Beginning with a very warm welcome that continued throughout our week, my wife and I truly enjoyed our stay with Lauren and Patrick, the hosts. The B&B, on the lower level of their home, had a private entrance and contained a living room, kitchenette, bedroom, bath, and computer internet service was provided. The location was in a beautiful neighborhood within... more

We have stayed a week in Arbutus Vista in the summer of 2007 for our first trip in Canada. It is a very special type of B&B, like a private 2 bedrooms appartment with B&B service, exactly what we wanted for our family. We have seen the video tour on the website before booking and it seemed we had already... more

When we arrived in Vancouver the weather forcast was for rain for our entire stay. When we were met by Patrick and shown the apartment we were very impressed. The accomodation comprises a large room with TV DVD etc, a small kitchen area and a large bedroom with separate shower/bathroom. The main room is lovely and the bed is one... more

This B and B is an entire apartment with a large great room, outdoor patio, kitchen, computer/internet station, clean and sizable bathroom and THE MOST COMFORTABLE BED I HAVE SLEPT ON AWAY FROM HOME!!! We will definitely stay with them again when... more

We stayed for 3 days at this B & B. Patrick and Loren paid close attention to details - teas, a lovely garden to sit in, friendly advice. The price was right, and the care they gave was wonderful. I'll use it again. The roses were in full bloom - heavenly! more

I stayed at Arbutus Vista for 9 nights and found it fantastic value for money. Patrick and Lauren DuBois are your hosts, and the B&B consists of a basement suite which is large enough to be considered a full apartment. A large living room/kitchen with fridge/freezer, microwave, toaster, toaster oven and a full stock of dishes and cutlery, a good-sized... more
