Keywords: House
Located in "Kits Point", one of Vancouver's most desirable neighbourhoods, this Heritage House sits on a beautiful tree lined street. It is colourfully decorated in an eclectic style with a mix of old and new, antiques and original art.
The house is just across the bridge from downtown Vancouver and 3 blocks from Kitsilano Beach. The surrounding park boasts a 110 meter, saltwater, outdoor swimming pool; 8 tennis courts; 2 basketball courts; children's playground; plenty of open space for picnicking and playing games; and a waterfront fine dining restaurant and bar. The Vancouver Museum; Space Centre; Maritime Museum; Aquabus, (a tiny boat that takes you across False Creek); and a pickup point for the Vancouver Trolley Tours (hop on, hop off) are all located in Vanier Park, just a few blocks from the house. In summer, the Shakespearean Festival "Bard on the Beach" also sets up its tents here.
Walk or bike along the waterfront to Granville Island with its colourful farmer's market; coffee shops; artist's studios; kid's market; water park; waterfront yoga studio; live theatres; restaurants; pubs; charter boats; and harbour cruises. If you'd like, you can stop on your way back at Fisherman's Wharf for "Vancouver's Best Fish and Chips".
We are a 20 minute walk or 5 minute drive/bus/taxi ride away from the City Centre. If you’d prefer to take public transport, there is a bus stop 1/2 a block away.
In the winter you can go skiing, snowboarding, tobogganing or tubing at one of our local mountains: Grouse, Cypress or Seymour, all within a 30 minute drive. Grouse Mountain also has a restaurant and lookout at the top with views of Vancouver, its surrounding area and the Southern Gulf Islands. Whistler is a 2 hour drive away up beautiful Howe Sound.
Vancouver is quickly becoming known for its World Class Cuisine. Many of the finest restaurants are located along "Vancouver's Restaurant Mile" on Fourth Avenue, just a few blocks away. The neighbourhood is also home to one of the best shopping districts in the city. In the evenings, stroll back home the long way, around the waterfront, with its gorgeous views of the North Shore Mountains, Stanley Park and the lights of the city sparkling across False Creek.
If you’d prefer a quiet night in, you can prepare your own meals in our fully equipped kitchen, complete with stainless appliances and gas range. Or if you'd rather just take it easy, walk one block to the best selection of takeout in the city.
