About this property

Beautiful, Luxurious, Romantic & Oceanfront Blue Wolf Float Home

We have a luxurious and very modern newly constructed float home right in the Creek Marina in North Vancouver, steps from Lonsdale Quay, restaurants and the SeaBus (15 minutes) to downtown Vancouver. You won't need a car!

Sit on our west facing deck overlooking downtown Vancouver and the North Shore mountains, sip a glass of wine while watching the beautiful sunsets.

Vancouver is a cycling paradise - cycle around the city on the 22 km Vancouver seawall or explore the Spirit Trail on the North Shore (the marina with our float home is beside the Spirit Trail).

We are waterfront in the heart of the North Vancouver, in one of its most vibrant neighborhoods. There are many restaurants within walking distance of the float home. You are a 7 minute walk to the Seabus, and then a 15 minute Seabus ride to the heart of downtown Vancouver: shopping on Robson Street, the Vancouver Art Gallery, theaters, Stanley Park and much more. The Creek Marina is the ultimate water and urban experience, all in one! It's quiet like the country but with all the advantages of the city.

Our home is ideally suited as a romantic get-away or vacation for a couple. You have the entire float home (both floors), no other guests above or below you.

We have a gourmet chef's kitchen with a 2 ovens (Miele speed oven & Miele steam oven), as well as a Miele range and dishwasher and a Sub-Zero fridge.

The float home is highly automated (lighting, heat, blinds), and can be controlled via wall switches, iPad (we leave one for you to use) apps, or using voice commands. You can AirPlay music to the upstairs great room, the master bedroom and master bathroom. You can also use all these things the old fashion way - by flipping switches.

One bathroom is equipped with a steam shower with seating for 2, and the master bedroom has a 2 person soaker tub.

We just love everything about the home and living on the water, and now feel like we are permanently on vacation.

We are relatively new to VRBO, but you can also find reviews on other platforms. Here are a some other platform reviews:

“The float house was above and beyond all vacation rentals we have ever stayed in. It is perfect for a couples get away or to explore Vancouver. Had all the amenities you will need and was a quick walk and seabus away from downtown. Loved the heated floors. You will not be disappointed picking Sylvie & Don's float house.”

“We never write a review - however this place was over the top!!! Beautiful - Luxurious - Spotless - Relaxing - Cozy - Friendly by both the hosts & neighbours - Safe & Secure - easy access to the city Dream Vacation Place!!”

“I have stayed in a lot of vacation rentals but this house takes the cake for the best vacation rental. The house is so nice and perfect I kinda can’t believe they rent it out. It is the cleanest place I have ever stayed. Not a spot of dirt or dust or even a crumb in a drawer. Spotless! The location is awesome. Very easy to walk to the SeaBus. The views of the mountains, marina, and city while sitting on the patio are second to none. In addition to cleanliness, the place was also VERY well stocked. Tons of spices for cooking as well as tools, utensils, gorgeous china, etc. The kitchen is top notch and will have everything you need. I also loved the home speaker system that allowed you to airplay from your device to any room in the house. They covered everything with meticulous detail in the guest info book. Everything about the place is meticulously thought out.”

“I travel a ton and love unique vacation rentals but this one tops them all! View, walkability, decor, amenities, communication, spotless and warm. We truly didn’t want to leave.”

“Wow! This floating home is amazing. It is a gorgeous home and has plenty of well designed space. It is beautifully decorated and everything is done exquisitely. The location is fabulous with easy access to the Lonsdale Market and the SeaBus. And the views are stunning. Loved every second that was spent on this special floating home.”

As of May 1, 2024 British Columbia has new restrictions on short-term-rental properties, our float home is exempt as it is our primary residence, and the marina is located on Squamish First Nation land. Additionally, we pay the Squamish Nation a yearly licence fee for using our home as a short-term-rental when we are not occupying it ourselves.

Potential guests need to have prior positive reviews on VRBO.

About the host

Hosted by Sylvie Trudel

Host profile image
We are Sylvie and Don from Vancouver. We love traveling and when we are away, we like to share our float home with our guests so they too can experience how special it is to live ON the water. When we travel we like to stay in houses that are immaculately clean and uncluttered, luxurious and have something special about them. We have followed that philosophy with design and construction of our float home, there are many upgraded features in the home, and living on the water is truly a wonderful and special experience.

When we are not enjoying all that Vancouver has to offer, we are likely staying at our second home on Cayman Brac (Listing 1485429).

Why they chose this property

This property has everything! Close to everything you don’t need a car. The house is ON the water in a very quiet marina, so you can relax after a day of exploring and watch the seals and sea otters play around you. Many restaurants and markets nearby.

What makes this property unique

Blue Wolf Float Home was built for adventure but also comfort and luxury. You will enjoy the ultra modern kitchen, the great big deck where you can laze around or eat a romantic dinner. Also enjoy a stream shower and/or a bath - all designed for two.
