Fitness-friendly vacation rentals in Howe Sound

I stayed at this apartment from May 18th to June 3rd and had a fantastic experience. The location is excellent — very safe and secure with underground parking that made it easy and worry-free to bring my car. Everything was within easy reach; multiple supermarkets, a shopping mall and both the bus/train station are just minutes away. The apartment itself had everything I needed in terms of amenities and the views were great — I especially loved looking out at Mount Baker from the balcony. It was a peaceful and comfortable place to stay. Gagan, the host was extremely helpful throughout my stay. She responded quickly to all of my questions and provided clear instructions for both check-in and check-out, which made everything smooth and stress-free. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and I would highly recommend.

My girlfriend and I stayed here for a girls weekend. The layout of the unit, the location, the decor and bathrooms were all great. Ubers were easy to get to and from the unit, and it made for a great homebase for us. My only gripe, if I had to find one was the fact that we needed to throw away our own trash at the end of our stay. The trash receptacles are all the way on the first floor behind several doors and a few long corridors, and because our flight was at 8am, we had to account for an extra 20 minutes to bring the trash down, bring our keys back up to the unit, and then head out. Otherwise, the views, location and comfort of the unit made for an excellent first visit in Vancouver.

We had amazing stay at this loft apartment. We felt right at home the moment we stepped through the front door. After a long drive from the Rockies down to Vancouver, it was so nice to be welcomed with a clean, comfortable and spacious apartment. THE BED WAS SO COMFY! We were so, so happy that the last few days of our trip was in such a comfortable bed…I kind of wanted to ship it back home so I could keep it😂 but all jokes aside, we couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Shylo was super responsive and helpful. I was on the lookout for a face wash that isn’t sold in the UK and Shylo was quick to send me a list of shops that were all within walking distance from the apartment for me to pick it up. We really hope to come back one day.

Cory is a wonderful host. His place and his hospitality were among the best we’ve encountered in Vancouver. Instructions were very clear for checkin making the experience easy. Cory was so generous with his space allowing us to feel very much at home. We’d love to return to stay at Cory’s listing in the future!

The hosts were super accommodating to a few requests we had before arrival and even getting us in the home earlier than expected. They were super communicative the whole time and assisted with any questions. Loved all the amenities and even left us a laundry card to do some laundry. Only thing off putting about the place was the surrounding area and maybe we should have done more research, but the homeless population in downtown Vancouver is scary. We watched a lot of homeless people and drug involvement around the streets of the home we stayed in and nearby restaurants.

Excellent host. Meets and greets and shows you around and makes you feel comfortable. Good position for easy access to the transit system. The roof top patio is a stand out feature. Had bbq very evening .

Great location, close to some interesting bars and restaurants, great base for exploring Vancouver, highly recommend

This was our first trip to Vancouver (and in fact our first to Canada) and this apartment was perfect for us. It was incredibly clean, the bed was comfortable, Diana was a superb and responsive host - but it's the location of the apartment which makes this really stand out. It is surrounded by restaurants and bars - and is walking distance of all the main attractions in town. We went on walking tours, visited museums, took a boat to go whale watching (saw humpbacks and orcas!), visited comedy clubs - and ate out every night - all within walking distance of the apartment. It was really superb and if we were staying in town again, we would stay here again. The car park was easy to use, with decent sized spaces - so if you do have a rental car, this is again perfect (we went out to Whistler, and also drove out of town to walk a trail another day). Thinking of booking something in Vancouver? Book this! Oh and did I mention the bed was comfy too!? Thank you Diana, hope to visit again.

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful apartment in the heart of Yaletown, Vancouver! The space was clean, stylish, and exactly as pictured, but the real standout was the stunning view. Waking up to the city skyline and waterfront was such a treat. Everything was incredibly walkable with so many fantastic local restaurants, coffee shops, and boutiques right outside the door. We were in town for a concert, and the location made the entire experience super convenient and fun. The host was friendly, responsive, and provided clear instructions that made check-in and check-out a breeze. You can tell they take pride in their space and in making sure guests have a great experience. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to enjoy Vancouver in style and comfort. Would absolutely stay again!

Great Airbnb. Really lovely hosts that were always happy to help. Clean and tidy.

Davis place is clean and tidy. It is walkable to Chinatown attractions. It is also conveniently located beside a Skytrain station and a big Asian supermarket.

The place is exactly as advertised. Terrific central location. Ez access to Gastown, right by the water for walks or a run. Decent gym, great larger than usual pool. Clean, comfortable. Has a small private office with monitor super easy for work. Very well thought out secure building with a fob system. Our host was super - Responsive, flexible, gave us early check in, touched base during our stay. Well outfitted for a family with young kids , even has toys and games, though we did not have kids! Would stay again

the condo is very clean, well kept, great details and in a very good location. what I did not like was the noise level. although its the 28th floor but the street and metro noise is surprisingly high for such a high floor. I would still go back again to this place as the overall stay was good. also the 3rd br is good for 1 person that is very easy going as it has no windows, no ventilation and no space to walk around. again everything was exactly like the photos so no surprises other than the noise level.

Really great apartment. I loved the views from the living room and balcony. Location was perfect too, everything on the door step and 15 min walk to the creek.

Wonderful stay great communication the place is even better then what shows in the pictures thank you very much I recommend 100%

A fabulous position to enjoy downtown Vancouver for a few days, exactly what was needed. There was no stress. I definitely appreciated the flexibility shown by Andre when I arrived very early. Communication was exemplary.

When I read other guests reviews, I could tell that Janet sincerely cared for all of her guests. If you are searching for a home away from home, stop searching because Janet is the GEM in the Sunshine Coast treasure box.

We had a very peaceful time in Squamish, Emily’s home was conveniently located to all, and she was a very responsive host. The house was warm and very welcoming, we found everything we needed. Hoping to come back for a return visit very soon!

Demitri and Jessica’s place was by far the best Airbnb I’ve stayed at! It was in a friendly and quiet neighborhood. 3 min walk to supermarket, 2 min walk to the bus stop, and 10 min drive to downtown Vancouver. Inside their home, you’ve got everything you could think of. The kitchen was fully equipped (I’m talking about different types of coffee maker etc). The interior was very spacious and comfortable for 4 adults. I especially love the thoughtful instructions placed around the house - which saved me time from searching for how things work. Demitri and Jessica put in so much effort running this place. I got multiple messages from them during my stay to make sure our stay was ok. I would 100% recommend staying at their place!

I had an absolutely wonderful stay! The accommodations were clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable experience."

We stayed here for a week while waiting for our household goods to arrive after a cross-country move, and it was exactly what we needed. The house was clean, spacious, and had more than enough room for our family of six to spread out and settle in for a bit. Communication with Marcellus was great throughout, and he was super accommodating when we needed to extend our stay by a day on short notice. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for a comfortable and well-managed place in Birch Bay.

'Hollywood North' is a bit of a misnomer - the home is much more classic, warm and comfortable, with owners who provide timely and helpful communication and assistance. 'West Coast Charm and Grace' might be more descriptive. The cost of the accommodation, though not unsubstantial, was well worth it. We were a group of 9 adults from 2 branches of one family who meet every Thanksgiving to reconnect. The bedrooms, the bathrooms, the 2 living areas, the dining room, the outdoor terrace, the swimming pool and hot tub, the gardens, and the very impressive kitchen all served to make the holiday one we will cherish. Everything you need to make the house your home was supplied - inspired us to stay in and cook as a family a vegetarian Thanksgiving dinner! In short, a beautiful home and great hosts in a lovely setting. Could not ask for more.

We had a great stay at Hubert’s place for 1 week. We stayed here during a multi day family wedding and the location was excellent. This was one of the main reasons we booked. Hubert’s place was only 5 minutes away from the main wedding house and it was close to coffee shops, restaurants and grocery stores. The check in was a bit tricky with trying to get the lock box open but we managed to figure it out. A big draw of the property was the secure parking and security measures in place. We felt really safe in the building. We also did have all the basic necessities in the unit for our stay such as utensils, laundry, and a coffee machine. Hubert was also very quick to respond to any questions I had. Thank you!

We had a family of 5 to stay for 10 days and Nikos’ place was perfect for us! Nikos was always highly responsive and respectful and kind, no matter what we requested. The house is beautiful, well appointed, and very comfortable and clean. No complaints at all. It was nice to be able to walk to the local grocery store and cafe and bakery, and the location near campus was ideal for spending time with our daughter. We very much hope to stay here again when we return next year. Very highly recommended. 😊
