Guest access
You have access to all parts of the house.
Other things to note:

Marina living is a very unique experience. The float homes are nestled close to each other and because of that excessive noise, loud parties or large gatherings are not an option.
As well, E-TEN is a float home, so it sits on a body of water, which means there is some ongoing movement to the house, sometimes a bit more during big weather events or king tides. Something to keep in mind if you are prone to motion sickness.
Please note that due to insurance requirements the booking party has to be over the age of 25.

Beautiful house on the water

Absolutely immaculate and well appointed houseboat in a wonderful location close to the ferry and lonsdale restaurants. Great views from the rooftop deck! Felt very safe in the marina and appreciated the easy parking so we could easily move around the greater Vancouver area. Wonderful host. Five star visit!
