Beautiful and unique
The house boat is ideally located, immaculately presented and has a stunning view. My husband and I stayed here with three children and were very comfortable. It has everything you will need with a well thought out lay out and lovely decor. It’s a short walk from the sea bus to get to down town Vancouver so ideally located to explore the city on foot. I would highly recommend a stay here. It totally exceeded all expectations.

Birthday getaway
Was an awesome place. I want to live on a floating home - so staying in one for the weekend was a good test. Didn’t disappoint. Close to shipyards, quay and walking path. Everything we needed was there. Highly recommend.

Special Holiday Getaway
We absolutely loved our houseboat experience over the Christmas holiday. It was a relaxing and unique space where we enjoyed catching up with family. The views on the Marina were ever changing with the weather, with the Vancouver skyline in the backdrop. We especially loved the 10 minute walk to the quay for groceries and restaurants. Communication with the manager was very easy.
