Neighborhood: British Properties / West Vancouver 

This striking mid-century modern bungalow was designed by architect Ned Pratt in 1951, and has been lusciously restored with a few additional flourishes. Golden wood beams on the ceiling are offset by minimal but bold artwork and clean-lined furniture that is just as geometrically pleasing as it is delicious. Persian rugs add warmth and color, and the floor-to-ceiling shelves in the kitchen are an organizer’s dream. Outside, there’s a patio with a small table and seating, and an expansive garden with pops of color from the many different flowers. It’s almost like a private a meadow, depsite the city being minutes away.  

Time Out tip: Nearby, there’s a path to the Capilano River, and a trail that leads through an old growth forest, where you can find the Clevland Dam or Ambleside Beach.

Sleeps: Two. 

Perks: The home’s library that’s filled with architecture-themed books—fitting. 

Price: From $727 CAD per night. Four-night minimum. 

Neighborhood: Deep Cove

Another clean and contemporary home, this open-plan space in the seaside town of Deep Cove is made up of natural materials, from the matching wooden furniture to the clever cinderblock coffee table. Yet despite its hard materials, it still feels incredibly warm. There’s a low-level bed with light, but cushiony bedding and a very cool slate-like stone used as a side table. The bathroom has a vintage standing tub. There’s a small, but stainless-steel kitchen with a modern Smeg fridge, and outside, you get a class view of the mountains and quick access to Deep Cove Park and Parkside Beach. This is where to go to slow down and be more in tune with nature for a day or two (or longer). 

Time Out tip: Stop by Honey Doughnuts & Goodies nearby for the the maple bacon donuts. You’ll thank us later. 

Sleeps: Two.

Neighborhood: Point Grey

A neat, chic lower-level suite designed by architects, this bright home has two bedroom, a full bathroom and a small, but sleek kitchen and dining area. The living room is cozy, with book and a TV, but they serve no purpose when you have the outdoor balcony. Views hit the trifecta, and stretch the city, mountains and sea, while lush trees surround the nearby space. It’s a lovely set-up for families or friends visiting loved ones at University of British Columbia. You’re right by campus, which offers its own supply of great green spaces, and if you feel like ditching school, you’re a 10-minute drive from the beach. 

Time Out tip: You’re a five-minute drive, or short walk to University Boulevard, lively with college students hanging at all the bars, restaurants and cafes. 

Sleeps: Six.
