Aussie family of 5

Our family loved staying in this unique property. The float home was in a fabulous location, was spotlessly clean and had everything we could possibly need for the duration of our stay. Linda kindly allowed us an early check in which was greatly appreciated following our arrival from Australia. She was a very thoughtful and welcoming host. We would highly recommend this property.

Perfect location and amenities

We absolutely loved our stay in Vancouver and consider ourselves lucky to have found this house. It's ideally situated in North Vancouver, just a quick SeaBus ride across the water to downtown Vancouver. There are multiple restaurants, breweries, markets, and shopping within walking distance of the house. It's also a quick getaway to Whistler and local attractions such as Capilano and Grouse Mountain. The house itself is uniquely positioned in a quaint marina, with ample sunshine and incredible views throughout the day. Lastly, the owners of the house are a joy to work with. They were attentive to our needs and are genuinely caring people. I cannot say enough good things about this house and the city of Vancouver. We cannot wait to go back!

Fantastic float home right on the water. Everything you could ask for in a vacation home.

Everything went very well. Our host answered all of our questions very quickly. Pictures were exactly as you see everything online. Place was immaculate when we arrived. The people that run the marina do a really good job keeping everything clean. Very quiet. 5 minutes to the seabus and downtown. Lovely view of the harbor and the city. We would definitely stay again. Our host Linda did an excellent job from the beginning of our stay right until the last day.

North Vancouver at its very best

Linda and James's float home in North Vancouver was very simply put, perfect in all aspects. My business partner and I have been working in North Vancouver for approximately 7 months of the year the past couple of years and I must say that we have found an absolute diamond in this property. Both Linda and James couldn't have been more accommodating and their property commands a waterfront position in the much sought after Lower Lonsdale area of North Vancouver. The property is immaculate from top to bottom with a very large open plan living area upstairs giving stunning views over the harbour and Downtown Vancouver. The attention to detail provided by Linda and James ensured that we had an amazing stay and we are sure to be booking with them again in the future for further business stays in the area. Many, many thanks Linda and James, your floathome is awesome.

About the host

Hosted by Linda

We have lived on the North Shore for 20 years and have come to love all of the activity and beauty that it offers. When we found this home we immediately fell in love with the location and setting. We will one day move into this wonderful home when we become empty-nesters. For now, we're happy to share this great location and setting with you.

Why they chose this property

The home allows one to get away from it all and still be close to all the attractions Vancouver has to offer. Whether you want to hike the local mountains or wine and dine downtown, you will be close to it all.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy nature and city living in one convenient location. This tranquil, modern, float home is a unique and memorable experience. Located in the outdoor playground of the North Shore with easy access to downtown Vancouver. Easy access to numerous mountain trails, three local ski hills, Whistler and Horseshoe Bay Ferry Terminal. A twelve minute sea bus ride to downtown, the Canada line and Vancouver International Airport.

Foodies will enjoy the walk to the Quay for fresh, local seafood and produce that can be brought back and prepared in a gourmet kitchen.

There is a workshop on the lower level for storing your bikes or tuning your skis. Power up the Sonos and enjoy your favourite music as you work.
