What a view!!! So enjoyed exploring North Vancouver. The kitchen was well set up with everything you could need (though some more wine glasses would be great). Can’t say enough about the view.
This was our second visit to the Float Home and we were as enchanted as during our last visit!! The location is amazing - everything is nearby and being in the marina is truly magical! The house is clean, well equipped, and very comfortable. Communication from the host was clear, timely, and helpful. We highly recommend this location and will absolutely return (again!) if/when possible!!
What stood out? Everything. When I first arrived at the float home, I met the person who does cleaning. We had a lovely chat, a great welcome to the vrbo. I entered the suite and was greeted by views of ocean, sky, floating homes and downtown Vancouver. Later I'd see herons, geese, ducks, seals, birds and tiny fish. Day or night, sun or cloud; all majestic panoramas on the rising and falling tides.The kitchen was outfitted with everything needed, and more. Same for living, bed and bath rooms. It was very comfortable and blissfully quiet.There are many places nearby to explore. Interesting shoreline walk along Spirit Trail. Pamphlets and books in-suite for highlights of area. The host was readily available to answer questions.Highly recommended. Would return in a flash.
Check in was easy and straightforward. Living area was great, loved facing the harbor and watching the seals floating around. Just a short walk to the Quay market for eating and drinking. Also liked Knead coffee nearby in the morning.
This was our 2nd stay at this property, we love the location and the uniqueness of the floating home. It's perfect for our work away from work travels as well as being in a great location for fun.
Absolutely incredible property, the harbour seals were a big highlight. Kitchen was equiped with everything needed to make meals. Only thing fhat could be improved is the ease of finding the location and actually accessing the property. Once there we enjoyed our stay, it truly is a hidden gem. Restaurants and shopping are just a 10 minute walk away.
The location was superb and unique. There was a small problem with the coffee maker, and the host was quick to replace it.I would say that the place had missed some significant cleaning areas, such as dirty sheets on the pullout, Murphy bed, and hair in a pile on the shelf in the shower. We also found a few different dishes, put away dirty. Which would be hard to know for the host. The couch is extremely worn to almost falling apart, and really should be replaced.Being right on the water was lovely, and the view unbeatable of the Vancouver skyline. We saw seals right out our window, and lots of birds.Would love to give five stars for how quickly the host responded, and the location, but lowered it because of the lack of tidiness and rundown condition of some of the accommodations.
