About this property

A Beach Style Chalet In The Heart Of Ottawa

I love your house is very bright, it features a big backyard, and it's located in the heart of Ottawa. Built in the 1800s, the house is been totally renovated, yet maintains the charm of an old log home.
A perfect house to accommodate a couple, two couples, or a family while visiting Ottawa, the nation's capital. 'I Love Your House' features an open concept design, with a split-level living and kitchen area, plus 1/2 bath, on the ground floor, and two bedrooms plus a main bathroom on the split-level second floor. The large master bedroom has a queen-size bed, Smart TV, plenty of closet space, and backyard-facing balcony. The second bedroom has a double bed, a beautiful armoire, and a balcony that faces the street. There is a huge, new deck, with a covered porch and BBQ in the back yard, plus room to park two cars. Lots of windows throughout and very bright. It's a very clean, happy and warm environment, which is why everyone always tells me: "I love your house" :-)

Excellent stay in the middle of it all

Excellent host who provided everything we needed and then some! The house was better than the photos could describe. Felt very comfortable and secure the whole time. The main bedroom could use a curtain on tall window near the ceiling, but that wasnt all too bad. We still were able to sleep in a bit. The host provided some food and drink items when we arrived, that was extremely thoughtful.

Charming home

We had a very happy time in this lovely home, which lacks for nothing and is full of charm. It was the perfect place to have friends who we hadn’t seen for a while over for dinner. Ana gave us a warm welcome and a thorough tour of the home. We walked downtown and admired the parliament buildings (and the tulips), and ambled beside the canal in the heat.

The Perfect Place in Ottawa

Ana's house is the perfect place to live and work while in Ottawa. Everything you need for a comfortable stay is provided, and the internet connection is flawless. Frankly, there's no reason to stay anywhere else if Ana's house is available. :)

Five Star Plus

This is the second time we have stayed in this house and I can only say that this is a 'REAL' home away from home. The house is centrally located and only a short walk to Parliament Hill and the nearby Byward Market with its vibrant nightlife filled with bars and restaurants. Everything catered for down to spare toothbrushes. Well done Ana.

Outstanding experience

I stayed in Ottawa for few days for Ottawa Marathon. Ana’s place had it all: great location, beautiful, spotless interior and all the comforts of home - including a great array of fresh foods and drinks! Loving attention to detail was evident on every step, and the decor is simply stunning. We will definitely be back!

The best stay in Ottawa!

Amazing!! This house couldn’t have been any better for our family of four. Everything was immaculately cleaned and furnished. The house was a beautifully renovated older home with parking and a deck that we enjoyed out back facing the sun. Ana went above and beyond most rental places we’ve been to by providing staple food items for breakfast, wine, beer and the chocolates in our rooms was a sweet touch as well. The location was perfect for easy walking to downtown, so we kept our car parked in her driveway the whole stay. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Ottawa!

Fantastic

Ana was a great host. Easy to contact and communicate with. The location of her home is ideal for the traveler. The house itself is a unique place in the city. Great decor, architecture and layout. We did not want to leave our location. We are a family of four and the location served us perfectly. We would stay again

Absolutely stunning! Cozy and comfortable. Unique

Absolutely unbelievable! We will return here again and again. Everything was top notch. I have stayed in a lot of homes all over the world and this was by far my very, very favourite. High quality everything (beds, towels, bedding, appliances....) with a cozy, country feel. We didn’t want to leave and go home.

Beautiful!

Ana, the host, was very friendly and proud of her rental and it showed. The beds and furniture were comfortable. The home was very clean and well decorated. Ana even left us some food staples such as bread, milk, and eggs to start us off. There was even toothbrushes and shampoo for us to use. Ana had even treated us to wine, beer, and pop. The covered deck was great for enjoying my morning coffee. There is no central air but there was an air conditioner in the master bedroom. The bedroom was cold and the rest of the house was cool enough. The kitchen did get a little warm when I was cooking but not enough to deter me from renting this beautiful property again. Loved Ana's thoughtfulness and personal touches that made our stay perfect. If I visit Ottawa again then I will definately stay here. Thanks for your wonderful hospitality Ana.

Ana was an amazing host and the house is beautiful.

The central location is ideal and I enjoyed my walks to several museums and Parliament Hill. The kitchen had everything I needed and more to prepare meals. I enjoyed relaxing on the deck as well. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect home away from home.

Cozy, well situated home with friendly, welcoming home owner

Ana's home made our Ottawa stay a true retreat into the holiday experience. It has a simple, casual coziness with a clean and clutterfree ambiance, yet it felt quite spa-like. It has a beachy feel with white and natural colours accented with greens and blues. It's very well located. We walked to Parliament, The National Art Gallery, The Museum of Nature, and, on Friday night, to Yuk Yuks for a bit of fun. We had long, busy days and it was a treat to return to the house each night and then in the morning to have a couple of coffees before heading out. We took taxis home several times and the fares were reasonable as the location is very convenient. We would highly recommend Ana's home stay as your Home Away from home : )

Felt like home

We had a great time in Ottawa, made even better by staying at Ana's very lovely house. The location made it so easy to get to all of the sights and the neighborhood offers groceries and an excellent restaurant (Mekong) within quick walking distance. Ana has thought of everything and pampered us with treats. Her house is bright yet cozy and so comfortable we felt we were right at home. Thank you, Ana, for making our first trip to Ottawa special.

Excellent location; well provisioned

Ana definitely made us feel like special guests. The home is very comfortable (we were 2 couples), and well located to walk to all the sights we wanted to visit. Ana kindly had groceries in the fridge for us as well as lots in her pantry we could access. The house is very clean and homey. Thank you Ana for making our stay special.

Adorable and comfortable home!

I was so lucky to have found this delightful home to rent while I was in Ottawa for a month. Not only was it beautifully furnished and decorated, it had everything you could possibly need and then some. Ana had thought of absolutely everything and was always available to answer questions or help when necessary. She is a wonderful and welcoming host. I would give this house 10 stars, if I could. Thank you Ana.

We absolutely loved our stay here. Ana is an amazing host and her house was amazing; we were not lacking for anything during our stay. I can't wait to revisit Ottawa so as to stay here again. I would give our stay 6 stars if I were able to. Thank you Ana for a wonderful holiday.

Wonderful home ... Perfect central location to enjoy Ottawa.

As soon as we arrived on property as two couples and opened the door to the house, we all knew we had made the right decision. The house is in a perfect location to enjoy all the sights and museums near Parliament Hill. It was also within walking distance to TD Place Stadium (RedBlacks). The house was super clean, comfortable, and provided every amenity we needed. I can’t count the times we mentioned that Ana has thought of everything a guest would need during their stay. Plus, she was readily available during the week for quick questions and to offer her support. Here’s a hearty “thanks” to Ana for providing us with the perfect accommodation for such a memorable trip to Ottawa with our friends. We are all still in awe of what we experienced during our time in Ottawa. And yes, we have already recommended Ana’s house to other friends and family considering a trip to Ottawa. Ana has certainly raised our bar of expectations for VRBO! Nice done Ana.

Wonderful property centrally located

Our hostess welcomed us warmly and explained every detail of her beautiful property and neighbourhood. The house is lovely and fully equipped. The backyard and balconies are an added bonus. When I had a queation mid-way through our stay, our hostess was immediately available to respond. I highly recommend this property to those wishing to walk to Parliament, museums and downtown shopping. Lots of restaurants nearby too!

Very enjoyable space with great access to downtown Ottawa

Ana is very friendly and thoughtful. Upon checking in, Ana gave us a tour of the place and provided details about her home. We were very pleasantly surprised to see that Ana even had left a few items in the fridge so we didn't immediately have to go to the grocery. It is obvious Ana takes great pride in her home. The house has a pleasant and warm vibe. The decor is as advertised in the photos.

Fantastic place, cozy and lovely neighborhood

We rented this lovely house the first week of June, and enjoyed every minute of our trip. Ana's hospitality, helpfulness and her immaculate home made our trip fantastic! We walked everywhere, quiet neighborhood, coffee on the deck each morning. She has thought of every detail. Wish we could have stayed another week, as there is so much to do! And the location for walking to supermarket, restaurants is about a 10 minute walk. Thank you so much, Ana!!

About the host

Hosted by Ana

Host profile image
Hi, my name is Ana. I am from Spain but have been living in Ottawa for many years. I love the hospitality industry. This is my passion. I will happily welcome you on arrival, show you around the house, and tell you about the neighborhood. I will be available and close-by during your stay. Although I am flexible with the check-in time, which is at Noon, for security reasons, I do not normally accept check-ins later than businees hours.

Why they chose this property

Guests have access to the entire house and back yard. The house is centrally located on a quiet street in Centretown, within walking distance to Parliament Hill, the Byward Market, the Rideau Canal, and all of the amenities of downtown Ottawa.

What makes this property unique

Location and an unique interior design. Unfortunatelly, this open concept design is not ideal for people with mobility issues. The house has many stairways without railings, which makes the house open and modern, but not the best choice for small, or very active children.
