We really enjoyed our stay at Deb and Jim's, they were so helpful, responded very quickly to any text, nothing was too much trouble. The accommodation was lovely and very comfortable ( especially the bed), the beach really is across the road and we loved walking along it (a lot of people cycle along its pretty cycle path)
The fridge was full when we arrived (lots of lovely things left out for us to eat) this was great as it meant we didn't need to rush to the shops, which are about a 15 minute walk from the accommodation.
We loved Vancouver, a real joy to explore, you just need to know that the accommodation is a fair way out of the city, so you do need to use the bus system. The important thing about the buses is that if you haven't got a prepaid card or book of tickets they only take the correct fair in coins (make sure you have them on you) the system works on zones and is the same price wherever you travel in that zone, each ticket lasts an hour and a half.
We would recommend Deb and Jim's place for its peace and quiet, comfort and beautiful views.
