Fabulous location and a very well kept home. Like other reviewers, it took us a little while, about an hour, to acclimate to the rocking. Barely noticeable for the rest of our stay. Fabulous proximity to the Shipyards and other amenities. Will definitely book this home again! Thank you Marilee’s. ##### CRITRMN B. Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erin W. 17 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Sweet Little Floating Home in North Vancouver Fantastic location, house, and communications. My husband and I were on vacation, and the thought of a floating house appealed to both of us. The house itself was small but well-appointed for visitors. When a storm came through, Marilyse checked on us and our comfort level. The gentle rocking and rolling were conducive to great sleep, but be aware it's similar to a houseboat with additional squeaking and sounds from the mooring. Overall a fantastic experience that met our expectations and people who enjoy being on the water. ##### Erin W.

We were in Vancouver over the weekend for the Taylor Swift concert and this place was absolutely perfect for my family of 4! Our girls (7 & 10) shared the pullout couch and we didn't feel cramped at all! Marilyse & Mike live in the unit upstairs, but we barely knew they were there at all. And they were instantly helpful every time we had a question. The unit is an easy 10 minute walk to/from Lonsdale Quay and the Seabus, so getting around Vancouver is a breeze! We'd stay here again in a heartbeat! ##### Josh L. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Debra M. 24 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A little getaway We were in town for a quick visit with our daughter. This sweet floating home seemed like a fun way to stay in the area. It didn’t disappoint. It was small but mighty, having all necessities required for a comfortable stay. The bed was very comfortable, we used the pullout for my daughter and it was ok. It’s in a great location! Walking path right alone the water. A short stroll to the Quay, which is a great place for exploring and dining. We will definitely be keeping it in mind for another stay, but longer next time for sure. The only thing I’d recommend would be some info for guests. I always enjoy a book with ideas for dining or sights in the area. Marilyse was awesome getting back to us with information! We’d highly recommend her beautiful home! ##### Debra M.
