Beautiful, Luxurious, Romantic & Oceanfront Blue Wolf Float Home
About this docked boat rental
Situated in North Vancouver, this charming docked boat for $545 per night is a fantastic choice for your next trip. We have a luxurious and very modern newly constructed float home right in the Creek Marina in North Vancouver, steps from Lonsdale Quay, restaurants and the SeaBus (15 minutes) to downtown Vancouver. You won't need a car! Sit on our west facing deck overlooking downtown Vancouver and the North Shore mountains, sip a glass of wine while watching the beautiful sunsets. Vancouver is a cycling paradise - cycle around the city on the 22 km Vancouver seawall or explore the Spirit Trail on the North Shore (the marina with our float home is beside the Spirit Trail). We are waterfront in the heart of the North Vancouver, in one of its most vibrant neighborhoods. There are many restaurants within walking distance of the float home. You are a 7 minute walk to the Seabus, and then a 15 minute Seabus ride to the heart of downtown Vancouver: shopping on Robson Street, the Vancouver Art Gallery, theaters, Stanley Park and much more. The Creek Marina is the ultimate water and urban experience, all in one! It's quiet like the country but with all the advantages of the city. Our home is ideally suited as a romantic get-away or vacation for a couple. You have the entire float home (both floors), no other guests above or below you. We have a gourmet chef's kitchen with a 2 ovens (Miele speed oven & Miele steam oven), as well as a Miele range and dishwasher and a Sub-Zero fridge. The float home is highly automated (lighting, heat, blinds), and can be controlled via wall switches, iPad (we leave one for you to use) apps, or using voice commands. You can AirPlay music to the upstairs great room, the master bedroom and master bathroom. You can also use all these things the old fashion way - by flipping switches. One bathroom is equipped with a steam shower with seating for 2, and the master bedroom has a 2 person soaker tub. We just love everything about the home and living on the water, and now feel like we are permanently on vacation. We are relatively new to VRBO, but you can also find reviews on other platforms. Here are a some other platform reviews: “The float house was above and beyond all vacation rentals we have ever stayed in. It is perfect for a couples get away or to explore Vancouver. Had all the amenities you will need and was a quick walk and seabus away from downtown. Loved the heated floors. You will not be disappointed picking Sylvie & Don's float house.” “We never write a review - however this place was over the top!!! Beautiful - Luxurious - Spotless - Relaxing - Cozy - Friendly by both the hosts & neighbours - Safe & Secure - easy access to the city Dream Vacation Place!!” “I have stayed in a lot of vacation rentals but this house takes the cake for the best vacation rental. The house is so nice and perfect I kinda can’t believe they rent it out. It is the cleanest place I have ever stayed. Not a spot of dirt or dust or even a crumb in a drawer. Spotless! The location is awesome. Very easy to walk to the SeaBus. The views of the mountains, marina, and city while sitting on the patio are second to none. In addition to cleanliness, the place was also VERY well stocked. Tons of spices for cooking as well as tools, utensils, gorgeous china, etc. The kitchen is top notch and will have everything you need. I also loved the home speaker system that allowed you to airplay from your device to any room in the house. They covered everything with meticulous detail in the guest info book. Everything about the place is meticulously thought out.” “I travel a ton and love unique vacation rentals but this one tops them all! View, walkability, decor, amenities, communication, spotless and warm. We truly didn’t want to leave.” “Wow! This floating home is amazing. It is a gorgeous home and has plenty of well designed space. It is beautifully decorated and everything is done exquisitely. The location is fabulous with easy access to the Lonsdale Market and the SeaBus. And the views are stunning. Loved every second that was spent on this special floating home.” Key features: - central air conditioning (summer) - heated floors + forced air furnace (winter) - 1 parking included (although you are walking distance to almost everything) - 2 person steam shower - 2 person soaker tub - balcony with natural gas BBQ and fire pit - high speed fiber optic Internet - gourmet fully-equipped kitchen, Miele and SubZero appliances - fridge - natural gas range - speed oven (microwave or convection) - steam oven (steam or convection) - wine fridge - dishwasher As of May 1, 2024 British Columbia has new restrictions on short-term-rental properties, our float home is exempt as it is our primary residence, and the marina is located on Squamish First Nation land.

Our float home experience was amazing! My husband and I went to Vancouver for our 25th wedding anniversary and chose this cute float home to stay in. We very much fell in love with this first class property. It was clean, modern and extremely well organized. The owner provided a notebook with clear information on the float home along with things to do. It was so nice to wake up to the sound of seagulls and surrounding water. The home rocked very slightly but not often. The rocking was barely noticeable.
The area surrounding the float home was quiet and safe and conveniently located in the middle of Vancouver activities. We took many walks between the float home and Lonsdale Quay market which is nearby. We did have a car but it probably isn't necessary. Getting into downtown Vancouver was a breeze and so was driving into the mountains.
We highly recommend this property and, if we ever make it back to Vancouver, will stay here again! Thank you for sharing your home!

Blue Wolf is without doubt the best VRBO property we have stayed in. Aside from the quality of the property - which is absolutely as described and shown in the photos - the house is kitted out with absolutely everything you need. The location is superb. Just a few minutes walk from the sea bus and the bus station, you really don’t need to rent a car here, unless you are going further afield than the greater Vancouver area.
It was a pleasure to discover the local restaurants and coffee bars. And Earnest Ice cream became a regular haunt!
So easy to get to Downtown Vancouver, as well as the major North shore attractions.
Communication with Sylvie was so easy and she responded very quickly. We will definitely book Blue Wolf when we return to visit family on the future!

The float home in N. Vancouver was a spectacular experience for our 25th anniversary! It was exceptionally clean, well stocked, and the location was fantastic! We were very happy with how walkable the area is, how close we were to the SeaBus and how easy it was in general to get around.
The furniture was very comfortable, and all the accommodations one would need for a very nice time were provided. We will definitely be back to this location!!

This was our first time to ever even be on a houseboat and this home was beyond our wildest imagination! Very well appointed, lovely design, and stunning art work! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return.

The property and location were perfect! No issues whatsoever were experienced, with hassle free check in, hassle free car parking and a wonderfully equipped property.
The kitchen had everything you could wish for and all top branded appliances. We loved the views from the terrace balcony and the lovely artwork/internal decor. This was far better than many 5 star hotels we have stayed in. The location is quiet, yet you are only a 5 minute walk to the sea bus into Downtown to Vancouver. The area is extremely safe and friendly , with so many restaurants and bars nearby. Joeys and the Tap Barrel both done great food with fantastic views towards downtown, lovely at night. We have stayed many times in Vancouver and BC, but this has to be our favourite place so far.
The experience of living on a floating home, sadly only for 5 days, was one we will cherish and this will be our first choice when we return. Also, the hosts were super responsive when we had a couple of questions. All in all, an utter joy.

We stayed in the Blue Wolf Float Home during our stay in Vancouver. The house is a perfect location and equipped very nice and with a personal style.
The walk to the ferry that takes you to Vancouver is roughly 5 minutes. In the same area you will find lot‘s of restaurants.
5 stars are not enough for this home !!

My husband and I spent the second half of our honeymoon from the Midwestern United States at the Blue Wolf Float House and absolutely loved it! This was a unique experience and we are so happy we chose it. Sylvie was very kind, communicative, and welcoming. The house is spotless with all the “smart” and upscale amenities. We especially loved sitting on the balcony. The location is perfect for trips to West End, Stanley Park, Capilano Suspension Bridge, Granville Island, Horseshoe Bay BC Ferries, and so much more. We recommend the Blue Wolf for anyone wanting a clean, welcoming, unique visit to Vancouver!

Beautifully created home
This home has been furnished with light and openness and ease of living in mind; the lights and shades are programmed conveniently to protect your privacy and create as comfortable an environment as possible leaving you to the option to adjust any setting as you wish. The marina staff are friendly and helpful and the local dine in or take out options are so good you never need to get into your car. And it is as quiet as any serene neighborhood on the north shore as the boats are mostly unoccupied except for the boat houses spread around the marina- and it all
comes with a killer view of Mt Seymour and the Capilano canyon and peaks. The only missing piece was a king size bed which hopefully might be provided someday for those older folks not used to spooning any more.

A Unique experience
Better than a 5 star hotel........it's so well equipped.
This floating house comes with a front and rear patio which makes it ideal to sit outside.
The owners are kind and very helpful and we highly recommend this property.

Situation idéale!
La maison est superbe et très bien équipée. Il ne manque rien!
La vue sur les bateaux et surtout sur les montagnes c’est époustouflant. Le « fire pit » donne une belle ambiance pour une soirée un peu fraîche.
Par contre si il y avait un auvent ce serait mieux que les parasols lorsqu’il fait très soleil.
La maison est à entre 5 et 15 minutes de marche de tout : épiceries, excellents restaurants… Sea Bus… facile de se rendre à Sea to Sky, Whistler… ferry pour Victoria, les musées.
Nous sommes très contents de notre vacance.

February stay
The Blue Wolf Float Home suited me perfectly for my stay. Sylvie and Don were excellent and responsive hosts. The float home has all the conveniences you could wish for and more. The location is fantastic for exploring locally as well as venturing downtown either by car or public transport. It was a great place to stay.

Don and Sylvie were amazing, easy to contact and felt like old friends. They fixed a couple of minor issues the same day they occurred. Will look forward to renting this beautiful home again.
