When friends from abroad asked us to recommend rental accommodations during their visits, we realized there was a missing link between cookie-cutter listings and genuine Canadian experiences. In 2018, hospitality veteran Sofia Patel and travel-tech entrepreneur Marcus LeBlanc launched RentTourismCA.website to bridge that gap. Headquartered in Vancouver and with regional curators in major destinations—Calgary, Toronto, Quebec City, and Halifax—we vet each property personally, ensuring it meets our “Local Comforts, Authentic Experiences” standard.
Our mission is twofold: to empower property owners by showcasing their spaces to global travelers, and to guide guests toward stays that resonate with the rhythms of each Canadian community. From Scandinavian-inspired A-frame cabins overlooking Okanagan vineyards to heritage brownstones within walking distance of Montréal’s cobblestone streets, every host shares insider tips on restaurants, hidden trails, and cultural events. Behind the scenes, our proprietary platform streamlines booking, secure payments, and 24/7 guest support, while our on-the-ground teams handle check-ins, cleanings, and maintenance.
We believe travel transforms when you feel at home, even when you’re far from it. That’s why every listing includes thoughtful welcome amenities—local coffee roasters’ blends, artisan chocolates, city transit passes, and personalized guidebooks co-authored with hosts. Our sustainability pledge ensures eco-friendly cleaning practices, optional carbon-offset contributions, and partnerships with local conservation initiatives. Whether you’re planning a family reunion in Banff or a solo writing retreat in Gaspé, RentTourismCA makes every stay authentically Canadian, remarkably comfortable, and seamlessly supported.
