She and her husband were truly helpful, responsive and accommodating. The houseboat was clean, comfortable and in a great location to visit all the sites in Vancouver. We will definitely stay again on our next visit to the city!. ##### Như N. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Judy C.

(Lovely fluffy towels) It was accessible to city, yet far enough away to be peaceful. Friendly, helpful hosts. We had a wonderful time. Thanks! ##### Judy C.

Such a fun stay, perfect location! It’s across the harbor from the hustle and bustle of downtown but right next to the SeaBus terminal so you might as well be downtown. Quieter, easy to move around, and just feels so much more comfortable! Don’t hesitate, book this floating escape! ##### kyle j. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### CRITRMN B. Jan 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful and comfortable! Fabulous location and a very well kept home. Like other reviewers, it took us a little while, about an hour, to acclimate to the rocking. Barely noticeable for the rest of our stay. Fabulous proximity to the Shipyards and other amenities. Will definitely book this home again! Thank you Marilee’s. ##### CRITRMN B. Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erin W. Dec 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Sweet Little Floating Home in North Vancouver Fantastic location, house, and communications. My husband and I were on vacation, and the thought of a floating house appealed to both of us. The house itself was small but well-appointed for visitors. When a storm came through, Marilyse checked on us and our comfort level. The gentle rocking and rolling were conducive to great sleep, but be aware it's similar to a houseboat with additional squeaking and sounds from the mooring. Overall a fantastic experience that met our expectations and people who enjoy being on the water. ##### Erin W. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Debra M. Feb 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A little getaway We were in town for a quick visit with our daughter. This sweet floating home seemed like a fun way to stay in the area. It didn’t disappoint. It was small but mighty, having all necessities required for a comfortable stay. The bed was very comfortable, we used the pullout for my daughter and it was ok. It’s in a great location! Walking path right alone the water. A short stroll to the Quay, which is a great place for exploring and dining. We will definitely be keeping it in mind for another stay, but longer next time for sure. The only thing I’d recommend would be some info for guests. I always enjoy a book with ideas for dining or sights in the area. Marilyse was awesome getting back to us with information! We’d highly recommend her beautiful home! ##### Debra M.
