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.

Cozy spot in a perfect location!
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!
