About this house rental
All inquiries are welcome! Ask anything! Please use the "Contact Host" link to inquire about availability, pricing, or more information. Do not rely on the VRBO calendar/calculator as it is not accurate.
We offer only 90+ days accommodations.
This fabulous location can't be beat! Sit on the best beach in Kelowna and easily stroll to downtown. And now that the home has been newly renovated there isn't a finer home in Kelowna to spend your vacation.
Enjoy the large, private sand beach on Okanagan Lake just north of the marina and Wildlife Sanctuary. You and your family will love this! The level lot is safe for kids and seniors. It's rock-free and has shallow water which warms up nicely in our bay.
Calling all nature lovers! We are right next to a wildlife sanctuary, so you can sit on the deck and watch the ospreys, ducks, otters and even deer meander by. This also begins the lovely waterfront boardwalk to downtown. Walk, roller blade or bike to free outdoor concerts, shops and restaurants.
It cannot be stressed enough how special this location is. We are the first house on the first private beach just north of downtown in the Cultural District. We border the wildlife sanctuary and have our own private beach and lake access. Our outdoor toy chest has sand toys, beach balls, bubble makers, beach balls and badminton.
Relax in our tastefully decorated vacation home with expansive windows to take in the view. BBQ and play on our spacious deck and lawn. Our modern kitchen has all the conveniences you need to cook, entertain or revel. The dining table seats eight and the breakfast bar seats four. Outdoor dining is our specialty. Eat in shade or sunlight as you watch the yacht races, then the sunset.
All four bedrooms have queen beds and one has an extra single mattress if needed.
The expansive sundeck wraps around the entire width of the property with 2 sets of patio doors to the great room and another patio door to the master bedroom. However, you may want to end the day at the water's edge watching the sun go down.

It will be hard, if not impossible to find a nicer location for a stay in Kelowna. If you are looking for beach, beautiful sunsets over the lake, walks along the boardwalk, quick hikes/biking up Knox Mountain and a family of deer as your neighbors, look no further. Peace and tranquility abound!
Both Judith and her property manager have been a pleasure to deal with and I hope I am able to rent this house again sometime in the not so distant future. Highly recommended.

We were in town for a family wedding and lucked out finding this beautiful beach house. It was close to everything and was the perfect place to relax with family. The toys and games available for the kids made it easy to keep them entertained. Would definitely come back!

We really enjoyed our stay at the beach house. We travelled with our two small children, 5 and 7. They really enjoyed playing on the large beach and swimming in the private waterfront area. The house was nicely updated and had everything we needed. The view was amazing. We liked that it was so close to the boardwalk and Marina. We also really enjoyed watching the different wildlife show up everyday. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful beachfront house in prime location.
The house is perfect for a family or small group. Has a very large living room/kitchen/dining area that opens onto a big deck right on the beach. The stay was great and exceeded our expectations.

Amazing place!
This place is not only a great location, but it had everything we could ask for, being a family of 4. We have 2 kids, one is 3 and one is 1. The kids played on the beach for hours at a time with several beach toys. Did I mention that we saw a deer strolling on the beach in front of us nearly every day?! So beautiful. Both Kim and Judy were great communicators and were there to answer any questions that came up. We will be booking again next year!

Beautiful home and the location was great!
Judith and Kim were absolutely amazing to deal with. The home was nice and clean, perfect location and walking distance to all download attractions, lots to take in and do. The only disappointment was the beach area, lots of duck droppings and not swimmable but great for paddle boards, canoes or kayaks. You could walk out past the point to swim but not ideal with small children. The sand area was great and lots of room to play.

Luxe trip with private beach
Great location for relaxing and the sights. We had a Large private beach and a Grassy area for playing games. We had two young kids with us and there weren’t as many toys as advertised and wished we had brought more from home. The water in the bay has a lot of seaweed so not pleasant to swim but was great for floaties and for taking out the kayak. The house was lovely with a nice big kitchen where we had most meals. There are lots of creaks And sound transfer in the house so if it’s a big group with different Wake/sleep times I suggest earplugs. We would have booked for next year immediately of weekly rentals were still allowed. Great trip and worth the $$

Our group of five enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this spot. The house was perfectly set up with all the amenities. It is exactly as described. The beach was lovely and it was incredible to see all the birds from the bird sanctuary next door. The owner and property manager were extremely responsive to any concerns. The only negative was the group of “party animals” partying next door using foul language and yelling till 2 am. This occurred on 3 nights after the parents had left for the week. Regrettably, we did not say anything to the property manager. He mentioned he would have dealt with it right away had we let him know.I trust he would have managed the situation and in hindsight we wish we had said something. That is the only reason we rated neighbourhood a 4 instead of 5.

Fantastic Getaway
This is a gorgeous property on the lake and near downtown Kelowna, right beside a nature preserve and with a private beach. The house is a little older but well cared for, with lovely furniture in the great room overlooking the lake. Everything we needed in the kitchen was there, plus games and books.
The main draw for us was the privacy and ability to spend our time on the water and reading beachside, and it did not disappoint. Being an easy 15 minute walk to the ice cream shops and restaurants downtown was fabulous. Look forward to being able to return!

An oasis in the city of Kelowna
Location was wonderful. Located next to a wildlife sanctuary we saw deer in the yard everyday, watched osprey feeding their young baby ducklings and even an otter. Beach was perfect for two youngsters- sandy, large and very private. House was comfortable and had all the amenities. The house sump pump was very loud but thy undertook measures to fix while we were still there so quite sure the issue will be resolved Overall very lovely holiday

Great stay! Great location!
Judith was very lovely to deal with, and we had an amazing stay. The house is very close to all amenities and a waterfront walk.
We watched a deer every morning feeding beside the house and even watched a turtle lay her eggs in front of the property on the beach!!

The property is very well located, in a quiet block but close to everything you could need. The private beach and easy access to walking trails can’t be beat. The house was clean and had all the essentials for a very relaxing holiday. Highly recommended!

Family visit Sept 2019
Selected this property over others after a friend in Kelowna drove by to have a look and said he couldn't think of a more perfect spot. Easy walk to shops, food, bars etc. Everything for a family of eight plus 15 month old grandson. House was stocked with living essentials, toys, even a kayak. Fill the fridge with what you want and you are home. Handyman and cleaner are available if needed and check up during the stay to make sure everything is as expected. Everyone had a great time and were happy this was the place we selected. Will go back again. Thanks Judith for helping us create more family memories.

We had a terrific time. Home is well suited for large family and great location.
We had a great time with six adults and two children across the Christmas holiday season. We ski’d at Big White half the time and toured the sites of Kelowna for the remaing time so home’s location was well suited to our needs. Short walk to downtown and not too far for daily trips to Big White.

The Beach House
The beach house is in a great location, the living room/kitchen and outdoor space are all amazing. There are four comfy beds and two full baths that make this place easy to share. If I visit Kelowna again this would be my first option!

Great Family Vacation
My husband, our two young children (4 and 2), my mother-in-law, and our older Aunt (visiting from the UK) stayed for two weeks in September 2015; prior to the renovation. Without the renovations we all enjoyed ourselves. The kids loved the beach and water. There was lots of beach toys, bikes, wagons, and even a kayak. We spent all day most days in the backyard on the beach - the shallow water was great for younger children. The kids loved watching the deer run across the back during breakfast, and making s'mores after the sun went down over the fire pit. We loved the convenience of having the beach in the backyard. So private! The rooms were spacious and everyone had enough room to move. We were close enough to downtown that my husband and I could sneak away for dinner - everything was walking distance. The only improvements I would comment on was the state of the floors and bathrooms, however that appears to have been resolved; and since the home is right beside the bird sanctuary the beach could have used a good rake. We have plans to return again. The owner was also great to communicate with and very accommodating.

Wonderful rental for a June (or anytime) visit
We had the best time at the beach house with our little family. We have three little boys they were aged 5 and under when we visited. We stayed for a month while my husband worked at the hospital. He could ride his bike there within 15 minutes. My children loved the beach and the shallow bay. It was very private and was close to all the amenities. we could walk to the parks and along the boardwalk. We loved the wildlife marsh next door. One night we had two beavers come right up onto our beach. It was amazing. The house was well equipped with everything we needed and the housekeeper was easy to get ahold of with questions. They had some bikes in the garage and a kayak we loved to use. A great place to stay and we had the best month. Couldn't recommend it more!
