The Sunshine House

We were glad that we had lots planned during our two-night stay at the sunshine house. Although the house has a large living room for guest use, our room was not a comfortable place to hang out. Our bedroom (there are three) was very cold; the walls are paper- thin – and the owners, who live in the building, actually practiced drums for a significant part of one afternoon. There were options for breakfast; we were pretty unimpressed, but they will make custom eggs. We were frustrated with running out of milk for coffee—the owner ran out to get more. That said, coffee is available around the clock with a Keurig type machine. There are no dairy alternatives or half-and-half or cream.

Needs a good cleaning. Bathroom is gross. Don’t mind pets, but the smell was horrible.

We had a very enjoyable experience.

Towels and sheets smell, unclean

Lisa the host is lovely and the check in process was super easy! The room was clean and comfortable and the neighborhood was beautiful and safe.

Room so clean and quiet. We will cone back again.

Lisa provides a clean, comfy & convenient B&B for a visit to Vancouver. A healthy breakfast as well to set one up for a good day. I appreciated her allowing us to 'park' our luggage ahead of the check-in time, as we weren't driving a vehicle.

Great location, nice house, relatively cluttered and cat in house.

I had some meetings at the University of British Columbia (UBC). There aren't many hotels near UBC and the hotels in Downtown Vancouver are rather far from campus. I thus found The Sunshine House on Expedia. It's a Bed-and-Breakfast in a neighborhood suburb (Dunbar, Point Grey, Kitsilano). It's free (street parking) and only a 10-min drive to UBC. So, I decided to take a chance. It's a large 2-story house (and basement) with about 5 guest rooms. The owner/family lives in basement.. The main floor has a few guest rooms and the dining area (where breakfast is served). The 2nd floor has the remaining guest rooms. I enjoyed the congeniality and hospitality of the owner (Lisa). They are helpful without being overly so (i.e. they leave you alone). They place is quiet and clean, the room/bed is comfortable. One is given 2 keys, one for the front door and the other for your room. There's always coffee (Keurig), hot water, and breakfast includes muffins, croissants, juice, etc. Lisa also offers guests eggs. I would definitely stay again and recommend to others. Downtown Vancouver is hectic with lots of traffic and hotel parking is expensive. Unless you really need to be in Downtown and/or require public transportation, The Sunshine House is a great option!

Awesome staying experience, quiet and safety with beautiful sight. Warmly hospitality, exellent breakfast even have home made pumkin congee. Will come again.
