What's the best way to get around Kelowna?
Kelowna's downtown core is becoming increasingly walkable, with many shops, restaurants, and attractions concentrated within a pedestrian-friendly area. The city has a growing network of bike lanes, making it a convenient option for getting around. Renting a bike is a great way to explore the waterfront and nearby parks, however renting a car in Kelowna provides greater flexibility for exploring the surrounding areas, including wineries, beaches, and towns located outside the city centre.

Stay with family
The apartment was exactly as it showed on the web site. Didn't disappoint. Well equipped and beautifully furnished. Nice views. Location was perfect for me. Everything in walking distance. Stayed for 10 weeks and offered all the comforts of home. Look forward to my stay again this summer. Excellent communication, friendly, and professional. Good follow up."

Stay for work
This is a fantastic suite for short or long term stays. The layout of the unit offers it to be very spacious relative to the sq. footage. It's incredibly clean, quick to jump on the highway, EXTREMELY dog friendly with Bridgman park across the street. I moved up to Vancouver for work and rented this unit as a short term solution while finding long term housing. Couldn't have picked a better place and host to work with than this unit and the group at Vancouver Short Stay!”

Booking for Others
Ease of the booking was great and invoicing processes simple. Seamlessness from the perspective of the staff member who is attending a training program – they have enough to worry about! It is helpful that the staff can communicate directly with VSS for their specific needs, but that invoices can come to a different place for payment.”
