About Trish and/or John
Hello: We are a semi-retired professional couple in our mid 60's from Vancouver, Canada. Last year we spent 3 months in Guatemala (studying Spanish and working as volunteers) and loved it! It is our intention to continue our spanish studies with the goal of being able to communicate so we can effectively join a Guatemalan volunteer organization. This year we have extended our time away to 4 months and, when home, we love to spend time in our cabin on a local gulf island.
Trish and/or John purchased this House in 1984
What makes this House unique
Very peaceful and quiet with loads of charm exuding good energy. Although "not new", we have gone to great lengths to maintain our home's original elegance and heritage. It is in excellent condition with many recent renovations and additions and well cared for grounds and garden.

Could not have been better.
Thank you Glenna & Bob, not only for your glowing words, but for being such gracious and respectful guests. Thanks too for caring for our home as you would your own and for leaving it so tidy and clean. Come back again!!!
Gorgeous House
Karen and her lovely family arrived from Hong Kong for a month in Vancouver.
They showed the greatest of respect for our home and our neighbors.
The house was left immaculate and in great condition. This made it so much easier and timely for us to do the 24 hour change-over for the next tenants. Thanks for your care. All the best, Trish & John
Wonderful home!
Marion, Ken and Louise were superlative tenants and we welcome them back anytime. Our house was treated with obvious care and respect and we are so happy they enjoyed their stay. It is people like them that makes renting so enjoyable and worry-free.
