Photos and Description of the Vancouver vacation house rental
House, 3 Bedrooms + Den, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 6)

Vancouver Heights is located in the North-Western corner of Burnaby. From the property, there are fantastic views from Stanley Park and Vancouver harbour in the west to the North Shore Mountains and Indian Arm in the east. It's a 15 minute drive to a number of great spots including the heart of downtown Vancouver, the foot of Grouse, Cypress or Seymour Mountains, and the sandy beaches of Barnet Marine park. This is a great location!

The neighborhood is renowned for its fabulous delicatessens, coffee shops, and restaurants of every ethnicity. Public bus transportation is a 2 minute walk away. There is a marine park right below the property that offers miles of jogging, biking and hiking on trails that extend into Burnaby Mountain to the east, and to the waterfront and city to the west. It's easy to get to the top of Burnaby Mountain, the home of Simon Fraser University, with lots of great recreational opportunities and classes found there. The North Shore Mountains - Grouse, Seymour and Cypress - offer down-hill and cross country skiing, snowboarding, and snowshoeing in the winter, and hiking trails, wildlife reserves, restaurants and picnic areas with stunning views...and so much more. Eileen Daily Leisure Centre has 2 pools, a steam room, exercise classes and weight training facilities and is a 2 minute drive away.

There are 2 parks within a 2 - 5 minute walk offering tennis courts, soccer fields, a children's wading pool and climbing apparatus'. The Pacific National Exhibition (PNE) grounds are a 3 minute drive away and offer skating at the Pacific Coleseum in the winter months, and Playland, a family amusement park thats open from early spring to late summer. There is also a race track there, operating in the summer months, and the annual agricultural and amusement fair for 10 days at the end of August. Close by is the New Brighton beach park and outdoor swimming pool - great for a swim and afternoon picnic....There is so much to explore in this neighbourhood!

About Sean

My family was in the harbor-tour business for many years. We really enjoyed the opportunity to take visitors out from all over the world on cruises of Vancouver harbour, seeing the mountain, ocean and city views from the water. Once again, we can offer visitors the same views - from this property in Vancouver Heights.

Sean purchased this house in 1987
Why Sean chose Vancouver

Aside from the convenience to so many great recreational and cultural venues, the specialness of this property is it's unbelievably great, ever changing, mountain and harbour view. You'll enjoy it too.

Beautiful home with convenient location

Our family had an excellent vacation staying at this wonderful place for a week. This was the perfect place for our family of two grandparents, three adults, and a young toddler. The house was spacious, spotless, very comfortable, and well supplied. We absolutely loved the location of this house, especially the gorgeous views of the mountains and the harbor from the dining room and upstairs bedrooms.

Our family also loved this quiet residential area, good parking spot in front of the house for our rental van, short walking distance to a nearby park, easy access to public transportation, 5 minutes drive to Safe Way, bakeries, fruit markets, cafes and numerous restaurants.

Thank you Wayne for your great suggestions on the restaurants, especially the Italian and Japanese places. It was so relaxing eating late night dinners with delicious take outs from the nearby restaurants, nice and quiet with our baby already in bed upstairs, while enjoying the amazing million dollars view from your dinner room. Thank you Sean for providing the baby gates, the Pack and Play, the high chair, the basket of children books and toys, and especially the three vases of beautiful fresh cut flowers for the welcoming touch. Both of you were so friendly, caring, helpful, and had made us feel so welcomed. It was a truly a home away from home vacation experience. We would highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Vancouver, especially family with children.

The place was fantastic for a three generation family. We enjoyed our time and hope the place is available for our next trip to Vancouver. Sean provided us with a pack and play for our grandson and was teriffic in giving directions etc. The views were spectacular. I have no negatives only positive comments.

This is our first time visiting Vancouver and we truly had a great time. We were so lucky to find this house, which is perfect for our family with small kids and grandparents. Property is clean and spacious, located in a nice and quiet neighborhood. We rent a car and it is convenient to go to attractions.

Sean and Wayne are great hosts. Sean is very responsive and since the house is well equipped, we didn't really need to contact her much.

The view is really good from the family room. To me, it is not about certain things that you can see. After a day's activity and kids going to bed, calmly sit in the room and look through the window - the feeling is deeply written in my memory.

Beautiful Vacation Home

This was our first trip to Vancouver. We searched the internet for a place to stay near the city and the mountains. Wow! We were very blessed to find this home. Clean(#1 priority for my wife), Spacious rooms(our 2 kids had their own bedrooms)...with mountain views!, Kitchen, large dining/living room with huge window overlooking bay and mountains. The back of house had a deck with grill overlooking again the bay and mountains. The front of house we enjoyed the private garden courtyard(very peaceful). The home is in a large neighborhood situated on a bluff overlooking the bay. We walked everyday to the town of Burnaby and enjoyed the many restaurants, bakeries, cafe's and markets. Vancouver and the Mountains are just 15 minutes away. Our most enjoyable experiences were bike riding on Stanley Park and climbing Grouse Mountain.
Also important for us was the owners made you feel like family, very friendly, helpful, available when needed.
Have Fun!

We had a great time in Vancouver. For us, a family with 3 kids plus grandmother and granfather was perfect.They were so welcoming and sincerely care about their "vacationers."The condo was very clean and we were able to check in early. It was near to Safe Way, fast food and restaurants.There is truly nothing negative I can say about this house. Maybe the TV room need a confortable sofa.
thank you for a lovely vacation! we'll be back!

Great Hosts...Convenient Location

My family has had many great experiences renting property through VRBO and this was one of the best. We chose this property because it wasn't in the heart of the city yet was conveniently located to all major transportation routes, plus it has great views of the harbor and mountains. We took public transportation to downtown Vancouver, Stanley Park, Granville Island, and Kitsilano Beach and it was only a 3 block walk to pick up the bus. We also drove to Port Moody, Northern Vancouver, and Whistler and the major auto routes are just a few minutes away. Access to the Trans Canada trail also is just down the hill from this property. The home was very well maintained and you couldn't ask for better hosts than Sean and Wayne. Sean was very quick to respond to any inquiries and very patient in helping us work out the rental dates. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property to anyone wishing to visit the Vancouver area.

Great Location, Lovely property

We had a 5 day stay in Vancouver and as first timers to Vancouver we were not quite sure of what area to stay in and the type of property we had rented.

We needn't have worried, firstly the House was in a great location. We had rented a car which makes everything so much easier but the property was easy to find and perfectly located to either head into town or alternatively all of the many sights that are out of town.

The house itself was ideal, we had 2 adult kids with us so plenty of space, WIFI, BarBQ, and plenty of stuff in the cupboards to make your stay so much more pleasant.

Have I mentioned the views? Breakfast overlooking the mountains and the bay was certainly memorable and the website pictures do not do it justice. At the end of the day, just looking out from the lounge with a drink and planning the next day in Vancouver was amazing.

And finally Sean and Wayne, nothing was too much trouble. Their home has been made perfect for that Vancouver trip, lots of tips on how to find the best places to eat, to shop and of course to visit.

I will certainly be reccommending this house to ANYONE who wants to stay in Vancouver.

The property is easy to find, in a nice residential area of Vancouver with very easy access to Down Town Vancouver and the area in general. The property was spotless, very well equipped and the owners hospitable. In fact, the property exceeded our expectations from the description and photos. The owners seemed to have thought of everything and anticipated any needs we might have. We were a three generational party. There were toys for the little ones and a den with a huge TV and lots of DVDs. The outside eating area is lovely and the views from the main room and upstairs bedrooms absolutely beautiful. We liked everything about Vancouver and spent the days exploring and the house was great to come back to at the end of the day. We would unhesitatingly recommend the property, and if we get to go back to Vancouver, we would stay there again!
