We are a family of five, Ashley and Jarrett and our two children, Venture (a 6 year old boy) and Sailor (a 5 year old girl) and Wilder (3 year old boy) . We live in a beautiful house across the street from the beach in the Kitsilano Beach area of Vancouver, BC. Jarrett is a University Professor and Ashley stays at home with the kids. We love the outdoors, hiking, skiing, biking, surfing, camping, hanging out at the beach etc. We have four chickens in our yard, a beehive on the roof and a beautiful vegetable garden. We love to live life, and love to have fun!

Venture, is compassionate and caring 6 year old boy who always has lots of questions and loves learning new things. Sailor is a dynamic and very funny 5 year old girl who loves playing with dolls, doing crafts and putting on shows. Wilder is our funny 3 year old, who loves being read to, and loves putting on puppet shows with all his stuffies. Dance parties are also a regular occurrence in our home.

You will have your own bedroom with a window and a closet for your belongings. You will be on the main floor of the house and have access to a bathroom on the main floor next to your room where you can store your toiletries. The shower is located in an upstairs bathroom which the rest of the family uses. We have three beautiful decks to relax in the sun and do yoga, a great garden and we live on the beach!!!!
Come enjoy the laid back Kitsilano Beach life. We are a 5 minute bus ride to downtown Vancouver and the bus stops 50 meters from our house. We can show you the sights, you can borrow our bikes, you are welcome to join us as we do fun things, come and have an adventure with us!!!
