We had a great exchange with Korallynn and David! What a lovely couple they are. Korallynn communicated well before and during the exchange. Their home was clean, very comfortable, and in a great location! Thanks so much!
We loved staying at Korralyn and David’s home! It’s very conveniently located in a quiet area. We enjoyed walking our dog around the neighborhood and checked out Reed College, Woodstock and the Rhododendron garden. It’s not too far from downtown or other great places, we especially enjoyed Portland’s food truck scene! The home is very comfortable with the most gigantic big tree in the backyard! Our daughter loved the art room in the yard too!
We had everything we needed and communication was excellent. The home manual was helpful and Korralyn was super helpful and easy to connect with throughout. We made some great summer memories in Portland and the area! Thanks so much for having us!
We haven't been able to visit Korallynn's home yet due to a back injury.
We had such a good time in Korallynn's home. It is comfortable, cute, and in a great location to explore Portland. The beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was well set up for cooking. There were many walks we could do from the house (we found a great bagel place for example)! We had a relaxing long weekend, and I would recommend it to anyone!
My husband and myself had a great 5 days in Portland at Korallynn’s home. Best thing about the house is the location. Just minutes from downtown which you can access via public transport and grocery store/bars/restaurants all in walking distance. We did have a car for seeing the coast and other areas but you don’t need one if you stay in town. We walked home several nights after a few drinks.
The home was quaint/cozy/neat and well equipped with everything we could need for our stay. The fancy shower head was definitely a treat!
The beauty of Oregon cannot be beat. There are so many gardens, hiking trails, the coast, etc.
Korallynn and David spent a week in our home. They left our home clean and everything in order. Thank you so much Korallynn and David! You were a great couple to stay in our home!
Our home was in perfect order and we really appreciated the care and help with our garden watering too!
We would host Korallyn and her family again anytime!
Korallynn and her family left our Seattle home in great shape, and they were wonderful exchange partners. Our house was clean and well cared for. Korallynn was easy to communicate with and a pleasure to exchange with. I can recommend Korallynn and her family as exchange partners to anyone!
Korallynn and company were the most considerate, truly thoughtful guests.
They respected our property as though it were there own. They took in our town and surrounding area with a vim and vigor that should be emulated by all travelers.
Friendly, warm and oh, so very kind. They even brought us a little gift from their neck of the woods. We cannot wait to visit their home next month!. We hope the first of many swaps with this lovely family.
This was a sim stay and the family left my home in great shape. We had good communication about a few wants/needs at each other’s homes and that was so nice. Korallynn graciously watered my newly planted garden and that was a big ask from me. She even shared some of their fun things they did and some pictures. Seeing people enjoy your home/area is part of why I’m loving home exchanging. I would definitely recommend this family for a swap.
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Bonnie and Alex’s home in North Vancouver!
The house was equipped with every amenity imaginable, making our stay incredibly comfortable and convenient. I particularly loved their espresso machine—so much so that I'm now planning to buy one for myself! They even left us a thoughtful welcome gift of a bottle of wine and several tourist pamphlets, which was a fantastic touch. I’m definitely going to adopt this idea for my own house swaps in the future!
The house itself was cozy and inviting, with three well-appointed bedrooms. Since my husband and I were working remotely, we really appreciated the desks that were set up for us. The fluffy blankets and comfy couch made relaxing in the living room a joy, and we especially enjoyed unwinding on the back patio. The view of nature from the patio was stunning, and just steps from the house, there's a lovely trail that connects you to the surrounding nature—perfect for a peaceful walk or bike ride.
Bonnie went above and beyond as a host, preparing a delicious lasagna and some homemade fruit bread for us. Both were the perfect comfort food after a day of travel.
The location is perfect for anyone who loves outdoor adventures, local culture, and easy access to the city. We were close enough to visit the breweries at the shipyard, which made for a fun outing. We also took advantage of the many nearby bike trails, adding to our enjoyment of the area.
Our trip started with a challenging yet rewarding hike up the Grouse Grind on Grouse Mountain. The views from the top were stunning, and it was the perfect way to kick off our stay. After the hike, we explored the many charming local shops, each offering unique finds and friendly service. For those who like to stay active, there are plenty of gyms around—we had a great workout at one of the local spots.
One of the highlights of our trip was the visit to Lynn Canyon and its famous suspension bridge. The bridge itself is an exhilarating experience, and the surrounding forest trails are simply beautiful. We also discovered some lovely rivers in the area where you can take a refreshing swim, perfect for cooling off after a day of exploring.
Another perk of staying in North Vancouver is its proximity to other exciting neighborhoods. We were just a 15-minute drive from Little Italy, where we enjoyed some fantastic meals, and only 8 minutes away from the lively Shipyards District, which is great for evening strolls and people-watching.
For a change of pace, we took the waterbus to downtown Vancouver for dinner one night. The ride itself was quick and scenic, and it was fun to see the city lights from the water.
The people in North Vancouver are incredibly friendly—true to the Canadian reputation! We couldn't help but chuckle at the traffic signs that gave us a frowning face if we were speeding and a smiley face when we stuck to the speed limit. It's those little touches that made our stay memorable.
Overall, our stay at Bonnie and Alex's home was exceptional, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, well-located, and thoughtfully hosted stay in North Vancouver.
Thank you so much Korallynn and David! What a kind and thoughtful feedback you have given us. As we experience membership in this welcoming community, we are learning so much about people and culture. Thank you for a lovely exchange experience!
Bonnie and Alex were fantastic guests! They stayed in our home and left it in perfect condition—clean and tidy. Communication with them was a breeze, and I really enjoyed our conversations. It seems like we share many of the same interests, and I'd love to chat more with them about our travel experiences in the future. Highly recommend them to any host!
We had the absolute pleasure of staying at Cristina, Tom, and Aelyn's home in Victoria for a week! The house is a stunning mid-century modern gem, filled with natural light and a warm, homey atmosphere. Its central location was perfect for our trip, with easy access to all of Victoria's attractions.
The home is incredibly well-organized, with every amenity you could possibly need. The kitchen is fully stocked, making meal prep a breeze, and there were plenty of comfy blankets to snuggle up in. My girls especially loved exploring Aelyn's room and playing the games they had available. Cristina even went above and beyond by gifting my girls a book and activity book she had written—such a thoughtful touch!
We had a fantastic time exploring Victoria, visiting Butchart Gardens, Craigdarroch Castle, Elk Lake, and enjoying high tea, sailing, and several scenic hikes. Cristina's recommendations were spot-on—Mount Douglas offered breathtaking panoramic views, and Elk Lake was a hit with its playground and beach.
The house is also conveniently located near numerous bike paths and just a 15-minute drive from the beach and downtown Victoria. And a huge plus was being able to bring our dog, Ollie, who loved meeting all the neighborhood dogs at the nearby unofficial dog park.
Cristina was a joy to communicate with—her instructions were clear, and she was always available if we needed anything. Staying in their fantastic home was a highlight of our trip, and we can't wait to return!
Cristina, Tom, and Aelyn were exceptional house guests! They left the house in immaculate condition and went above and beyond by watering my plants and taking care of my mail and packages. We were so impressed with their thoughtfulness and care. We would absolutely love to welcome them back again in the future!
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Allen and Malini's charming home in the Queen Anne neighborhood of Seattle, Washington, and I couldn't have been more impressed. From the moment I began conversing with Allen months ago, discussing our shared passion for travel, to the seamless arrangements made for our stay, every aspect of our experience was top-notch.
The location of their home is truly unbeatable, just steps away from all the attractions that make Seattle so vibrant and exciting. We loved being able to walk to nearby spots and immerse ourselves in the local culture. And speaking of local culture, Allen and Malini's interactions with their neighbors and their Facebook posts about their adventures added an extra layer of authenticity and charm to our stay.
The house itself was a haven of comfort and convenience. The spacious upstairs primary bedroom with its en-suite bathroom provided a luxurious retreat, while the additional bedrooms on the main level ensured that everyone in our party had plenty of space to relax and unwind. The dining and living areas were perfect for gatherings, allowing both my family and my sister's family to come together and create lasting memories.
One of the highlights of our stay was undoubtedly spending time on the porch, soaking in the sunshine and engaging in delightful conversations with passing neighbors. Whether we were chatting about their adorable dogs or offering tips to tourists, it felt like we were truly a part of the vibrant Queen Anne community.
During our visit, we took advantage of Seattle's endless array of attractions, from exploring the picturesque UW campus to renting a boat and basking in the glorious sun. It's safe to say that we barely scratched the surface of all the fun things to do in this dynamic city.
Overall, our experience at Allen and Malini's home was nothing short of exceptional. The clear and concise instructions provided made everything a breeze, and I'm already looking forward to the possibility of swapping with them again in the future. If you're looking for a home away from home in Seattle, look no further – Allen and Malini's place is truly a gem.

Our stay at Dawn's loft in Port Angeles was nothing short of delightful. From the moment we booked, Dawn was incredibly responsive and welcoming, making us feel right at home even before we arrived.
The loft itself was a haven of comfort and convenience. Equipped with everything we could possibly need, it exceeded our expectations. The beds were particularly comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep after long days of exploration.
Speaking of exploration, the loft provided the perfect base for our outdoor adventures. From 9am to 7pm, we immersed ourselves in the stunning natural beauty of the surrounding area, and returning to the serene environment of the loft each evening was a true pleasure.
It's evident that Dawn has poured thought and care into every detail of the loft. From the plush pillows and blankets to the well-stocked kitchen, every aspect of our stay was meticulously curated for maximum comfort and enjoyment. We especially appreciated the thoughtful addition of a privacy fence on the deck, ensuring our peace and seclusion.
The local town offered everything we could want, and Dawn's comprehensive home guide was invaluable in helping us navigate the area. We highly recommend giving it a read upon arrival to familiarize yourself with all the helpful tips and rules.
As for activities, the options were endless. From exploring charming Port Townsend and Port Angeles to enjoying a refreshing swim or embarking on breathtaking hikes, there was never a dull moment. Highlights included the Verne Samuelson Trail County Park, Ediz Hook Spit beach, and the awe-inspiring Hoh rainforest. And of course, no visit to the area would be complete without a trip to the Olympic Game Farm INC.
Overall, our experience at Dawn's loft was nothing short of exceptional. We're already dreaming of our next visit and can't wait to return to this slice of paradise in Port Angeles. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a cozy retreat amidst the beauty of the Pacific Northwest.
I am just humbled nearly beyond words at your kindness and your family's spirit.
We have so many improvements already in the works to bring the peacefulness and beauty of the area right to you and cannot wait to share it with you and your family in the future!
We cannot wait until our May swap at your beautiful home, too!
Hooray for travel and PLU!
Allen and Malini proved to be excellent guests! Communication with them was effortless, making it simple to coordinate a date and finalize the details. They departed, leaving the house in a remarkably clean and orderly condition. I particularly value Allen's delightful sense of humor and gracious attitude both before, during, and after their visit. Going the extra mile, they expressed their gratitude by leaving a card and flowers. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to stay at their home in Seattle!
We had the pleasure of staying at Angelina’s home. Upon our arrival, we were greeted with muffins, tea, roses, shower bombs and sun screen. She had asked me for a code that I would remember so we got into the house with ease. She put up post it notes all over the house. The house was impeccably clean and smelled wonderful. The towels were soft and the bedding was comfy. She left blankets all over the home as well.
We had each others cell phone numbers and emails so we could send a quick text if we had any questions. Throughout the exchange, I knew Angelina was a house swap pro.
Her house is gorgeous! We enjoyed it so much! We went to the water park, hiked at the local conservatory, went to spring training and checked out all the local breweries. We only had breakfast at the house and she had everything set up so it was easy to find. Truly she's thought of everything and made it so easy!
The laid back outdoor living was perfectly set up. She left out the pool toys. The backyard oasis was fantastic! The pool was a perfect afternoon activity.
We enjoyed picking up the duck and chicken eggs daily! It was a fun activity! Also, the eggs were so delicious.
Angelina was lovely! She was super communicative and answered any questions I had so quickly.
Angelina went above and beyond leaving my the house spotless and doing the laundry which was more than I asked her in the instructions for the home. She even left us a nice bottle of wine!
We had been in discussions since before the pandemic about the possibility of an exchange for baseball spring training.
I highly recommend doing a house swap with her! She is a house swap professional and thinks of every little detail to make her home perfect for visitors.
