Health Care Workers, Professionals, Remote Workers, & Snowbirds Paradise

Welcome to "Grandma's Elephant Hideaway," a hidden gem in South Okanagan and Penticton BC! This spacious three-bedroom open-concept condo is just two blocks away from the stunning Okanagan Lake beach and parks, making it the perfect destination for families or small groups up to 6 who are looking to explore the local wineries, breweries, and all the exciting activities that Penticton has to offer. Come as guests and leave as friends.

With a prime location just minutes away from restaurants, shops, and a variety of activities, you'll never run out of things to do. The event center, gym, hockey rink, library, pool, and casino are all within a 5-minute walk! Whether you're attending a convention, concert, or just soaking up the sun on the beautiful beaches, this is the perfect spot for your getaway.

Relax in our luxurious bedrooms - one king room and two queen rooms - and enjoy the high-end hotel-quality beds and high-speed Wi-Fi. Our guests love our well-equipped kitchen, complete with everything you need, including an air fryer, and a complimentary laundry room. We also offer those extra features for remote workers, like a printer, extra screen, keyboard, desk and a high-quality office chair.

Savor our custom-roasted coffee on the East-facing sun deck in the morning and enjoy covered shade BBQs in the afternoons. With a private parking garage, you can store your vehicle, bicycles, or sports equipment with ease.

We believe your vacation is all about relaxation and fun, so we have made it easy for you. Just load the dishwasher and take out the garbage before you leave, and we'll handle the rest. And, with our touch screen concierge service, you'll have all the local hotspots at your fingertips, with the ability to communicate directly with us if you need anything during your stay.

And, as a proud member of Tourism Penticton and a City of Penticton-inspected and licensed vacation rental, we promise to make your experience unforgettable. So, grab your family and friends, book your stay today, and get ready for an amazing adventure in Penticton!

This fully-contained condo is our secondary suite (we live mainly in our main Condo of the complex). We use this secondary suite to accommodate visiting family (we have a large family) and friends. When we or they are not using it, all personal belongings are removed or stored away, giving you a great feel of a home away from home. The only thing we do not remove is our demonstration of the love we have for elephants - go ahead and count them if you can.

Property was immaculate, and the owners lived one floor below our rental. Debbie and Dale chatted with us both in person and via texts asking us if we needed anything, or to answer any questions that we had about the area. Overall experience was not only great…it was exceptional!!!

Perfect!
Property was lovely, location perfect, amenities amazing and hosts could not have been nicer! Our party of 5 (grandparents, parents and 2 year old grandson) had everything we needed. Condo had high chair, playpen, toys, books, stuffies, toddler dishes and cutlery, wagon….perfect for families with little ones who are flying into town and limited as to how much equipment they can bring! All kinds of little extra’s including cookies and other treats to welcome us. We will definitely be back!

We Will Be Back
This is the first VRBO I've ever been in that needs to get a 10 star rating! The things that stood out beyond the normal: A welcome basket full of goodies (including a small elephant statue); amenity trays in eat room with bottled water, hand cream, face masks, and more: amenity trays in bathrooms with literally everything you would ever need including individual mouth wash and dental floss; an electronic welcome board for checking in and out and with links to things to do in the area and lots of wonderful elephants, of course! Oh, and when was the last time you stayed anywhere where the smell of warm chocolate cookies greeted you as you opened the door. They were wonderful and enjoyed with the chilled white wine left for us. Behind all this were the owners, who have gone above and beyond to make you feel welcome. They were so kind and helpful. We will return to Penticton again and look forward to staying here again. Book this place - your will not be dissapointed!

The Condo is beautiful and comfortable - we enjoy looking at the elephant displays. The touch screen display with the welcome greeting and easy access to information was fantastic.

Dale and Debbie are the definitions of super hosts. Upon arrival, we were surprised with a thoughtful welcome basket and a bottle of wine. The place was clean and had everything we needed to enjoy our time there including cooking utensils, comfortable seating, toiletries, etc. Debbie and Dale went above and beyond to make sure we had a good stay. They have a great home and manage this unit effectively. We will definitely be returning next time we come to town!

Fantastic Hosts, Fantastic Location
Dale and Debbie are truly remarkable hosts! Communication was seamless. They went out of their way to have us feel welcome as we arrived, the highlight for my son was a fresh batch of Chocolate Chip cookies on the counter still warm as we arrived at the condo. A chilled bottle of local wine was my wife's favourite welcome gift! The Condo had everything we could possibly have conceived of needing. It was clean and the perfect cool temperature to walk into on a warm day. Having a garage bay separate from the unit available as well was super helpful for drying and storing my son's hockey gear as we were in town for a hockey camp. The location is absolutely ideal, just a couple blocks from both the beach and the event centre, close enough to both for easy walking but far enough away that there is plenty of parking in the neighbourood and some peace and quiet when you arrive home. Couldn't have asked for a better experience all around! Highly recommended for your next visit to Penticton!

Great place to stay and a great location!
Four of us came to Penticton for a week long bridge tournament. The condo is about a block from the playing site - ideal. The beds were really comfortable, and the kitchen is well equipped for pretty much everything. Great spaces for socializing and sitting around chatting. The weather didn't cooperate so we didn't use the deck much, but it is spacious and comfortable too. Deb and Dale were so welcoming and quick to answer any questions we had. I have stayed at many nice VRBO rentals, and I have never before seen such attention to detail and to make us feel as welcome as possible. We've already booked it for next year!

The property was immaculate, spacious, comfortable and had everything you could possibly need for a short or extended stay. In fact when we thought we figured out they didn’t have an random cooking utensil - ie garlic press , it arrived the next day at the door . Dale & Debbie go above and beyond to make sure you feel welcome , have everything you need , and that your stay is amazing. It was a 12 day stay during which We were celebrating 2 Birthdays in our group and they dropped off a beautiful cake, charcuterie board, wine and flowers with thoughtful cards for each of us. I cannot recommend this place enough. They are beyond fantastic hosts!! Thank you and we cannot wait to come back !

The hosts Deborah and Dale were excellent they treat you like family. We came to celebrate a late Christmas with our kids and grandbabies and asked if they minded putting up a Christmas tree. They didn't stop there. The whole house was decorated beautifully Welcome baskets and goodies everywhere. My husband and I have stayed in many vacation rentals. This one made me say WOW from the moment walking in the door and felt like home. Everything you need is here. This is the place to stay when going to Penticton.

This property was everything that was promised. Prior to our arrival, the property manager was easy to reach and answered all of our questions. The unit was exceptionally clean and well stocked, especially the kitchen. The bedrooms were roomy, the beds comfy and the garage was very convenient for storing all of our beach accessories. The short stroll to the beach, restaurants and downtown core made it easy to leave the cars behind although there was always plenty of parking available nearby. It’s our new favourite place in one of our favourite cities.
