Our preference is for non-simultaneous exchanges as we have a summer home, leaving the apartment open from about mid-May to late September. We like to travel to Europe in the spring and fall and to the Sunshine Coast of Australia over Christmas.
Derrick is a retired marketing consultant and Catherine is a retired healthcare professional. Our children would describe us as "fussy". We would never leave a bed unmade or a dirty dish in the sink and we know you will do the same in our home.

Read More...Coming from a semi countryside house in Belgium we enjoyed living in this beautiful flat high up, with beautiful views and within easy reach of the city. The flat was modern, spotless and very practical. We found everything we could possibly need on a holiday + nice neighbours to give us advice. Later in Belgium, we met Derrick and Catherine and found them a sympathetic couple with a good sense of humour and a lot of good stories . Definately a great exchange. Thank you very much !

Read More...Lovely comfortable sunny apartment in tower block only a short stroll to Port Moody shopping and restaurants. The views from the apartment were stunning and the gardens around the tower block excellent for relaxing. Good walking trails in close proximity. Only a short walk to Skytrain public transport providing links to the city, and surrounding greater Vancouver. Skytrain access makes moving around the city easy and convenient. Lovely apartment to relax in, at a greater Vancouver location. Neighbours were so friendly and helpful for newbies.

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
What we love about our home is the wall of windows looking west toward the ocean and the North Shore Mountains. Situated in Port Moody, we are 25 minutes by commuter rail to Waterfront station in downtown Vancouver. Our building sits in Newport Village and everything you need is a short stroll – produce, butcher, fishmonger, a fabulous Italian bakery and deli, several great restaurants and even an Irish pub. Strolling around Burrard inlet in the evening your toughest decision is to choose whether to walk to the beach or the pier – or both? The apartment is a spacious 1400 s.f. with two bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a den. The building has a fitness centre, hot tub, sauna and steam room and is very quiet. Tastefully decorated with a well-stocked kitchen you will enjoy your stay on Canada’s west coast.
