We are a recently retired professional couple with a passion for travel. We love to walk our dog on the local beach and park trails and keep active by walking, kayaking, playing golf, and playing pickleball. One of our favourite activities is exploring British Columbia, and we especially enjoy camping throughout Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast. We have four grown up children (32, 25, 21, 19), who are busy forging their own lives. So now we are ready to travel and are very excited about home exchange possibilities!

Descripción de la casa que ofrecemos en intercambio
Our home is a mid-century, characterful 1700 square foot rancher in a quiet beach community. The house is bright and airy with skylights throughout. There is a large master bedroom with en-suite attached, and another double bedroom with bathroom next door. The living room, kitchen, and dining area are open plan and provide for a range of formal and informal dining styles. A large patio and small garden provide spaces to relax outside next to the water feature and in or out of the jacuzzi.

Descripción de nuestro barrio y la zona en que se encuentra
We live in a quiet family community three blocks from the beach, and yet conveniently located 45-minutes drive from downtown Vancouver and 25 minutes from Vancouver International Airport. The neighbourhood is a lovely mix of young families, dog owners, and empty nesters. Our house is a short walk from the beach, and it is set in a quiet, forested beach community. There are beautiful walking trails from the house that take you alongside Boundary Bay park, which offers beaches, walking trails, biking trails, and sights of migrating birds from all over the world. Bald eagles and herons are common sightings! For amenities, we are five minutes from local shops and eight minutes from a major shopping mall.

Dónde ir y qué hacer mientras se esté en nuestra casa
There are numerous attractions in every direction from our beach home! Downtown Vancouver is just a thirty minute drive and home to lots of fascinating attractions including Granville Island, Stanley Park, Gastown, Robson Street shopping, and Chinatown. Other nearby day trips include whale watching in the picturesque fishing village of Steveston, visiting the Reiffel Bird Sanctuary in Ladner, or exploring the Little Italy on Commercial drive in East Vancouver. In winter, the North Shore mountains (including Cypress Mountain) provide excellent skiing as does the Olympic skiing resort of Whistler, two and half hours drive north. In summer, both Cypress and Whistler provide excellent walking and mountain bike trails. Vancouver Island is easily accessible by ferry (a 12-minute drive) and day trips include Victoria, Butchart Gardens, Sooke and any of the delightful Southern Gulf Islands. The US border is just 30 minutes south with Seattle two and a half hours drive. A little further inland, a four-hour drive allows you to enjoy wine tasting in the many wineries of the Okanagan Valley.
