Kevin was very welcoming, communicative, and helpful! His home is very cozy and a nice option for those who want a cozier and more of a “home away from home” feel to their getaways.

Jo was a wonderful guest. We would love to have her stay with us again!
We stayed in Vancouver over the weekend. Kevin's communication was excellent throughout-from pre check in to check out. Check in was easy and the house fit our needs. it was clean and met our needs. Having three bedrooms was a plus and the price was right.

We are extremely disappointed by this review, as it does not accurately reflect what occurred during this stay and contains numerous incorrect statements.
Our home was professionally cleaned and fully prepared prior to arrival. We have time-stamped photos documenting the condition of the property immediately before check-in. As a courtesy, we also stocked the kitchen with food items and left flowers and chocolates to welcome the guests — a gesture many previous guests have sincerely appreciated.
During this stay, there were multiple violations of our clearly stated house rules, including:
• Exceeding the number of registered guests
• Hosting a party (strictly prohibited)
• Smoking inside and directly outside the property (non-smoking home)
• Bringing multiple pets without approval
• Leaving the property in an excessively unclean condition
• Making unauthorized in-game purchases on our PlayStation
• Removing items from the home
We reached out shortly after check-in to ensure everything was satisfactory and did not receive a response. We were later contacted through customer service after a refund request was submitted.
To clarify several claims made in the review:
• This is our personal home that we share as a short-term rental, which is clearly disclosed in the listing. Preventative pest control measures are standard practice in any well-maintained property and do not indicate an issue.
• The kitchen and storage areas are stocked for guest convenience. Items are neatly organized and available for optional use.
• The yard, BBQ, appliances, and furnishings were clean and functional prior to arrival (documented), keeping in mind this was a winter stay.
• The beds and layout are accurately represented in the listing photos and description.
VRBO reviewed the information from both parties. While they issued a one-night courtesy refund, this was a discretionary customer service decision and not a determination of fault.
We take pride in maintaining a clean, welcoming home and in providing good value to our guests. We are grateful that the many guests before and after this stay have expressed satisfaction with the property and their experience.
We remain committed to transparency, fairness, and upholding our house rules to protect both our home and the experience of future guests.
We wish you the best in your future travels

Not the stay we were hoping for
This property is owner occupied when not listed. There were tons of personal articles, cultural elements and smells in the unit. While the owner was very nice, it was very difficult to unpack ourselves and relax in the space.

The house is Not owner occupied! There is a separate private studio office suite on the ground floor. The large house has 2 separate entrances that. No one else besides the guests were ever there the entire time this guest was there. This is not an accurate review. The house is very clean also! With pictures as is!

Property description misleading
Although the home was in a great location and the owner was accommodating, the home did not meet the standards that one expects from a VRBO property.
Rather than being a "gorgeous brand new home", it was cluttered with the owner's possessions and in need of a deep cleaning.The carpet was extremely dirty and not "plush". The kitchen can not be described as gourmet. Dishes were chipped, the garbage can dented, pots and pans thrown into a lazy susan.
Closets and cabinets were filled with the owner's possessions and sheets and towels were questionably clean. The home was dusty and musty. Sadly we can not recommend this property

All the sheets and towels were and always are clean prior to every guest's arrival and were in this case as well. There was and is always plenty of room in all the closets and cabinets for all the guests things 100%.
We left within half an hour of arriving. Several aspects were misrepresented in the description and during my communication with the owner. I specifically asked about if there was another suite and he said yes, but that it was only used as an office occasionally so we would have the place to ourselves. Two days prior to check in I was advised that there would be someone in the suite (and clarified that this meant overnight, not just as an office) for a few nights. it became clear by the time we arrived that the suite was actually lived in by him and his family, and their personal belongings were filling most of the space in the closets and dressers, including what appeared to be dirty laundry. The beds were made, but not very neatly which made us question whether the sheets were clean given the state of the space and all the personal belongings. When I questioned more about his confusing entrance instructions, I thought that we had our own entrance. However, upon arrival, it became clear that whoever accesses the basement suite (which he revealed to be him and his family the day before check-in) they had to go through our entrance and the into their own private entrance, which we did NOT have. Also a shared bathroom!? at the entrance. Not a secure or comfortable place for our family. Not cleaned very well. The owner refused to given us any refund so we are pursuing this with VRBO. I expected to rent a space owned by someone else, but not lived in by someone else.

This is absolutely Not an accurate review at all! And a total misrepresentation!The Entire house is 100% for the guests staying at the listing! There is no one else in the home at all at any time! Guests also have their own private entrance! Also all bathrooms are private to just the guests! And the homes is professionally cleaned after and before each guests stays! Unfortunately the guest misunderstood many things about our home! But what then mentioned is Not the case for sure!

Honest review.
Kevin is friendly and accommodating. He allowed earlier check-in, was good about being in contact.
There are nice parks in the area, but the description is a bit misleading. It is not “on the drive” it is a 20-30 minute walk.
House is not “newly renovated” parts of the house were renovated, but it seems like that was a few years ago.
The yard was used for storing tires, had an old Xmas tree still in the stand and cabinets that partially block the front gate. Kevin did come and set up the garden furniture, but still not as pictured.
The yard has a gate with the neighbours behind who go through to take out recycling/ garbage. Not a big deal, but I specifically asked if it was private. He should have mentioned the adjoining gate, again not a big deal, but did surprised me and the dog twice when someone came through.
The house is very much lived in when not listed on vrbo. This is an adjustment if you are used to vacation rentals that are specifically set up for rentals. Limited space in bathroom/ bedrooms and kitchen to store things. Not a big deal for short stays, but we were there for over two weeks. He did come over later and pick up a bunch of items from fridge/freezer & there was a dresser in main bedroom that was cleared out, some storage in 2nd bedroom. No storage in 3 rd bedroom or bathrooms, only one shelf in kitchen.
The house is not sparking clean, more a “lived in clean”.
Better cleaners and more transparency in the listing would benefit all!

The yard was not set up from the winter. But we quickly came over and set it up for the guests. The house has been renovated and the kitchen is exactly has is in the pictures. The entire house is Professionally cleaned before and after the sch guest stay! There is plenty of closet and draw space in each bedroom for guests to store all there items!
We were booked in for 7 days and checked out the day we arrived. We moved to a hotel for a few nights then found an alternative vrbo to rent.
We put in a complaint with vrbo and they have tried to get in touch with the host. The host hasn't responded to them, and hasn't wanted to discuss the option of a partial refund.
Reasons for the 1 out of 5 rating:
The kitchen with filthy. Food smears on counter. Dish clothes were stained & musty smelling. All three wooden cutting boards had black mould spores on them. Cupboard door pulls, fridge and stove knobs were all covered in dried food. Fridge wasn't clean inside. All of the kitchen glasses were stained and had food stuck to them.
Upstairs bathroom garbage can full with used feminine hygiene products in the can. Towels were old and musty smelling. Long hairs all over the toilet and sink.
Dining room had ketchup stains on the table and after we moved the placemats, there were layers of bread crumbs underneath.
The place was cluttered with personal belongings and photos and unkept.
I knew there was a basement suite attached to our unit, but the host had to enter through our unit to get to his. We felt very uncomfortable about this arrangement. This was NOT a private, secured entrance as per vrbo's policy.
We addressed these concerns immediately with the host. He said we were too picky and that we would never hear him enter and leave through our unit. He offered to bring in a cleaning lady - after we had checked out.

The guest checked in with animal pets without notification, had a party in our home without our consent, and then made a mess and left without cleaning up and tried to blame it on us! I contacted her immediately and responded right away to her and VRBO to remedy the situation but she refused to respond or cooperate. The house was 100% professionally cleaned prior to the guest's arrival and there was no one at all in the entire house 100% of the time during their stay and has 100% private and secure entrances and exits. They had the whole house to themselves the enitre stay. We were in constant communication with the guest but she refused to respond. This guest's assertions are misleading and misinformation and is false. She was a very rude guest and would not recommend anyone allowing her to book there place.
