We had a fantastic stay in this lovely float home apartment in the most perfect North Vancouver location. It was a 10-minute walk from the Seabus ferry terminal which is just a 12-minute journey to downtown Vancouver. Had everything you’d need and was fully self-contained with super fast internet service. And the views at night of the Vancouver skyline were breathtaking.
5.0 / 5.0
The house boat was perfect for my wife and I. The view was spectacular, as we found ourselves eating dinner at the house multiple nights. North Vancouver was a lovely part of town to walk around, and the SeaBus quickly puts you in GasTown for other adventures. I’d highly recommend!

Superb location, seals outside your windows, very quaint, well appointed and ideally located house. Would definitely recommend!

We came to North Vancouver to visit our son (and to escape the Florida heat!) who lives and works here. Our week long stay was delightful, especially so with the lovely accommodations of the Floating Home. The view of the marina and city skyline from the open floor plan living room area was beautiful, even on the rainy days.
Everything was just as advertised - clean, neat, modern - and will remain on our preferred list for any future visits.

Exactly as presented. An easy walk to the Seabus. Gorgeous views of Vancouver. Everything you need for a comfortable stay. The murphy bed is very cool. Lovely being gently rocked to sleep each night. The owner was super helpful and communicative.

Wow, if you want a unique experience, a great view of the city, and to be close to Grouse Mountain, this spot is for you. We loved our time here!

The float house had everything we needed. It was relaxing to open up the doors, and enjoy the fresh air and views. It was a beautiful walk along the water to the Quay where there is shopping and many restaurants and coffee shops.

The Floating House was a great place to stay in North Vancouver! It was clean, peaceful and had everything we needed. The Floating House is located on a walking path which put a lot of coffee shops, restaurants and shops within walking distance.

The entire family enjoyed the houseboat. It was our first time and want to do it again! The location was close to lots of restaurants but have to cross the bridge for the main attractions. The area was peaceful and had lovely views

We LOVED staying on this charming floating home. The home was clean, beautifully decorated and exceeded our expectations. Quiet. Restaurants were a shore line walk away. Everything about the place was perfect and we'd go back in a heartbeat. Kris was a great communicator and all the instructions were so helpful! Loved it!!

Beautiful, scenic house boat stay in north Vancouver. We loved the location with a walking path and gorgeous skyline view of the city at night. We had excellent accomodations and amenities including Prime and Netflix. We would not hesitate to come back.

We recently spent a month at this amazing float home. We cannot speak highly enough about our experience. The home is exactly as represented. It is immaculate and beautifully appointed in every way. Our one request to the Manager was dealt with immediately. We are very happy with every aspect of our stay and I’m quite certain we will return when Vancouver next calls us.

Lovely property with great views. Managed some sunshine so kayaked in the marina which was great too.

Was an awesome place. I want to live on a floating home - so staying in one for the weekend was a good test. Didn’t disappoint.
Close to shipyards, quay and walking path.
Everything we needed was there.
Highly recommend.

We absolutely loved our houseboat experience over the Christmas holiday. It was a relaxing and unique space where we enjoyed catching up with family. The views on the Marina were ever changing with the weather, with the Vancouver skyline in the backdrop. We especially loved the 10 minute walk to the quay for groceries and restaurants. Communication with the manager was very easy.

4.0 / 5.0
We very much enjoyed staying on the float home! It is a calm, relaxing and beautiful environment to enjoy Vancouver from. Accessing the city is easy thanks to the nearby seabus. The development of the shipyard district gives the marina a nice extra surrounding. We loved the slight rocking of the float home each now and then. The amenities are good, we didn't miss anything. Would go there again!

Did not disappoint! Beautiful property, location and overall stay. Even the teenagers were impressed, and enjoyed “seal spotting” along the marina docks.
Easy to get around, a peaceful and quiet weekend spot. Can’t wait to come back.

Our group of 3 friends had the wonderful experience of staying at this terrific float home for 3 nights! Exactly as advertised, clean, comfortable, bright and airy! A real pleasure to stay in such a unique home. A+ location and A+ property manager, Kris and her husband jumped in to help with a small plumbing issue when we arrived that was taken care of immediately. So appreciate every attention to detail!

We really enjoyed our stay here! What a unique place! It was close to the SeaBus, which made getting to and from the city super easy. The views were great and any questions we had were answered quickly by the property manager. Overall, what a great way to end our Vancouver vacation!
5.0 / 5.0
We loved our stay in this unique, beautiful floating home! The location can't be beat; you can sit on the couch and watch the boats in the marina, the sunrise, sunset, and the city of Vancouver in the distance. We even saw a sea lion swim by. The check in process was very easy, which was great because we didn't arrive until 1 am. We were on the upper level, but never heard the renters below us because the owner has had the floors professionally sound proofed. We didn't use the kitchen, but it looked well stocked! And everything is VERY tastefully decorated. Just a treat to stay here. Also, excellent internet and TV options (netflix, etc). Would absolutely recommend this place to a friend and would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Loved the property, easy to walk to restaurants, coffee houses and grocery store. Weather and scenery was beautiful. Only thing that could have made it better was deck on the property. Overall- loved it, and would definitely stay again.

Have stayed twice already, excited for our third booking! Can’t beat this float home xo
5.0 / 5.0
We loved this accommodation. The views of downtown Vancouver skyline beyond the gently swaying sailboats in the marina were amazing. Loved getting gently rocked to sleep at night by the moving tides. The home was clean, comfortable, well appointed.
The kayaks were a special and unexpected treat - I kayaked once or twice around the calm marina waters every day, sometimes accompanied by curious sea lions.
The location was great - right next to Lonsdale Quay market with great food, groceries, and restaurants and the seabus providing access to downtown and beyond through the skytrain system. We didn't need to use our car at all
We'd stay here again for sure!

Our family of four stayed in the upstairs apartment over the course of a weekend, and have an excellent stay. Very clean, comfortable, and parking and entry was easy. Communication with Kris was fast. Would defintely recommend!
5.0 / 5.0
We loved the view, the occasional slight rocking and the overall set up. I'd almost forgotten about the Murphy bed and loved the reveal of opening it up. The kitchen had everything we needed and the short walk to Lonsdale Quay meant that we could get anywhere. Oh and we loved the view.
5.0 / 5.0
My first time in a floating apartment. A unique and fun experience! Great location: 10 minute walk to a grocery store, good restaurants (check out Joey's) and the water taxi called the SeaBus. I was pleased to find out that there are 5 or 6 brew pubs within a 20 minute walk as well. Score! This is on the second floor. Sometimes the whole apartment can move back and forth a bit. The boat dock/marina is mellow. I only saw two boats coming and going during a three night stay. Also saw a few seals swimming around. There is a great public walking/biking path right outside of the marina as well. I would stay again.
5.0 / 5.0
My husband and I agreed that this was probably our favourite vacation rental to date! The location is absolutely perfect - within walking distance to the water taxi, market and tonnes of restaurants.
Upon entering the spacious living space, I was blown away by the huge windows with stunning views of the marina! The pictures do not do it justice. I couldn't recommend this place more!

5.0 / 5.0
The houseboat combines all the best features of upscale hotel and waterfront living. It is really well outfitted (including kayaks) and a great location with amazing views of the city and a laid back marina vibe. Harbor seals swimming by in the morning and beautiful sunsets. Kris was extremely responsive to all requests. This will be our choice for any future Vancouver stays.
4.0 / 5.0
This is an unique opportunity to stay on a floating home in North Vancouver facing the downtown and very close to the sea bus. There appears to be two properties listed in this one home an upper and a lower unit. We have stayed in both. Both are well appointed. The upper has a bit more living space since it only has one bathroom.
