Vancouver Heights is located in the North-Western corner of Burnaby. From the property, there are fantastic views from Stanley Park and Vancouver harbour in the west to the North Shore Mountains and Indian Arm in the east. It's a 15 minute drive to a number of great spots including the heart of downtown Vancouver, the foot of Grouse, Cypress or Seymour Mountains, and the sandy beaches of Barnet Marine park. This is a great location!
The neighborhood is renowned for its fabulous delicatessens, coffee shops, and restaurants of every ethnicity. Public bus transportation is a 2 minute walk away. There is a marine park right below the property that offers miles of jogging, biking and hiking on trails that extend into Burnaby Mountain to the east, and to the waterfront and city to the west. It's easy to get to the top of Burnaby Mountain, the home of Simon Fraser University, with lots of great recreational opportunities and classes found there. The North Shore Mountains - Grouse, Seymour and Cypress - offer down-hill and cross country skiing, snowboarding, and snowshoeing in the winter, and hiking trails, wildlife reserves, restaurants and picnic areas with stunning views...and so much more. Eileen Daily Leisure Centre has 2 pools, a steam room, exercise classes and weight training facilities and is a 2 minute drive away.
There are 2 parks within a 2 - 5 minute walk offering tennis courts, soccer fields, a children's wading pool and climbing apparatus'. The Pacific National Exhibition (PNE) grounds are a 3 minute drive away and offer skating at the Pacific Coleseum in the winter months, and Playland, a family amusement park thats open from early spring to late summer. There is also a race track there, operating in the summer months, and the annual agricultural and amusement fair for 10 days at the end of August. Close by is the New Brighton beach park and outdoor swimming pool - great for a swim and afternoon picnic....There is so much to explore in this neighbourhood!

Why the Owner Chose Burnaby
Aside from the convenience to so many great recreational and cultural venues, the specialness of this property is it's unbelievably great, ever changing, mountain and harbour view. You'll enjoy it too.
Owner's Map of Burnaby
My family was in the harbor-tour business for many years. We really enjoyed the opportunity to take visitors out from all over the world on cruises of Vancouver harbour, seeing the mountain, ocean and city views from the water. Once again, we can offer visitors the same views - from this property in Vancouver Heights.

The property is easy to find, in a nice residential area of Vancouver with very easy access to Down Town Vancouver and the area in general. The property was spotless, very well equipped and the owners hospitable. In fact, the property exceeded our expectations from the description and photos. The owners seemed to have thought of everything and anticipated any needs we might have. We were a three generational party. There were toys for the little ones and a den with a huge TV and lots of DVDs. The outside eating area is lovely and the views from the main room and upstairs bedrooms absolutely beautiful. We liked everything about Vancouver and spent the days exploring and the house was great to come back to at the end of the day. We would unhesitatingly recommend the property, and if we get to go back to Vancouver, we would stay there again!

This property is everything as described.The owners go above and beyond being helpful & friendly, their home is spotless, and the view is just beautiful. If we ever get the chance to venture west again we would definitely want to stay in same location. It is spacious and extremely comfortable,and grounds are out of a magazine.Highly recommended!

We had a fabulous time in your home while attending our son's wedding. The dining room was perfect to accommodate our family get togethers and we really appreciated the patio furniture for lunches/treats outside. You both were so helpful and friendly. Can't say enough about all the amenities that your house provided. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Thank you Sean and Wayne for a wonderful week in Burnaby. Your home was the perfect place for our family get-together. Everything was just like we had hoped and I'm certain we'll be back for other visits. We can recommend your place without hesitation to anyone vacationing in Vancouver. It's a home away from home, and the location was central to all attractions.

Our family stayed in this remarkable home for our son's wedding and it couldn't have been a more suitable venue. There was plenty of space for us, 4 adults & 2 children with an additional 2 children a few nights. The front yard was perfect for the children to play in a secure environment. The proximity to parks and hiking trails was ideal. The absolute highlight of the home is the spectacular view from the dining room and we were able to host visiting families there. Everyone was taken a back with the view. We also enjoyed the little shops on Hastings St ie meat market & deli, fresh fruit & vegetable market and bakeries. The hosts, Sean and Wayne were so gracious,doing everything they could to make our stay comfortable & enjoyable. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property to our friends and would go back any time if the situation arose. Thank you, Sean and Wayne for adding to the enjoyment of our wedding experience!

Best house to stay

We can't thank Sean and Wayne much. This certainly was the best home we rented in our entire vacation (quite a few in the US that we rented) and the experience was just awesome. We requested a early arrival and Sean was very kind to allow that which is not common except hotels. On our arrival, we found everything that you would like in your own home. With kids, we wanted them to enjoy the home as much and they were made comfortable immediately by Sean getting them Toy Story 2 on a big screen. We never felt out of place here with cooking (lots of spices), flour and other things were made available in the house itself. A list of things to see, stores, etc. was kept on the table as well making it easy for us to find what we may need in the area. It was like making a visitor actually feel at home. The view from the house during the day and night was beautiful. Finally we had to leave but with a cruise to catch and with tons of luggage we were concerned to take it all and with no easily available place to put up this luggage we requested Sean if she could keep them for us for a week (we were not renting the place) and I don't think anyone would have agreed (my experience there) to do that for strangers but Sean was very kind and allowed to put it all in a room. She was way to kind and nice and I feel we have made a friend for life. I definitely recommend anyone and everyone to rent this home for their vacation and I am sure you will be happy for the choice made. Burnaby is about 5-8 kms from Vancouver but very convenience locality to stay as well. If ever, we make a trip to Vancouver, we know we want need to spend a lot of time to find one :)

We enjoyed our stay in this house! It was perfect for our family holiday. Our stay was wonderful. We had two little kids with us and the owner was very gracious in preparing the house to make it kid friendly and to accommodate our needs and requests. Internet connection was high speed, the owners left a basket of local shopping and restaurant guides that was very useful. The house was roomy and had a great view. The kitchen had everything you would need !!! Parking was very convenient. We appreciated the quiet residential neighborhood. My only suggestion is to have a small playground for the kids in the garden would be nice. Sean and Wayne, thank you for a great stay. We would highly recommend this property to anyone, and families with children would especially enjoy this beautiful house.

Firstly I want to say a HUGE thank you to both Sean and Wayne! Their communication before arrival was first class and when we arrived they were SO warm and welcoming! They made sure we had everything we needed and couldn't do enough to make us feel at home. Thank you so much for this :-) We (7 adults in our late 20's) came over for a week for a friends wedding in Vancouver, the house was fantastic, good location, great bedrooms and the view is just breathtaking! We used the local bus to get into downtown Vancouver and hired a car for a few days to go snowbarding (go night-skiing if you get the chance!) on the local mountains and to go further afield. Sean and Wayne left a list of great food/drink places and activities to do which was very helpful. All in all I couldn't recommend tis property enough! Thank you!

We rented this property for a month for a business trip. The experience was amazing and the property owners truly a delight to deal with. They were very professional, organised and personable. The house was amazing, the views spectacular. It is very warm and cozy with many personal touches that make you feel at home. It is not a sparse rental but fully furnished and feels like home. i have rented from vrbo before and this the best rental experience I have had. I would recommed this house for business professional to families with young and old you will not be disappointed. It was very clean, well appointed with a cute courtyard, balcony and ample living space. Internet connection was high speed and reliable connection. There was great proximity to shopping and markets. The owners left a basket of local shopping and restuarant guides that was very useful. A great property, highly recommended.

If you hope to stay at a affordable luxury house with lovely yard, plenty of living space, quality furniture, pillows and beds, and unforgettably beautiful view day-and-night to accompany you and your family during your vacation, this is definitely a house you would love to choose at Vancouver !! Even going nowhere and stay in the house with a coffee and tea by the window to enjoy the sunset and the harbor night lights is so pleasant and romantic !! And, if you want to visit the famous attractions at Vancouver, this house is so close to almost everywhere !! We spend here for 4 nights and we just hate to leave. The owners, Sean and Wayne, are so friendly that you feel great neighboring with them, and you will be assisted whenever you need help to ensure a happy vacation. It's worthy for us to recommend to any future travelers to Vancouver !
