Kits Point is surrounded on three sides by the ocean and public parks, yet is just a few minutes from Downtown Vancouver. Everything you need is at your doorstep including specialty shops and world class restaurants and shopping along West 1st and West 4th Avenue.

The parks surrounding "The Point" are home to the Museum of Vancouver, The Macmillan Space Centre, the Vancouver Maritime Museum and gorgeous oceanside parklands including, beachside tennis courts, basketball court and the worlds largest, (115 metre), saltwater swimming pool!

Granville Island with its artists' studios, cafes, bars, restaurants and live theatres is just a 20 minute walk away along the waterfront. Or grab a Bikeshare, just one block away.

Skiing is beautiful at the local mountains: Grouse; Cypress; and Seymour, each a 30-40 minute drive away. Whistler is less than 2 hours away and makes a great day trip.

The house is comfortably and eclectically furnished with everything you need for a relaxed stay, whether you're travelling for work or pleasure.

Watch the world go by as you sip your morning coffee on our beautiful Heritage front porch. Go for a run or a swim, or catch a nearby yoga class.

Explore all the city has to offer and then retreat to our cosy oasis, maybe even to the outdoor soaker tub on the upper back deck.

Enjoy meals on the secluded kitchen deck, surrounded by trees and sky-high black bamboo. Stroll to the beach for the sunset, or watch it from the upper back deck.

On those rainy Vancouver days, curl up by the fire with a good book, enjoy our selection or board games, or watch a flick on the widescreen tv in the family room.

* The neighbourhood is quite lively, especially in the summer, so you are likely to hear both neighbours and visitors to the area in the day and evening. The houses are quite close so noise will travel, but rarely goes too late. We have great neighbours, please respect their space by keeping noise down in the later evenings.

* For those with pet allergies: Although we do not allow pets, please be aware that our cat lives on site when we are home. The house is thoroughly cleaned between guests, but is not completely allergen free.
