Our family of 5 with children aged 10,12,14 stayed here in Jan 2012. Laura checked in on our arrival to make sure all was well. The view is spectacularly panoramic. The apartment is fantastically located to all amenities and has absolutely everything in the apartment that a family could need. Nice touch having the basic staples in the kitchen on arrival even though supermarket is 30 seconds away. We will definitely come back to stay on our next visit to Whistler, nothing to fault.

Whistler stay

Date of Stay: 05/05/11 Review Submitted: 05/12/11

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our short stay at this property! The owners were very responsive to our inquiries and provided very clear information on how to get to the condo, etc. Laura even called us to make sure we had arrived ok and everything was to our liking. We haven't met, but she seems to be a lovely person just from our e-mail and phone conversations. The condo is comfortable, clean and beautifully decorated. The 2 balconies are nice to sit on to get a birdseye view of the village below. It is conveniently located making it easy to get around town. All the conveniences of home were available in the condo which made for a very relaxing weekend. We would definitely stay here again and bring another couple with us to enjoy it as 4 adults would comfortably fit in this 2 bedroom/2 bath condo. As the weather wasn't the best we decided to check out the Scandinave Spa. What a relaxing experience so close by and in such a picturesque setting. Worth checking out if you have sore muscles or just need to really relax! We also had dinner one evening at Rim Rock which had excellent service and food.

Spacious, luxurious, inviting and comfortable condo in great location

Guest: Samantha (Brisbane, Queensland, Australia)
Date of Stay: 02/27/11 Review Submitted: 04/06/11

We couldn't have been happier with our accommodation in Whistler. The condo had been recently renovated and so we were blown away by how beautiful and luxurious the condo was. It instantly felt warm and inviting, a place we were happy to call home for our 2 week stay. We thought the location was great. Close enough to walk to the lifts and the busier parts of Whistler Village, but ideally positioned to be quiet and away from night time noise. Not to mention the great views - it was lovely to lay in bed and see the snow covered mountains outside our window and to have great views on all sides, a benefit of being located on the corner of the building. The beds were really comfortable, the furnishings really tasteful and plenty of room for our family (3 adults and 2 children under 3). It was also handy being so close to the library and playground (to keep the children entertained). The pool and spa facilities in the complex are adequate (but no views). That didn't bother us because we didn't spend much time there anyway. Supermarket a short walk away (also very handy). And to top it all off, fantastic hosts that are warm and friendly and very accessible (just a phone call away). When we return to Whistler, we will definitely be staying here again. Highly recommend the property to other families looking for a comfortable and high quality 2 bedroom condo.

"Home Sweet Home" is how I'd describe this great find. Everything you would possibly need is available in this vacation rental. Furnishings, decor, movies, cd's, books, kitchen needs and much more. The location of the condo within the village is accessable to many events, activities and stores. Everything is within walking distance. As a matter of fact, we never needed to use our vehicle once we parked it in the underground heated garage. We have stayed at numerous VRBO's over the years and have yet to be disappointed. Our hosts: Joseph and Laura provided answers to my numerous questions I had prior to arriving. We appreciated their quick responses and concerns that our vacation be everything we hoped it to be. We look forward to a visit in the future. Thank you both for everything!!

Cool Whistler Condo

Guest: zingman (Edmonds, WA)
Date of Stay: 11/25/10 Review Submitted: 12/01/10

We stayed in this unit for 3 nights over Thanksgiving weekend. It was a great experience. The instructions for getting into the parking garage and unit where spot on. The owners checked in on us a couple hours after check-in which was a nice touch. The unit is right above the Olympic rings which is way cool. Although there is a constant stream of pictures being taken and you can see the flashes at night it was not a bother. It snowed most of the weekend and you look straight up at Blackcomb from the unit. There were 2 adults and 3 teenagers in our group and it was plenty big enough. The kitchen was well appointed and was stocked with most spices you would need. There was no baking sheet but we were able to improvise and the owner said he would stock one in the unit after we emailed him. The unit was at the end of the hall so there was a fairly long walk from the stairs/elevator but a small price to pay to have that view. It was right above 2 coffee shops(Starbucks and Blenz) and you could get to them with just a few steps outside if you crossed into the 2nd Tyndall Lodge building. The pool was very small but heated which was great fot the kids. The adults enjoyed the hot tub with the temperature in the low 20's and teens. The marketplace IGA was an easy walk with groceries. It is about a 10 minutes walk to the lifts. Would definately rent this unit again. It would be awesome in the summer

Amazing Condo-Comfort & Beautiful Views in the Heart of Whistler

Guest: Linda (San Mateo Co., California)
Date of Stay: 07/18/10 Review Submitted: 08/04/10

Joseph & Laura, We spent 2 wonderful weeks at your condo and were so sad to leave. In addition to amazing views of Whistler and/or Blackcomb mountain from every window and from the balconies, we enjoyed excellent people-watching, as well. While in the quieter side of the village, we were still in the center of everything Whistler has to offer. We truly felt that we were 'at home' because you anticipated our every need, even providing a computer, CD's and DVD's for our use! I will miss our evenings sipping wine on the balcony. We were fortunate to have friends visiting Whistler while we were staying at your place and the spacious, beautiful condo was perfect for entertaining and impressing our guests. They hated to leave the balconies, also. We will definitely return to your condo, it was the best stay ever in our four years of coming to Whistler. We were so pleased from the moment we entered until we left two weeks later. Thank you for sharing, we left Whistler very happy because we stayed at your home away from home.

If your worried that you might forget to bring something believe me you won't have to worry here as this place is fully equiped not to mention how clean it was. It is definitly a place I know I will be wanting to book again. Enjoy and make the memories come alive with this beautiful Condo

Graduation Vacation

Guest: So Cal Visitors (Anaheim, CA)
Date of Stay: 06/23/10 Review Submitted: 08/25/10

My twins graduated from high school and decided to make BC their vacation spot for their graduation trip. We stayed all over BC, but our stay at this condo in Whistler was by far their favorite spot and all they could talk about when we returned. The location was perfect, the views gorgeous (we loved the two balconies) and the condo itself was everything as described and more. It was very clean and the pictures don't do it justice. The hosts of the condo were very easy to work with and very accommodating. Our two oldest didn't join us this trip and they were very jealous to hear about our stay. We've decided to return to Whistler only this time we'll try the winter and this condo will be our first choice!!!

This is a really beautiful condo. It was very comfortable, extremely well stocked (kitchen and elsewhere), close to shopping, restaurants, hiking areas, golfing. We very much enjoyed staying here and would highly recommend it to others.

Consistently meets our expectations, best accommodations in Whistler We are repeat visitors to this condo and would highly recommend to others. Great location in the heart of the village close to shopping, restaurants and of course skiing. Separated bedrooms provide maximum privacy and very spacious layout makes for a great stay. Easy check in and check out. We have stayed at other owner rentals and find Laura and Joseph's condo to be comparable to the higher end hotels in Whistler, but of course, much more affordable. This is our second stay with them and will be returning in the future.

"Very comfortable stay" Great location and we really enjoyed staying at this place. The place was well furnished and well stocked - it felt like going home at the end of the day versus a hotel room. The view from the patio and the proximity to grocery store, lifts, trails is awesome. Great accomodation for a family of 6. Thanks!!

"Perfect Whistler Village Get-away!" For our 5-day school break in November, I looked on for a place to stay up at Whistler with the kids. I found a great looking condo in the heart of the village and contacted the owners. Their initial and subsequent replies to my emails were very prompt and detailed. They were very accommodating to my schedule, allowing us to get into the condo a bit earlier and check-out a bit later. They were very friendly and helpful. Their condo was wonderful! Amazing view, perfect size for us, warm, cozy and with all amenities we required. We took many walks right from the condo which the kids really enjoyed. The playground is now refurbished and re-opened and very close-by. Having a computer with wireless internet was convenient and handy. I also appreciated their stereo so we could play CDs and stories that we brought with us. A close walk to the grocery store, as well. We had a fabulous stay and would not hesitate to go back to this condo in future - in fact, we will make a definite plan to go again this year. The only thing that was a disappointment was the pool - very small and not in a great location and without much space to sit around. However, I wasn't expecting much so it wasn't a huge disappointment. It would be great if these condos had a nice pool to compliment them, though. All in all, HIGHLY recommend!

"The Best Spot in Whistler" We stayed here in late October for my boyfriend's 30th birthday and we were all blown away at how perfect of spot it was. We (5 of us) were probably the only people in Whistler who came just to hang around the condo to relax for a few days and thankfully, the condo did not disappoint. The views from the windows and balconies were breathtaking and the condo is right above the pedestrian streets of Whistler Village. Everything we wanted was in walking distance and the condo had everything we needed to sustain ourselves for a few days. We had an amazing time and it was definitely because the Condo was so great. I highly recommend it!

"Low Key Trip in Heart of Village" We went to Whistler on a rainy weekend in October to just get away and this room was perfect! It's nicely furnished and has a great layout. The room is close to everything which was great considering the rainy weather we had. The best part was that we didn't feel like we were crammed into a tiny room in the village. While in the condo, it felt like we were away from it all and felt comfortable hanging out or just doing nothing. The views are amazing and the two decks were fun to sit out on (even in the rain). We would definitely stay there again. It was a plus to have a pool as well which is hard to find in the village.
