We spent three happy months in Vancouver living in this lovely townhouse in Kitsilano. The house and the location were perfect for our family of 4 (children 10 and 11). We were able to walk to many nearby attractions including Granville Island, Kitsilano beach, shops and restaurants. The house was very well equipped and comfortable and accurately matched its description. The property was clean and well maintained and the owners were very easy to deal with. I would happily recommend this property to friends.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children.

My Wife and I recently had a flood in our house and had to find "alternative" residency for 10 days while our insurance company replaced our floors, etc.. what we needed was some place in our neighborhood close to our daughter's school and the amenities we have grown accustomed to in Kitsilano. What we got exceeded our expectations in so many ways! What a beautiful home... all the mod cons one would expect, very comfortable furniture, beds and the decor made us feel warm and happy when we walked in the door. When our daughter saw her room, she immediately said "we are not in a hurry to move back to our house right??" During a very stressful time, this lovely property provided us the stability we were looking for, allowed us to quickly get back into a "routine" best of all, turned out to be a fun vacation for us!!! I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a short visit or a long term stay.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children.

My wife and I along with 3 kids stayed in this townhouse for a week in August 2011. Fantastic location, close to everything including great restaurants, shopping and the beach. Off street, reserved parking for our large SUV-this was very convenient as we parked the car and were above to walk to everything in this beautiful neighborhood. Owner was very helpful, house was well stocked and exactly as described-you won't be disappointed!!Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, families with teenagers, families with young children.

Great house to stay in with a family of 4. We enjoyed every part of the house with its small front yard. Everything is very well thought of and the furniture and colors match well together. A nice combination of modern and cosy. We felt at home right away.The kids enjoyed the playgrounds of the neighborhood school. Kitsilano is a great part of Vancouver to spend some time. From here we visited most of the city, by foot, cab, bus, boat and so on. We loved every bit of it. Thanks for staying at the Modage.Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with young children.

My family just returned from a wonderful trip to Vancouver. We spent four days in Victoria and then six days in Vancouver at the Modage. The Modage was very clean and new with great amenities. The modern kitchen had every convenience and a great coffee maker. The furniture was comfortable and well appointed and the owners have decorated the house with an artistic eye for detail. It felt more like we were guests in a lovely private home then staying in a sterile rental house environment. The house had nice perks like wifi, fireplace, and cable tv too. The owners have also supplied tons of travel books, local magazines, restaurant reviews, maps and brochures to help you plan each day in the city. It was on a quiet street but you could hear some traffic from nearby Burrad. We slept with the windows open due to the lovely Fall temperatures and didn't have too much outside noise. We appreciated the washer and dryer and the two full bathrooms and powder room downstairs were very convenient. We actually used the downstairs office/den as a nursery for my one year old daughter. It didn't have a door, just a heavy curtain so consider that if you are thinking of using it as an additional bedroom. We rented a crib and toys from Wee Travel, owned by the same ladies who rent the house. It was very convenient and the products were clean and well cared for. We rented a car since we were traveling with the baby. There was always street parking out front and a reserved spot in the back. You certainly don't need a car to get around the city as the house is centrally located near Kits and less than a block from Burrad and it's bus line into downtown. We walked to Granville Island, Broadway and Granville shopping/restaurants and 4th Street shopping district in Kitsilano. The IGA grocery and Greens market were a few blocks walk from the house. We also walked to Vij for dinner, after a suggestion from Shana, we actually walked right up to the restaurant at 8:30 and were seated in less than 5 minutes (while grandma watched the baby at home.) Also try Zest on 16th for great traditional/fusion Japanese fare and Hapa Izakaya on Yew street for fun Japanese bar food. If you have any interest in the First Nations history, check out the Museum of Anthropology at UBC. Our last few days were spent around Stanley Park, the Aquarium, the seawall and parks. Check out the Cardero Bottega deli near Denman for amazing gourmet take out sandwiches and Chau on Robson for great Vietnamese fusion.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

If you have the opportunity to rent this house, don't hesitate. The location is ideal - it's on a quiet residential street, but is a short walk to great shopping and restaurants; Granville Island is just a 20 minute walk away. Our family of 4 (including 2 teens) fit comfortably in this nicely decorated, well-appointed house. The owner is very nice and really cares that you have a good stay. If we ever return to Vancouver we will be sure to rent this house again!Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with teenagers, romantic getaway.

We had a fantastic 2 weeks in Vancouver making the Modage our home base. The home is a great location, very well appointed and close to all forms of public transportation, bike paths, and major sites. Lesley and Shana helped us with suggestions of all manner - summer camps, bike rental locations, restaurants, the works. We would definitely return to Vancouver and stay at the Modage! We were a family of 2 adults and 2 kids and 2 aunts/uncles joined us for part of the time.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children.

With three young children, this townhouse could not have been better located for our visit--we were able to just leave the car parked and walk everywhere--Kits beach, breakfast, cafes, groceries (great natural market even), parks, and even False Creek Ferry to Granville, which was so much fun. The house is lovely and was very comfortable for the 5 of us--more spacious than we expected. Baby gear provided by Wee Travel was also a big help. Highly recommend it for families!Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, families with teenagers, families with young children.

About the owner: This townhouse was not built as a vacation rental but as my home. In the middle of building I met my husband but could not part with my place. For a number of years I rented it out unfurnished, but in Sep 2009 decided to lease it as a vacation rental property and devoted 1000s of hours scouring shops to find just the right pieces. I hope you like it as much as I do!
The Unique Benefits at this Townhome:
The home is very centrally located on a beautiful quiet tree-lined street. It is just steps from major bus routes along Broadway, Fourth Avenue, Burrard and Granville Street where you can catch public transport to almost everywhere.
Trendy shopping areas of South Granville and Fourth Avenue are just a 5 minute walk, and Kits beach, Granville Island and Robson Street are less than 20 minutes by foot and a few minutes by car. Stanley Park is a 10 minute car ride. Some of the cities best restaurants are located within walking distance, as are a number of children's parks.
