This was a great way to stay in North Van - very accessible from the Sea Bus and lots of space. The place was very clean and well equipped. The view was beautiful. We stayed in the lower unit, which had not been clear to us from the listing. When no one was in the upper unit, it was very peaceful. When four people moved into the upper unit, it became quite noisy, especially in the bedroom, which is close to the joint front door.

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!!
