Detailed Reviews
My son is a University student in Waterloo. He required a temporary location for a 6-week period until his apartment was available. Boardwalk was there to help. They were responsive to our needs and went out of their way to accommodate us during his stay. Situated in an convenient location (close to the universities and great shopping), the house was quiet and well maintained, with cleaning on a regular basis. They supplied the essentials and you never had to ask for anything to be replaced. The staff were friendly and happy to assist. We would highly recommend staying at the Executive Guest Houses & Suites Boardwalk Homes.

My husband and I are between homes and needed to find a suitable place for 3 months. We are renting a one bedroom suite in the complex of stacked townhouses on Glasgow Street. We were very pleasantly surprised that the suite is quite large and is well equipped, decorated very nicely, and the bed is comfortable.
We had a couple of minor problems initially which were taken care of immediately upon notification to the ladies at Boardwalk. The suite was very clean and fresh towels were in the unit. It’s also great to have an in-suite washer and dryer.
The complex is really nice, well maintained, and in a great neighbourhood! It’s close to great shopping, medical, and the universities. It also backs onto trails and green spaces for walking etc.
Our only minor issue is that we can hear the family in the unit above walking around on the hardwood floors but Boardwalk have very kindly offered to provide those people (who are private renters) with a plush rug in the area that might be the most noticeable... e.g., above our bedroom so we don’t hear them at night. We realize that we are not used to having people living above us.
The price point is excellent and we would highly recommend it. Hey, life isn’t perfect but this place is close to perfection!

I spent about a month solo at a very nice Boardwalk studio in Kitchener. It had all what I needed. I found the rent price good as well.
The place was clean, nicely painted, nicely furnished and had cable TV where lots of movies were available.
The two managers Doris and Zoe made my stay comfortable.
Walmart is a 7 minute walk and many restaurants such as Swiss Chalet are close by. Staples is in the mall as well.

The instructions were good for how to get in but there, and the responsiveness of for emails was good, the kitchen was well equipped. The house was quiet. But there were lots of little things that made the house look run down; The front light was either burned out or not turned on which made finding the address and keypad difficult to see at night. The room and bathrooms were reasonably clean. The light beige carpet was pretty dirty and stained throughout the house and the walls had the worst painting I've ever seen and were also stained and dirty. It looked like someone had chosen a couple random colours that were sort of close to the original paint colour and had randomly rolled spots here and there in every room. It looked bad. The furniture was chipped and looked worse for the wear. The bed was ok but leaned to one side., there were no pictures on the wall in my bedroom and the windows were dirty. The yard was ill kempt. I wouldn't call it an executive rental, more like a 2 star Air BNB.

The location of this property and the responsiveness from the customer care team of Zoe and Doris is excellent. All of my requests and communication was swiftly and directly dealt with.

We rented 3 properties from Boardwalk Homes for my wedding in November 2012.
We rented the large house which was extremely spacious, clean, and had all of the modern amenities you could ask for. They even had a big plasma screen with cable TV in the living room, so we could catch up with our English Premier League football games! The house had wi-fi which is a great bonus. Nice kitchen, and even a garden at the back.
There were around 6-7 rooms, each were spacious and clean, some of them had en-suite bathrooms and were split over 4 levels of the house. It was massive!!
It is a great house for large parties staying for weddings or other social occasions over the weekend.
My family also rented 2 of their suites which were side by side and again were very modern and clean and nicely designed. Again they had all the modern amenities including flat screen TVs and wi-fi.
Overall, very happy with the accommodation.

My husband and I have been travelling to the Kitchener area a few times a year for the last 7+ years to visit family in the area. Prior to finding Boardwalk Homes, the only accommodation we could find in the area we needed to be in was the ordinary hotel room which made it impossible to invite family and/or friends over for some relaxing time together. Then - lo and behold - we found Boardwalk Homes which truly offers the perfect solution!
We stayed in a one bedroom suite for our stay over Christmas. From start to finish, our interaction with Erin was a pleasure. She was extremely accommodating, helpful and professional. And - wow - does Boardwalk Homes offer a beautiful "home" away from home! The suite had a full and furnished kitchen, dining area, living area, full bath and lovely large bedroom that had a very large closet complete with wooden hangers. The suite also had a stacked washer and dryer - we'll definitely be able to pack a little lighter next time we stay! The suite is modern and very tastefully decorated with comfortable furnishings and was impeccably cleaned. Because it was winter, we didn't use the little patio area right off the front of the suite but, again, a very nice touch. All of the space, superior furnishings and modern conveniences - including wireless internet - for little more than staying in a local hotel room. Great value and oh so comfortable!
The location of our suite was perfect for us. It was in close proximity to not only our family but to the many stores, restaurants, movie theatre, etc. in the Boardwalk area.
Both my husband and I feel very fortunate to have found Boardwalk Homes - it was truly an awesome stay in an awesome suite. We recommend Boardwalk Homes without hesitation!!
