About this property

Vancouvers Largest Float Home | Ocean & City Views

🌊✨ With over 2,200 square feet of stunning cedar interiors 🌲, soaring exposed timber beams 🪵, and a prized corner location on the marina ⚓, this is the largest — float home available on Airbnb in North Vancouver 🌆

Unobstructed ocean views stretch in every direction. Watch the downtown Vancouver skyline shimmer across the harbour at night, and feel the gentle movement of the Pacific beneath your feet.

This isn’t just a vacation rental. It’s a private floating estate

Welcome to the Ultimate Getaway on the Water

One of the most extraordinary floating homes in all of Metro Vancouver

Moored at Mosquito Creek Marina in the heart of Lower Lonsdale, this two-level, 2,200+ square foot cedar float home offers something genuinely rare: the scale and warmth of a luxury house, the soul of a yacht, and the panoramic views of a penthouse — all floating gently on the Pacific Ocean.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

THE VIEWS — THREE DIRECTIONS, ZERO COMPROMISES

Most waterfront properties give you one view. Ours gives you three.

From the upper terrace, the downtown Vancouver skyline stretches across the water to the south — a postcard-perfect backdrop for your morning coffee or evening wine under the stars.

From the living room windows, the North Shore mountains rise dramatically to the west — snow-capped in winter, emerald green in summer, spectacular year-round.

From the lower deck, the open harbour surrounds you on all sides — tugboats, sailboats, seaplanes, and even the occasional harbour seal drifting past just metres away.

You are not near the water.
You are ON it.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

THE UPPER LEVEL — LIVING, DINING & THE GREAT ROOM

The heart of the home is the upper-level great room, where vaulted yellow cedar ceilings soar overhead with exposed timber beams beside a wall of windows overlooking the city skyline.

This is where you cook, dine, gather, laugh, sip wine, and completely lose track of time.

The open kitchen is fully stocked with stainless steel appliances and naturally lit by harbour-facing windows. Whether you’re making breakfast before a mountain adventure or cooking dinner while the sunset lights up the skyline, the kitchen makes every meal memorable.

The dining area flows directly onto the covered upper terrace — an entertainer’s dream with panoramic views and rain-or-shine comfort.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

THE OUTDOOR SPACES — 800 SQ FT OF FRESH AIR

One of the home’s greatest luxuries is its incredible 800 square feet of outdoor living space spread across two levels.

Upper Covered Terrace
Your year-round outdoor living room. Rain or shine, summer or winter — this is the place to gather for dinner, uncork a bottle, and watch the city lights dance across the harbour.

Lower Deck
At water level, the magic of float home living truly hits you.
You are sitting directly on the Pacific Ocean.

Seals and otters surface nearby
Eagles, ducks and loons soar and swim by the house
Herons land beside the dock

Together, these terraces offer more outdoor space than most Vancouver condos offer indoors.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

THE BEDROOMS

Primary Bedroom
A peaceful private sanctuary with direct water and city views, a spa-inspired ensuite, and an oversized walk-in closet.

The ensuite features:

Open rainfall shower
Solid teak vanity
Oversized standalone soaker tub for two

Bedroom 2
Queen-size bedroom with cozy modern comfort and dedicated desk.

Bedroom 3
Bunk bed setup with 2 single beds — perfect for kids or friends.

Flex Room
Creative studio space ideal for yoga, exercise, meditation, or art, complete with an easel for creative inspiration.

The lower-level family room opens directly onto the outdoor terrace.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
