This B&B provided a family-type atmosphere for a cost well below that of Vancouver hotels more centrally located.

The home and family are nice: accommodating, clean, comfortable. The neighborhood is lovely: safe, charming ( has 2 great bakeries and an exceptional grocery story). Transportation is easily walking distance. However, personally, I realized that I don't like bed and breakfast.

My stay was fine, this accommodation is very much a room within a family home which is in a fair condition. For the price, the proximity to UBC or downtown Vancouver is good. It is not a quiet house but I brought earplugs and a portable sound machine and was able to sleep. The king sized bed was comfortable but large for the room, pushed up against a wall and bruised me each time I walked past it. Linens were nice. Breakfast was offered (even on Sunday) but I did not have the time. Lisa seems a caring host. A general update and refresh of walls, furnishings and products could make this a more valuable property but as a budget option it does the job.

We enjoyed our stay at The Sunshine House. Mrs. Joy was very sweet and accommodating. She allowed us to check in a few hours early and stay an extra hour after checkout. She stored our luggage until our cruise boarding time. The bed was very comfortable.

The house is conveniently located. The host are warm welcoming and provide flexible time for check-in which is very important.

This property’s information needs to be updated. The pictures shown of breakfast is incorrect. Breakfast is a self-serve toast and/or cereal unless you ask Lisa for breakfast, then you are given eggs, hash browns and a croissant as a choice. Breakfast is not served 7-10am, but 8-10am. Breakfast is NOT served on Sundays. The picture of the deck should be taken off as that is NOT available space to use. Also, the door to the first floor room needs to be fixed so it will close without having to lock it. The house cat found its way into our room at 2am and jumped on the bed! It was a shock! Our door was unlocked briefly so my friend could go to the w.c. Which is how the cat got in. Positive things - bed was comfortable!

This is a family home, not an accommodation. We booked for 3 nights, but left after a few hours because there was little privacy (could hear everyone in the house and they could easily hear us; only thing private about the bathroom was a lock on the door - you had to go through the front foyer and common area then down a hall to get to the bathroom). Also, a lot of noise (creaky floors, people talking and doing whatever it throughout the house), an overpowering smell of food, and overall, the place was unkempt. The pillows on our bed were dirty and stained, walls had chips out of them, there was dust and dirt on the windowsill area. A child let us in and handed us instructions after I asked if there would be someone telling us about the place. Instructions included not to leave valuables in the room. If you’re travelling, not sure where you’d leave your valuables. We should have read the reviews. There were a lot of warnings. Owner was unreachable to discuss our concerns or by Expedia when we raised concerns with them. She agreed to give us a partial refund, so lost about $300.00 plus the cost of the replacement hotel we fled to late that first night. Buyer beware!

Not much to like about this place. Terrible feline odor and cat wandered at night scratching door. Had to get Lysol spray to neutralize the smell and kill any germs. Distances to bus stop are exaggerated. If you enjoy the smell of chicken feet boiling all day you will love this place. Breakfast according to Expedia listing was nice but in reality pitiful.

A nice little Bed and Breakfast located in a very convent location to Vancouver at a good price. The parking is great as well. The owner is super nice and friendly and asked us multiple times if we needed anything. She tried to make us as comfortable as possible which was very much appreciated. We did stay in the smaller room with three adults and I would recommend the larger room if available but it is manageable. We really enjoyed our stay and again it is super convent to access Vancouver. Vancouver is a beautiful city and this is the perfect place to stay outside the city!

A very pretty, quiet neighbourhood. Basics are all there. Simple breakfast of eggs, toast, tomatoes, yogurt & apples. With as much coffee or tea as we wanted! No breakfast on Sunday was a bit of a surprise.
10.0 / 10.0
Simple but comfortable and great value. My wife has back trouble with uncomfortable beds, and the King bed in the first floor room met her needs. Host was attentive and provided good service. Charming neighborhood with small market, coffee and bakery about a block's walk away. Easy to park on the street. Easy to drive to UBC and Kitsilano and Point Grey neighborhoods.

This a traveller's hostel kinda place, not so well kept or managed. The room was cold. The milk at breakfast on the first day was sour. The grapes were old and going brown. I would not recommend this place, especially for the price point.

The best thing about Sunshine House is the location. A quiet, leafy area with enormous craftsmen houses. A safe area about 10-15 min drive from downtown. About a block away is a cute market and a couple of bakeries/cafes. The included breakfast is basic continental with lots of options -toast, yogurt, cereal, bacon, eggs, muffins, and endless coffee/tea. There’s a small fridge and microwave for guest use. Lisa, the owner, lives there with her family. It feels a little like staying at your friend’s grandma’s house, since my other experiences with B&bs were that they were guest only and catered to romantic weekends.
Despite what other reviewers noted, there is no litterbox smell (I have cats). There is a musty/mildewy smell throughout the house (maybe why it smells like grandma’s?) and the linens need to be cleaned better. They smell like they were forgotten in the washing machine for a few days and have a funky smell like gym clothes. I think her cleaner needs to bleach them in hot water.
Overall, it was an inexpensive place to rest my head in a quiet location. I am not sure I would stay again unless they can address the smell issue.

If you are traveling with kids, it is not ideal as kids can get really loud and sharing a house with the rest of the guests are not comfortable. The room where we stayed had a stench smell like pee smell.

The sunshine house was lovely and made our stay in Vancouver very easy and nice. The owner was very welcoming, and we were able to take buses to downtown & back pretty easily.

I really love the older houses. This is in a decent area, close to bus stops and easy for Uber pick up/drop off to main attractions. Lisa was very nice and accommodating. Very busy space with many people coming and going.

We are so happy that we stayed here. Lisa is a wonderful host, very accommodating, easy to reach out to with questions or to ask for recommendations. For those that want a charming experience where you will meet other travelers during breakfast, and want something that feels homey; this is a great pick for you. We were out and about all day long each of the days we were here, and it felt good knowing we would be able to relax when we got back and feel a break from the hustle of the city. The house is beautiful and the neighborhood is one you will want to walk around in. There is also a coffee shop a minute away walking that sells baked goods. It was perfect for us and our 5 year old.
Thank you for welcoming us into your home, Lisa!

Location is convenient enough for local transport into town. Unfortunately I found the room was small to accommodate 3 adults with luggage. One of the beds was broken but alternative arrangement was made for the 2nd night. Service was good, very friendly. Overall, good value for money

Property was in a nice area, but if you have a sensitive sense of smell, the litter box smell is overwhelming (i have a cat at home). Owner of thr house was friendly and accomidating.

We were glad that we had lots planned during our two-night stay at the sunshine house. Although the house has a large living room for guest use, our room was not a comfortable place to hang out. Our bedroom (there are three) was very cold; the walls are paper- thin – and the owners, who live in the building, actually practiced drums for a significant part of one afternoon. There were options for breakfast; we were pretty unimpressed, but they will make custom eggs. We were frustrated with running out of milk for coffee—the owner ran out to get more. That said, coffee is available around the clock with a Keurig type machine. There are no dairy alternatives or half-and-half or cream.

Needs a good cleaning. Bathroom is gross. Don’t mind pets, but the smell was horrible.
