Beautiful family home in the Steveston area of Richmond, BC just 10 minutes drive from the Vancouver International Airport and under 30 minutes to Vancouver City Centre. Steveston is an old Japanese fishing village on the water with quaint shops, numerous restaurants, hiking and biking trails, and many tourist type activities like whale watching tours, outdoor markets in the summer, parks and outdoor patios
We are 2 professional adults with a 3 bdrm/2 bath home that we only share with our cat. We are into fitness so have quite a bit of gym equipment you may use. We also have a hot tub on our beautiful back deck and a pool table in the sports room. We are on the transit line so its easy to get around.

Karen was really helpful. I made a same-day booking, and she responded within one hour. Communication was admirable. The accommodation was comfortable, quiet, and very clean; the room faces across fields, and I was treated to a beautiful sunrise.
Very convenient for YVR, especially for early-morning flights. Highly recommended homestay :-)Host reply
Thank you so much Mick for your kind review
How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.
When do I pay?
Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) using a choice of payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal (not available in certain countries). You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.
When can I share my contact details?
Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
