Vancouver is a collection of communities connected by land, bridges and water. There are many approaches to seeing Vancouver but most will want to sample the various neighborhoods for sites and dining. Kit's Beach is a community. It feels like home from the moment you arrive. You have the feel of a home while you are set to explore. You can stay in the area and walk 10 minutes to Yew Street and 4th Street. It's a fabulous area with beach, swimming, pizza, groceries, liquor, seafood and so much more. When you're ready to venture out of the neighborhood it's a 5 minute walk to the Marine Museum where you can pick up the Hop-on/Hop-off bus to explore Granville Island, Yaletown, Gastown, downtown, Stanley Park, Chinatown and more. If you prefer, there are two very small boat ferries that take you to 6-8 destinations. We used both the bus and the ferry along with a couple of taxis and lots of walking to explore one of our new favorite cities. We went high end on dinners and explored the absolutely fantastic Miku and Blue Water restaurants.
If you want a great neighborhood two bedroom home with close access to all of Vancouver's other neighborhoods, this is your location.
