number of us. Maya, the property owner/manager, was always responsive when we did have a question, but we didn't have much reason to reach out as there were no issues. It was a short walk to restaurants, shopping (both food and clothing), and coffee shops. When we did have to go downtown, it was a 10 minute Uber ride. I love West Van, and I would highly recommend this house and the location for any trip to Vancouver.
