Guest access
You have access to all parts of the house.
Other things to note:

Marina living is a very unique experience. The float homes are nestled close to each other and because of that excessive noise, loud parties or large gatherings are not an option.
As well, E-TEN is a float home, so it sits on a body of water, which means there is some ongoing movement to the house, sometimes a bit more during big weather events or king tides. Something to keep in mind if you are prone to motion sickness.
Please note that due to insurance requirements the booking party has to be over the age of 25.

Beautiful house on the water
Absolutely immaculate and well appointed houseboat in a wonderful location close to the ferry and lonsdale restaurants. Great views from the rooftop deck! Felt very safe in the marina and appreciated the easy parking so we could easily move around the greater Vancouver area. Wonderful host. Five star visit!

About the host

Hosted by Claude

Host profile image
We are Marianne & Nicolas and have been the proud owners of this magnificent home for the past 4 years. We did a lot of work on the house to make it ‘our own’ and now we are looking forward to sharing this home with guest from all over the world.
The decision to purchase a residence here in Vancouver was made because of our
daughter, Claude. In the year 2000 she moved from our home country Luxembourg to Canada and established a life here in B.C. In 2019 we were finally able to come for a longer visit as we had recently retired and wanted to spend some quality time with our daughter and grandson. Very quickly we came to the decision to start splitting our time between Canada and Europe and ended up purchasing E-TEN in Mosquito Creek Marina.
We hope that you will love our house just as much as we do and we can guarantee that Claude and her partner Brian will be taking great care in making sure that you have everything you need for an unforgettable stay at the E-TEN.

Why they chose this property

The Londsdale Quay Area of North Vancouver is a lovely place to live, as most ammeneties are walking distance and getting to Downtown Vancouver is so convenient via Sea Bus.
