About Teri Dale

My husband and I are long time residents of North Vancouver, and we have traveled around the world extensively. From all our travel experience we feel fortunate to live in North Vancouver where nature is still just outside our door. My passion is hiking and exploring the trails just outside the front door still excites me. My husband likes to think of himself as 'Mr Green Jeans' as he tries to keep up a 1/2 acre park of flowers and grassy lawns.

Teri Dale purchased this house in 2006
Why Teri Dale chose North Vancouver

It was an impulsive moment when we purchased our home because for 2 people, this house is just too big. 5400 square feet on 3 levels just seemed silly for 2 people to live in! The moment I saw it from the street I knew I had to buy it and we put in an offer right away. As the city grows bigger and more and more highrises appear, we return to our paradise nestled in the forest where nature and tranquility greets us. The best part is the ideal location where everything is convenient--just minutes from shopping, highway and lots of restaurants, pubs and entertainment. Since we bought this Piece of Paradise, I have never found another property for sale that compares to this one. Due to its enormous size, we have designed this HOME WITHIN A HOME for others to enjoy the way we do.

What makes this house unique

I love the way this home is designed because 2 separate families can live here without 'feeling' the presence of the other. There is a separate entrance to the rental and 'lives like a house' with spacious rooms and privacy from the rest of the travelers if you prefer. There are separate heating that controls the radiant heating from the wooden floors. The best feature is the huge Master Bedroom where you can separate yourself from the other travelers, watch your own TV programs from this room and have your own bathroom. The other 2 bedrooms are spacious and are situated next to the large, newly renovated bathroom with shower/tub enclosure. There is also a family room, a separate living room, ample storage and a laundry room for your exclusive use. Perfect space for a long term stay!

A Lifesaver for Visiting Family!!

5 of 5
Submitted: April 28, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
This month, my sister & her husband were coming out to visit us with their twin toddlers & pre-schooler from Ontario. I checked out VRBO for accomodations since our house was too small to even consider putting them up comfortably. After visiting this place, "A Home Within A Home", I knew it was perfect and urged my sister to book it (betwn. April 5-19/13). I loved the fact that its location was not only close to us but it had all the amenities nearby that her family of 5 could enjoy. The house sits on a hillside, in a beautiful neighbourhood of magnificent homes, with the forest literally at your doorstep. The kids were able to enjoy the manicured yard, right outside the door of the suite and the spacious interior was wonderfully laid out so that the kids were not always underfoot. I was pleased to see that everything was immaculately clean and all the bedding looked extravagent and freshly washed. Everything in the suite seemed new or very well-kept up and my sister enjoyed cooking in the well-stocked kitchen. The kids favourite part of the trip was discovering that there was a great park, with an enclosed playground, only 2 mins. away. My sister and her family were really impressed with this rental and all of its outstanding features. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it for visitors or for someone like me, who hasn't the room to cater to all her company!
Owner's Response: I am happy that your family enjoyed our vacation rental. I was especially impressed how well behaved the children were! I am so pleased the vacation went well and I hope to see everyone again in the very near future!!!

Lovely landing for Expat parents!

Our family 's recent Christmas holiday reunion was comfortable in all ways in this lovely, well located apartment. The master suite was exceptional, with superb storage and room for luggage ... Extremely nice king bed, and high quality linens, helped us overcome jet lag from long overseas journey. We appreciated the abundant well - chosen lighting in all rooms, as well as the French doors adding a further daytime brightness and sense of spaciousness. Excellent appliances and many fresh stylish additions by thoughtful owners, who were attentive to many details that made us feel personally welcome. Six adults were all pleased. I can well imagine how the large private garden would enhance a stay during warmer months as well. The housekeeping was immaculate. Happy to recommend, based on ambience, maintenance, comfort, style and location on the North Shore. Even our forays into core Vancouver downtown were quite efficiently accomplished with option to drive or take sea bus.

Owner's Response: Mary, it was a pleasure having you and your wonderful family stay here over Christmas. I thoroughly enjoyed chatting with you and your husband over tea and goodies that afternoon. I learned so many fascinating things about your life abroad! I am so impressed with your daughter, Lauren, who came over early to set up the Christmas tree and purchase so many thoughtful things for everyone. I hope to see you again! Teri

Amazing Experience in This Gorgeous Home!

The photos do not do justice to this home! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this spacious, luxurious home! The hospitality,comfort, privacy, new amenities and upscale surroundings surpassed our expectations!
The location was absolutely perfect for us as it was not only quiet, private and close to trails that we hiked on a daily basis, but it was only a short drive to some fabulous restaurants, shopping, and tourist attractions!
We can not say enough about our incredible holiday and surroundings...suffice it to say that we will be returning in the near future for a repeat performance!
Recommended for:  Age 55+, Adventure Seekers, Girls Getaway, Sightseeing, Romantic Getaway
Owner's Response: It was a pleasure to meet you and your husband! I am so happy you enjoyed your stay and thank you for leaving the place immaculate! I agree that the trails are amazing even if it is raining. I hope to see you again in the near future and thank you for taking the time to write this review.
