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.

We very much enjoyed our stay! All amenities were exactly as described. Check-in details were clear and easy to follow which was extremely helpful as we arrived late at night due to flight delays. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed to cook for coffee, breakfast and meals during our stay. The paved walkway to the suite was beautiful - like a taste of forest in the city with tall cedars and lush landscaping. Frances and Terence were gracious hosts, very accommodating. They gave us helpful tips for navigating the North Vancouver area, transportation and activities. We enjoyed the central location for all activities we were interested in - Deep Cove, Shipyards, Lynn Canyon, and Stanley Park via Seabus using both rental car and city transport as needed.

Frances is a great host and cares very much about your stay. You can see that when you step into the rental suite.Communication was quick, getting in was a breeze, the suite was as described and it was extremely clean. The bed was very hard for our old bones and our car ended up with tree sap from parking where we did on the street. Small minor experiences that probably wouldn’t keep us from staying again but did take away from being perfect. The location was excellent for us to easily get where we wanted and the suite had everything we would possibly need. Frances and Terrance are wonderful hosts and we would definitely look to stay again if in the area.

Beautiful garden suite

This was a gorgeous property for my stay in North Van. Lonsdale Ave. was only a ten-minute walk away, and the neighborhood felt safe and secluded. The listing itself is a basement suite beneath the main house; it was clean, quiet, and private, with plenty of amenities and functioning appliances, and Frances was very cordial. I took my breakfast in the garden every morning - it really did feel like a garden oasis! Nothing but praise for this location; I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Their garden is absolutely beautiful to be around and the place itself was quite spacious and clean. There were a lot of nice additions like a coffee machine/pots and pans/teas/spices etc. The area around was super quiet and a great location (easily accessible to tourist attractions). I had a great stay and would highly recommend.

The space was exactly as described—clean, well-maintained, and beautifully decorated, with everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. The location was perfect for exploring the area, with plenty of local attractions nearby, yet it offered the peace and quiet we were hoping for. The hosts were also fantastic—very responsive and attentive to any questions we had, ensuring our stay was seamless. We truly felt at home and could easily see ourselves returning for another stay in the future. Overall, this was a perfect getaway for both of us, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, hassle-free vacation spot. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

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!!

Perfect in every way

This place is perfect. No other way to describe it! Frances has made a cozy, comfortable haven for visitors to Vancouver. The pictures are exactly like the property, and what a beautiful property it is! Green, lush and flowering everywhere you look. Even on a rainy day it is lovely! The apartment is spacious, the furniture is so comfortable, the decor is really special and Frances has thought of every detail her guests might need, from tape and scissors on the desk, to a vegetable peeler and even a picnic cooler with plates, cups and utensils. Frances is so considerate, she even has pillow options in the closet should you not like the ones on the comfy queen bed! This was an ideal spot for us to relax and to use as a jumping off point for our trip to Vancouver. Frances was very responsive, welcoming and gracious! I highly recommend this terrific place and sincerely hope to be back there sometime 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.

A five star experience all around!!!

OMG! The place was not only beautiful, but should be the industry standard for cleanliness and appearance for VRBO’s and hotels. Everything was beyond expectation, secluded away in a restorative tree surrounded environment. It is only walking distance from the North Vancouver area (although it is at the top of a very tall hill — which is absolutely a part of the charm!). Make sure to watch the sunset from the quaint patio area and if you are lucky, the moonset. It is a story book environment if you wish to restore your soul, or are inspired to do some contemplative work. The homeowners are very respectful of space and hospitality. Make sure to bring them a gift, because the place you’re staying is their gift to you.
