Well since our little house sold and we no longer have it I'll close this page down. Thanks to all that stayed with us, and good luck with wherever your travels take you.

Hey Kelowna friends or close by, we have two nice Mexican guys that will need a place to live for about six weeks starting June 30th. If you have a suite or two rooms for rent give me a shout. They were paying $1800/month here, would probably be able to do more.

cheers, please share.

Hey guys, summer is upon us! If you're looking to visit the Okanagan we have our house available for rent. Downstairs thru airbnb, or through us, and we can throw in the upstairs for extra to make it a 5 bedroom 2 bathroom with pool house. Just send me a WhatsApp. Families welcome!

06/19/2022

Looking for someone who wants to come to Kelowna weekend of July 15-16th. We'd love to swap with someone in Vancouver area so we can be up there for our favourite weekend the Vancouver Open Pro beach tournament! Pool, beach, golf, wine, all that the Okanagan has to offer is waiting. If we have booked the downstairs Airbnb we will also kick you back some gas money!

06/10/2022

We're looking for someone to look after our place and pool and potentially swap a puppy friendly place July 15-17th. Anyone that can shoot me a whatsapp! Did I mention were within throwing distance to the lake and spitting to a pool ;)

05/30/2022

Anyone looking to take our upper floor of house this summer let us know! It's easy as opening and closing a pool cover and adding some chemicals as needed. 10 meters to the nearest pool, and 100 meters to two great beaches!

Looking for June 10-12th and July 14-17th so far.

Any other dates that you'd like shoot me a whatsapp and let's see if we can organize it.

05/16/2022

Looking for a place in Kelowna this summer?!

Book our Airbnb suite and if you're a close friend we may be able to give you the whole upstairs for free! That would be a five bedroom two bathroom house with pool only 50 meters from the lake!

Well it's that time of year again, after about 14 days of rain all winter, sorry Vancouver we gotta have at least that over ya, we are opening up our Airbnb. We really would prefer to get less and have friends book it so send us a message if you'd like to visit. We have a few options for you:

House swap with us so we can visit Vancouver with our puppy without aggravating our super annoying Vancouver landlord. In May you'll have the upstairs to yourself and no worries about Airbnb down. In June to August you'll just have to open and close the pool the add chemicals while enjoying the Kelowna life.

Rent our downstairs at full airbnb price and get the upstairs for free, 4 bedroom and 2 bathrooms for $300-$500/night!

Rent our downstairs at 25% off while we are upstairs.

Come stay with us for free upstairs in our guest room. We technically have a guest room and Kas' work room that we can throw a mattress down in so have room for four.

Hope to take a few of you on wine tours, rounds of golf, beach naps, hikes, bikes and brews!

It anyone wants to house sit this winter the upstairs may be available for short term. Just ask us!

The Pool is CLOSED. What a crazy first summer in Kelowna. We had to deal with extreme heat, then extremely smoky skies which had nobody visit us all summer long, not to mention the Delta variant brought here by tourists. In the end the Airbnb was moderately successful once we fine tuned the rules and weeded out the partiers and high maintenance. In the end it was quite successful financially, and I guess that was the goal to begin with.

We also got engaged, in case you missed it ;) and are looking forward to spending every day together until we're old and wrinkly.

We're now ready to break free a bit from Kelowna and maybe travel a bit around BC. Hoping to jump on a plane this winter once it doesn't feel like I'd get serious variant anxiety from the whole process.

Edit: thanks to Jenny D for visiting and taking care of our place and pool for a weekend! 🤗

So we've been crushing the airbnb but to be honest there are some people that we havent enjoyed at all. So for now we've blocked off these dates you see in the calendar to hopefully have some friends come up! We also have a room upstairs always avail for close friends for free.

Our place sleeps 4 and you gotta be vaccinated. If anyone wants to book let us know asap, friends only, we'll open it back up to the riff raff and higher profit margins in a week or so.

$200/night for Sun to Thurs nights $50/pp if 4 come up.
$300/night for weekend nights $75/pp if 4 ppl come up.

Typically we get $350-475 plus airbnb adds fees.

07/14/2021

Almost booked out for the summer, if you're thinking to come and rent check the calendar and book quickly, remember 20% off for friends plus you don't pay all the extra Airbnb fees, so it works out to nearly half price!

Guest room available anytime for visitors, FREE. Yes we have AC, yes we have a pool, yes the lake is 100m away, yes you must be vaxxed. Fair trade :)

06/30/2021

If anyone wants to come up July 18 to 20th let us know. You can have our place upstairs for free, basically all you gotta do is open and close the pool and add some chemicals.

06/26/2021

Still waiting for our first visitor. Airbnb however is booking up fast!

We have a guest room upstairs with us, double bed so cozy;) come on up to Ktown. Vaxxers only!

06/20/2021

If you're thinking you want to come to Ktown next week the price is crazy cheap, a little over $100/night before the prices bump up in July and August.

06/20/2021

Had our first booking last night go smoothly with a couple nice kids from Smithers who were touring BC. First stop was Loops, then here, next they're heading to the island and eventually Tofino, jealous!

06/13/2021

Yay we got our first booking, a family for a week in July! Exciting to see that we can welcome people from all over to visit and stay with us :)
