Our townhouse is situated across the street from Kitsilano Beach, a popular destination in Vancouver with playground, 137m heated outdoor swimming pool, picnic facilities, free tennis courts, buskers, etc. It is an easy 30 minute walk to downtown Vancouver over the Burrard Street Bridge, or to Granville Island via the Seaside walking and bike trail.
