We had an incredible stay at the Penthouses of Beach Ave in Vancouver. The location is perfect, offering stunning views and easy access to the best of the city. The apartment itself was spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a fantastic visit. Chris was exceptionally nice and helpful, ensuring our stay was smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. His attention to detail and dedication to guest satisfaction made a significant difference in our experience. We wholeheartedly recommend Penthouses of Beach Ave for anyone looking to have a memorable stay in Vancouver.

Location is further from main shopping areas but we used Uber which was very convenient

Everything is complete with all I needed

Absolutely nothing.

We had Penthouse 2 on the 8th floor. From our arrival, everything was great. The host, Iman, met us on arrival and walked us through the apartment showing us all we needed to know. The amenities offered were beyond what we were expecting - for example three different types of coffee machine; drip, french press and pod. Open a cupboard, and there was something unexpected in terms of being supplied. Previously, we have stayed in many s/c apartments where the supplies have been minimal. Not here! We had a lovely welcome package of fruit, wine, chocolate and jelly beans. The little touches were everywhere. The main thing we liked was the location. While not directly on the sea front, there was only one building in front of it and we could see the marina from the main balcony - great place for morning coffee & the balcony wraps around catching the sun all day. The kitchen had so many extra’s - mayo, sauces, teas (note plural!), condiments, recipe books, noodles, soup - you name it, it was probably there. The apartment was spotless and easy to keep clean. Two very comfortable bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom. While the unit is a bit on the small side, it was perfect for the three of us, and could certainly be great for four. We really liked the location - right by the Hornby river taxi slip to get over to Granville Island, easy access to the local convenient store and bank. The main shopping area, Robson Street was a 10 minute walk away. There are several restaurants all within a stone’s throw. You just need to be aware of cyclists and the wild geese that can be found wandering the street! We had a great time there. Iman checked in on us to make sure everything was OK, and we even met the housekeeper as we were leaving who was also lovely. If you want a great place to stay in downtown Vancouver - this is right up there with the best of them. There was nothing really to dislike. When we return, we will book the Penthouses on Beach again.

The accommodations themselves are nothing short of luxurious. The air-conditioned penthouse was spacious and elegantly furnished, with a terrace overlooking the sea where I could enjoy my morning coffee while soaking in the stunning views. The fully equipped kitchen made it easy to whip up a meal whenever I pleased, and the private bathroom with its deep bath and plush bathrobes added an extra touch of indulgence.

The owner, Mr. Iman, went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was nothing short of perfect, offering personalized recommendations for things to see and do in the area and even surprising me with thoughtful touches like a complimentary bottle of wine and a selection of fresh fruit and chocolates.

Everything was planned set for us - there isn't anything we didn't like.

The attention paid to my mom was invaluable, and its easy to see the hosts work hard to provide everything one might need to enjoy their trip. It's a perfect location for everything!

We were met upon arrival, they took us up to the Penthouse, reviewed the basics and got our keys. Super easy and welcoming. There was a bottle of wine and some snacks waiting for us. The views from the unit are spectacular. We loved the view & being on Beach Ave. And for February in Vancouver we had spectacular weather! Sure it's cloudy and cold, but we barely had any rain! The condo is so close to everything we wanted to do on our 4 day getaway. Small coffee shops/delis, bakeries within a block or 2, so we loved getting up early and getting coffee. We walked to Yaletown for breakfast, walked the Seawall up to Sunset Beach, English Bay and the West End. Took the False Creek ferry to all the stops and what I really like is that Granville Market is such a quick ride by ferry from The Aquatic Terminal to the island. Ubers were also super easy to catch if we opted not to walk.

The location of this property was perfect! Steps (literally) away from a Granville Island water taxi, a convenience store, grocery, small cafe's, bakeries and shops. A nice walk to galleries, museum, shopping and malls. A +/- $10-15 uber ride gets you to most core places in the rain. My hosts were on their game. A nice introduction and briefing, wonderful little extras placed around the penthouse to make my (our) family (2 adults, 2 children) stay comfortable, enjoyable, convenient and well...perfect. Every room was well appointed, with the comforts and extras of home. Balconies (yes plural) with an assortment of seating options, a bbq/grill, beverage storage. Kitchen with more than appropriate/adequate "tools" and commonly "forgot" to bring items. Bathrooms with extra nicety's and plenty of towels/linens. A gas fireplace in the living room....yip. Wifi and internet TV...check. Convenient laundry in the apartment...check. Beautiful views and sunsets....check. Many thanks to the hosts! This was my first foray into the non-hotel/resort chain/conglomerates experience. They set the bar and my expectations going forward.

Everything was right there. You couldn’t ask for more or better. We are a family of 5 with 3 teenager children.

It was a great stay, Iman was very helpful as a host and had a lovely, well appointed unit. I wish Beach Avenue was closer to tourist attractions but being just across from Granville Public Market was just great for the family.

We had to wait for over 55 minutes with my family after a rather long drive from Seattle despite giving constant updates on our arrival which was very frustrating, we started our holiday on a bad note . Whilst this is a penthouse it’s on 8th floor and not a typical high rise where you get unobstructed views of the harbour, there are buildings right in front so it’s a bit misleading in terms of expectations . The price is almost 600 USD per night for which you expect top tier service and experience in my views this is way overpriced. Also at a human level we had requested for a change in dates due to a personal constraint and the landlord was inflexible, though we agree it was a non-refundable rate but was still so high so consideration here would have gone a long way at a human level . Fortunately , we could travel . Parking is very tight if you are driving a large SUV so please watch out for that and the fitness facilities are very average .

The host of this property had good food recommendations and options for sightseeing

The view was amazing, tons of space. Staff was super friendly and accommodating in every way.
