We loved this Vrbo! Very clean and the perfect location. It was quiet and a great place to stay to get away from the busy city, but close enough to get to it! Great place! Will stay again!

Fantastic Remodel!
We were surprised with a heavily upgraded room! A full kitchen, bigger bed with adjustable frame, and a rain shower head! Brand new remodel! Great neighborhood with a greenway and fantastic restaurants nearby. They provided small amounts of dairy and eggs which saved us a trip to the store. Hottub was big and enjoyable!

Short Getaway
The accomodation was very nice. We made good use of the nearby walking trails and public transportation. Lonsdale Quay, Capilano Swinging Bridge and BC Place were all easy to reach. The hosts were generous with the shared common areas.

Cottage in the city
I came in late and Josh waited up to make sure I made it and showed me around so I could find everything. Such a wonderful couple. So attentive knowing that I was there for medical appointments they checked in on me and we had amazing conversations during my stay. Absolutely loved sitting on their back patio in the morning just listening to the birds. So relaxing

From delicious coffee under the covered patio to sunset hot tubs, this was everything we were hoping for in a quite North Vancouver location. Friendly & wonderful hosts made our stay the perfect getaway while we explored every bit of Vancouver.

Highly recommended
Alison and Josh made us feel like home during our 3 day stay at their cozy cottage on the shore. Everything was super clean, organized and easily accessible. They provided us with very useful information about the best places to visit in Vancouver. We also enjoyed very much their hot tub and the coffees we made from their coffee machine. The cottage is located in a quite neighbourhood with easy access to Vancouver downtown, and the bed and pillows were perfect for sleeping comfortably. We highly recommend this cottage for your stay in Vancouver.

Best ever
Loved everything about it. Hosts are wonderful and so is the house and the location.
Had a wonderful stay here with Alison and Josh. Location was perfect with easy access into downtown Vancouver by car. If I could give it more than 5 stars, i would.
Ali and Josh are the best host anyone can ask for. They are super friendly and we’re constantly making sure we were good. Everything was clean. They provided all the basic necessities. Their dog Timber is such a beautiful and well behaved. We feel in love with him. There is a Walmart about 10-15 walking distance and a few restaurants as well. Beautiful neighborhood and clean. You can walk to downtown North Vancouver in 40 minutes. Highly recommend because it’s a beautiful path or you can bike. You can also bike or walk to Capilano Suspension Bridge.
We really enjoyed our stay. The bed and pillows were comfortable. We had our own space but Josh and Alison were there if we needed anything and they were extremely helpful.

Amazing place and people
We had an amazing short stay with Josh and Alison. They were welcoming and made us feel at home and at ease.
The house was amazing and even better was the views from the hot tub.
We made some friends both human and animal in Josh, Allison, Timber the Rottweiller and a few squirrels.
We will be back next year for sure!

5 Star Hotel
Fluffy white towels, white cotton robes and slippers, beach towels for an amazing, therapeutic hot tub/spa, a basket of amenities with lotions, a sewing kit, mouthwash, ect. A wonderful hot shower with aromatherapy bath wash, shampoo and cream rinse. An amazing coffee machine in the main kitchen that brews fantastic coffee to order. Then throw in some kind, hospitable, friendly, and helpful hosts and we think that definitely adds up to 5+ stars!! It’s a perfect location just over the Lions bridge so you’re very close to downtown Vancouver but away from the crowds. A beautiful bike/walk path right across from the house so no neighbors to the front so extra quiet and private. Josh and Alison are the perfect hosts, relaxed and open but respectful of privacy. Josh built a beautiful fire in the living room every evening and he and Alison made us feel welcome to enjoy the warmth and ambiance. Their house is perfect to hop over the bridge to Vancouver and Stanley Park or head up scenic Highway 99 all the way to Whistler. We had a fantastic stay and would love to stay with them again.
This property is in a great location - nice neighbourhood and easy to take public transit to get downtown. The house was very clean and Josh and Allison make you feel right at home.

We enjoyed staying at this property and would rent again. It was very clean, had everything we needed. Allison and Josh were friendly and helpful. We used their kitchen, backyard, and laundry facilities. It was a comfortable place to be.
Alison and Josh were warm, helpful and super kind. The house was kept in great condition, the instructions clear, and they made sure we had a good stay. Would recommend.
