Here is what some of our guests have to say...: Great Find!

'We visited Vancouver for four days with our two sons, aged one and four, and wanted a comfortable place in a great neighbourhood. The Avalon Guest Suite was perfect. The apartment is comfortable and clean, and the location is great. It is located on a charming, tree-lined street with a short walk from the shops on Broadway.' ~DA

'Loved this bright, beautifully decorated suite. It's in a great safe neighbourhood, within walking distance to everything you would ever need...and more. We were there in October and the maple trees were turning their gorgeous colours.

The suite is very well equipped for preparing your own meals. Grocery stores are close by. You don't really need a car.

Thanks to the O'Dwyer family for a lovely stay. We will be back next year...' ~HappyTrails

Our neighbourhood....: Kitsilano, colloquially knows as “Kits” is one of Vancouver’s premiere Neighbourhoods and is located on the city’s west side. It is bordered to the North by two beaches, Kitsilano and Jericho beach and is home to two distinct commercial areas. The first located along Broadway between Larch and Blenheim streets, only steps from Avalon Guest Suite, while the other is along 4th Ave between Balsam and Burrard streets.

Kitsilano is a great neighbourhood to explore on foot, with its many wonderful shops and restaurants as well as parks and beaches.

Excellent place to stay

5 of 5
Submitted: September 12, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
We had an excellent stay at the Avalon Guest Suite and Coach House. The houses were very nicely furnished and decorated to provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Julia and her family were all very nice and very accommodating during our stay. Prices were also very reasonable and I was very glad we stayed here rather than at some 4-star hotel downtown which would have been slightly more expensive. I'd say this place is better than a lot of 4-star hotels I stay at.

This house is also located very close to Broadway street which provides easy walking access to many restaurants and coffee shops located along the street. There's also a Safeway about 10 mins (walking) away where you can get groceries if you are preparing a quick meal. The beach is a little bit further, but you can walk there in about 20 mins, which goes by fast, especially if you are exploring Vancouver for your first.

The house also provides free WiFi, plenty of cups, plates, utensils, etc. They even leave some basic spices in the cabinets for cooking. There's also a small charcoal you can use if you want to BBQ. Beds were very comfortable and bathroom linens were plentiful top notch as well.

Parking, if you need it, is also easily available. They keep a single spot in the back of the house and there seemed to be plenty of parking on the side street as well. Although, with its close proximity to a main street, you really don't need a car. You can also take the bus from Broadway into downtown. If you are taking a cab, expect around $15-$20 to get into downtown.

If I had to nitpick, it would be that since the Guest Suite is located under the main house, so you can hear footsteps during the day. If you plan on spending your vacation indoors (which you shouldn't), I would recommend getting the Coach House for a little more seclusion.

Bottom line: great place, great people, great price.

Thank you for having us!

The perfect family choice!

Submitted: December 28, 2011 Stayed: December 2011
The avalon Guest Suite certainly deserves its positive reviews. My husband and I recently stayed for 6 nights with our two young children (age 2.5 years, and age 6 months). It was perfect for our stay and I'd highly recommend it for anyone looking for family friendly accommodation in a great Vancouver neighborhood. Arriving after a long flight, we were delighted to find that the owner (a lovely lady named Julia) had left a delicious apple & cinnamon cake for us to enjoy, along with some beautiful flowers, a huge bowl of fresh fruit, and tea, coffee and hot chocolate supplies. Our two year old was also delighted to find a fantastic selection of toys and books, which helped her to immediately feel at home. There was also a highchair and travel cot provided for our baby. The suite was spacious, spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated/maintained. New carpets had just been fitted prior to our stay. It had a well-equipped kitchen, although we often chose to eat at some of the lovely restaurants just a short walk away. We were also pleased to find the suite had wifi, cable TV and iphone docking stations. The location was fantastic. The accommodation is a self-contained suite with secure and private access, on the ground floor level of the owners' house. It is on a lovely and peaceful tree-lined street of Kitsilano. We had initially considered renting a car for the week, but were glad we didn't as the suite was in walking distance of lots of shops, supermarkets, coffee shops and restaurants on W Broadway and W 4th avenue. There was also a bus stop nearby on MacDonald St, for trips to downtown Vancouver. From our initial enquiries, the owner Julia was always friendly and very helpful, responding quickly to emails and going out of her way to ensure we felt at home - even offering to provide a fresh supply of toys part way through our stay to keep our daughter happy! I'd certainly hope to stay here again if I return to Vancouver.

Best home away from home ever!

Submitted: December 28, 2011 Stayed: December 2011
I stayed in the eco-friendly coach house for four nights with my daughter who is studying at UBC and we felt so at home. It is such a beautiful house, with everything you need, included a well equiped kitchen. And so nicely decorated, with luxurious amenities like a dockingstation for music and a flatscreen TV. It also has a private entrance and terrace and a lovely jacuzzi bath. We hardly left the house, it was so cozy! Thanks Julia and Family, we will come again.
