Our Home For Exchange
Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Sea-front home, overlooking bird sanctuary in fishing village south of Vancouver. Our modern house faces west for great sunsets and views from the living area and decks. We have a chef's kitchen where you can cook all the best local seafood and delicacies.
You can BBQ on our large back deck and look at the mountains and sea. Or walk to the village where there are lots of interesting restaurants. In the village you can buy fresh fish right from the boats and visit local artisanal shops. There is a bus from our complex that takes 15 minutes to the end of the high-speed train into downtown Vancouver, where you will find markets, music, museums, galleries and great shopping. Vancouver is a sporting capital in winter - skiing, walking and golf. And in summer - cycling, walking, swimming and sailing.
