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.

Ideal Vancouver getaway

My wife and I were visiting Vancouver for a few days and didn't want to stay at a downtown highrise hotel. This rental was perfect for us. Located in North Vancouver, it is an easy drive to numerous hiking trails and outdoor activities yet with easy access to downtown Vancouver via public transit (a short walk to a bus, to the Seabus service to Vancouver) or by car. The unit itself is very well equipped with everything you need if you choose to prepare your own meals. And it is clean, quiet and private. Frances and Terence are very gracious hosts and are readily available to answer any questions. We highly recommend this property and would stay here again.

Home away from home

Everything about this property exceeded expectations. Frances and Terence were wonderful; welcoming, kind, and very willing to share their local knowledge. The grounds were beautiful, the pictures do not convey just how lovely the gardens on their property are. The accommodation itself suited our needs to a tee. The furnishings were new and well maintained, the bed very comfortable, and the little extras (umbrellas, extra beach towels etc.) were a pleasant surprise. Restaurants, bakeries, Starbucks etc. were a 10 minute walk and the bus stop providing easy access to the SeaBus and downtown Vancouver, was a short walk away. A wonderful stay!!!! Thanks Frances an Terence.

Quaint and lovely

We stayed at this one bedroom unit for a night. It’s close to public transport which we used the bus from Lonsdale quay to home as well as to Lynn canyon. The hosts were so kind to help us with our luggage as we arrived close to midnight from the airport. The unit itself was clean, nicely laid out and comfortably furnished. You can tell that the hosts really care for the comfort of their guests. They were also really helpful with information on tourist activities. I would highly recommend staying here.

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.

Visiting Vancouver

We liked the property as it was like staying in a cozy garden apartment. The garden and the neighborhood is beautiful, quiet and enjoyable with lots of flowers and trees. There was easy access to downtown, shopping, the TransCanada Highway, and many attractions. The apartment was comfortable and well stocked with everything. There is free parking which is hard to find in Vancouver. The host was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay and were glad we chose this location as opposed to the crowded and bustling downtown.

Exceptional location to rejuvenate, to stay active and to enjoy the gorgeous neighbourhood

This gorgeous 1 bedroom fully equipped apartment is situated in the middle of a garden oasis, carefully manicured by the owners. I loved the contemporary sun drenched decor with the subtle greys and white. The kitchen, bathroom and bedroom were well appointed with more than enough essentials. I loved to be able to wash my work out wear in the large washer dryer. Frances’ attention to detail to ensure her guests feel overly comfortable and welcomed was clear from the moment I arrived. As a female alone - I felt so very safe and I highly recommend this beautiful oasis. Be sure to enjoy the seating areas outside to enjoy a glass of wine or a cup of tea. The sunset view is lovely. A wonderful stay! Thank you my friends. I’ll be back.
