Read More...What a fabulous condo RIGHT AT COAL HARBOR!!! The deck was our haven-we watched cruise ships come and go, ferries, water taxis, float planes, and people..... The home is so comfortable and perfect to be in. The pool and hot tub were an added bonus. We were able to ride the bikes that were left for us on the seawall over to Kitsilano Beach and beyond. We never had a slow day with so much to see and do. The two nights of fireworks were an added treat. It was hard to leave!!!

Read More...Thank You to Maureen and James for agreeing to this magnificent exchange. Their home was very welcoming and comfortable and we could have looked at the view all day and not get bored. In a very central position with some very tempting cafes and restaurants within a short distance. The swimming pool - well what can we say, apart from the fact my swimming improved a lot. we spent so much time in the pool. Morgan loved the jacuzzi.
