A Letter

Welcome home.

Welcome to 5476 West Vista Court, your home away from home in beautiful West Vancouver. We're delighted to host you, and we've put together this little book to make your stay comfortable, effortless, and memorable.

Inside you'll find everything you need: how to get in, how to operate the home's quieter intelligences, where the spare linens live, and what to do in the unlikely event that something doesn't quite cooperate. The trickier appliances have short tutorial videos, point your phone camera at any of the QR codes to watch.

If anything is unclear or anything at all goes sideways, please reach out. We're only a message away.

Chapter11A Local's Guide

Where to eat.

One of the best parts of staying on the North Shore is the food. Over the years we've kept a running list of the places we return to again and again, the coffee we start our mornings with, the sushi worth the wait, the pizza worth the drive, and the ice cream for a sunny afternoon. We've pinned every one of them on a map for you.

Coffee

The morning spots, from quick espresso to a slow flat white.

Sushi

Fresh, careful sushi we keep coming back for.

Pizza

Wood-fired and worth the short drive.

Ice Cream

The sweet finish to a sunny afternoon.
