About this house rental

Private Entrance, Foyer, and Deck

Why stay in a hotel when you can have your kids, grandkids, and friends come to you.

This 1650 sq.ft. bungalow is across the street from South Glenmore Park on the Glenmore Reservoir. Walking trails, kids water park, the Calgary Sailing Club, and more make this an excellent home for a short visit here in Calgary. There is even a superb little kids park just 4 houses south of here for entertaining the wee ones. Also near by is Heritage Park, and Southland Leisure Centre with its featured wave pool, water slides, and a wading pool for the very young.


Close to RockyView Hospital, Starbucks, Safeway and Co-Op for groceries, and a local pub for pints or pub food. Numerous close by restaurants, and close to the Glenmore Sailing Club, Calgary Stampede, Chinook Mall and South Centre Mall.

Rental is for main floor of house, with sole access and control by our guests.
The owner's suite is downstairs, completely separate and walled off from the upstairs.
The only common area is the landing at the back door, resulting in rare but occasional interaction with our guests.

This was a wonderful place to stay as adult family to host our extended family and grandchildren between wedding events. Great central location that accommodated walking, children's play equipment and plenty of privacy and room for everyone.

We needed a VRBO close to our condo undergoing renovations. We were entertaining guests as well..This unit was close by.Very conveniently located. The owner is very accommodating and allowed us to check in early and even allowed us to book an extra day as our contractor did not want us in our condo. The dishwasher broke in our stay and the owner replaced it the next day ..he even gave us a gift card at a local store. He did not have to do that…but it was much appreciated by us for a limited inconvenience.I thought that if anything went wrong in this VRBO the owner would react quickly.The art work in the home is a freebie as the owner’s father was a world class artist.. the art is virtually everywhere in the home ..almost like a museum in some respects..Well done Marty..We would book this VRBO again without hesitation.

Booked this for my family, who were up for a wedding. So impressed with everything about our experience... The location is easy to get to, but right across the road from South Glenmore Park. The house itself was clean, modern, and decorated with a variety of gorgeous art. Property manager was easy to get a hold of and very helpful as my family set up wifi. Would absolutely book again!

The artwork in this home is stunning and by a renowned Canadian artist. The owner was very helpful in figuring out how to accommodate our 2 teardrop trailers. The living room and family room are very nice as are the other rooms. A huge park is right across the street. So nice for walking. The house is not air conditioned but stayed cool enough by keeping curtains shut during the day and opening windows in the evening when it cools down. I’d definitely come back.

House is fully equipped and located in a great area. Lots of space for 6 of us. The owners live in the basement and we never heard or saw them once but they were available if we needed them. Would stay again.
