Let’s face it, if you can dream about owning the perfect home, you can dream about owning two. An extra little space for you to escape the mid-week blues, a care-free home to run away to when life becomes a little too much.It’s vacation season here in BC, so without further ado here are your top five listings currently posted on REW for vacation homes and holiday homeseekers – listing five may surprise you!

Whistler – The glass castle.

First up, we’re running away to Neverland (Whistler) for a breathtaking four-bed, five-bath, mid-century modern mountain escape that is perfectly positioned on the third hole of Nicklaus North Golf Course (one of North America's great championship golf courses). With vast window coverage on all walls, you’ll experience vibrant views of all four seasons, in a location that shows them off all year round.

This vacation home will set you back $10.99 million. But don’t fear, that’s nowhere near as expensive as your first home, right?

Sechelt – Strictly vacation.Sechelt – Strictly vacation.

It appears the floor-to-ceiling windows are a theme in these vacation homes, as our next listing boasts impeccable views of Trail Bay and all four of the Trail Islands. This four-bed, four-bath Sechelt home embodies holiday, with the whole house leading into the main living area and waterfront patio. Warning, this home is strictly for vacationing.

For $3.97 million, you can wave your troubles (and your daily stresses) goodbye as you escape to a world where your biggest priority is what to sip on.

Vancouver – Big numbers, bigger dreams.Vancouver – Big numbers, bigger dreams.

Vancouver – Big numbers, bigger dreams.

Whether you’re from out of town or looking for a stay-cation home, our next listing rises above the city on the 68th floor of Arthur Erickson’s architectural icon. This three-level holiday penthouse offers 180-degree panoramic, west-facing views of Coal Harbour, English Bay, Stanley Park and the North Shore Mountains; it doesn’t get more Vancouver than that.

This three-bed, 3.5-bath (second) suite of your dreams will set you back $23.8 million and my goodness, that’s a big number.

Campbell River – A view from the ship.Campbell River – A view from the ship.

Campbell River – A view from the ship.

All hands on deck, we’re leaving the mainland behind. Our next listing is a two-bed, three-bath oceanfront bungalow in Campbell River. This home features a wall of ship-inspired windows, making you feel like you’re on one of the cruise ships you’ll watch sailing by, with the local marina and floating restaurant just a short stroll away.

For $499,900 this waterfront property is a steal for the boat-loving Homeseeker. If your everyday home is on the water, you might even be able to sail to your vacation house?

Cortes Island – Stand for the Royal Brigade.Cortes Island – Stand for the Royal Brigade.

Cortes Island – Stand for the Royal Brigade.

Please stand for the Royal Brigade. Our final listing contains three separate buildings on site: the house, workshop and… the castle. You read that correctly, “Karl’s Castle” on Cortes Island is officially up for sale and can be all yours to live out your wildest medieval vacations.

For only $440,000, you can call five stories, three turrets, one large dining hall, eight bedrooms and a dungeon your vacation house. Don’t worry, we are as shocked as you are (and pretty tempted to buy).

Goodbye hotels, hello second homes. Now go, you’ve earned a vacation.
