Welcome to The Skydeck, one of Vancouver’s most unique and incredible vacation rental experiences.
This beautifully styled, two-story penthouse condo exudes elegance and comfort. It has 1625 square feet of interior space, and dramatic 600 sf rooftop patio with private hot tub and stunning views of the city, year-round. The views from the hot tub overlooking the "five sails" Canada Place convention centre & cruise ship terminal, downtown and the North Shore mountains, is unparalleled.
Few places could offer a rooftop patio like this, with a hot tub experience unlike many others around the world. You'll enjoy a phenomenal view while relaxing in the warm water, drink in hand. There is a full outdoor dining table for al fresco meals, and a very comfortable patio sofa set that surrounds the fire table.
From the rooftop patio, the lower balcony, or even the living room and kitchen ...watch the sea planes take off on Burrard Inlet (Vancouver's Harbour), look down on Rogers Arena and BC Place Stadiums, or have a look at the other Vancouver landmarks including: Science World, The Sun Building, Harbour Centre, False Creek, the mountains, or even pick out your room on the cruise ship docked at Canada Place, which you'll be see clear as day from one of two outdoor balconies.
Inside you’ll find a bright living room and spacious kitchen with wrap-around views, cozy stylized bedrooms (with blackout blinds for sleeping & the primary with a 55" Samsung TV wall mounted for watching anything you like in bed), plus 3 bathrooms.
Prior to moving here, my little airbnb was the top ranked property in Vancouver over 100 reviews (some of those reviews are pictured on the listing photos). I'm looking forward to continuing offering local guests here for a concert or hockey game, or those from around the world on , the most comfortable, enjoyable, and memorable stay possible, in this new magical setting. I take your holiday very seriously :)
I have one of the most detailed and curated guidebooks that I share with guests on booking, to help plan your trip or find something new even if you are familiar with the city.
HIGHLIGHTS:

The “Crosstown” neighborhood is just that, connected to Yaletown, False Creek, Gastown, The Granville Street entertainment strip, plus Robson Street and Pacific Centre shopping are all within a few minutes walk or one stop on the train.
-The already mentioned large patio space & fire table and PRIVATE Hot tub.
-A well stocked kitchen, with a large counter area for preparing dinner or drinks with the whole group

EXTRA TOUCHES - these thoughtful touches will make your stay:

I can't wait to welcome you to Vancouver and help you get the most out of your stay while you’re at my place.

Welcome to Vancouver!
BOATING: In the summer months or with enough notice, I offer my guests a discount on my top-rated yacht tour experience, if you'd like to see the city by water, or spend a day dining on one of Vancouver's nearby islands. I am a full licensed and Transport Canada certified charter captain. If booking for the summer months I would advised booking well in advance as the dates fill up very quick through other travel agencies, boat tour companies, and the hotels that use my service.
FINAL NOTES: As Canada's warmest climate, Vancouver (like L.A. in the states for example, and many large urban cities), encounters a significant homeless population. The "Crosstown" area is right downtown and a very safe area, but you will most likely encounter someone who appears homeless or experiencing addiction issues or panhandling around the building. There is 24 hour security at our building that you can phone if there are any issues of concern. And if you are someone bothered by the sight of or interactions with these people, I would recommend looking at the Hotel Vancouver or one of the expensive hotels, although this issue does extend to all of downtown.
Also, please bring your Costco card with you, as the Vancouver store is just across the street outside the back door (across from Rogers Arena)!
