Fitness-friendly holiday rentals in Howe Sound

My girlfriend and I stayed here for a girls weekend. The layout of the unit, the location, the decor and bathrooms were all great. Ubers were easy to get to and from the unit, and it made for a great homebase for us. My only gripe, if I had to find one was the fact that we needed to throw away our own trash at the end of our stay. The trash receptacles are all the way on the first floor behind several doors and a few long corridors, and because our flight was at 8am, we had to account for an extra 20 minutes to bring the trash down, bring our keys back up to the unit, and then head out. Otherwise, the views, location and comfort of the unit made for an excellent first visit in Vancouver.

Great place to stay! Clean, accessible, and Lucy was super helpful when our arrival plans got delayed.

Cory is a wonderful host. His place and his hospitality were among the best we’ve encountered in Vancouver. Instructions were very clear for checkin making the experience easy. Cory was so generous with his space allowing us to feel very much at home. We’d love to return to stay at Cory’s listing in the future!

The hosts were super accommodating to a few requests we had before arrival and even getting us in the home earlier than expected. They were super communicative the whole time and assisted with any questions. Loved all the amenities and even left us a laundry card to do some laundry. Only thing off putting about the place was the surrounding area and maybe we should have done more research, but the homeless population in downtown Vancouver is scary. We watched a lot of homeless people and drug involvement around the streets of the home we stayed in and nearby restaurants.

Excellent host. Meets and greets and shows you around and makes you feel comfortable. Good position for easy access to the transit system. The roof top patio is a stand out feature. Had bbq very evening .

This was our first trip to Vancouver (and in fact our first to Canada) and this apartment was perfect for us. It was incredibly clean, the bed was comfortable, Diana was a superb and responsive host - but it's the location of the apartment which makes this really stand out. It is surrounded by restaurants and bars - and is walking distance of all the main attractions in town. We went on walking tours, visited museums, took a boat to go whale watching (saw humpbacks and orcas!), visited comedy clubs - and ate out every night - all within walking distance of the apartment. It was really superb and if we were staying in town again, we would stay here again. The car park was easy to use, with decent sized spaces - so if you do have a rental car, this is again perfect (we went out to Whistler, and also drove out of town to walk a trail another day). Thinking of booking something in Vancouver? Book this! Oh and did I mention the bed was comfy too!? Thank you Diana, hope to visit again.

We really enjoyed John’s place he had everything we needed. The bed was comfy, the living room was great. The sofa or chair in living room was a bit wobbly on one end but it was all good. The office was so pretty. The kitchen was great we cooked every night! The bathroom was really nice and we were able to take a bath as well. Overall I’d recommend this spot to anyone it’s great!

Fantastic view! Had a great stay. A lot of popular locations are easily accessible by public transportation or a quick uber. Hosts provided recommendations for coffee shops and food nearby and responded quickly to all questions.

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful apartment in the heart of Yaletown, Vancouver! The space was clean, stylish, and exactly as pictured, but the real standout was the stunning view. Waking up to the city skyline and waterfront was such a treat. Everything was incredibly walkable with so many fantastic local restaurants, coffee shops, and boutiques right outside the door. We were in town for a concert, and the location made the entire experience super convenient and fun. The host was friendly, responsive, and provided clear instructions that made check-in and check-out a breeze. You can tell they take pride in their space and in making sure guests have a great experience. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to enjoy Vancouver in style and comfort. Would absolutely stay again!

Great Airbnb. Really lovely hosts that were always happy to help. Clean and tidy.

Davis place is clean and tidy. It is walkable to Chinatown attractions. It is also conveniently located beside a Skytrain station and a big Asian supermarket.

The place is exactly as advertised. Terrific central location. Ez access to Gastown, right by the water for walks or a run. Decent gym, great larger than usual pool. Clean, comfortable. Has a small private office with monitor super easy for work. Very well thought out secure building with a fob system. Our host was super - Responsive, flexible, gave us early check in, touched base during our stay. Well outfitted for a family with young kids , even has toys and games, though we did not have kids! Would stay again

the condo is very clean, well kept, great details and in a very good location. what I did not like was the noise level. although its the 28th floor but the street and metro noise is surprisingly high for such a high floor. I would still go back again to this place as the overall stay was good. also the 3rd br is good for 1 person that is very easy going as it has no windows, no ventilation and no space to walk around. again everything was exactly like the photos so no surprises other than the noise level.

Great spot! Daman addresed any messages quickly from check in to check out. Looked just like the photos, lots of closet space if you're booking for a longer stay, convenient location, safe parking, secure building entry.

Really great apartment. I loved the views from the living room and balcony. Location was perfect too, everything on the door step and 15 min walk to the creek.

Wonderful stay great communication the place is even better then what shows in the pictures thank you very much I recommend 100%

When I read other guests reviews, I could tell that Janet sincerely cared for all of her guests. If you are searching for a home away from home, stop searching because Janet is the GEM in the Sunshine Coast treasure box.

We had a very peaceful time in Squamish, Emily’s home was conveniently located to all, and she was a very responsive host. The house was warm and very welcoming, we found everything we needed. Hoping to come back for a return visit very soon!

Demitri and Jessica’s place was by far the best Airbnb I’ve stayed at! It was in a friendly and quiet neighborhood. 3 min walk to supermarket, 2 min walk to the bus stop, and 10 min drive to downtown Vancouver. Inside their home, you’ve got everything you could think of. The kitchen was fully equipped (I’m talking about different types of coffee maker etc). The interior was very spacious and comfortable for 4 adults. I especially love the thoughtful instructions placed around the house - which saved me time from searching for how things work. Demitri and Jessica put in so much effort running this place. I got multiple messages from them during my stay to make sure our stay was ok. I would 100% recommend staying at their place!

I had an absolutely wonderful stay! The accommodations were clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable experience."

'Hollywood North' is a bit of a misnomer - the home is much more classic, warm and comfortable, with owners who provide timely and helpful communication and assistance. 'West Coast Charm and Grace' might be more descriptive. The cost of the accommodation, though not unsubstantial, was well worth it. We were a group of 9 adults from 2 branches of one family who meet every Thanksgiving to reconnect. The bedrooms, the bathrooms, the 2 living areas, the dining room, the outdoor terrace, the swimming pool and hot tub, the gardens, and the very impressive kitchen all served to make the holiday one we will cherish. Everything you need to make the house your home was supplied - inspired us to stay in and cook as a family a vegetarian Thanksgiving dinner! In short, a beautiful home and great hosts in a lovely setting. Could not ask for more.

We had a great stay at Hubert’s place for 1 week. We stayed here during a multi day family wedding and the location was excellent. This was one of the main reasons we booked. Hubert’s place was only 5 minutes away from the main wedding house and it was close to coffee shops, restaurants and grocery stores. The check in was a bit tricky with trying to get the lock box open but we managed to figure it out. A big draw of the property was the secure parking and security measures in place. We felt really safe in the building. We also did have all the basic necessities in the unit for our stay such as utensils, laundry, and a coffee machine. Hubert was also very quick to respond to any questions I had. Thank you!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay in David and Taylor’s home. The house is very clean and immaculate. The pictures do not do it justice. We were there to celebrate our son’s wedding. The lovely and spacious home allowed our group of 6 to cook meals together and to gather indoors or outdoors in the amazing heated patio area. We also enjoyed the clean hot tub, the lovely Koi Pond and the fire pit. Because there are so many different indoor and outdoor spaces, people could quietly slip away to another area of the home if they wished a few minutes of solitude. The house’s location is perfect and provided easy access to excellent trails for daily hiking and trail running. The well-equipped gym was a bonus. David is an outstanding host. He’s very responsive and worked hard to make sure everything was perfect. He is a wonderful human. We are all so grateful that we had such an amazing family experience. We highly recommend David and Taylor’s North Vancouver home.

We had a family of 5 to stay for 10 days and Nikos’ place was perfect for us! Nikos was always highly responsive and respectful and kind, no matter what we requested. The house is beautiful, well appointed, and very comfortable and clean. No complaints at all. It was nice to be able to walk to the local grocery store and cafe and bakery, and the location near campus was ideal for spending time with our daughter. We very much hope to stay here again when we return next year. Very highly recommended. 😊
