Enjoy the best views Vancouver has to offer while surrounding yourself with style and luxury. Located on the 33rd floor in the heart of downtown Vancouver and Yaletown, this penthouse suite offers stunning views from every room.
Featuring over 1400 sq ft of indoor/outdoor living space, this impressive condo boasts top of the line features and designer finishes. From the European style kitchen with stainless appliances and limestone countertops, to the luxurious master bath with double sinks, enclosed glass shower and deep soaker tub, you will enjoy nothing but the best.
Follow the marble staircase up the two flights of stairs to the spectacular private roof top deck. From here you can enjoy the stunning sunsets and a prime view to Vancouver's annual "Festival of Light" fireworks competition.
Expansive floor to ceiling glass windows showcase the sweeping views of English Bay and spectacular seaside sunsets. Conveniently located and only steps away from internationally acclaimed cuisine and culture.
The building has an exercise facility equipped with stationary bikes, treadmills, elliptical machines and weight circuit. In the summer months there is also an outdoor lap pool that is open for a swim or for a dip to cool off. A secure, underground parking spot is provided during your stay should you be traveling with a vehicle.
Located in the most central area of downtown Vancouver at the intersection of Seymour Street and Davie Street, the location is unbeatable for convenience. A 5 minute walk and you are in the heart of Yaletown, a converted warehouse district with an energetic bar and gourmet restaurant scene. Go 10 minutes west and you are in the heart of the West End and Davie Street. Here you will find a melange of international casual dining restaurants and eclectic boutiques. Davie street is home to well over a dozen Asian fusion and sushi restaurants, with prices so good you will become a regular of your favorite spot in no time!
If you are interested in art and theater, the Vancouver Art Gallery, Orpheum Theater (home of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra) are both a 10 minute walk away. If you tire of walking, a "must do" is a quick 10 minute trip on the Aquabus, a foot passenger ferry that crosses False Creek to Granville Island. This is a heritage site of old industrial buildings which now houses a bustling market of fresh and prepared food, local artisans, and an always changing array of street performers. This is also home to the Arts Club Theater, Vancouver's professional live theater group. With productions that range from musicals, to contemporary comedies and classics, a night here is sure to be memorable.
For those visiting during the ski season, there are three local ski hills that you can reach by car in 30 minutes. Whistler mountain, an international ski resort is a less than 2hr drive up the scenic sea to sky highway and is spectacular to visit anytime of year.
Vancouver is a fantastic city to explore on foot, and the Skybox penthouse suite offers you a perch in the city and place to relax and enjoy the stunning views. Public transportation stops right across the street from building entrance and the Canada Line Yaletown/Roundhouse station is four blocks away.

The photos on VRBO wowed us and definitely were the reason we chose to rent the Skybox unit. We were a little worried the condo wasn't as nice in person, however this was definitely NOT the case. Skybox was lovely... the views are sensational by day and especially by night. Kelli has decorated and stocked the place well - very good attention to detail. We walked the city and neighborhoods and feel the Yaletown location provides the best for access to markets, restaurants, rail/bus system, night life, shopping. It's all right there. The only bad thing was we didn't want to go out - just wanted to enjoy the sunsets on the rooftop. It definitely is a destination in itself! Thanks Kelli, for offering the Skybox to others to enjoy. It definitely made our stay memorable!!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, tourists without a car, sightseeing, romantic getaway.

My husband & I stayed for 8 days in this 33rd floor skybox apartment for our 30th wedding anniversary and it was fabulous. The photos are accurate - the apartment is lovely - but even we were stunned by the views. The floor-to-ceiling windows steal the show, as does the view of English Bay from every room in the apartment, especially the rooftop terrace. It was difficult to pry ourselves from the apartment to experience Vancouver, but we did. Sun shades in the bedroom and bathroom help prevent the apartment from getting too warm on sunny days, and great curtains help block the sun if you're a late sleeper. One word of caution - if you're bashful, the lack of curtains in the master bath may cause some anxiety. The sun shade helps some, but will not block others' view of you at night. Don't let that scare you, though. There is enough light from the city to help you navigate in the darkness, and taking advantage of that soaking tub while taking in the lights of the city is quite a treat. The kitchen was extremely well-stocked and we appreciated the special touches like fresh sunflowers, plenty of coffee/tea supplies, well-maintained appliances and the stacked washer/dryer as well as a great collection of local tourist information. Also, this apartment had the best "Welcome/Info" book we've ever seen in a rental. It's obvious the owner's have put a lot of effort into making this a top-notch rental. For that, we are very grateful. Climate control was a non-issue. The thermostats are really easy to understand and use, as is the lighting and TV/music system. We found everything at our fingertips and directions in the book were very easy to follow. The best part of the apartment is the private rooftop terrace. It's simply amazing. If the weather is good, you'll find yourself up there at all times of the day. The 180+ degree views of Vancouver are spectacular, but the sunsets over English Bay are the real show stoppers. The Starbucks on the ground floor is also a bonus. We loved everything about this apartment. It's breathtaking and definitely worth a stay.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, tourists without a car, sightseeing, girls getaway, romantic getaway.

My husband and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary at this property. AMAZING! We loved everything about it. The sunrise's and sunsets were beautiful. The view was amazing! The house was spotless. We are clean freaks, so it takes a lot for me to say that. Kelly was amazing with communications. A very romantic place to stay. A terrific part of Vancouver. It is close to everywhere. We would definitely come back. A definite must to stay!Recommended for: Age 55+, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, people with disabilities, sightseeing, romantic getaway.

This rental is a treat for the discriminating traveler! The property looks exactly as portrayed in the photos on the website. The views are breathtaking and we were greeted by fresh flowers and a fridge stocked with wine, drinks, cream and orange juice, as well as fresh Illy coffee! The location is very central and convenient and we enjoyed several good meals in Yaletown. Do try "The Flying Pig" - wonderful food and a great vibe. Kelle was a pleasure to deal with, helping us with suggestions for sight seeing etc. Sitting on the rooftop patio and watching the sun set was magical. Highly recommended.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, sightseeing, girls getaway, romantic getaway.

We stayed at the Skybox for 5 days and had a thoroughly enjoyable time, both at the flat and in the city. The flat is beautifully furnished and offers a spectacular view over the sights of Vancouver and the surrounding area. The photos accurately reflect the rental's appearance and amenities. The property was spotless on arrival. We spent hours on the roof deck at night taking in the views listening to smooth tunes on the stereo. Most vacation rentals are primarily a comfortable place to sleep. The SkyBox is a destination in itself. We would happily recommend the Skybox to friends and family. I'd give it a 6 out of 5 if I could.Recommended for: Age 55+, tourists without a car, sightseeing, girls getaway, romantic getaway.

The Skybox is absolutely a fantastic place to stay! We spent a gorgeous August week there, enjoying the city and even viewed the fireworks from the private roof-top deck. The place is immaculate, modern and luxuriously appointed -- even better than you can imagine from the photos. Location was perfect with cafes and gourmet grocers nearby, but also all the eateries of Yaletown. All the amenities were in good working order and convenient. The layout worked well for us with one teenager using the single-bed alcove on the upper floor. The owner was extremely pleasant to deal with and completely helpful. We HIGHLY recommend staying here for a mind-blowing view of Vancouver. And if you visit during summer, get tickets for the Bard on the Beach (Shakespeare festival)-- it's very enjoyable.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, sightseeing, girls getaway, romantic getaway.

Our stay at Skybox felt just like being at home...but so much better. We we received a warm welcome on arriving at the unit and were overwhelmed by its beauty and elegance. All the conveniences of being at home were at our fingertips. We could cook our own meals, relax to an ocean view, step out for a walk in Yaletown, take the aquabus to Granville Market, or take a short walk to the harbour to see the Olympic Flame, or shop on nearby Robson Street. For some delicious Italian food, enjoy Q4 al Centro close by at 780 Richards Street! This is a beautiful, well-maintained, and elegant penthouse condo located in an area which is safe and has easy access to all type of amenities for your visit to Vancouver. Thank you to the owner for offering this condo to visitors to Vancouver!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, tourists without a car, sightseeing, girls getaway, romantic getaway.

We spent a week in Kelli's apartment this July and we were so, so happy. The apartment is clean, modern and hyper-functional. The views from every room are just breathtaking. We'd go out and see the sights etc as you do, but when we opened the door of the ap't each time we returned, we both just went "Oh! and wow!" Words can't describe the impact of that view to the West over the top of this wonderful city and out to the Ocean and Mountains. As the week progressed, we ended up buying food and bringing it in so we could just sit in the kitchen and look out over the city whilst eating. It is, literally, the best seats in the city from which to have a glass of wine and eat. All of ap't amenities are top notch and you feel as if you're living in a tv show, it's so 'right'. There's a great lap pool and gym available to you as a 'resident' and having a Starbucks in the basement started the day very nicely. Best of all though was the bath. You can lie back in the bubbles, sipping a glass of wine and look out over the twinkling city lights whilst watching the seaplanes make their graceful turns on approach to landing in the harbor. So peaceful, so refined, so special. We plan to go back next summer and do it all again. Can't wait.Recommended for: Age 55+, tourists without a car, sightseeing, romantic getaway.

This was by far the best and most amazing part of our honeymoon. The condo looks exactly like the pictures. The accommodations are wonderful, the view is amazing, and the neighborhood is a perfect spot to start any tourist activity. This condo should be listed for at least 4x the current asking price...if you are travelling to Vancouver...stay here!!!Recommended for: Age 55+, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, sightseeing, girls getaway, romantic getaway.

My wife and I spent three days midweek at the Skybox and it is called this for a very good reason. A bit of heaven in the heart of downtown!! This property has everything one would want in a downtown location in Vancouver. Close to parks, shopping, sightseeing, water, main road. The condition of the unit is immaculate, tasteful and modern furniture, full chef kitchen, bathtub looking out over the city, remote controlled privacy wall window shades, secure indoor parking, decor is modern and clean, full stereo, seamless universal remote for tv/dvr/dvd/cd with speakers in all rooms and rooftop deck, wifi, great custom info book to explain the unit inside and out including local shops and directions. Check in was seamless, great communication with owner, prompt response and local contact person for any problems, although we had none at all. Saving the best for last, the huge private 34th floor rooftop deck, best view over the city and out into the Bay, found ourselves up there for coffee in the am and drinks in the evening despite the occasional rain storm in mid october. Truly no better place to stay in Vancouver, and given downtown pricing its also a great value. Look no further, just don't book the Skybox during the week we plan to return next year. We already miss the views :( You will love this place like we did :)Recommended for: Adventure seekers, tourists without a car, sightseeing, girls getaway, romantic getaway.
