West Vancouver Suite

Submitted: June 28, 2012 Stayed: October 2011
Our stay was lovely a bit wet at times but, that is part of the charm of beautiful Vancouver. Gail was a great host very approachable and most accommodating. The only drawback was we needed more time to explore the many wonderful sites Vancouver has to offer. Maybe next time? Hope to visit Gail in her home again.

The house is situated in a lovely position with views over Vancouver harbour in the distance. Gail and her husband made us very welcome with advice on local shops, restaurants and places to go and any queries/requests were answered and acted upon immediately. Their house is very clean and tidy and we soon relaxed and enjoyed our stay there.

Gail and her husband Brian were very generous and gracious hosts. Our apartment exceeded our expectations in every way. The views, the facilities and the provisions were exceptional. They provided us with invaluable local knowledge and were always on hand for information. We didn't have a car but the public transport in the area was reliable and convenient. We hope to return another day.

Our family had the pleasure of staying in Gail's cozy garden level suit with magnificent views of the harbor and the city. Gail was a great host and made sure we were comfortable, and all of our needs were met. She made us feel welcomed and took time to give suggestions of things to do around Vancouver. Overall great experience in a beautiful city! Without a question would stay in Gail's suit again!

2 or 3 Bedroom Luxury Ocean View Garden Level Suit

Submitted: April 16, 2012 Stayed: October 2010
Just came back from my travel to Vancouver. My Stay at Ocean View, Gail’s condo was a fantastic experience. The Condo is big, great water view, very clean, with all necessary amenities [parking, internet, washer/dryer, complete kitchen], and in a very safe neighborhood. Gail was very professional and kind and prompt to our questions and needs if any. My sister and I would highly recommend Gail’s Condo: Ocean View. We had a wonderful time there. Only one problem: Too beautiful to leave!!!

We absolutely loved staying at Gail's home in West Vancouver. It was the perfect location for taking in both city and nature sights. Very close to Capilano Suspension Bridge and Lighthouse Park, and easy highway access to slip back into downtown to enjoy Stanley park and the wonderful restaurants and shops there. Also very close and easy access to start your journey up the Sea to Sky HIghway (which is stunning). The house was the perfect central location for all of our sightseeing. And I can't fail to mention the beauty of the home itself! It sits atop a hill in West Vancouver amidst multi-million dollar homes and has stunning views of the harbor from the back yard. Beautiful trails are right out the back yard gate, and Gail couldn't have been a nicer host. She welcomed us with pastries, juice and some basics in the fridge and provided us with some wonderful suggestions for local food and entertainment. The kitchen is well-stocked with everything you need if you are going to cook at home. There was a washer and dryer available if you need it. There is a large TV in the sitting room for downtime. I highly recommend staying at Gail's for your next trip to Vancouver.

Lovely, comfortable and warm 2 bedroom in a very nice area of Vancouver. Lovely views, quiet and accessible. Gail and her husband were very accommodating to anything we needed but otherwise unobtrusive. I do recommend the property and would have loved to stay longer. If I ever need a place in West Vancouver I would be back in a heart beat. This is perfect for couples and for a small family, great space. We sat in front of the fire and played board games drinking wine many a night!

Met our needs

The community this property is located in is a wonderful, hilly upscale community. It was very quiet and private. The "suite" itself is a 2-3 bedroom unit which is the walkout basement of the owner's home. The property shows well and appears bright and cheery, largely due to the decor. However, it was in need of some re-stocking. There are only 4 coffee mugs and very few spatulas, etc. Appears that this property gets what's about to be tossed out from main house. It would also be nice if there were some spices, etc. There was only salt available. Coffee was supplied, but no sweetener or creamer which I found unusual for a property through homeaway-especially in this type of setting. There is a gps available if you needed it, which was a nice touch (we did not). The owner met us there after arrival and was pleasant and gracious, but we were put off being pressed to pay a $75 cleaning fee. It continued to rub us the wrong way since upon arrival the dishwasher was full and the house was not as clean as the fee would warrant. Not sure what that fee was for. The unit is in need of a very thorough cleaning. Fixtures, windows, picture frames were in need of a scrubbing and hadn't been tended to for some time. As one said, "it's surface clean". Crumbs and broken pieces of styrofoam about the floor indicated to me that only sheets and linens had been changed. Just don't feel that the cleaning fee was justified. Oh shower temp has extreme fluctuations. Be careful. Having said this, the property is very comfortable and in a good location. Far enough, but not to far. We all slept GREAT! Crack the windows and listen to the water running through property.
Owner's Response: I regret that these vacationers had some concerns, but I am grateful that the suite met their standards, and that they enjoyed the setting, the location, and the cheeriness of the suite. With respect to styrofoam crumbs on the floor, the carpet had just been cleaned by a professional carpet cleaner two days prior to their arrival (they were the first ones in after the cleaning), so perhaps the crumbs were from the pieces of styrofoam the carpet cleaner placed underneath the furniture legs after cleaning. As for any items that may be lacking in the kitchen, I am always more than happy to provide any items on the spot that vacationers request. I do appreciate the feedback however, and will be doing a thorough inventory of kitchen items to ensure that there is enough of everything provided. I do have the suite professionally cleaned after every vacationer, and will be doing an additional spring cleaning of windows and picture frames. As for the cleaning fee, the guest understood at the time of booking that there was a cleaning fee involved, as with many vacation rental properties, and was not "pressed" to pay it, but rather than them offering to pay it when they checked in, I did have to request it, at which point they had no issue in providing it.
These vacationers were pleasant people, quiet, and respectful of other people's property. I only wish that they had voiced their concerns to me in person, as I always try to do my best to satisfy my guests' needs.
