What a great stay we had at this beautiful home. The hosts and their warm approach to hospitality were easily the best part of the stay! They were very attentive to our every need, even making trips to stores and ordering Amazon packages throughout our stay to make things more comfortable and usable. The pool was great and we really loved the outdoor wood fireplace in the evenings. Highly recommend.

Thank you so much for your kind review! It was truly a pleasure hosting Pilar’s family. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay and found our property to be even more beautiful in person. It’s wonderful to know that the location, amenities, and spacious rooms made your visit comfortable and enjoyable. Pilar and her family were incredibly respectful and treated our home with the utmost care. Communication was smooth and easy throughout their stay, and they even took the time to clean up to its original state before leaving. They also walked us through what items were left behind for our disposal, which was very helpful for us as it allows us to prepare our house quickly for the next guests. We highly recommend Pilar and her family to any host and would gladly welcome them back anytime. Thank you for being such wonderful guests, and we look forward to your next visit to Vancouver!

A Slice of Paradise Meets Unmatched Hospitality

I truthfully don't know where to start.... From start to finish, this was the most incredible and unforgettable experience which has been 35 years in the making. The pictures just don't do the beauty of this place justice, most places I have stayed did not come close to expectations whereas this Villa exceeded expectations in every way possible. Eric & Kelly are two of the most genuine human beings I have met and catered to our every need from start to finish. This was a bucket list trip for my mother and they made it memorable with their service and the true beauty of their home. I would recommend this as a destination itself within the beauty of Vancouver and I would not stay any place else when I return. Thank you again for the incredible memories and for allowing us to stay in your BEAUTIFUL and WELCOMiNG slice of paradise!

Thank you so much, Josh, for your truly heartwarming review! We’re beyond grateful for your kind words and thrilled that your stay with us was such a memorable experience for both you and your mother. Hosting you both was an absolute pleasure, and we feel lucky to have had the chance to make your mother’s bucket-list trip special. Josh and Dee were truly 5-star guests—the most wonderful and respectful any host could ask for. They took great care of our space, and at check-out, the house was left very clean and tidy—even the beds were properly made. Josh, we’re also so happy to hear that our villa exceeded your expectations, and that you found it to be a comfortable and welcoming slice of paradise. It means the world to us. Thank you again for choosing our home as your home away from home. We’re always here to welcome you back whenever your travels bring you to Vancouver again!

Wonderful Experience

Kelly and Eric are truly wonderful hosts! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the beauty of their home, which provided the perfect backdrop for our stay. Our experience was nothing short of exceptional, and we couldn’t have asked for better hosts. Each morning, we were greeted by the serene view of the pool, which made waking up feel like a little slice of paradise. The ambiance was so inviting that we often found ourselves lingering over breakfast, soaking in the tranquility of our surroundings. One of the highlights of our visit was undoubtedly meeting their adorable five puppies! Their playful energy and affectionate nature added an extra layer of joy to our stay, making it all the more memorable. Kelly and Eric were incredibly communicative throughout our time there, always quick to respond to any questions we had and eager to ensure we were comfortable. Their kindness and attentiveness made us feel genuinely cared for, and we truly felt like royalty in their beautiful space. We cannot recommend them highly enough! This experience has left us with wonderful memories, and we hope to return soon. Thank you, Kelly and Eric, for your hospitality!

Hidden Gem

Fourteen members of my family travelled to Vancouver to visit other family in early August. We were 7 adults and 7 young children and we wanted a large home centrally located with a pool and yard. Well this property ticked all the boxes and more!! Once we entered the gates, we were greeted by the most gorgeous stone home that could easily have been in a movie. We couldn’t wait to see inside and were not disappointed! The kitchen was a chef’s dream and one we all wished we had in our homes! The bedrooms were equally amazing with beautiful soaker tubs. The large pool and the beautifully landscaped grounds provided both the adults and children so much outside enjoyment. There was even a separate guest house which was equally lovely. We were extremely comfortable here for our 3 nights and would stay there again and also highly recommend it for a large group such as ours or a smaller one too. The only thing I should note is that the lovely owners Kelly and Eric are on property but in a separate suite . I was a bit taken aback when we found this out at check in but they assured us we would only see them if we needed something. Well that was absolutely true but they were so sweet to let our little girls play with their adorable chihuahuas. I’m pretty sure if you asked those girls what their favourite part of the trip was, they would say the puppies! It was really hard for us to leave this absolute paradise!!
