Photos and Description of the Lions Bay vacation apartment rental

Nestled along the shoreline of Howe Sound, only 25 minutes from downtown Vancouver and 1 hour from Whistler, is the picturesque seaside village of Lions Bay, where this can be your home away from home. Away from the bustling city, yet close enough to enjoy it’s amenities, you’ll experience a West Coast lifestyle where eagles, sea lions and dolphins calls home. (see our 'Youtube' links in the 'other activities' tab below)

Beyond the doors of your private entrance located on the lower level of a new semi-waterfront luxury home, is a 1000 square foot ocean-view guest suite offering a resort-style experience.

With two luxurious queen bedrooms and a pullout single bed our suite will accomodate up to 4 guests in privacy and comfort. With a fully equipped granite galley kitchen, top of the line stainless steel appliances, home theatre, luxury bath, in-suite washer/dryer and fireplace, this 4 star accomodation is the perfect for vacation getaways, long term executive stays or fashion and wedding photo-shoots.

On your private 200 square foot deck, gaze at the 180 degree oceanview as you sip your morning coffee or lounge with a good book. At Lions Bay Beach and Marina you can launch a boat, ocean-kayak, swim or work on your tan. You can play 18 holes at the spectacular Furry Creek Golf and Country Club or ski at Cypress Mountain, both 20 minutes away. For world class skiing, Whistler, home to the 2010 Olympics is an hour away. At nearby Horseshoe Bay, you can join a fishing charter, an eco-ocean tour or rent a boat to discover local islands at your pace. Eateries are plentiful with a dozen restaurants and bars between quaint gift shops. If you're an adventurist, Kelvin Grove Beach is a local haven for scuba diving or you can hike up the famous 'Lions' a pair of 2000 foot high twin peaks overlooking Howe Sound giving Lion's Bay it's namesake. In the evening, fire up the barbeque, uncork a bottle of wine and dine al-fresco on your private deck as cruise ships sail by. After dinner, enjoy a beverage in the gazebo or by the fire-pit and witness a truly stunning sunset followed by an evening soak in your private 8 person hot tub.

Our Retreat

Our stay at Lions Bay was fantastic. When we arrived at our destination the owner was there to greet us and assisted with the luggage. She gave us a tour of our lodging and described the amenities that Lions Bay and area had to offers.
The suite and property were clean and well maintained. The pictures from the advertisement were very accurate.
Private and quiet. Relaxing in the hot tube or sit out in the gazebo you can watch the different boats, ferries and wildlife go by.
We would definitely recommend this property to others.

One of a Kind

I rented the suite for a surprise engagement proposal as well as a "girl's getaway" stay for the fiancée-to-be. The location speaks for itself - it is stunning and breathtaking from every angle (even when it is cloudy and raining). The pictures are not a gimmick, the views definitely deliver that "wow" effect. The guests I invited all unanimously agreed that I "found" a hidden gem.

The yard is beautifully landscaped with a pond and waterfall. The patio is strategically located for a commanding and endless view of Howe Sound. The centrepiece that unites everything together is the gazebo - it is truly an inspirational place to share a romantic moment for a loved one.

The suite itself is spacious and modern. The guests were able to enjoy all the space and socialize. The suite seamlessly provides a feeling of being outdoors while also providing all the technological amenities one needs for entertainment (but seriously, the view will keep you captivated for hours itself).

Liz and Jon are incredibly accommodating and helpful - they will go above and beyond the call! They really care about making sure their guests are happy and feel at home. I was very comfortable asking them for help.

In a nut shell, this place is too good to pass up and it is bar-none one of a kind.

I cannot say how perfect this whole experience was. We felt relaxed by the end of the first day! With perfect hosts how can you not love the perfect place to spend a vacation. If you think the pictures are nice wait until you see it in person. I would like to keep Lions Bay a secret for ourselves.....but that would be selfish.

We stayed from Wednesday to Sunday. The owners are personable and very gracious. The rental is as advertised. The bedrooms have comfortable mattresses with quality linens, the bath and a kitchen are modern with granite / tile and the kitchen has good quality dishes/cutlery/pans etc, all you need if you like to enjoy home cooked meals while away. The colors inside are soft and inviting. We enjoyed sitting on the deck in the morning and saw a pod of dolphins jumping and feeding. The sunsets were glorious. It is just minutes to the ferries and about an hour to Whistler. It's a beautiful spot in a nice community, a great value for the fee.

Amazing Stay, Amazing Hosts

Stayed here on sept 1-3 with my new wife. The hosts where very accommodating as the wedding was ending late. We arrived at about 11pm and they waited for us to arrive and help us with our bags as we where packing for our honeymoon. They even prepared a bottle of wine and a congratulations card for us

The place itself is gorgeous, the furniture in the house is top notch, and the kitchen is well stocked, we had everything we needed. The ocean front view is amazing, and one of the bedrooms allows you to wake up to its beauty.

The only thing that one should consider when staying here, is the sound of a train that comes by, and some bikers. They are pretty noticeable if you are not used to them. I wouldn't take a star off for that at all, as everything else trumps that.

Ultimately the hospitality we were shown was what made the stay enjoyable, really lovely hosts.

We booked the suite as the end of our three week holiday and were not disappointed. The suite is homely, clean and very well equipped. Liz the owner had thought of everything, what ever you wanted it was there ! My only comment, and certainly not a critisim would be that there are four reclining chairs in lounge, but sofa would be nice.
The location is great, easy drive to Whisler, Vancouver, but you feel totally relaxed and the views are amazing.

we eat every morning on the deck area, and we were very sorry to leave.

We would defiantly recommend.

Beautiful Vacation Spot

We really enjoyed our time at the in Lion's Bay. The suite was clean, well stocked and the location was beautiful. Close enough to the city and not too far from the scenic areas. We made it to the city two days (the view's from Grouse Mountain were amazin on the day we were up there) and Whistler was just over an hour to the north. The owner's were very accomodating and made sure we had everything we needed. I would highly recommend this rental to small families and couples looking for a nice getaway.

Lions Bay: Our Home Away from Home

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Jun 16, 2012

My husband, myself and our 2 year old son spent 3 weeks at this property and we enjoyed every minute of it! Jon and Liz are such accomodating hosts, we couldn't be more grateful! Liz greeted us upon our arrival and showed us around, even helped us with our bags from our car! We felt relaxed and right at home as we started our vacation. The suite has everything you could want or need - fresh linens on the beds, enough towels, a great washer/dryer, complete set of dishes/silverware/cups, bakeware, cookware etc. The space was perfect for our family, and throughout our stay we had another adult come visit as well and we all had enough room to get around.
Enjoying the views from the balcony, the living room and the second bedroom was one of our favorite things to do. Sitting in the hot tub after a long day and looking out onto Lion's Bay was unbeatable as well.
While Jon and Liz were never intrusive, we always knew they were just upstairs if we needed anything (Directions to a restaurant, recommendations on where to take our son for the day), and very quickly into our visit we felt like we were staying with friends.
We've already recommended this listing to several of our friends, and we truly believe if you choose to stay here you will NOT be dissapointed!
