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 of up to 6 who are looking to explore the local wineries, breweries, and all the exciting activities that Penticton has to offer. 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 or concert, or just soaking up the sun on the beautiful beaches or the slopes at Apex, 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 all the equipment you need, 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. Savour your morning 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, bicycle, or sports equipment with ease. We believe your vacation is all about relaxation and fun, so we've taken care of the cleaning 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. As a proud member of Visit Penticton and a City of Penticton-inspected and licensed vacation rental, we promise to make your experience unforgettable. So, grab your family & friends, and book your stay today.
Woo-hoo! Debbie and Dale here, and we're beyond thrilled to welcome you to Grandma's Elephant Hideaway! Grandma had a love for elephants and inspired us to create this cozy hideaway in her honor. Plus, with every stay, you're supporting elephant sanctuaries as we donate a portion of the profits every year. We're both avid travelers, who love visiting our kids and grandkids. When you're not cozied up at the hideaway, you might find us at a nearby winery or brewery (Dale's favorite being Hwy 97). We promise to make your stay extra special, with locally roasted coffee, warm cookies, and more - maybe we'll even roast the coffee ourselves! And if there's anything you need or want to make your stay even better, just let us know. Dale is a real world-traveler, volunteering to help communities in need, and has spent countless nights in hotel rooms. That's why we created the perfect hideaway - with all the things we love about staying somewhere and none of the things we don't. And while we love to give guests their space, we're always here if you need us. Just message us through the platform or give us a call - we'll be there to help in a jiffy. If you need us to pick up your groceries before you arrival, let us know and we can run (ok drive) to any local store to pick them up, and put them away.
Quiet neighbourhood but close to all the action and amenities. It is the perfect place for families or small groups of up to 6 guests looking to explore wineries, friends for a golfing vacation, anyone looking to take advantage of the beautiful beaches, or anyone looking to head out skiing to Apex (35min drive), or mountain biking. The Condo is only two blocks from the beach. One block to the community centre and two blocks to the Casino and Arena. A park is across the street, along with a tennis court and nearby shopping and restaurants. A mix of restaurants and breweries is only a 10-minute walk away. Several amazing restaurants are as short as a 5-minute walk, including Penticton's newest gem - Sociale. Various food trucks are known to set up in the park, which is only a two-minute walk. We even provide tennis racquets for you to use during your stay.
