Accommodations: Condo, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 4)
Keywords: Condominium
Luxury two bedroom condominium in an exclusive waterfront complex in downtown Vancouver, this unit’s location is second to none! It doesn't get any better for urban living - steps to waterfront taxis, the marina & the sea wall.
Great for visiting tourists, business people, actors, and new or existing Vancouver residents looking for an upscale place to call home, in a spectacular location.
LOCATION
Directly adjacent to the False Creek waterfront, the best of Vancouver is right outside your door. Half-a-block to Marinaside (home to Vancouver’s best waterfront cafés), and half-a-block to Yaletown (home to Vancouver’s top restaurants and nightlife). And the False Creek Aqua Bus to Granville Island market is only steps away!
[So as not to be misleading to our guests, please note that our building, while part of a 4 building waterfront complex, is 1/2 block back from the water, and thus not directly facing False Creek.]
Imagine starting your morning with a coffee from one of Vancouver’s finest Italian bakery and coffee shops across the street (and for those who prefer their Starbucks, it’s right next door too!). Then take a morning stroll on the fabulous seawall, only steps from the front door. You can cycle the seawall directly to English Bay or Stanley Park - a hybrid bike is available for guests’ use, and if another is needed (or rollerblading is your thing), rentals are right across the street.
Here for a conference, concert or sporting event? BC Place and GM Place (Olympic Opening/Closing Ceremony & Hockey venues, respectively) are both less than a 10 minute walk. And for those who love to shop, stylish Robson Street starts at GM Place.
Vancouver’s trendiest, upscale grocery (with restaurant, take away and coffee bar) is right downstairs. And a fresh fruit & produce market, upscale liquor & wine outlet, video store and bank are all literally steps from our building entrance, along with and all sorts of trendy restaurants, coffee shops and café’s.
Also nearby (within walking distance): Plaza of Nations (start of Vancouver International Marathon) – 5-7 mins; Edgewater Casino – 6-8 mins; David Lam Park (Vancouver International Jazz festival venue) – 1.5 blocks; Telus Science Centre – 10-15 mins (or 2 mins by Aquabus); Tennis courts and fabulous green space – less than a block away.

Map & Owner's Profile
Upscale Vancouver Condo, Spectacular Yaletown Location!
Year Purchased: 2008
Why the Owner Chose Yaletown
Downtown Vancouver is where it's at. Trendy restaurants, quaint cafes, the seawall and gorgeous waterfront...and still only minutes away from the Coast mountains and ferries to the Gulf Islands. Yaletown itself is one of the nicest, cleanest and safest areas in all of downtown Vancouver, while at the same time the most lively, urban and upbeat.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
Where else in the world can you:
- get up in the morning and go for coffee at a cafe on the water (Marinaside in Yaletown on False Creek)
- then take a waterfront jog along the seawall through one of the most beautiful urban parks in the world (Stanley Park)
- then hop in your car and drive 30 minutes for a short hike in the mountains where signs sometimes warn of cougar or bear sightings (I'm not kidding...though don't fret, this is rare)
- and be back for a scrumptious dinner at one of the trendiest restaurants in the country (Yaletown...the area where our condo is).
I actually did this one day! This is quintessential Vancouver, and it's why we love it here.
Owner's Map of Yaletown
My wife and I moved to Vancouver for a short term stay in the summer of 2006, and absolutely fell in love with the city during our time there. The combination of upscale urban lifestyle and absolutely spectacular scenery just couldn't be beat. It was easy to see why Vancouver was rated the #3 city to live in in the world (behind only Zurich and Geneva) for the past several years. We knew we would be back. However moving to Vancouver was not an option, since both our families (to whom we are very close) live in Calgary. What to do, what to do?! Well, in the summer of 2008, we finally broke down and bought a place there. At least this way we could visit often, and 'live' there part time! We hope you enjoy Vancouver (and all it has to offer) as much as we do!

Great Location

Review Submitted: 09/13/11
Located 2 minutes from the subway and three minutes from the water taxi stop, the location was great. With no HVAC it may be a bit warm in August. Some street noise when the windows are open. Kitchen was well equipted and having Urban Fare, a high end grocer on the first level, was convenient beyond words. Walk to many of the city's best restaurants and clubs. Rooms were snug but adequate for two couples. Having glass walls on four sides makes it feel spacious. We will return next year

We had a great vacation that all started with this condo, it was perfect for my wife and I travelling with our young son and sister-in-law. Perfect location with good access to everything we needed, definitely handy having the grocery store in the same building. Condo was nicely decorated, clean and spacious. Having the full kitchen and BBQ, as well as parking saved us money, while the pool (which our son used daily) made our visit more enjoyable. If we return to vancouver we will definitely rent this condo again.

I had a 9 night stay in this 2 bed 2 bath condo in Yaletown mid June 2011. Tho location of the condo was perfect, with the Sky train station only approx 100 yards away and an abundance of places to eat within easy walking distance. The Aqua Bus terminal for trips to Granville Island was 100 yards down the street towards False Creek. The condo was exactly as displayed in the photos on this website, and is every bit as comfortable and luxurious as described. It was spotlessly clean (thanks to their most efficient and friendly cleaner/keyholder), and spaceous. There were 4 of us there (2 couples), and we had lots of room. Troy and Maria (the owners) were fantastic to deal with, and gave us lots of info prior to arriving. Overall we had a fantastic holiday in a fantastic city, and stayed in fantastic accommodation. I would have no hesitation in recommending this condo to anyone looking for great accommodation an a prime location.

We stayed in this condo in the heart of Yaletown for a week with our 2 year old daughter and couldn't have been more pleased. This condo is less than a block from a metro stop and steps from the seawall. We both walked & biked to Stanley Park from here and were able to use public transit to go everywhere else in the city we wanted to go. We also borrowed the condo's bicycle so we only needed to rent one bike instead of two. The grocery store on the ground floor of the building is super convenient and we frequently visited the pool and fitness centre. If you're looking for a place to stay with a small child we highly recommend this condo.

Wonderful condo with all the practical amenities needed. We loved having the option of cooking in the modern kitchen or sitting out on the balcony with a drink. The neighborhood is quiet yet lively with people coming to/from the Seawall or local restaurants. Everything is within walking distance or if you don't have the energy or want to go father out the rail line is just a block away. Also very important to note is that Maria & Troy are very pleasant to work with (both before and after your visit).

This condo is an excellent option if you want to stay in Yaletown. Can't beat the location.... steps from the Canada Line, making it easy to transport to and from the airport. And the seawall is RIGHT out the door. The condo itself is very spacious with pleasant views from its enormous windows. It's a comfortable space to be in short or long term. Having 2 parking spaces was fantastic and rare from our other experiences. We look forward to renting again.

Quiet, Good Location and Ammenities We would certainly rent this condo again. The condo is in a good location to enjoy Yaletown, walking along False Creek, biking to Granville Market and Stanley Park, taking the aquabus to Granville Market, and using the bus and trains to the suburbs, airport and downtown. The suite is quiet and is as described on this site. The complex has very nice amenities such as the fully-equipped gym and a lap pool. There is an exercise room in the middle of the lagoon which was excellent for a morning stretch routine looking out onto a beautiful garden. Troy and Maria were very good hosts. We enjoyed having Urban Fare attached to the complex as well as other stores and restaurants.

My husband and I stayed over two weeks at this condo and loved the experience. You could not ask for a better location, especially if you don't have a car. The transit station is a half block away, a taxi stand is on the corner and the aquabus is less than a block away. The opportunity for long beautiful walks is provided by the seawall. You can ride bikes along it as well. There is a grocery store in the same block as the condo with incredible selections. If that is not enough, you can hop on the aquabus and peruse the selections at Granville Island. There are many excellent restaurants in the neighborhood as well. We are planning to stay here again next summer for a month. After 18 days, we just did not want to leave.

This was our first time using VRBO and all I can say is that we had a wonderful experience staying at this condo in Yaletown. First, the condo was clean, just as described (no surprises), and location was unbeatable. We would walk downstairs and a block away was the marina where there was direct access to the jogging trail/bike trail along the seawall. Immediately adjacent to the building was a grocery store, which proved to be very convenient given that we had our 2 year old son with us. Not to mention, there were a ton of restaurants all within walking distance. The area itself was quite upscale, no shady people walking around, very safe. Having a garage parking spot was also nice since we could go in and out without wasting time looking for parking. All in all, I would highly recommend this condo to anyone visiting Vancouver for a weekend or several months.

I had the pleasure of spending six months in this wonderful Vancouver condominium with its magnificent views! Everything was perfect. All the essential household amenities were provided. The layout of space is lovely and makes for easy living for a single or a family. Loved the underground parking and the convenience of a concierge. Of course, the location is one of the best possible in Vancouver with its proximity to Starbucks, bike rental shop, Urban Fare Market, the aqua bus to Granville Island and many excellent restaurants. The owners are delightful and always accessible to answer any questions. I would highly recommend this rental space. In fact, I wish I were there now!
