GUEST ACCESS
Guest's have access to everything on their floor. You are booking the first level of a 2-level house. The second level of the House is not accessible and is not part of your booking.
HOUSE RULES
All I ask is that you treat this residence the exact same way that you would want a guest to treat your own home ;) Please also acknowledge the following:
1. Based on past experiences, I do not host groups who are all 21 years of age or younger. If your group is 21 years of age or younger, please do not place a reservation without written pre-approval from me. Failure to do so will result in termination of your reservation and full charge of your security deposit.
2. Please note that I only hand keys to the person who booked the reservation and you must show valid picture ID.
3. All guests must be accounted for in the reservation. This means all guests stepping foot on the property at any point in time counts as a guest--in other words, the definition of a guest is not limited to only those people planning on sleeping inside the unit, but to all guests planning to step foot on the property line at any given time.
For example, if 8 people are going to "hang out" in the backyard during the day, but only 2 people plan on sleeping inside the unit, then the guest count selected during the booking should be "8" not "2". Any extra guests not disclosed before arrival will lead to an immediate termination of the reservation and full charge of your damage deposit.
4. No parties without pre-approval: I live on the second floor of the house with my family. Therefore, parties will be detected. If this rule is not followed, the full security deposit will be charged and you will be immediately removed from the unit. I will consider your request if you ask for permission first and specify details of what the party entails.
5. Not for commercial use or special occasions without pre-approval (weddings, bachelor parties, birthdays, commercials, bridal showers, photo shoots, etc.). I will consider your request if you notify me in advance. Failure to inform me in advance will lead to a termination of your reservation and full charge of your security deposit.
6. You agree NOT to have any sort of party, event, or loud music outside the house without pre-approval. If the city or police arrive at my home due to a noise violation, you agree to pay the city/police fine that might be issued.
7. No pets/animals are allowed on the property. If this rule is not followed, the full security deposit will be charged and you will be removed from the unit.
8. Please note that this is a smoke-free/drug free environment. If any smoking/drugs are detected within the unit, the full damage deposit will be charged and you will be removed from the unit. Smoking cigarettes outside of the house is permitted if you advise me first and I will show you a designated area to do so.
9. No excessive noise or loud music. Quiet hours start at 10:00pm. If any noise complaints are reported by my neighbours, the full security deposit will be charged and you will be immediately removed from the unit.
10. Please ensure to check-out on time in order to avoid a $50 late check-out fee--I need to have my cleaners clean the unit on time for the next guest to check-in. If you require an earlier check-in or a later check-out please request it in advance and I will do my best to accommodate you. Unless otherwise discussed, any guest who is still in the residence/building after 12 pm will be charged for an extra night. This does not apply if I have approved a late check-out in advance.
11. Guests take full responsibility for any accidents, injuries, or illnesses that occur while on the premises or its facilities. By accepting this reservation, it is agreed that all guests are expressly assuming the risk of any harm arising from their use of the premises. Guests recognize that they may personally purchase insurance to protect themselves in such events.
12. Just to confirm that you've read over the house rules, please state "I've read your house rules" when making an inquiry or accomplishing an Instant Book.
Most importantly, enjoy your stay and have fun!
INTERACTION WITH GUESTS
I would like to know who I'm hosting prior to accepting a reservation for my entire home. Part of the reason why I'm on VRBO/HomeAway is because I enjoy meeting people from all over the world. To that end, please tell me something about yourselves and the purpose of your trip when inquiring. Specifically, please introduce yourself and advise who will be accompanying you and mention the ages of everyone in the group--that being said, if everyone is over the age of 25, then just mention that.
I'm happy to be as hands-on or off as needed. If you're new to Vancouver/Maple Ridge, I would be more than happy to suggest restaurants, shopping areas, and local hot spots.
Either myself, my brother, my mother, my father, or a family member will check you into the residence during your visit.
Great property, would recommend and would book again.
We enjoyed our stay. The neighborhood was quiet and nice, with a lovely wooded park just a block away and a great playground there if you have little kids. We enjoyed close by hiking and a couple of trips into Vancouver. The house was comfortable and the air conditioning was a pleasant extra here in the Northwest. Shopping and restaurants near by were all that we needed. Would stay there again.
It was perfect for what we needed! Beautiful property close to stores and a wonderful restaurant on the river. I’d recommend it!
This property is clean with all necessary amenities for a group of 8 to 10 persons.
Really clean and good value for 3 bedrooms and we were 6 people. We really enjoyed our little reunion at this property. There is only one bathroom, but somehow it was not an issue.
Our family stayed two nights at this property. The house was clean, spacious and stocked with everything that we needed. They have a beautiful private yard with lawn. Would recommend this property!
Very clean and spacious accommodation in a very pleasant neigbourhood in Maple Ridge. This was in an ideal location for our trip, close to some nice parks such as Golden Ears Park and Kanaka Creek but also within 45 mins drive of downtown Vancouver. I was very impressed by the facilities, which included very modern but easy to use home security technology and a high speed router to keep the teenagers happy. The large curved TV in the lounge was also a very pleasant surprise with quick access to all of our favourite streaming platforms, within the touch of a few buttons The kids were very impressed with the bedrooms and the kitchen was well stocked with equipment as well as high quality and easy to use appliances. All of this made for a very comfortable stay indeed.
The house is comfortable and clean. Beautiful property, quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed the close proximity to hiking trails, Bears Ears Provincial Park, and downtown Vancouver.
When my family and I had a flood in our home, we were desperate to stay nearby while the remediation work was taking place. We were lucky to be able to find this property and I cannot say enough good things about the accommodations and the host. Sheldon was fantastic from the beginning to end and was always quick to respond to any of our inquiries. He even reached out immediately when he thought there may be a power outage (luckily there was not!) due to a storm to offer support, which I thought was extremely proactive. The home was clean and well-appointed (massive washer/dryer, great refrigerator, dishwasher, garburator), the beds were comfortable, and it had an amazing smart tv for our kids to be able to watch Netflix and keep themselves busy (they loved the couch cushions as well!). The yard is massive for the kids to run around in and it had tons of room for us to park both of our vehicles. It is already a very safe neighbourhood, but there was added security in the front gate to which we were provided a fob for entrance. We have had two separate family members stay inside this property on different occasions and they had nothing but good things to say about the home and the host as well. I highly recommend this property if you are ever staying in the Maple Ridge area. Thanks Sheldon!!
Plenty of space to relax. Multiple private bedrooms with large comfortable beds. Huge TV with Netflix and high-speed wifi
The portion of the house that we stayed in was fantastic. It had everything we needed plus some. The host was quick to reply to all of our questions. The back yard was lovely but it was unfortunate that there was a fire ban when we visited...the fire pit area looked beautiful. My husband and I wanted to visit to see if this was a vacation that we could take with our children and it definitely is and this property would be perfect. Thank you for being gracious hosts and providing us with a place to stay that had everything we needed and more.
