We loved our two week stay at Grandma’s Elephant Hideaway! Location was perfect - very close to the beach, restaurants, amenities. The building was quiet and neighbors were friendly. The unit was very clean and comfortable. Everything we needed was neatly placed for easy access. A small but appreciated touch was the abundance of USB Outlets for keeping all of our devices charged. The elephant theme was fun. We even counted them (101) and voted on our favorite. The size was perfect for our group (2 couples, 1 single). We would definitely book this spot again! ##### Kim R.

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! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Craig B. 7 Jan 2024 #### Outstanding - AGAIN Thank you once again for sharing your home with us. The grandchildren we a little louder this time as it was one more and the next time we come, there will be another one. Everyone enjoyed your home, which allowed us to have an actual Christmas Day. This year we were all together for the first time since 2018. Could not be more thankful. Hopefully, we will be back in the New Year. Again thanks for sharing. ##### Craig B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jill S. 24 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### Jill S.

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! ##### Chris M.
