House so close to beach and downtown Vancouver
Private hot tub with big BBQ, outdoor table and heater.
10 minute drive to Grouse mountain (skiing until 10:00 pm every night in winter time)
Outside of the house. Walking distance to everything. 
Bonus: most homes in West Vancouver require a car to go anywhere because they are on a hill. Not this one!

About this property

1181 esplanade ave · Family Retreat with Hot Tub by Beach & Ski Resorts

Summary:
Nestled in a prestigious neighborhood, this stunning house offers an unbeatable location within walking distance of the beach, a shopping mall with high-end boutiques, charming coffee shops, and delectable restaurants.

Unlike many other homes in the area, this house is conveniently situated on level ground, eliminating the need for uphill climbs. You'll feel safe and secure in this peaceful neighborhood, complete with bike trails and scenic seawalks for leisurely strolls.

It's important to note that there is a separate basement suite in the house, completely independent with its own entrance, heating system, and laundry room. The long term tenants are quiet and will not disrupt your peaceful retreat.

The Space:
Inside, you'll discover a true home away from home. As this is my personal residence, I've taken great care to ensure your utmost comfort during your stay.

The fully equipped kitchen boasts all the amenities you need to prepare delicious meals, including a wine fridge, oven, fridge, and coffee maker.

Unwind in the master bedroom (upstairs), where a breathtaking view of the harbor, water, and Stanley Park awaits. The California king bed provides ample space for a restful night's sleep, and a portable air conditioning unit ensures your comfort. Another bedroom offers a queen bed (on the main floor beside a full bathroom) and a delightful harbor view, while two standard-sized bedrooms (upstairs) provide cozy double beds and captivating mountain or harbor vistas.

For guests who value relaxation and outdoor entertainment, the heated back patio features a luxurious hot tub and an invigorating outdoor shower. A great BBQ is provided.

Guest Access:
During your stay, you'll have full access to the entire house, enjoying a private entrance and free parking spots right in front of the property.


The Neighborhood:
Prepare to be enchanted by the prestigious West Vancouver neighborhood of Ambleside. Notably, this house stands out from the rest as it eliminates the need for constant transportation. Your group can enjoy true independence, whether they choose to walk, bike, run, visit the beach, go shopping, grab a coffee, dine at exceptional restaurants, spend time at nearby parks, play tennis, golf, or explore the skate park. The prime location allows you to fully embrace the concept of "location, location, location."
Ambleside Park, located just across the street, offers an array of recreational activities. Skateboarding enthusiasts will be thrilled with the newly renovated skateboard section, while basketball, roller hockey, in-line skating, and bicycling are also popular options. The sandy beaches and lifeguard-monitored swim area provide a safe and enjoyable spot for swimming. Golf enthusiasts can put their skills to the test at the nearby Ambleside Par 3 Golf Course. Additionally, two kids' parks within a 5-minute walk by the ocean guarantee endless fun for the little ones.

Getting Around:
Transportation is a breeze from this well-positioned house. Forget about navigating hilly terrain like other homes in West Vancouver and North Vancouver. Instead, take advantage of the best location to explore the beach, shops, and restaurants on foot. And when you're ready to venture further, downtown Vancouver and Stanley Park are just a short 10-minute car or bus ride away. Bicycling enthusiasts will relish the ease of getting around, and for those seeking thrilling mountain hikes, this house is perfectly situated at the base of the finest trails in Canada. Additionally, Grouse Mountain and Cypress Mountain are a mere 10-minute drive away, while Whistler is within a comfortable 1 hour and 15 minutes by car.
Prepare to indulge in the ultimate West Vancouver experience. Book your stay now and discover the perfect blend of luxury, convenience, and natural beauty that awaits you in this remarkable home.

Fantastic location - fabulous home!
Our family truly enjoyed every aspect of our stay at this home. The house is spacious and had plenty of room for everyone. The location is central to everything within quick walking distance. Yet, the street is quiet and peaceful. The views are lovely. Parking was easy. The hot tub was great! The host is very friendly and responsive. The home is well-equipped with everything you could need. It was the perfect home base for our time in Vancouver. A 5-star experience. We will definitely be back!

Christmas in West Vancouver
Our family of five, including three young adults, thoroughly enjoyed this house and location to relax over Christmas break and explore Vancouver. We had duck hot pot for Christmas dinner at Lao Cai Chinese restaurant--delicious! And we ate and shopped our way through West Vancouver/Ambleside restaurants in the delightful town area as well as the extensive shopping mall a 10-minute walk away. There is an incredible view from the master bedroom upstairs of the Lionsgate bridge and the bay area. Everything was very clean and smart, with some lovely spices, oils and cooking equipment. Even a frother and Nespresso machine. The hot tub is clean and private, surrounded by outdoor seating. The most comfortable mattress is in the room on the left at the top of the stairs to the upstairs. The other three mattresses are not deluxe, but adequate. This is only worth noting if you have back pain; otherwise you'll be just fine. The decor is modern and tasteful, as shown. One more easy chair would be a good addition in the living room, but we carefully moved the chair from the other space into the TV area while we were there. The showers are clean and lovely. The older home is all updated and renovated. We never noticed any noise or evidence of the person living in the basement. We rented bikes and ran around Stanley Park, visited the Aquarium, the library, Chinatown, and walked around Ambleside and the beach. Our host was very responsive and provided lots of information.
