Retired couple who have just returned from living in the Caribbean. Chester is an accountant and I am an artist.
We do still spend time in our condo in Anguilla BWI so at times our place in Vancouver is available for non-simultaneous exchanges with the Vancouver place or the Anguilla condo. Our adult son often travels with part of our itinerary.

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Anywhere, anytime, try us.
Our 2 bedroom 4 level condo is very central in the city with city and water views. Two decks, garage, 3 TVs, close to stores, restaurants and sport facilities. We also have a small Volkswagen beetle for exchange.
We are both retired and have had over 80 exchanges though mostly with our property in Anguilla, British West Indies which is a one bedroom condo on the beach which is also available.

We are very glad we could be the 9 days in Anguilla with the warm
weather and the fantastic sea.I am sure we will see each other again either in Paris or Anguilla.

Nutan and Jack -- Toronto Nov 2010
We enjoyed to stay at your's. Thank you to have let us to
discover ANGUILLA.
Brigitte and Andrea Paris July 2010
We arrived this afternoon on Anguilla,
all OK, you have a nice home and the breeze is lovely.
Andrea and Claudia Amsterdam June 2010
We certainly enjoyed our exchange to your two homes in Anguilla. Both places had a lot to offer. The condo in its simplicity made doing things there nice and easy and the swimming pool was terrific. Your home, on the other hand was a wide-open place with lots of room for everyone to relax, enjoy the choice of TV?s, read, play cards, or the swimming pool with a heck of a view from everywhere." Frank Summerland BC August 2008
"We found 2 Sting Rays, one octopus, a couple of flounders, a lobster, a sea turtle, a filefish, a barracuda, schools of pipe fish and countless (probably millions) of little guys schooled against the rocks at Little Bay. Hard to beat the beaches at Shoal Bay and East Shoal Bay. Thanks for the memories." Dwight and Kerry Penticton BC Oct. 2008
What a wonderful place, we have thoroughly enjoyed your place. We have driven all the roads, enjoyed the beaches & went to the tree light up"
John Amhurst NS Nov. 2008
"We have had a wonderful time. Your hospitality and Anguilla were beyond expectation."
Gary Richmond BC March 2009
"Must say I'm suffering withdrawal. For several morning my thought was to get up, make
coffee, open the shutters and sit out on the chaise with my coffee and a good book."
Dawn Vancouver BC May 2009
We spent a few hours at Shoal Bay yesterday morning, including lunch at Gwen's Reggae Cafe (very tasty), and then started this morning off with a nice long dip in Sandy Hill Bay, which felt wonderful. Lovely to be in the ocean at 8am. We've been making good use of the pool as well. The condo is great, the plants are all fine, Derek Vancouver BC June 2009
Looked out at the view for the last time, honestly I could have cried, we had such a lovely vacation in such a lovely spot, fell in love with the tranquility, the beaches the house everything. Again thanks to you both, we feel blessed that we had a trip to Anguilla!
Hans and Margaret Victoria BC July 2009
You will always be welcome in Paris. Sam Paris May 2009
"Thanks for the use of your beautiful home.
Betty and Ray Halifax NS August 2009
"Thanks is not enough. We had an incredible time in Anguilla and are indebted to you?re a lifetime of memories. Your place is lovely and is the island is fabulous"
Peggy and Godfrey Halifax NS September 2009
It was like a dream each morning when we looked over the flowering garden and over the water and the peaks of ST Martin. It was fun to swim the many different beaches.
We are so pleased with our holiday and feel very rejuvenated.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
A lovely residential area of condos and townhouses very close to downtown. You can walk to the centre in 15 minutes or take the skytrain or bus. Close to stores, theatres, coffee houses, restaurants and the ocean. There is a waterfron park just across the street where you can go to the beach, visit Granville Ialand , a local market, eat in charming waterfron restuarants, go kyaking, canoing, ride a bike, take the small ferries into the city centre, visit two community centres and enjoy tennis, exercise, dance and bridge as well as take many walks along the water.
Our place is four stories so not able to accommodate wheelchairs. Our area is very quiet and one of the more neighbourly places in the city. We have a great view of the mountains on the north shore where we can see the skiers at 3 ski areas which is just 20 minutes away, as well as False Creek which has many boats and lots of water sports.
It is a walking, biking city with lots of parks and paths.
