Lovely view of Howe Sound

We are a family of five and we enjoyed our four day stay in this house. It was a charming place with a beautiful view of the Howe Sound. The house was well stocked and had everything that we needed. The beds were very comfortable - even the pull out sofas had good mattresses. Jan was very thorough and helpful in arranging our stay. He let us know about the nearby gondola and we went to the top. We did some hiking and had some amazing views. We were close enough to the town of Squamish to enjoy some nice restaurants and their music festival, but just far enough away that this house was a quiet getaway.

Wish it was my home!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this wonderful home. The place was extremely clean, comfortable and spacious for my family of 6. Don't let the pull out sofas discourage you...they honestly felt like sleeping on my bed at home! I'm sure the view is beautiful...we were only able to see it a bit through the wildfire smoke. Hopefully the winds shift so others can enjoy it! The location was perfect...an easy drive to Vancouver or Whistler. My only regrets are having to leave and living too far to enjoy this home more often!

Amazing stay at wonderful Brittania!

Brittania Beach is an amazing location - and our stay at the property certainly kept pace with experience. Very close to the Brittania mine, we learned about the history of the place at the nearby Mine Museum. We are an active family, so it was a very easy drive to nearby Squamish where we went biking the local trails to Alice Lake, fishing at Browning Lake, boating at Howe Sound and hiking - the latter at the Stawamus Chief! It was very easy communicating with Jan, the property manager - and we certainly enjoyed the spectacular views of the Sound from the balcony. The access to the excellent kitchen allowed us to cook family meals, and the laundry washer/dryer made it very convenient for us. Thank you, Jan! We definitely enjoyed our stay - and look very much forward to visiting the area. And when we do, we hope we can stay again.

Excellent Location / Reasonable Accommodations

Fantastic area with incredible views close to attractions and town services. The unit was comfortable and well equipped. Unfortunately it was not mentioned in any conversation or description of the VRBO that there were three floors in the house with people living there. The manager had mentioned that he lives upstairs above the unit we were in but did not mention that there was another rental unit below us (seven young people were sharing this unit while we were there). Creaking floors and conversations were easily heard from both above and below. Also, the unit and its contents are old and somewhat tired … but still functional. The manger was responsive to our queries and was pleasant.

Thanks for hosting us Jan, we enjoyed our stay at your property. The view from the porch was really nice. Note that this property has a shared entrance with Jan living in the upstairs unit and another tenant in the basement unit, but that had no effect on us. Would come again for the future!

Déçus de la propreté des lieu

Propriété très bien située tout près de Squamish. Vue très impressionnante à partir de la terrasse. Intérieur avec ameublement disparate et vieillot qui aurait besoin de renouveau. Le plus décevant fut la propreté des lieux, la cuisine en particulier. Le four de la cuisinière n’avait pas été nettoyé depuis belle lurette, les portes d’armoires, les murs tachés et collants. La porte d´entrée très sale. Literie et serviettes de bain de piètre qualité, les oreillers durs. Rapport qualité prix décevant. Dommage l’endroit a du potentiel.

Best View in Britannia Beach!

Very clean and lovely apt. Off a side street so safe yet accessible to Squamish. Caretaker went out of his way to see we had what we needed. Would stay here again, for sure. The balcony was where we spent most of the evening. Just lovely!!

Very good place

Jan has a very good place and it's good value for money. Initially we had the impression that this is an independent home and not an apartment within a home. So we had some reservations. But the experience was great. The view was great! And Jan was very helpful all along. If you value your privacy and yet want to enjoy the place- this is a perfect get away. It's an hour from Vancouver and tight smack in the middle of everything that nature has to offer! Good stuff Jan! God bless!!
