About this house rental
Welcome to your own private oasis in the Southlands/Kerrisdale area of Vancouver. This stunning contemporary home, designed by architect Leland Dadson, is surrounded by lush, landscaped grounds with an outdoor pool (heated June through September), two BBQs, and two hot tubs. Enjoy a wide open main floor plan with floor to ceiling windows that retract to allow true indoor/outdoor living. Welcome to your dream home away from home!
There are heated concrete floors throughout the house and three indoor gas fireplaces, as well as two outdoor BBQs - one just off the kitchen and another on the pool deck. The gourmet kitchen has double islands and Wolf and Sub Zero appliances. Musicians will enjoy the baby grand piano.
The back yard offers complete privacy with lush landscaping. The swimming pool is large, deep, and heated to a heavenly 88F all summer (June-September). It has an integrated hot tub (separate from the hot tub off of the master bedroom). The cedar deck surrounding the pool was built in 2021. There is a lounge set with outdoor fireplace on the pool deck, along with two outdoor dining areas.
The master bedroom is on the main level with a sumptuous ensuite with a private patio and 8-person hot tub overlooking the gardens. Also on the main floor is the office, which includes a custom wood desk, office chair, and laster printer. This room doubles as a guest bedroom with a comfortable memory foam queen sofabed.
The light-filled loft over the living room is open to the area below. This space is wonderful for watching TV as a group, reading, or playing games. There is a desk and office chair in the loft, which offers a second formal work space.
The lower level has three bedrooms, one with a private ensuite bathroom, TV, and patio area. Each room includes a queen bed and small desk. The lower level also contains a media room, which includes a massage chair, pinball machine, TV, and double sofabed.
We fell in love with this property the moment we set foot in it. We love the light, the mixture of concrete, wood and metal, the privacy, and, of course, the fabulous private backyard with a swimming pool and hot tub. We feel confident that you will love it, too.
Southlands is part of the leafy Kerrisdale neighbourhood of Vancouver. It is like being in the countryside - right in the heart of Vancouver! You can stroll to Southlands Farm to visit the horses or shop at the weekend market, walk along the Fraser River and watch tug boats and and flocks of birds, golf at one of the neighbouring golf courses, or drive/walk/bus into nearby Kerrisdale or Dunbar for all of your shopping needs.
Kerrisdale and Dunbar have excellent grocery stores, cafes, restaurants, and local shops. Our home is an 8-minute drive to UBC and a 15-minute drive to downtown. We have parking for up to four cars in our driveway, as well as plenty of on-street parking. If you prefer to take transit, we are a 2-minute walk to the #49 bus, which will take you to UBC or to the Canada Line, which has train access to the airport or downtown. We are a 10-minute walk from the #2 bus, which will take you to downtown via Kitsilano.
You'll have exclusive access to the house and back yard. The back yard is extremely private with cedar hedges and wonderful trees and plantings.
NOTE: We are currently accepting monthly rentals (i.e. 30+ nights).

We had an amazing stay at Bronwen’s home! We can’t emphasize enough how beautifully and thoughtfully the house and property are designed. Lovely trees and plants surround you in every corner, providing both privacy and a sense of seclusion despite being right in Vancouver. The location is in a very nice corner of Vancouver that keeps you away from the bustle of the city, but with all the amenities within easy reach. The house itself is very large and comfortably held our families, with great entertaining spaces where we could all be together as well as separate private areas. The house is very well stocked with high quality products throughout, and the kitchen was fantastic to work in. We only wish someone in our party could play the piano! Bronwen was very accessible and helpful when needed. Oh, and the pool is as fantastic as the pictures show!

We loved our stay, the property was beautiful, clean and well appointed. The backyard oasis with very large heated pool was spectacular and we had a lovely time swimming and playing in the pool.
All communication with the owners was flawless and very friendly. When we had a question they responded promptly and it was a pleasure talking to them.
We will come and stay here again!

The ultimate comfort experience.
From the moment you walk in, you feel at home. Warm, welcoming heated floors lead you to an oversized fireplace with comfortable seating for an evening of relaxation.
The heated pool gives you a start to the day that can only be described as invigorating. An ideal venue for a visit from friends, the pool has bountiful areas for socializing in a relaxed environment.
A truly wonderful experience!

A Vancouver Oasis
We found an oasis here in Southlands in Vancouver. Private, heavily treed, this uniquely-designed house was just what we had hoped for. My daughters were thrilled with the number of horse farms in the area. And a walk along the Fraser River is only a short walk away. Yet this is in the central Kerrisdale area of the city! I couldn’t believe it. The house is very comfortable, private and spacious with a great kitchen that allows for group cooking. I had to pry the girls out of the lovely pool when we were trying to leave. We’d love to come back!
