Thank you for your kind words. So glad your family enjoyed. And thank you for treating our home like your own.
The house was just a great place to enjoy Deep Cove. Everything about the house was fantastic. The inside was furnished beautifully and the views from the decks were perfect. Anytime I come up to Vancouver, this is the place I will want to stay.
Everything about the house was outstanding. Super clean, well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and the view was even better than we expected (the list goes). Owners were incredibly responsive and helpful. Would definitely recommend and look forward to coming back.
The location is outstanding. Steps to the waters edge or trail taking you through the park to Main Street. Why even leave with these breath taking views from the living room or both decks. This place was expertly designed with the most critical eye. Every detail was perfect. Thanks for making our vacation next level!!

Beautiful house, views and location!
We stayed 6 days in February for birthday ski week at nearby Grouse Mountain. House was like staying in a magazine feature...Beautiful design and views of the water. We enjoyed walking on the trails to breakfast in the mornings. Would love to come back in the summer for water activities like kayaking and swimming in Deep Cove!
Our family of five stayed for the week. We had a wonderful and relaxing stay. Amazing view from the upper deck.
Peaceful area & friendly town. Loved the sauna in the Master bathroom! House had lots of space and light. We saw some sea lions out in the Cove.

You are welcome back anytime! So glad you enjoyed!
We had the most amazing stay. Our children were occupied in the woods and finding starfish in the cove. We loved the patio for a glass of wine. The host was lovely and responsive. Couldn’t be happier. We’ll be back!

We are so glad the entire family enjoyed! You are welcome to come back!
This home has great views of Deep Cove, a crowded little jewel on the Northshore. The house is well-equipped to make your stay exceptional but you'll want to walk into town to enjoy this quaint little area. My only complaint is that traffic makes getting anywhere difficult but it's worth driving to the great sites located within a few miles even if it takes a bit longer than expected.
We loved our stay in Deep Cove! This beautiful home is spacious, extremely comfortable and well-maintained, and the views out over the water are incredible. Lingering over morning coffee on the deck quickly became a ritual! Karen and Scott are wonderful hosts, eager to be helpful and quickly responsive to any inquiries. The kitchen is well-equipped with high-end appliances and generously stocked with all the basic necessities. Several restaurants, cafes and small shops are a 5 minute walk away along an adjoining trail through the surrounding forest. We couldn't have asked for more!

We are so glad you enjoyed our home and beautiful village of Deep Cove! It was so fantastic you were able to vacation with 3 generations of family!
What a beautiful area - Deep Cove is a treasure! Karen and Scott were the consummate hosts, helpful but unobtrusive. The place is more than imagined - perfectly maintained, well stocked kitchen and the vista speaks for itself.
Though on the east side of Vancouver, we were able to use as base to explore downtown and Whistler area as well as throughout North Vancouver. And a couple if days just spent enjoying the Deep Cover area.
Thanks again Karen and Scott for sharing your place with us. We look forward to a return visit!
This location and our host gave us a start to our family vacation, we will not soon forget! What an absolutely amazing place to stay in Deep Cove. Our kids loved every minute of it, and we found plenty to do in the area with lots of space for the 6 of us to spread out. The kitchen is unreal if you love to cook (and we do), and it's fully stocked with everything you could need to make some amazing meals. Thank you for all the suggested activities, too! Our kids loved sitting on the upper deck around the fire pit for hours and swimming in the cove. Karen made the entire stay smooth from access to departure, and communication was incredibly easy from the moment we booked. Highly recommend this property to anyone, especially families. Oh.... and the steam shower in the master bedroom is unreal!

Trevor we are so happy you and your family enjoyed your vacation in Deep Cove! It is a place of adventure for both kids and adults!
Thanks for your kind words and for taking such good care of our home. Enjoy the summer!
We stayed at this fantastic home for an extended weekend birthday celebration and everything was simply perfect! My mother-in-law was turning 80 so we decided to enjoy Deep Cove together in one house and this was such a great choice. Perfect patio with BBQ and fire pit, lovely view, easy walk into town for all age groups, kayaks to venture out into the water, everything you need for dinners and breakfasts, comfortable beds — honestly it was the perfect place. The hosts were easy to communicate with and respond quickly. We enjoyed every minute and would be thrilled to return!

So glad you had a fabulous family celebration. You are welcome to come back and stay again!
My family and I have visited many vacation rentals, and this is by far the most at home we've ever felt while away. The home itself is very spacious and welcoming, and the sense of privacy you get while there makes it feel like your own oasis in the cove.
Photos provide a great representation of the home, but still do no justice to the view of Deep Cove and surrounding nature. Home (and especially kitchen) are completely decked out, so you will have everything you need and much, much more. Communication before, during and after was fantastic, and Karen does an amazing job of ensuring you know the ins and outs of the home.
We've visited North Van on many occasions. This was our favorite of the bunch and we will certainly look forward to a return visit. Couldn't be happier with our stay!
Perfect location within walking distance of literally everything in Deep Cove.
Thoughtfully laid out property.
Loved the complimentary kayaks( both for convenience and savings)
Steam shower was amazing and thoroughly enjoyed.
Robustly equipped with small and large appliances of good quality and all well functioning / wireless speakers comfortable outdoor furniture/parking onsite
Even loved our black bear friend who visited to check out our garbage cans!
My family spent 12 nights at this property and could not have been more pleased. The house is clean, stocked with anything you could want, and pictures do not come close to doing justice of the view! We would love to come back in the future.
This home is a absolutely stunning! Very comfortable and spacious. Also, the Deep Cove area is a little slice of paradise. Would absolutely love to stay here again.

Born and raised on the North Shore. We love the nature that literally surrounds us; ocean, forests, creek. We are grateful to live here and happy to share our piece of paradise with others who will appreciate it.

What makes this property unique
We live in a village we access through a forest. We can hike 🌲, take in breathtaking views, grab a bite in the village, go for a paddle 🛶 to explore islands and sea life or even catch crab 🦀. All of this from our front or back door. You’ll even have time to go downtown for a world class dining experience, if you can only decide on what restaurant; there are so many! All of this in one day…where else can you do this?
