My wife & I along with our 9-year old twin girls recently visited the Vancouver area & chose Nancy's place as our 'home base' during our stay. That said, here was our takeaway:
HOST: Nancy was fantastic, very responsive & did everything she could to ensure we had an enjoyable stay. Right from our arrival she was very communicative & helpful, answering all of our questions. Awesome job.
LOCATION: Being literally a 2 min. walk from the beach, the area exudes atmosphere. Located 5-10 mins away from all the essentials like groceries, gas, coffee shops & restaurants, in addition to plazas & a big mall with a variety of stores, it was ideal for getting organized. Being just 15 mins from the ferry to Vanc. Island & the airport also 25 minutes away, the home is in a very accessible location. Also being 45 minutes from downtown Vancouver, virtually all of the GVA is very reachable.
ACCOMODATIONS: Upon entering Nancy's place, we were greeted with an immaculately clean place, everything smelling fresh & new. The next thing you will notice is the lovely interior & decor, loving the beach theme throughout, truly making it feel like an escape & capturing the 'sea breeze & salty air' description. With a beautiful harmony of modern & rustic touches, relaxing in the living room in front of the fireplace watching the big screen TV after a day travelling around was a highlight for us. The home also has a fully equipped dine-in kitchen, onsite laundry facilities, 3 streaming TVs & even a private fenced in space out back with firepit to enjoy the quiet solitude. And if thats not enough to impress, there's even a rooftop deck! All said, an incredibly comfortable stay with restful sleeps during all of our 8 nights. None of us wanted to leave when our last day arrived!
GROUNDS: Aside from the convenience of having your own parking space in the driveway, you also have the added bonus of keyless entry. Being located off a quiet street, it is also nice just for a stroll anytime to the beach if the moment strikes.
BOTTOM LINE: If you are seeking a beach accessible home base in the Greater Vancouver area to explore it from a very valuable vantage point, while being virtually right next to the water, Nancy's place will not disappoint. From the super convenient location, ultra comfortable accomodations & great host, my wife & I would return here in a heartbeat. Get out to BC, embrace all that it has to offer, and above all else, stay HERE to do it all.
