About this property

Beautiful Victorian Home - Central Vancouver!

We have advertised this property on VRBO for the past fifteen years, since 2006. We proudly share again the following message.

This home is the owners’ winter residence and is ideal if you want to stay away from commercial properties. The residence occupies about 2000 sq ft on the main and second floors of a four stories legal triplex Victorian Home, and is available from May to October. It can accommodate a small group or up to ten guests with flexible accommodation space and you will be charged only for the number of guests in your party and will have the exclusive use of the residence.
In the house there are 3 bedrooms. Beds are as following:
Bedroom #1: 1 queen bed (double occupancy)
Bedroom #2: 1 queen bed (double occupancy) + 1 single bed
Bedroom #3: 1 queen bed (double occupancy). It can be separated in 2 singles.
Three full size very comfortable cots are available for additional accommodation.
Electrical fans are provided in each room for your comfort during warmer summer time.
The house is located off Broadway and Clark, in a very quiet and tidy homeowner occupied neighborhood.
Centrally located, this residence is two half blocks away from Broadway, a main artery that allows easy connection to UBC University, the beaches and the downtown area on one side and Commercial Avenue, with its famous café and restaurants, on the other side.

It is one block away from Clark, your fastest connection to the airport and to Freeway 99 to Seattle; one block away from 12th Ave, the direct connection to Trans-Canada Highway 1.

The residence retains its original stained glass windows and is furnished with antiques and family heirlooms.
You will relax in the evening breeze on the deck, ready for a candlelight dinner or for a fun barbecue and will enjoy a lovely view of the city and the mountains from the master bedroom and bathroom.
Custom-made beds, two-hundred-counts 100% cotton linen and custom made mattresses will insure you the best comfort while you sleep.
The professional kitchen features custom made cabinets, marble counter top, professional gas stove, fridge, dishwasher, upright freezer, microwave, all the utensils.
In one of the bathrooms you will soak in bubbles floating in the original bear-claw-foot tub.

Dear Sammarco Family,
We have fallen in love with Vancouver!
We loved the house and neighborhood, especially the great parks all around for the kids to enjoy. The house felt very homey and we loved the art work all around.
With having a large family (6 kids) it was so nice to have a home base with room to move about, a kitchen to cook in and great patios to enjoy. We hope to return again sometime!
Thank you!

Sammarco Family,
Thank you for opening your home for us to enjoy. It was great having a 'home' base in a quiet neighborhood (especially travelling with a toddler)! The house (and the nearby park) worked very well for us, and an attraction in itself for our son!
We truly enjoyed your artistic home - what a talented group of people!
We loved the front and back deck! They were our go-to spots when the little guy was napping!!

Dear Sammarco Family,
We so enjoyed making your home our home for our week in Vancouver. Deb and I took trains from Toronto across Canada and met our son Adam and wife Jen here and then daughter Rachel and her boyfriend Dan joined us. We came from Indianapolis, Adam from tampa and Rachel from Tucson. We had a great time. Your neighbourhood is lovely and so close to SkyTrain and many restaurants. That's a workout! Thank again for opening your lovely home. It did some time for those of us over 6'1' to get used t some of the low ceilings, but we stopped banging our heads after a day or two. Ciao,

Dear Sammarco Family,
Thanks for providing such a wonderful 'home' to a group of Australians who came our son's wedding. We were all able to enjoy barbeques on the deck, coffee in the living room & great sleeps in the comfortable beds. We all felt totally at home - enjoyed our walks in the neighbourhood - ready access to the supermarket & SkyTrain. We couldn't have had a better place to spend our time. Thank you

Feines Schmuckstück zwischen Main und Commercial
Bereits in 2019 hatte ich das Privileg in diesem wirklich schönen viktorianischen Haus meine Herbstferien zu verbringen. Auch diesmal war ich wieder rundum begeistert (siehe meine wirklich detaillierte Bewertung dazu in 2019). Ausstattung und Lage sprechen für sich. Das Wetter erlaubte diesmal zudem, daß ich den Porch nutzen konnte – ein Traum. Die Betreuung durch den Angestellten Gerry als auch durch die freundlichen Vermieter selbst war wieder ausgezeichnet. Als an einem Tag die Alarmanlage ausfiel wurde diese noch am selben Tag wieder instandgesetzt. Prima! Die 2 ½ Bäder waren ebenfalls wieder picobello sauber. Gern komme ich wieder vorbei – mein herzlicher Dank geht an die Vermieter Maria und Riccardo.

Gem of a neighborhood!
House is ideal for family or two couples - affordable compared to staying downtown. Neighborhood was delightful! 10-15 min walk to bus and train. Kitchen was well-equipped and bedding comfortable. Gerry checked us in and was very welcoming and easy to reach and Maria, the owner was also quick to reply to questions. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Neat old house in a walkable neighborhood
Great place, we unfortunately were there during a heat wave and being an old character house, there was no aircon. Lots of fans though!! Beds could be more comfortable but otherwise and comfortable house. The manager was fast, prompt and efficient.

About the host

Hosted by Maria

Host profile image
We are two architects, originally from Italy, where we return every year. This is our winter residence in Canada.
When we saw this house, in 1998, we knew we had found the right home for us.

Why they chose this property

The quiet neighbour, the balanced location between two main commercial arteries — Main St and Commercial St — the easy accessibility to downtown, UBC, the beaches, the airport have made this location a perfect choice for us.

What makes this property unique

In addition to the above, we wanted our home to be flexible, organized, comfortable, and to have the beauty and warmth of an historical building.
