North Vancouver at its very best

Linda and James's float home in North Vancouver was very simply put, perfect in all aspects. My business partner and I have been working in North Vancouver for approximately 7 months of the year the past couple of years and I must say that we have found an absolute diamond in this property. Both Linda and James couldn't have been more accommodating and their property commands a waterfront position in the much sought after Lower Lonsdale area of North Vancouver. The property is immaculate from top to bottom with a very large open plan living area upstairs giving stunning views over the harbour and Downtown Vancouver. The attention to detail provided by Linda and James ensured that we had an amazing stay and we are sure to be booking with them again in the future for further business stays in the area. Many, many thanks Linda and James, your floathome is awesome.

A magical place to stay!

We have loved everything about being here. Linda is just wonderful, and the property is even better than it looks in the photos. The master bedroom is so comfortable, and all of the fixtures and fittings are high end. We enjoyed a lovely barbecue one evening whilst sitting watching the sunset. Very few places I could think of that would be nicer! Book without hesitation; you’ll have a fantastic vacation.

Fantastic property with spectacular outlook

We really enjoyed staying at Linda’s Float Home in North Vancouver. The house is beautiful, modern, clean and spacious, and suited our needs perfectly. The outlook over the water to downtown Vancouver is spectacular. The house is also very conveniently positioned to get around easily. Walking distance to the market and bus and sea-bus stops, everything is in easy reach. We would definitely recommend a stay in Linda’s Float home.

Fantastic property! Everything was perfect.

We had 3 nights in Vancouver and were thrilled to find there was so much to enjoy in the evenings locally after a day of sight seeing downtown. The harbour front is fantastic for restaurants and live music. Linda was so helpful and supper organised. We had a great stay and recommend this fantastic floating home to anyone interested.

About the host

Hosted by Linda

We have lived on the North Shore for 20 years and have come to love all of the activity and beauty that it offers. When we found this home we immediately fell in love with the location and setting. We will one day move into this wonderful home when we become empty-nesters. For now, we're happy to share this great location and setting with you.

Why they chose this property

The home allows one to get away from it all and still be close to all the attractions Vancouver has to offer. Whether you want to hike the local mountains or wine and dine downtown, you will be close to it all.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy nature and city living in one convenient location. This tranquil, modern, float home is a unique and memorable experience. Located in the outdoor playground of the North Shore with easy access to downtown Vancouver. Easy access to numerous mountain trails, three local ski hills, Whistler and Horseshoe Bay Ferry Terminal. A twelve minute sea bus ride to downtown, the Canada line and Vancouver International Airport.

Foodies will enjoy the walk to the Quay for fresh, local seafood and produce that can be brought back and prepared in a gourmet kitchen.

There is a workshop on the lower level for storing your bikes or tuning your skis. Power up the Sonos and enjoy your favourite music as you work.
