** We have done an interior furnishing upgrade. Highlighted changes: new king bed in master, new art work, some new décor/furnishings**
Welcome to our home! This **GUEST SUITE** is a spacious 2 BR/1Bath suite is located in West Vancouver, a short drive away from the downtown core, best of the North shore and close to ferry terminal, beaches, and snow hills. There are two bedrooms, one with a king bed and the other with a queen bed, as well as a sofa bed in the living space. Additional rollaway bed & floor mattress available on request as well as a Pac n' Play. Bedrooms have black out curtains for those who like a late sleep in!
Most comfortable for groups of 4-6 guests. 6+ will be a bit tight so please do read the listing and ask questions if you are a bigger group! There is 1 large bathroom with shower/bathtub.
** Two important things to note! Hosts live upstairs but give complete privacy. The suite has private entrance and we give privacy when using the pool/backyard. We also have added a puppy to our family, Nova, a Portuguese Water Dog. She is very adorable, about 40 lbs. full grown and hypoallergenic. She does not go into the suite, but you may see her outside during your stay or possibly hear her if she gets excited! If dogs bother you please do not book here :). **

☆☆☆PLEASE NOTE☆☆☆
October - April Guests:
At this time the pool is too cold to use! **We offer the hot tub at a fee of $30 per night to offset our own costs** and **heating the pool will not be possible in the winter/spring**. The rates for fall/winter reflect this!! Exception: Christmas & New Years, complimentary hot tub heating for the holiday season!
In times of rain, patio cushions will be stored in the pool shed for guest access when needed. We will be setting up a separate covered patio during these months to enjoy morning coffee with heat lamps outside the suite in late October 2018.
May - September Guests:
Hot tub heating is complimentary in these months and pool stays warm by the sun :). Still a bit cold for the pool in May, depending on Vancouver weather.
Backyard is set up at all times except on the occasional rainy day where we store in the pool shed temporarily.
Check-in is 3pm and Check-out at 11am to allow enough time for cleaners to turn over the space for the next group. We are happy to store bags before or after check-out times for those with early/late travel plans.
☆Important Space Details☆
- The space is majority windows and gets a lot of natural light (and nice view of the pool!). Bedrooms have black out blinds.
- Pool is not separately gated so for guests with younger kids we require an adult to be outside with them at all times
- Although we are upstairs, the floor is insulated so you will very minimally hear any foot traffic
Guest access
The suite itself is all yours. The backyard and all the amenities (including BBQ, fire pits, hammock, etc.) are of course yours to use as well, but shared space with us, your hosts. That being said we believe in giving you your privacy so you’ll feel like you’re the only ones there!
☆PLEASE NOTE☆: October - May: Vancouver weather tends to not always be ideal for pool and patio use. During this time we store the patio furniture in the pool shed for easy access for guest set up on nice days! We have an undercover private patio space we set up for guests during this time outside the suite with heat lamps. If raining, we are happy to share our BBQ upstairs which is covered for guest use as well :)
Interaction with guests
I live in the main house (above), but you will hardly see me as I work in the city during the day and typically long hours.
Other things to note
- This is not a party pad! No parties or events, please. We are in a residential neighborhood & don't want to disturb our neighbors
- Backyard is shared space with your hosts!
- Local guests, please make sure you review house rules and let us know the reason of your visit.
- No AC but each space has a fan and the space itself is cool with the trees surrounding the property. All the French doors open to allow for air flow as well. We do have heating & bathroom floor heating as well.
- Absolutely no underage partying or drinking permitted, please don't ask, the answer will be no!
- As we live surrounded by trees on occasion you may see some animals on the property during your stay - anything from birds, squirrels and other wood animals
