West Coast of the United States : locations de vacances sur l'eau

If only the fishing had been a little better we could have spent more time at the cabin. Overall it was an awesome place to spend time, cook, talk and hangout with my Dad, Brother and Son for a week. Hope to do it again next year!

Stephan's aurora lodge is a unique and amazing place. It's away from town on a lake in the forest, completely private, and utterly silent at night. And yes, we did in fact see the aurora starting from the bedroom window! Stephan is a fabulous host. We were very concerned about the cold for our aurora viewing in March, but he answered a million questions before the trip, and also hooked us up with a great winter clothing rental for our outside viewing. He even went above and beyond to pick up and drop off our gear when there was a mixup with the rental place delivery, even though we didn't opt for the VIP package. When we had trouble finding the place (we're unused to snow, we couldn't tell we were looking right at the road, duh), he came into town to rescue us and lead us out there. He's also a font of local knowledge and history, and a really fun guy to talk to. The best decision we ever made was ditching the package tours and waiting for the aurora in Stephan's cozy living room.

Perfect view! Easily accessible to downtown, Grouse mountain, and walkable to restaurants in the area.

We loved our staycation at this amazing float home! I was initially hesitant to book based on a previous review from Claire, however I am sooo glad I took a chance! Everything worked well for our stay and we were impressed with how new all the amenities were. The shower and all plumbing worked perfectly fine. A neighbor informed me all these float homes are on city water and city sewer which is incredible! Suffice it to say-the water was crisp, clear and oh so magical! We swam every day right off the dock and the water was perfect! We could see the fish in the water when we were fishing off the dock. The heat pumps were new Mitsubishis and kept the temperature at what we wanted. The showers worked great and having a bathroom for each bedroom was a real plus! A paddle board and kayak were provided and we loved cruising around the marina. Dont let one review dissuade you- this place is one of the best we have ever stayed at and we will be coming back again! So relaxing. Truly Perfect! A+

This is not your average air bnb by any stretch of the imagination. And it certainly would not suit everyone's taste. But it's my all time favorite. Nothing fancy-- quite rustic-- somewhat remote--and it exceeded all expectations. Much has been written about Jim as host and it is all true. He's incredible -- born and raised in Sitka. A true outdoorsman and larger than life in some respects. He was a one stop shop: met us at the airport, helped us shop for groceries (if you forget something you will live without it for awhile), rented us an excellent skiff which allowed us to be mobile for fishing and peace of mind, and even was our fishing guide for a day. Bottom line those 4 days will be some of the most memorable of my life.

This is a one-of-a-kind accommodation. It is private, cozy, and the best of all—you can view the Aurora from the bedroom window. The location is amazing and allows you to see what it is really like living in the Canadian north. From driving on an ice road to get to the house to being surrounded by nature, this place has it all. Stephen was highly accommodating and welcoming, is knowledgeable about the area, and is quite the entertainer during down times. His VIP service gives you the option to sit back and relax while he prepares meals and takes you on adventures. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

No TV or stove but was okay with microwave and hotplate provided. Everything was very clean and easy to follow directions were provided. I enjoyed sitting outside on the rear deck in early morning and at sunset. Very quiet and peaceful.

This was a fantastic experience. We loved the houseboat- very clean and spacious, well-appointed, incredible views, great location, easy walk to Lonsdale shops. I would recommend to anybody!

We had an amazing and memorable weekend on Deanna's houseboat, filled with lots of time in the water and exploring the lake. Deanna suggested we bring a tent or sleeping pads for our group of 4 guys, and that suggestion worked out perfectly. The houseboat itself was ideal, and we made great use of the paddleboards. While not the fastest boat on the lake (maybe the slowest?), we actually really enjoyed the relaxed pace of our exploring and spent plenty of time stopped to swim. Overall we loved the boat, and would highly recommend booking if you want a unique lake experience.

Noah's place is a gem within in Marin County. Having grown up in the area, I never knew the Greenbrae Boardwalk existing and I am so excited I do now! For three weeks, this was my home away from home and the house is equipped with everything to make you feel like that. Everyone on the boardwalk was super friendly, easy to get in and out of with a parking spot. Ideally located close to the ferry which I took often to the city, but also right off the freeway to drive. Amazing bike/walking paths to get anywhere around Marin by foot or bike. The house itself had a great kitchen and living area. The deck was large and beautiful to work from or relax at the end of the day. The main bedroom overlooks the water and views of Mt. Tam and is so peaceful along with two beautiful bathrooms. Noah was super flexible on my arrival and departure dates as they had shifted and worked with my schedule and very communicative and helpful. Highly recommend and hope to be back soon!

Just loved it, did not want to leave! Will stay again and again! Highly recommend!!!!

This place is great! Awesome location and Doug was a very responsive host!

Stayed here for a girls weekend. It was gorgeous. We saw seals and otters playing from the deck. Beautiful kayaking. Very responsive hosts who could not have been more helpful and friendly. The place was immaculate with nice amenities. Would absolutely recommend this place. Excited to come back.

Spent three nights on Lonni’s houseboat. My son always wanted to fish the delta, and Lonni found a perfect place for the houseboat to be docked. If you’re into fishing, take the kayak out for a spin, you won’t regret it. Lonni was in constant communication, and gave last minutes of what to bring. This is glamping at its finest. Checked in via text to make sure we were ok and if there was anything we need. Lonni is very personable, outgoing, and helpful. Would definitely come back in the future.

We had a great stay! Scenery was amazing and the house was just as described. Awesome location and we had everything we needed in the home. Would definitely stay here again!!!

The place was great . Pearl was right on the ball with getting us everywhere we needed to go. Never really even met Joel

For those of us who enjoy a marine ‘lifestyle’, SeaSuite is the ultimate experience of living on the water and simultaneously having all the comforts of home. She is a beautifully designed little boat with extraordinary attention to interior aesthetic and detail. In addition, everything a guest could desire for a comfortable stay (including kitchen utensils, luxury linens, more than adequate heating, and rooftop seating) is provided - and Mark is a very attentive and responsive host. Added benefits of SeaSuite include the opportunity to observe marina activity and frequent visits from herons, seals, and even eagles!

The per-night charge was great; however, the $180 cleaning charge for two people for two nights was excessive (the cleaning charge was more than the nightly charge combined). I wish they would just advertise the total cost rather than slip in that cleaning charge (and we are extremely neat people who barely use anything). The place was as described. Great location. A little hard to find D dock at first, but Google helped. Very quiet little boat neighborhood. You can walk to a few restaurants, including a greasy spoon (Captain's Wheel) and a newer Italian restaurant (used to be JD's) called Taverna, which was pretty good, if not a tad pricey for the area. There's a waterfront pub-type restaurant and a taqueria within walking as well. The house was very clean, and although quirky (we affectionately called it the Winchester Mystery Boat House), it was eclectically charming, comfortable, and really fun to be on the water. Added bonus - you can bring a boat as there's plenty of dock space.

We would highly recommend staying at Dave’s. The location is exceptional as is Dave’s willingness to ensure we had the best stay possible. He moved the boat so the kids could have the best slide area into the lake and set up the awning on the top deck so we could get some shade. He was so friendly and available for any questions. We will stay again!

Cute little cottage on the water. I do wish it was warmer to so that we could’ve kayaked or paddle boarded around in. The location is great because it’s away from all the people and the city but within a 10-15 minute drive to it all. I would definitely stay here again especially when it starts Warming up outside 👍

We had a great time watching the kids on the paddle boards. We will definitely book again!

The view at high tide was better than the view at low tide - but the view at night from the deck in any tide was really special. It is so quiet and peaceful and with the moon on the water it is a spot to spend a lot of time enjoying. The weather was a little uncooperative for us at the time we were there but good enough for us to know we want to come back and take advantage of it all again. And we saw one of the otters right next to the back deck!

We had a lovely weekend getaway on the Delta in Sara and Ray's houseboat! We loved getting out on the water on their kayak and paddleboard, watching the wildlife from the deck, and seeing the stars at night. We also enjoyed playing ping pong and arcade basketball. Sara and Ray were some of the most hospitable and welcoming hosts we've ever had. We recommend bringing snacks and drinks to enjoy on site. The place has a very strong summer camp vibe, which we found relaxing, but probably isn't your jam if you only stay in luxury resorts. Thank you, Sara and Ray!

Our stay on the float home was a fun experience. Don and Sylvie were very responsive and wanted to make sure we were comfortable throughout our stay. It was an enjoyable experience in a great part of town! We would stay here again! The only note of feedback I would have is that you can feel that you are on the water (it is stated but not many commented on it). At night it calmed down and we did not feel it as much. Just something to think about if you are sensitive to motion.
