Fantastic Place to Stay

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!

Fantastic location in unique float home

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.

Superb location

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!

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.
