One of the greatests stays I could have asked for.
The host had everything written out from the start which made check in very simple and the place was absolutely amazing. If you ever have the chance to stay in vancouver please consider picking this home. The host was one of the most thoughtful and attending host that I have had the pleasure to talk with. If I ever need to stay in vancouver know that I will be picking this place again!

Spotlessly clean, well-appointed, great details for the kids including a small climbing wall and some gym equipment. Owners make the most of the space with tons of storage and logical layout. Hot tub was great. Location was within walking distance of the light rail. Highly recommend this property for families.

Chic property in nice area
The property is a modern house in a well established area. The immediate surroundings are lovely with the park & community gym/rink etc adjacent. No aircon, but good ventilation. No TV, but why watch TV when there is so much to do in Vancouver! It is relatively close to Vancouver centre making a car not essential, but taxis do add up, do your own homework. Restaurants & Safeway are walkable. Sam was a delight to deal with. Would recommend.

Wonderful stay with great amenities. There is no tv which wasn’t a huge problem, but we would have liked to watch a movie in the evening.
Be aware that there is no Air Conditioning which can get unbearably hot during the summer.

Vancouver Family Trip
We stayed with my family which included 3 children and grandparents. The place was charming and clean. My children loved the rooms and books! It was hot (we visited in the summer), but the fans and open windows at night solved that. I only wish there were screens on the doors and windows, but that’s not a big deal. The location was excellent - central to all the activities we visited (Stanley park, Chinatown, downtown, north Vancouver). Trout lake behind the house was also a big plus, as we walked, visited the farmers market and played on the playground. The host was very accommodating and had great communication. Overall, it was a great place to stay, and we would do it again.

The home was very clean and everything is well organized and labeled! The location was great and we loved that we could easily access the park through the back so the kids could burn off some energy. Check in and out was quick and easy and Sam is very responsive. Would definitely stay here again when we visit Vancouver.

Exceptional stay with unique amenities
Our family has stayed in many rentals but Samantha's home really stands out. My youngest said it was the best rental ever and my tween liked being able to have his own space on the third floor. That was something very important while being together so much on a long trip - everyone had their own space to escape to when needed.
The host could not be more gracious and accommodating. This is truly their home and you can sense that it is not a sterile rental that is a revolving door of guests.
Being on the park was an incredible amenity for us. Having green space, walking paths and a playground just beyond the back fence was very nice.
All of the beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of storage.
The house does have three floors so it may not be a good fit for those with mobility issues or very young children.
My biggest concern for a stay away from home is safety and quiet. This home does share a wall with neighbors but we did not hear one sound from next door. The neighborhood also felt very safe.
We did use the SkyTrain one day to visit downtown and found it easiest to use one of the parking garages near the station. The cost was minimal and the ride to the waterfront station took all of 9 minutes with trains coming every 2 minutes.
The home was equipped with everything we needed and more. Parking was never an issue and we couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Clean, Fun, Great Location
Sam’s house was everything our family needed for our stay in Vancouver. The kitchen had everything we looked for including possibly the best coffee I’ve ever had. Everything was very well marked and easy to find. Wonderful use of space. My daughter loved the gymnastics and climbing room and my son liked the “party room” as he called it. King bed was comfortable. If you have mobility issues know that there or lots of stairs. Landscaping and patio were nicely done. Hot tub was clean. Nice neighbors. Beware that Google Maps comes up with the wrong house. Same block but it’s not a green house. Perfect for families, couples, friends. Great location to explore the Vancouver area.

Wonderful stay in Vancouver
The house was very clean and welcoming. The hosts left us snacks for the kids and a bottle of wine for us. Lots to do for kids, between the climbing wall/trapeze and many books and games. Though the weather in Vancouver was unusually warm and the house has no A/C, the fans kept the house plenty cool at night. It is within walking distance to public transportation and borders a park that has a great Saturday farmer's market. We had a wonderful experience!

Gorgeous home in a beautiful Vancouver neighborhood!
We were 2 couples and 2 kids staying at Sam’s place and had a wonderful experience. They have a beautifully designed home, everything in the home is labelled and clear, we slept really comfortably, the kids had a blast in the kids room with the swing and climbing wall, and the adults really enjoyed our hot tub in the evenings! Also, being around the corner from trout lake park was perfect with two young kids. We would definitely stay at Sam’s again!

Lovely!
We enjoyed this rental immensely. I don’t think the pictures do it justice. The little garden in the front and back were full of vibrant green plants and the lovely big windows on the house brought in all of that green and the beautiful summer light.. The owners put a lot of love into the layout and decoration of the house. After being crammed into an airplane for hours and hours and all of the headaches of travel we were all absolutely thrilled to be able to unwind and relax in the garden hot tub. We also loved the short, convenient walk to the Drive where we found excellent food and got some great last minute haircuts (Kokopelli Salon). There is a game store nearby as well. They sell all of the best board games which my teens loved. The owner was very responsive and couldn’t have been nicer. Thank you for the lovely stay!

Absolutely amazing place!!!
All I can say is wow! Samantha was an awesome, communicative, sweet and friendly host! The home was extremely clean and had all amenities you could think of and more, coffee,cream,laundry detergent, shampoo,ect. It had such beautiful views and even some extras in the kids room which my niece loved! We were welcomed with a thoughtful card and a bottle of wine which I thought was just the sweetest thing ever. You can walk straight out to the huge park and lake right off the backyard gate and it was only a few minutes of a walk to restaurants and shopping. Very safe, clean and quiet neighborhood. Samantha was very quick to respond or give us any info needed. We loved our stay so much and are planning on going back. We will definitely hope to get to stay at Samantha’s again. Thanks Samantha!!!

Belle hospitalité canadienne
Tout était parfait, on s'est senti comme chez nous! La maison est agréable à vivre et très bien équipée (de la dosette de café jusqu'aux différents jeux de serviettes de bain, tout y est !). Le quartier est calme (seules les "gooses" vous réveilleront le matin). La Skyline, un Safeway et la meilleure boulangerie de Vancouver (Flourist) sont à moins de 10 minutes de marche de la maison. Sam est une hôte qui fait tout son possible pour rendre notre séjour agréable. Une excellente adresse à retenir pour notre prochain passage à Vancouver
