It is worth staying at Sam’s place for the location alone, but there are also many other wonderful things about this place. We had the pleasure of staying there for two weeks and would love to stay there again. Here’s a brief summary:
Location: Incredible. The house is across the street from Kits park and beach. You can sit there all day looking at the ocean and mountains. And the sunsets are spectacular. You can easily access downtown or Granville Island by walking, biking or Uber. Or our personal favourite: by mini ferry boat from the marina museum two blocks away.
House: the house is well furnished with three large bedrooms and two full bathrooms, and it has everything you could need. There are 4 decks. One had a bistro set and was perfect for working. One off the master bedroom upstairs had comfortable outdoor furniture and was great for lounging. And one off the front door had a table for 4 and a bbq. The parking at the house was also very handy.
Host: Sam was very responsive and friendly. He provided helpful suggestions, checked in with us during our stay (by email), was very easy-going and accommodating, and left some lovely touches for our arrival. Definitely a super host.
In short, I would highly recommend Sam’s place!!
