Photos and Description of the Vancouver vacation house rental
House, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 7-10)

This restored, charming and intimate Victorian home is the owners’ winter residence and is ideal if you want to stay away from commercial properties. The residence occupies about 2000 sq ft of the main and second floor of a four storey Victorian house, and is available from May to October. It can accommodate a small group or up to nine guests, but you will be charged only for the number of bedrooms you use and the number of guests in your party and will have the exclusive use of the residence.

The house is located off Broadway and Clark, in a very quiet and tidy homeowner occupied neighbourhood.

Centrally located, this residence is two short blocks away from Broadway, a main artery that allows easy connection to UBC University, the beaches and the downtown area on one side and Commercial Avenue, with its famous café and restaurants, on the other side.

It is two blocks away from Clark, your fastest connection to the airport and to Freeway 99 to Seattle; one block away from 12th Ave, the direct connection to Trans-Canada Highway 1.

The residence retains its original stained glass windows and is furnished with antiques and family heirlooms.

You will relax in the evening breeze on the deck, ready for a candlelight dinner or for a fun barbeque and will enjoy a lovely view of the city and the mountains from the master bedroom and bathroom.

Custom-made beds, two-hundred-counts 100% cotton linen and custom made mattresses will insure you the best comfort while you sleep.

The professional kitchen features custom made cabinets, marble counter top, professional gas stove, fridge, dishwasher, upright freezer, microwave, all the utensils.

In one of the bathrooms you will soak in bubbles floating in the original bear-claw-foot tub.

About The Owner

We are two architects, originally from Italy, where we return every year. This is our winter residence in Canada.

When we saw this house, twelve years ago, we knew we had found the right home for us.

The Owner purchased this house in 1998
Why The Owner chose Vancouver

The quiet neighbour, the balanced location between two main commercial arteries — Main St and Commercial St — the easy accessibility to downtown, UBC, the beaches, the airport have made this location a perfect choice for us.

What makes this house unique

In addition to that, our home had to be flexible, organized, comfortable, and had to have the beauty and warmth of an historical building.

Large Group - Could not be happier!

Submitted: May 16, 2012 Stayed: June 2011
This was the most charming house full or personality and character! We had 7 girls and 2 adults. We had plenty of room for sleeping, showering, making and eating food and gathering in the living room. There is art everywhere - adorable, quirky handmade items everywhere you look. We made a scavenger hunt out of it all one day to see if the girls could tell us which room had what in it.

The dining room table was big enough for our whole group and the kitchen was perfect for what we needed. We used the washing machine and dryer one day and even the grill out back. I loved sitting in the red chairs with my morning coffee. The little "secret garden" as we called it was so peaceful.

We had no parking issues at all. We utilized front street parking as well as the alleyway out back. The neighbors are quiet and friendly. The owners are so kind and return emails promptly. The manager who met us at the house the first and last days was very friendly and helpful.

From the house we visited Whistler to go zip lining, Richmond to go killer whale watching, Jericho Beach to go kayaking and we went to a chocolate buffet for dinner one night.

I would not hesitate to go back here again. I highly recommend it for all ages.

A pleasant and wonderful place to stay in Vancouver, close to the city and surrounding area. The accommodation is excellent. The house itself is a veritable treasure house of paintings, pictures and works of art and it was a privilege to be allowed to stay here. Mel, the manager, helped us to arrive safely and settle in comfortably after a long drive from Penticton. He was always ready to advise and help and eased our eventual departure. we very much like to be able to return here some time in the future. Sincere thanks.

Hi. Just a few words to thank you for the use of your wonderful house. Everything we could possibly need was at our finger tips. We used the house for our base touring many places in Vancouver and its surrounds..
Two days in Whistler were unforgettable as was the train trip back to Vancouver. My 16 year old grandson and myself have just returned from "walking Grouse Grind". He has recovered but I am not sure if I ever will. What a climb. The ladies have found the shopping second to none and have spent many happy hours investigating most of them. Once again thanks for the use of your wonderful "house". And we would have no hesitation in recommending it to other travellers.

Dear Sammarco Family,
Many thanks. It was really a pleasant quiet place with enough for all five of us to enjoy the long waited family reunion. This home has helped us create precious memory which we will all keep within our hearts and share across the Pacific Ocean (Japan-Canada).
