CHECKIN / CHECKOUT

PARKING

You can park one vehicle in the driveway. You can also park additional vehicles anywhere along East 32nd Avenue. The signs say parking is for residents only, but that means residents and their guests.

ENTRANCE

The code for the front door will be provided at check in.

WIFI

Free WIFI is provided at the house.

HOT TUB

The hot tub is made by Arctic Spas and has seats for six people. It is beautifully nestled under five palm trees.

POOL

Our new pool will be ready in June 2024. The pool will be 17 ft by 15 ft, and have a 4 ft shallow end and a 7 ft deep end. There is a seating bench along the North edge. There is also a shelf around the shallow end that is only 3 feet deep, so the pool is children friendly. There is a pool cover that opens with automatically with a key code and it is safe if anyone accidentally falls on the cover.

PATIO AND FIRE BOWL

Patio cushions are stored under the shed and the patio fire bowl is fueled by natural gas.

ENTERTAINMENT

Our media room draws rave reviews for the 4K projector and 120" screen. The KEF surround speakers and subs are powered by a Yamaha receiver. The leather couch from Lazy Boy is perfect relax and watch a movie. There are five flat panel TV's (living rooms, master bedroom, treadmill and hot tub).

Cable TV with PVR is included, along with streaming services for Netflix, Amazon, Disney, and Crave. A Nintendo Wii and PS3 is also provided.

FITNESS

The media room also has a peloton, treadmill and free weights. There is lots of room to do Yoga or workouts with the Peloton classes.

COMFORT

The mattresses are Sealy Plush Eurotop and are very comfortable. The pillows are goose down and the linens are high quality thread count. The 1st floor couch is a power recliner and the controls are on the side of the couch. The 1st floor coffee table is a lift top that can be used to eat meals on. The 2nd floor coffee table has some toys for kids.

KITCHEN

Upon checkout, please place dirty dishes etc into the dishwasher and turn it on. To clean the glass top stove, please use Vileda scrubber to clean it. Other products may scratch the glass and lead to a damaged stove top. Dish soap is in the left pump bottle and hand soap is in the right pump bottle.

AC (AIR CONDITIONING)

The AC is controlled by white Daiken controllers.

BLINDS

Most of the blinds are powered by the small white remote controllers.

HEATING

The in floor radiant heating is controlled by three Nest thermostats on each floor. There are also two space heaters in the 1st floor laundry closet, and a heated blanket and fans in the ground floor bedroom closet.

RECYCLING

We recycle metal (beer cans, pop cans, soup cans, tuna cans, etc), glass (wine bottles, beer bottles, etc.), Styrofoam (take out containers, shopping packaging, etc.), cardboard (paper, product packaging, etc.) and plastic (pop/juice bottles, take out containers, plastic bags, etc.). Please rinse these items and then place them in the blue bins on the balcony.

COMPOST

We compost all food scraps and food spoiled products (napkins, paper towels, coffee grinds, tea bags, paper take-out bags, etc.). Please place your food scraps in the paper bag in the freezer.

LAUNDRY

There are washers and dryers on both the 1st and 3rd floors. You'll also find laundry detergent, dryer balls, a drying rack, an iron, and an ironing board. Upon check out, it would be appreciated if you placed all used towels and robes in the bathtubs. If you started the washing machine with a load of towels, well that would get a special mention from us in your glowing review!

CLEANLINESS

Before each stay, we wash all the towels and linens, make fresh beds, organize the house, clean up the front yard and back yard, and hire a cleaning company to clean the interior.

If you would like to clean anything yourself, our cleaning supplies are in the mirror closet on the second floor, including: vacuum attachments, mop, broom, latex gloves, cleaning liquids, cleaning brushes, disinfectant wipes, and add cleaning rags (in the wicker basket).

SAFETY

The first aid kit and flashlight are under the washroom sink on the 1st floor. Fire Extinguishers can be found on each floor. In an emergency, call 911.

QUIET HOURS

Please be considerate of the neighbours by keeping noise to a minimum between 9 pm and 8 am.

SECURITY CAMERAS

There are no cameras inside the house. However, we unfortunately had some items go missing after a previous guest, so we now have pictures of all the items in our home, and added security cameras to the three exits in the front yard and back yard. If you are interested in something in my home, we'd be happy to tell you where we got it.

THE NEIGHBOURHOOD

Looking for dinner close by tonight? There are dozens of great restaurants and bars along Main Street, but Season's in the Park is one of our favourites (Queen Elizabeth Park). We also recommend Chaise (between 28th and 29th), Sula Indian Restaurant (Main and 26th) for wonderful Indian food, Sushi Hub (Main and 33rd) is for sushi take out, and Nammos Estiatorio (Fraser and 24th) has really authentic Greek food. The nearest grocery store is Nesters Market, on Main Street between 28th and 29th; the BC Liquor Store is right next to Nesters. If you are looking for coffee or a delicious snack, we highly recommend Breka and it's open 24 hours.

CITY OF VANCOUVER REGULATIONS

The City of Vancouver has banned anyone from renting their properties on short-term booking sites, unless it is their principal residence. As such, there will be a huge reduction in the number of properties available for rent. Fortunately, this is our principal residence and we will only rent it out for less than 50% of the year, so we are approved with the City. Our short-term rental license number is 24-199038.

*The guest suite can be rented out separately for a smaller group/couple. Please check our other listing to book the suite individually.*
