Come for the view of the inlet. Stay for the kind of peace you can't buy in a city.
A Letter
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.

Arrive whenever works for you, just let us know your estimated time ahead of time, and we'll make sure everything is ready.
Press the EMTEK logo on the top to wake up the lock.
Enter 5 4 7 6, then tap the checkmark to confirm.
Give the door a firm push, it's a touch heavy, but it'll swing open easily.
On your way out, pull the door closed behind you and tap the EMTEK logo. The home takes care of the rest.


The home runs on a Nest smart thermostat, turn the outer ring to set a target, tap the screen to switch between Heat, Cool, and Off. The Dimplex electric fireplace in the living room is purely for ambience: no gas, no chimney, no clean-up. Leave it on as long as you'd like.
The laundry room is immediately on the right as you enter the home from the front door. It's free, private, and yours alone for the stay.
Additional supplies are stored in the mechanical room across from the main floor, both rooms are open access.
The property features both indoor and outdoor amenities for the stay. The balcony off the master is the spot for morning coffee, the inlet is partially visible through the cedars, and the mountains are unobstructed.
A few of the home's appliances have unique features that are easier shown than written. Tap any card below to watch a short walkthrough video.
Master ensuite smart toilet, bidet controls, seat warming, and water-pressure settings.
How to start the outdoor BBQ, control temperature, and where to find the utensils.
Powering on the outdoor sauna, setting temperature, and safe-usage tips.
Operating the built-in Fisher & Paykel coffee maker, bean refill and water tank.
Bins are stored in the garage. On collection day, please roll them to the end of the driveway by 8:00 AM. Collection follows the City of West Vancouver schedule, refer to the city's official calendar for the current week's pickup day.
A small but important note: the city is very strict about sorting. If recycling or compost isn't sorted correctly, they will leave the bin behind.
The home includes free private parking. There's a one-car garage with a Tesla EV charger inside, a driveway that fits up to four vehicles, and a quiet residential street if you need it.
A few simple ground rules to keep the home in great condition for every guest, and to keep us on good terms with the neighbours.
No high chair, pack 'n play, or children's toys are provided. The home is not wheelchair accessible and has stairs between all floors, though the master ensuite features a walk-in shower.
Exterior CCTV cameras cover the front of the property, the parking area, and the exterior. There are no cameras inside the home or in any private areas.
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.
The morning spots, from quick espresso to a slow flat white.
Fresh, careful sushi we keep coming back for.
Wood-fired and worth the short drive.
The sweet finish to a sunny afternoon.
We've kept the checkout process simple, no deep cleaning required, just a few small courtesies before you head out. Tap each item as you complete it.
It has been our pleasure to host you. If you enjoyed your stay, a kind review goes a long way, and we'd love to welcome you back any time.
