About this property

Renovated, spacious and bright North Shore garden oasis/one bedroom suite

In the heart of Central Lonsdale, in the city of North Vancouver, this 1910 “Craftsman-era” heritage home is surrounded by 100+ year old cedar and fir trees and beautiful perennial flower beds. A corner lot, on the top of the 19th street hill, with a view of Lions Gate bridge, Burrard Inlet, and Lighthouse Park, this garden oasis is secluded, yet located within easy access to the downtown, the North Shore Mountains, and even Whistler Village. Simply the perfect base to explore and enjoy Vancouver for the first time or while visiting family and friends!

Our home offers a renovated, fully furnished 700 square foot one bedroom self-contained basement suite. Please note if you are taller than 5’10 you may have to slightly duck! Guests are treated to a private entrance accessed via natural stone steps on the North side of the house, just off the gardens. The steps could be somewhat challenging for anyone with significant mobility issues. Motion detector lighting illuminates the path. Parking is available at the front of the house or above the back driveway. You are welcome to use the table/chairs ourside the suite door, but please no smoking/vaping in the suite or anywhere on the property.

Bright and spacious, the floor to ceiling windows in the kitchen area offer peekaboo views of the North Shore. The suite boasts an open plan, carpeting and slate tiles throughout, and all the necessary amenities including in suite laundry. High speed internet access via WIFI, separate controls to base board and forced air heating ensures you can relax and enjoy your home away from home.

We are located close to a number of must see Vancouver sites. Just above the driveway you are immediately at the new North Shore Green Necklace walking path leading into Greenwood Park. For those skiing and biking enthusiasts, or if you just want to take in some hiking, bear watching or spectacular views, there is easy driving access to Grouse Mountain (11 minutes), Mount Seymour (20 minutes), Cypress Bowl (30 minutes), and Whistler Mountain (75 minutes). Other popular destinations like Capilano Suspension Bridge (7 minutes), Stanley Park (10 minutes), Park Royal Shopping Mall (8 minutes) and the Horseshoe Bay Ferry Terminal (16 minutes), are only a short drive away. Or take a leisurely walk or convenient bus ride down Lonsdale and enjoy Lonsdale Quay, and the shops, restaurants, waterpark or ice rink (depending on the season) at the Shipyards. At the base of Lonsdale, take the 12 minute Seabus ride across the water to enjoy downtown Vancouver. Be sure to have you camera ready as you take in spectacular views of the city, mountains, and Burrard Inlet while riding this passenger only ferry.

And if need be, Lions Gate Hospital is a 1 minute car ride, or 13 minute walk away.

Wonderful stay in N Van

Very comfortable stay at this attractive, welcoming and conveniently-located property. Close and easy access to Metro Vancouver and several other attractions in the area. Frances and Terence were very hospitable hosts who were happy to provide valuable advice/tips. The apartment was neat and clean, well-decorated and well-stocked.

Great Location in North Van

Our stay was short and sweet! The listing was just as expected. Although, slightly hidden once you know where it is you can’t miss it. Frances was great and welcoming on arrival and the space was stocked to the brim with essentials. We will definitely keep it in mind in the future.

Sweet and peaceful stay in North Van

What a treat to find this lovely spot surrounded by trees and gardens, yet just a walk away from restaurants and stores on Lonsdale. We were able to spend a week with family in North Vancouver without renting a car. Would definitely recommend it.

Phenomenal sunsets

Beautiful views surrounded by well-tended garden greenery lends a calm to this delightful lower-unit suite. The full kitchen had everything for the cook from quality stoneware to spices, oils & balsamic vinegar! Visiting from Florida, we appreciated that each room has individual heat controls & made use of the full-size clothes washer/dryer. Great wifi & water pressure. Excellent communication with hosts.

Visiting Vancouver

We liked the property as it was like staying in a cozy garden apartment. The garden and the neighborhood is beautiful, quiet and enjoyable with lots of flowers and trees. There was easy access to downtown, shopping, the TransCanada Highway, and many attractions. The apartment was comfortable and well stocked with everything. There is free parking which is hard to find in Vancouver. The host was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay and were glad we chose this location as opposed to the crowded and bustling downtown.

Quaint and lovely

We stayed at this one bedroom unit for a night. It’s close to public transport which we used the bus from Lonsdale quay to home as well as to Lynn canyon. The hosts were so kind to help us with our luggage as we arrived close to midnight from the airport. The unit itself was clean, nicely laid out and comfortably furnished. You can tell that the hosts really care for the comfort of their guests. They were also really helpful with information on tourist activities. I would highly recommend staying here.

We very much enjoyed our stay! All amenities were exactly as described. Check-in details were clear and easy to follow which was extremely helpful as we arrived late at night due to flight delays. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed to cook for coffee, breakfast and meals during our stay. The paved walkway to the suite was beautiful - like a taste of forest in the city with tall cedars and lush landscaping. Frances and Terence were gracious hosts, very accommodating. They gave us helpful tips for navigating the North Vancouver area, transportation and activities. We enjoyed the central location for all activities we were interested in - Deep Cove, Shipyards, Lynn Canyon, and Stanley Park via Seabus using both rental car and city transport as needed.

Frances is a great host and cares very much about your stay. You can see that when you step into the rental suite.Communication was quick, getting in was a breeze, the suite was as described and it was extremely clean. The bed was very hard for our old bones and our car ended up with tree sap from parking where we did on the street. Small minor experiences that probably wouldn’t keep us from staying again but did take away from being perfect. The location was excellent for us to easily get where we wanted and the suite had everything we would possibly need. Frances and Terrance are wonderful hosts and we would definitely look to stay again if in the area.

Beautiful garden suite

This was a gorgeous property for my stay in North Van. Lonsdale Ave. was only a ten-minute walk away, and the neighborhood felt safe and secluded. The listing itself is a basement suite beneath the main house; it was clean, quiet, and private, with plenty of amenities and functioning appliances, and Frances was very cordial. I took my breakfast in the garden every morning - it really did feel like a garden oasis! Nothing but praise for this location; I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
