The location of this beautiful property couldn't have been better. Food and gas one minute away. Downtown with shopping, casual dining and pubs to the left and sightseeig to the right. There are several spaces in the home and on the property that accommodate up to 8 people (or more) whether eating, playing games or just relaxing. Always someplace where solitude could be found. Kittens were a great touch of whimsy and fun. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to a wonderful host for letting us enjoy ourselves in such a beautiful setting. We sure hope to make it back again.

This was our second stay at this property, and it was just as comfortable and convenient this year as last. We were greeted with a lovely welcome by way of a bottle of wine, a selection of cheese, crackers, and grapes. What a wonderful way to begin our stay! Josie provides for every need - there is more than enough bedding, towels, dish wares, and basic cooking and laundry supplies. And there is room to spare! We were four adults, two children, and two dogs, and we never felt crowded. In fact I often had to go looking for one or another of us as people settles in to cozy corners with a book or electronic device and grabbed some quiet time! Although the wildfires did make for smoky skies, we were still able to enjoy the lake, the beach, Rattlesnake Canyon, Nk’Mip, shopping on Main Street, coffees at Jojo’s, and ice creams at Scoopsies. We look forward to our next visit toOsoyoos, and (we hope) another stay with Josie!

Love this character home. Every detail taken care of; all the little details you'd every want in a vacation property are there - plus things you didn't even know you wanted! - all conveniently situated and well thought out. Nothing like having your coffee on the deck overlooking the beautiful green yard in the morning. Perfect family getaway home located centrally. 2nd time we've stayed there and we'll likely book again. Very responsive property manager is also much appreciated.

This was our second stay at the house and we absolutely love it. The house is very comfortable, spacious, and extremely well stocked. This feels like home, not a rental, which is pretty rare nowadays! The property is beautiful and the location is great. Josi has always been a pleasure to deal with, we look forward to staying again in the future.

Always very enjoyable Thank you

We enjoyed our 7th stay at this vacation home. Happy to come back every time!

Casa Kocen is a dream to stay in. We have stayed here twice, and always feel like it is home. Every amenity that you think you need, they have. All you need is your clothes and food.. that's it!! The air conditioning is a much needed and loved feature, the outside deck is always well used, and the back yard is absolutely breathtaking (hot in the afternoon, but morning and evening are wonderful). Josi is wonderful to deal with, always accommodating! We will be back :)

Very relaxing - easy access to everything. Loved sitting on the back veranda & looking at the views.

Upon checking in we were asked To feed a stray cat with kittens that has been adopted after we paid our deposit. The first night the house smelled Heavily of cigarette smoke and the suggested remedy was smoke masking Spray which was available and which had likely worn off. The remedy was a $400 hepa filter which we purchased. On Christmas Eve the lower floor which I used as my office was flooded due as the water supply to the outside hose has been let on. We contacted the hosts and gladly assisted in mitigating the situation until they could address it. On New Years Day they came with an insurance adjuster and then informed us of their intent to renovate immediately, that it would be noisy and dirty and that we “better find another place to live” this all amid recovering from COVID. We received no apology, no offer of any fiscal recognition of the inconvenience of having to immediately find a four month rental in a competitive market which suited our needs or any relocation expenses. We could not find a property but an excellent property management company came to our assistance. However, we needed to relocate to a community 2 hours away that is more expensive and will not be spending the winter with friends as planned.

If your looking for a vacation home in Osoyoos, I would highly recommend this property. Spacious, clean, nice location & a beautiful green space for the back yard ( cannot stress how beautiful this yard is) Tons of fruits and veggies in the the yard that the host graciously shares with her guests. The home was stocked with everything you could possibly need & this is so helpful when traveling with small children. I wouldn't second guess booking this property and hope we have the pleasure to re visit Josi's family vacation home. Thanks Josi for a beautiful vacation :)

Our stay was beyond amazing. The yard was spectacular with lots of greenery. Fresh veggies and fruit in the garden. Was a relaxing stay away from home but felt the comfort of home. Josi was very responsive with any questions. Highly recommended A+++++++++

This place exceeded our expectations. Nostalgic 70’s style with charm and convenience. Wonderful yard and really cool hangout balcony. Little extras offered everywhere and I sware, every time I thought I had forgotten something from home, this place had it. We’ll probably search for this house again next year as it was really quite perfect for our family. Great spot!

What a wonderful property! The house is spacious, and the owners have thought of, and provided, absolutely everything you could possibly need. You could come with just your packed suitcase, and have a perfect beach holiday! The large yard is securely fenced - totally kid and pet friendly, with room to play! A delightful surprise was the raised bed garden with lettuce, tomatoes, kale, and Swiss chard. While we were there, one variety of plum was available in abundance. Our party consisted of four adults, two children, and two dogs.everyone agreed that we would book it again. A great big 5 star rating from this satisfied gang!

Lovely place to stay. Gracious, responsive host, spacious, clean and comfortable home, well equipped with everything we could possibly need. Highly recommended

Josi was terrific to deal with and the property was fantastic. Clean, comfortable and extremely well stocked. The outdoor space is wonderful, lots of attention to detail here! There is ample parking and the location is great too. We enjoyed the stay so much that we booked again for next year! Looking forward to it.

We had a most enjoyable time at Casa Kocen. Everything that a vacationer would need is at one's fingertips; from the kitchen blender, tons' of dishes, and all the essentials ( like toilet paper and detergent ) to vegetables and fruits growing in the garden.. A place to which we return again and again.

This is a very nice property with a very good host. The home & gardens& location work very well for use & we appreciate having a dog friendly place to stay. 5 star.

Josi was fantastic great host with a very nice property definitely recommend this to anyone that wants time away.

The property is very clean with beautiful backyard. The owner has made sure we feel at home and has provided every single thing we might of needed during our stay 😊

This is the second time that we have stayed in this house. It is very conveniently located and has everything that we need and more. The yard is beautiful and we spent a lot of time on the spacious deck. It feels like home and I’m sure we will be back again! Thank you Josi for sharing your home with us.

The home is beautiful and the yard and balcony are stunning. It’s a quiet neighborhood that is an easy 15 min walk from downtown and the beach. Also close to grocery store. The issue we encountered is that it was once a smoking house so it smelled of cigarettes. This was very disappointing as we are sensitive to this and never would have rented here if we knew beforehand. We did message the owner who, I have to say, was very quick to come by and put diffusers around the house in a effort to mask the smell. This did help somewhat but of course the smell of cigarettes is difficult to get rid of. If you are sensitive to this smell, you may want to consider another property. Otherwise the house was well-equipped and as advertised.

The property and home are "Mint!" very comfy and cozy. Our group of 5 had tons of room and privacy when required. The outdoor space is amazing, the covered side deck is large and priceless, perfect to kick back , relax, and let the Osoyoos Breeze magically take you away. We spend a lot of time out doors. Everything was spectacular, We llok forward to staying again

This was our 2nd year and we hope to be there next year as well.

This was our second time staying. We enjoyed our stay. The property is in a convenient location, spacious and well equipped. Would highly recommend.

this was a vacation that the whole family enjoyed. The only thing that marred our stay was the smoke from the wild fires in the valley..

This property has everything we needed for our summer stay. Highlights include spacious back yard, lovely herb garden. Rear outdoor BBQ area is nice as is the covered side deck. A/C works.

There are not enough superlatives to express our appreciation for being able to stay in this home away from home. So many magic touches, care and thoughtfulness evident in every nook and cranny plus an incredibly gracious , extremely competent and highly professional host.

We loved this place! There was an abundance of room for 6 adults and It was stocked with everything we needed. The beautiful large deck and backyard were the highlights and we spent most of our time there. We would definitely book here again.

Awesome.

We wanted to celebrate my dads birthday as a family and had a fabulous time in Osoyoos! The house was perfect for us! Great yard! Close to everything!! Fabulous deck and the owners were lovely! Would highly recommend this home for anyone wanting to enjoy Osoyoos!

We enjoyed our stay. Josi was easily reached and replied promptly. The house is spacious and very well equipped. Lots of sitting areas outside. The backyard is beautiful. The location is excellent, on a quiet street near stores, beach, etc. Only thing, and this was totally our fault, my husbands bike was stolen. He got lazy and left it out front without locking it. The neighbourhood is totally safe. A neighbour mentioned that there are drifters that come to osoyoos during summer time and look for easy things to take. We would recommend and would definitely go back.

The house was spacious, very clean and the kitchen was equipped with everything you could possibly need or imagine. The patio was wonderful for our late evening dinners and board games and to take shelter from the sun and heat. The garden was absolutely beautiful and relaxing. We can't wait to be back and will recommend this place to our friends and family. Thank you Josie for sharing your home with us and for the welcome platter. Best
