Just a few minutes walk to city nightlife, trendy restaurants, the Q market and its surrounding stores, beautiful boats, and the art gallery. Stroll along the sea wall on the spirit trail right out your front door. Take a sea bus across to downtown with access to hundreds of restaurants. A very unique private home in the middle of it all!

The Neighborhood:

The house is located in the Mosquito Creek Marina (don't worry, no mosquitos!) and a 5 minute walk from the Lonsdale Quay - an active market with restaurants, shops, the bus terminal and the sea bus to downtown.



There are many restaurants on Lonsdale as well and the closest grocery store is IGA on Esplanade across from the Quay market.



Waterfront park is a 2 minute walk and is dog-friendly. Spirit trail is right out your front door and is a 6.5km walk along the sea wall with tourist friendly information and sensational views that extend all the way to West Vancouver.



We are close to grouse mountain and cypress ski resorts, Capilano suspension bridge, and many other outdoor activities the north shore has to offer. Across the Lions Gate bridge is the world famous Stanley Park. About 1.5 hour drive to whistler directly on beautiful sea to sky highway.



Nearby shopping malls are Park Royal in west Vancouver and Pacific Center mall in downtown.



You don’t really need a car. Bus and sea bus are close by and super convenient. Sea bus terminal in downtown is connected to sky train which goes directly to the airport.

Nearby is the bus terminal (located at the Lonsdale Quay, a 5-minute walk) which can take you anywhere in North/West Vancouver and Downtown. Hop on the SeaBus for the fastest route to Downtown which runs every 15 minutes - it takes 12 minutes to cross the channel and avoids all bridge traffic.
