Special family weekend

We had a great day at our first ever floating house. It was absolutely beautiful and experiencing the light, gentle rocking motion at the house when waves were coming in more was really interesting. I definitely napped a lot! It was a beautiful home with all the amenities.

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!

Short Get-Away

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.

Fans of Floating Homes!

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.
