Really enjoyed our stay in the top floor unit if this floating home. The host/manager was very helpful with check-in and check-out, and details about parking. The SeaBus to downtown Vancouver was a short walk away from the unit allowing us to access much of what we were looking for from our visit without needing a car.

Our stay at Ocean Suites was perfect! It was clean, very comfortable, and had everything we needed. It was so peaceful and so beautiful, and the view and the city lights just added to the ambiance. It was everything and more as described and pictured. Thank you so very much to the host and the owner! We can’t wait to come back next winter.
