If you're looking for self-catering apartments, minimum 2-3 days, then try Allura. I've used them lots of times both summer & winter, always great service.

Plenty in Vancouver. Was there last year.

Grouse Mountain and the Grouse Grind
Callipeno (SP?) suspension bridge
A day in Stanley Park, hire bikes, roller blades etc. Also a sea life centre in there but didn't go in.
Granville Market
Maritime Museum
Space Centre

Stayed at the Delta Suites in both Vancouver and Whistler. In Whistler this consisted of a double bed room, lounge with double sofa bed, bathroom and full kitchen, plus balcony

For a few days yes, but you'll probably want to start exploring out of Vancouver after that.

Usual downtown stuff e.g. shopping/museums/cinemas.
Walk around Stanley Park
Beaches are great on a sunny day (English Bay, Kits, Jericho)
Grouse Mountain is a good day out for small ones in good weather.
Rent sea-kayaks at Deep Cove for a few hrs.

And if you leave the family downtown, there's fun (and non-life threatening) biking on Mt. Seymour and at SFU/Burnaby, both 30mins away.

Edit: Unsponsored makes a good point about Capilano Bridge but there's a fee. Lynn Canyon is similar but free, nice forest walking around both rivers.
