    —Is This the Right Stay for You?

    As former home exchange hosts, we welcome families and groups who are looking for "a home away from home" with the mindset of treating it as they would their own, including neighbours and a few basic house rules, like garbage and recycling guidelines.

    If you prefer a hotel-style experience with 24-hour service or a rental-only property, this may not be the right fit—but if you're looking for a warm, well-stocked family home with incredible amenities in Vancouver's premium neighborhood, we would love to host you!

    We encourage guests to ask plenty of questions before booking so we can ensure our home is the right fit for you.

    Reach out with any questions—we look forward to welcoming you!

    [Monthly stays: Bookings of 27 days or longer qualify for a refund of the 11 percent tax automatically charged at checkout]
