The space
Welcome to The Skydeck, one of Vancouver’s most unique and incredible vacation rental experiences.
This beautifully styled, two-story penthouse condo exudes elegance and comfort. It has 1625 square feet of interior space, and dramatic 600 sf rooftop patio with private hot tub and stunning views of the city, year-round. The views from the hot tub overlooking the "five sails" Canada Place convention centre & cruise ship terminal, downtown and the North Shore mountains, is unparalleled.
Few places could offer a rooftop patio like this, with a hot tub experience unlike many others around the world. You'll enjoy a phenomenal view while relaxing in the warm water, drink in hand. There is also a full outdoor dining table for al fresco meals, and a very comfortable patio sofa set that surrounds the fire table, available year round, plus a lounger for sun tanning during the summer months.
From the rooftop patio, the lower balcony, or even the living room and kitchen ...watch the sea planes take off on Burrard Inlet (Vancouver's Harbour), look down on Rogers Arena and BC Place Stadiums, or have a look at the other Vancouver landmarks including: Science World, The Sun Building, Harbour Centre, False Creek, the mountains, or even pick out your room on the cruise ship docked at Canada Place, which you'll be see clear as day from one of two outdoor balconies.
Inside, you’ll find a bright living room and spacious kitchen with wrap-around views, cozy stylized bedrooms (with blackout blinds for sleeping & the primary with a 55" Samsung TV wall mounted for watching anything you like in bed), plus 3 bathrooms.
Whether you are from around BC and here for a concert or hockey game, or travelling from around the world on, I hope to offer your the most comfortable, enjoyable, and memorable stay possible, in this magical setting. I take your holiday very seriously :)
I have one of the most detailed and curated guidebooks that I share with guests on booking, to help plan your trip or find something new even if you are familiar with the city.
HIGHLIGHTS:
-One of the best locations in Downtown Vancouver (or THE best if you are coming for a concert, event, or Canucks game), central to it all in the Stadium district. The “Crosstown” neighborhood is just that, connected to Yaletown, False Creek, Gastown, The Granville Street entertainment strip, plus Robson Street and Pacific Centre shopping are all within a few minutes walk or one stop on the train.
-The already mentioned large patio space & fire table and PRIVATE Hot tub.
-A well stocked kitchen, with a large counter area for preparing dinner or drinks with the whole group
-Built in air condition in each room to keep the place cool in the summer!
-There is also a shared complex pool/hot tub/gym amenities.
AMENITIES - The España complex has better than hotel level amenities:
-a shared pool and hot tub, right downstairs from my suite.
*Pool Hours are 6am - Midnight daily, with a one hour closure for maintenance between 10-11am.
-a fitness centre/gym (excellent weight room), again right downstairs.
-24 hour security on site.
-a very pleasant guest/resident only interior courtyard with water features.
-a children's playroom stocked with toys, and loads of room to run around!
SLEEPING (up to 6 people)
-(2) New California king-sized DreamLife Cascade mattress (What the Whistler hotels order) plush pillow-top in the primary bedroom sleeps two.
-(2) Queen-sized Beautyrest mattress in the second bedroom sleeps two.
-(2) Sofa-bed (queen-sized) in the living room sleeps up to two.
FAMILY / INFANTS: This is the perfect place for a young family to come and enjoy the set up. I provide a folding "pack and play" crib with mattress pad for the crip. Please note the only bedding NOT provided is baby blankets (due to liability and mess), so parents please bring your own. I also provide a child cup, dish and cutlery set.
WORKING?
High-Speed Telus fibre optic internet throughout the suite with a booster in the upper primary bedroom (that also boosts onto the patio).
EXTRA TOUCHES - these thoughtful touches will make your stay:
-Stainless steel Keurig coffee maker to start your day off right. I provide a few K-Cups to get you started but bring more if you are here for a longer stay or really like your coffee! A drip maker if you prefer to bring your own ground coffee.
-All pillows and mattresses have a high quality protector/encasement underneath the sheet set. The main beds have both an encasement and a top protector, in addition to the sheets.
-Wireless phone chargers on each side of the beds - no looking around for the outlet, just lay your phone down on the pad before you sleep. Another 6 port wireless charging station in the living room for all other guests and devices.
-4K TV and cable - watch live news or big sports game (many local Airbnb's do not have regular cable)
-Blackout blinds in both bedrooms, as well as high quality shades in the living room, so you can actually sleep in and have any amount of privacy you want.
I can't wait to welcome you to Vancouver and help you get the most out of your stay while you’re at my place. Whether you're a BC local, familiar with the area, or an international guest, my highly detailed guidebook has curated the best experiences, restaurants and bars nearby and will help you plan out your perfect trip. And, I'm always happy to personally assist with ideas for your stay or questions.
Welcome to Vancouver!
BOATING: In the summer months or with enough notice, I offer my guests a discount on my top-rated yacht tour experience, if you'd like to see the city by water, or spend a day dining on one of Vancouver's nearby islands. I am a fully licensed and Transport Canada certified charter captain. If booking for the summer months I would advised booking well in advance as the dates fill up very quick through other travel agencies, boat tour companies, and the hotels that use my service. This is an extra service, billed through Airbnb's online payment system.
DOORBELL CAMERA: I have a doorbell security camera at the front entry door which only views the public hallway outside my unit (just as there are security cameras in our elevators), to assists guests in connecting with me if needed, and discourage parties.
FINAL NOTES: As Canada's warmest climate, Vancouver (like L.A. in the states for example, and many large urban cities), encounters a noticable homeless population. The "Crosstown" area is right downtown and a very safe area, but you will most likely encounter someone who appears homeless or experiencing addiction issues or panhandling in the neighborhood. There is 24 hour security at our building that you can phone if there are any issues of concern. And if you are someone bothered by the sight of or interactions with these people, I would recommend looking at one of the city's central expensive hotels, although this issue does extend to all of downtown.
Also, please bring your Costco card with you if you have one, as the Vancouver store is just across the street outside the back door (across from Rogers Arena)!
