About this property

Renovated, spacious and bright North Shore garden oasis/one bedroom suite

In the heart of Central Lonsdale, in the city of North Vancouver, this 1910 “Craftsman-era” heritage home is surrounded by 100+ year old cedar and fir trees and beautiful perennial flower beds. A corner lot, on the top of the 19th street hill, with a view of Lions Gate bridge, Burrard Inlet, and Lighthouse Park, this garden oasis is secluded, yet located within easy access to the downtown, the North Shore Mountains, and even Whistler Village. Simply the perfect base to explore and enjoy Vancouver for the first time or while visiting family and friends!

Our home offers a renovated, fully furnished 700 square foot one bedroom self-contained basement suite. Please note if you are taller than 5’10 you may have to slightly duck! Guests are treated to a private entrance accessed via natural stone steps on the North side of the house, just off the gardens. The steps could be somewhat challenging for anyone with significant mobility issues. Motion detector lighting illuminates the path. Parking is available at the front of the house or above the back driveway. You are welcome to use the table/chairs ourside the suite door, but please no smoking/vaping in the suite or anywhere on the property.

Bright and spacious, the floor to ceiling windows in the kitchen area offer peekaboo views of the North Shore. The suite boasts an open plan, carpeting and slate tiles throughout, and all the necessary amenities including in suite laundry. High speed internet access via WIFI, separate controls to base board and forced air heating ensures you can relax and enjoy your home away from home.

We are located close to a number of must see Vancouver sites. Just above the driveway you are immediately at the new North Shore Green Necklace walking path leading into Greenwood Park. For those skiing and biking enthusiasts, or if you just want to take in some hiking, bear watching or spectacular views, there is easy driving access to Grouse Mountain (11 minutes), Mount Seymour (20 minutes), Cypress Bowl (30 minutes), and Whistler Mountain (75 minutes). Other popular destinations like Capilano Suspension Bridge (7 minutes), Stanley Park (10 minutes), Park Royal Shopping Mall (8 minutes) and the Horseshoe Bay Ferry Terminal (16 minutes), are only a short drive away. Or take a leisurely walk or convenient bus ride down Lonsdale and enjoy Lonsdale Quay, and the shops, restaurants, waterpark or ice rink (depending on the season) at the Shipyards. At the base of Lonsdale, take the 12 minute Seabus ride across the water to enjoy downtown Vancouver. Be sure to have you camera ready as you take in spectacular views of the city, mountains, and Burrard Inlet while riding this passenger only ferry.

And if need be, Lions Gate Hospital is a 1 minute car ride, or 13 minute walk away.

Great Location in North Van

Our stay was short and sweet! The listing was just as expected. Although, slightly hidden once you know where it is you can’t miss it. Frances was great and welcoming on arrival and the space was stocked to the brim with essentials. We will definitely keep it in mind in the future.

Very Cozy!!

The place was very nice! VRBO commercials are a bit misleading as the hosts were onsite. That being said. We never saw or heard anyone so it was as though they weren't there. When we met the host on arrival she was great! We would recommend the place to anyone without reservation. 5 stars in our book!!

Sweet and peaceful stay in North Van

What a treat to find this lovely spot surrounded by trees and gardens, yet just a walk away from restaurants and stores on Lonsdale. We were able to spend a week with family in North Vancouver without renting a car. Would definitely recommend it.

Wonderful place to stay. Close to everything. Easy to get into the city, and only minutes away from Stanley Park, hiking, suspension bridges and the outdoors. Hosts were welcoming, extremely flexible and the apartment was lovely. Bed was very comfortable, fully supplied kitchen and washer/dryer. Would absolutely stay there again. So glad we stayed in North Vancouver rather in the city center.

Everything about our stay was perfect! The suite was clean, large, bright, private and very well equipped. Frances had a note saying there was some wrapping paper in a cabinet so we were able to wrap a gift to give that day. Very thoughtful hosts who aim to ensure you have a good stay. We will definitely be booking again on our next visit to North Vancouver.

The rooms were spacious, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable, we felt right at home. The location of the property is also a major plus. It's conveniently close to various sights and some of the best dining options in the area, which made exploring and dining out extremely convenient. Overall, this home provided the perfect retreat and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and beautiful place to stay.
