Vacation rentals with beach access in University Endowment Lands

Great location in the middle of downtown, very clean, bed is extremely comfortable & and great view! Nida was very quick to respond to any questions we had. Would stay again.

Lydia's place was great for us! So clean, had everything we needed, perfect location. She's very easy to reach anytime and a lovely person. As noted by others there is construction nearby and ambulances bc of nearby hospital but it's only in the day and we got pretty used to it. It's one of the nicest places we've stayed so unless you need quiet all day and won't be going out I wouldn't hesitate to book this lovely place.

Absolutely loved staying here! It was exactly how she described it. As an artist myself, I loved all the artwork in the apartment. The apartment was spacious and loved having the enclosed terrace for my work space. The apartment has everything one could need, from pots pans, baking dishes to cook, and a coffee machine. I would love to stay here for every work trip if it’s possible.

Really enjoyed my stay at Natasha’s place! Beautiful and very quiet and peaceful. Close to lots of great things to do in Vancouver and she sent a great list of recommendations for restaurants and coffee shops!

My stay at Krystal’s apartment in Vancouver was fantastic! The space was spotless, stylish, and incredibly comfortable. Exactly as shown in the photos, if not better. Krystal was a wonderful host: warm, welcoming, and always quick to respond to any questions. The apartment is in a great location, close to shops, restaurants, and public transit, which made exploring the city super easy. I would absolutely stay here again on my next trip to Vancouver. Thank you, Krystal, for a perfect stay!

Great place and location was perfect. Very clean, lots of space and close to the beach. Would definitely stay again.

We had a wonderful time staying in Ann and David's place in the Kitsilano area. The unit is a 1 bedroom apartment on the ground floor of a house. We heard the other occupants of the house sometimes, but nothing ever too loud, and nothing at night, even over the long weekend. We were very comfortable in the unit. The neighbourhood is in a beautiful and quiet area, close to shops, restaurants and grocery stores. We felt safe as 2 women even when we came back later at night. In addition, it was easy to get around whether on foot, or via the main transit routes on W 4th Ave and Broadway. There seemed to be ample parking on street, if that is how you intend on getting around. We would definitely return to Vancouver, and stay at Ann and David's if possible!

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.

Excellent location and very nice place with lots of natural light

Xia was always responsive to my messages. The location was perfect. There were a lot of restaurants in the walking distance. The room was very spacious and comfortable. There were 2 beds we each had our own bed. The bathroom was clean and the kitchen had ample supplies. Highly recommend this place.

This was a aboslutley beautiful space! The view is breathtaking and the high windows, wood beams and balaconies make the whole thing quite dreamy. There is also a amazing bathtub on the lower floor that overlooks the ocean which was my happy place. They keep the space very clean and well stocked with the key things you may need to make your stay comfortable (shower ammenities, basic kitchen supplies, great towels). I went with my kid, parents, sister and her baby and were quite comfortable with the three bedrooms and large living room/ kitchen. The fireplace made for a cozy atmosphere in the evenings as you watch the sunset and birds flying overhead. It is also convenientily located 5 minutes from the ferry terminal. The only challenging thing for us was that the home is situated immediately against the street and there is no sidewalk to walk with kids/ to the beach etc. There is also no real backyard for kids to run and play in.

The pictures really don’t do justice to how perfect the view is here- it is amazing!! We saw humpback whales jumping not even 200 yards from the deck, truly amazing! Vahid is also a very great and communicative host. He made sure to let us know when wildlife was in the vicinity. Highly recommend a stay here!

Julie’s place was nothing short of fantastic. Beds were comfortable and the place was spotlessly clean. Having two bathrooms was a bonus. There was everything we needed in the kitchen. It was in a very quiet, peaceful area. Overall, it was an excellent stay and I would stay there again.

we had an amazing stay, enjoying the amazing views and all the space and amenities

Wonderful space to relax and explore the local surroundings. The views from all the balconies are stunning, and you can walk to the local restaurants in 15 mins. Very well equipped and spotless on arrival. Our second visit, we hope to return for a third.

Located in a very safe and peaceful neighborhood. Easy access to public transportation but also has lots of street parking available if you have a car. The place was very clean and free of clutter. Host was always quick to respond and they are such a lovely family. I highly recommend this place to someone who loves nature because it is right near Pacific Spirit Park, but also needs close proximity to good restaurants that are on UBC main campus.

Adam and Hanna's apartment provides for a lovely, peaceful stay. It is so close to beautiful parklands. shops, cafes, market and public transport. Also an easy walk to downtown Vancouver if one desired so. The apartment is in a secure and quiet block with lovely garden surroundings. Easy to enter and exit the apartment securely and in private. Adam was very accommodating permitting us to drop off our luggage pre-check in and to store it for a few hours post check-in. This was most helpful to us. This host and the apartment are highly recommended.

We loved our stay at Michy and Jon's! We are a group of two families / friends with two toddlers, and we found the property to be super family friendly and walkable to many fun spots- including a fantastic playground on the seawall, Granville Island, and numerous restaurants and cafes. Michy and Jon were so kind and flexible, even accommodating early/late check-in/out to help our kiddos with nap time. The kids loved their toys on site and having access to a crib and booster seat was so helpful. There are lovely peekaboo mountain views from the top floor, and the place was pristine and comfortable. We would gladly stay there again on a future trip!

Nelson’s place was fantastic! He goes above and beyond to make sure your check in is an easy one. I didn’t realize the location where you picked up the key was a distance away, but if you packed light you’ll be fine (9 minute walk). Thankfully the taxi waited for us and took us straight to his place. The views of the city are amazing and the location cannot be beat. I really hope I find myself back in Vancouver again so I can book his condo.

Had an amazing stay at Kristines place. She was a great communicator, loved the place and its as described. Since its in the hub of Vancouver, we could walk to every place very easily. We will definitely come back and love to stay there. Wish her the best.

Fantastic place, convenient location and supportive, responsive Host. The bed was comfy, the balcony lovely, and the space relaxing and tastefully put together. Thanks, Hannah for making our stay so memorable. Loved it!

Sure! Here’s a polished and enthusiastic Airbnb review you can use or adapt to fit your experience: ⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – Absolutely Perfect Stay! I can’t say enough good things about this apartment! From the moment I arrived, everything exceeded my expectations. The space was spotless, beautifully decorated, and exactly as described (if not better). The bed was incredibly comfortable, the kitchen was well-equipped with everything I needed, and the Wi-Fi was fast and reliable—which was a huge plus since I was working remotely during my stay. The location was ideal—close to great restaurants, public transportation, and local attractions, yet still peaceful and quiet at night. I felt safe and right at home. Our host was outstanding: super friendly, responsive, and went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed. Thoughtful touches like fresh towels, a welcome snack, and local recommendations made all the difference. I would absolutely stay here again and recommend it with

It was an absolute pleasure staying at Mark’s place. Mark was very friendly, responsive and accommodating. He went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and we truly appreciate it. The place itself was clean and private. It had everything to offer. It was truly a home away from home. I highly recommend Mark’s place to anyone visiting Vancouver. We will definitely stay here again next time when we are back! Thanks again for making our stay so enjoyable!

Kash is great host, he replies very quickly to email questions. The apartment is exactly like the photos, and is situated in a great location.....Aquabus over to Granville Island, and False Creek is 2 minutes walk, there is a supermarket, 6/7 minute walk, lots of fresh produce, and also hot food counter, there are couple of restaurants, 2 mins, on harbour front. Can recommend "Au Petit Comptoir" 5/6mins walk. The buses to Canada Place or Stanley Park are a short walk 5/10 mins. The pool, at the apartment complex, is a pleasant addition. We enjoyed our stay.
