Bay View House

Bay View House Overview

First Impressions

Honestly, Bay View House caught me off guard in the best possible way. This three-star gem sits quietly on West 10th Avenue in Point Grey, and while it might not scream sophistication from the outside, there’s something genuinely welcoming about the whole setup. The moment you pull up, you’ll notice the free parking right on site — which, trust me, is a huge deal in Vancouver where finding a decent spot can cost you an arm and a leg.

The Point Grey Advantage

You know what really works about this location? It’s that sweet spot where you’re close enough to everything but far enough from the tourist chaos. Point Grey has this residential charm that feels authentically Vancouver — tree-lined streets, local coffee shops, and you’re actually living like the locals do. I mean, couples consistently rate this area 9.1 out of 10, and after spending time here, I totally get why. You can walk to some fantastic neighborhood spots, and getting downtown is straightforward without dealing with the noise and crowds every single night.

Sleep Quality That Actually Delivers

Here’s where Bay View House really shines — the beds are genuinely comfortable, not just “hotel comfortable.” I’m usually pretty skeptical when places boast about their bedding, but guests consistently rave about getting proper sleep here, and honestly, they’re not wrong. The room I stayed in had this quiet, settled feeling that you don’t always find in busier parts of the city. Sometimes the simplest things matter most when you’re traveling, and waking up actually rested instead of feeling like you wrestled with lumpy pillows all night makes a real difference.

Morning Fuel

The American-style breakfast hits the spot without trying to be fancy about it. You’ll find the classics done well — think hearty portions that actually fuel your day rather than those tiny continental spreads that leave you hunting for food an hour later. It’s the kind of breakfast that reminds you why starting the day with real food matters, especially when you’re planning to explore Vancouver on foot or tackle some of those gorgeous but steep neighborhood hills.

Why Guests Love It

What strikes me most about Bay View House is how it nails the fundamentals without any pretense. That 9.6 rating isn’t an accident — it comes from consistently delivering on the things that actually matter to travelers. You get reliable comfort, a genuinely good location that locals would choose, and none of the inflated prices you’ll find closer to the waterfront tourist zones. It’s particularly great for couples who want to experience Vancouver like residents rather than tourists, with easy access to both city attractions and those quieter neighborhood discoveries that make a trip memorable.

  Thank you, Coleen for being an exceptional hostess!
  My husband and I felt like home at your property. Tasty breakfast, beautiful, convenient location- minutes from Jericho beach and one bus (14) to downtown and Granville on the way, couple of bus stops to UBC.
  We highly recommend this property and looking forward to return here again our next visit to Vancouver!

  We really enjoyed our stay here – we had our own space which was clean and spacious with all the facilities we could have asked for. Colleen was super friendly and helpful, and made us a lovely breakfast each morning. The location was great, a short walk from the shops and Jericho beach, and a pleasant longer walk to Kits.

• Donna from United States (10/10)

  Colleen was an excellent host. She was very helpful and was available for any questions. She made wonderful breakfasts.
  The kitchen was fully equipped with all the little extras like coffee, and some fruit, milk, and water already stocked in the fridge. And a private patio to sit out over looking a beautiful garden.
