About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Welcome to the Cozy Cottage on the Shore, a relaxed place to enjoy nature.

The Cozy Cottage is a wonderful place to stay in North Vancouver. We are centrally located close to beautiful downtown Vancouver (10 minute car ride or a 15 minute walk to the bus stop and a 15 minute bus ride) and a stones throw away from West Vancouver's stunning Ambleside beach and a beautiful walk along the water to Lonsdale Quay.

Our suite includes your own bedroom, bathroom and den (with TV, desk, couch and bar fridge) but you would share the kitchen with my wife and myself. Please enjoy our amazing therapeutic hot tub. We also offer rental of snow shoes and snowboard. If you are looking to rent a bike, Lime Bike (run by Uber) is in our neighborhood. This suite is truly a gem for any traveler.

Short Getaway
The accomodation was very nice. We made good use of the nearby walking trails and public transportation. Lonsdale Quay, Capilano Swinging Bridge and BC Place were all easy to reach. The hosts were generous with the shared common areas.

Cottage in the city
I came in late and Josh waited up to make sure I made it and showed me around so I could find everything. Such a wonderful couple. So attentive knowing that I was there for medical appointments they checked in on me and we had amazing conversations during my stay. Absolutely loved sitting on their back patio in the morning just listening to the birds. So relaxing

Alison and Josh made us feel like home during our 3 day stay at their cozy cottage on the shore. Everything was super clean, organized and easily accessible. They provided us with very useful information about the best places to visit in Vancouver. We also enjoyed very much their hot tub and the coffees we made from their coffee machine. The cottage is located in a quite neighbourhood with easy access to Vancouver downtown, and the bed and pillows were perfect for sleeping comfortably. We highly recommend this cottage for your stay in Vancouver.

Ali and Josh are the best host anyone can ask for. They are super friendly and we’re constantly making sure we were good. Everything was clean. They provided all the basic necessities. Their dog Timber is such a beautiful and well behaved. We feel in love with him. There is a Walmart about 10-15 walking distance and a few restaurants as well. Beautiful neighborhood and clean. You can walk to downtown North Vancouver in 40 minutes. Highly recommend because it’s a beautiful path or you can bike. You can also bike or walk to Capilano Suspension Bridge.

We had an amazing short stay with Josh and Alison. They were welcoming and made us feel at home and at ease. The house was amazing and even better was the views from the hot tub. We made some friends both human and animal in Josh, Allison, Timber the Rottweiller and a few squirrels. We will be back next year for sure!

5 Star Hotel
Fluffy white towels, white cotton robes and slippers, beach towels for an amazing, therapeutic hot tub/spa, a basket of amenities with lotions, a sewing kit, mouthwash, ect. A wonderful hot shower with aromatherapy bath wash, shampoo and cream rinse. An amazing coffee machine in the main kitchen that brews fantastic coffee to order. Then throw in some kind, hospitable, friendly, and helpful hosts and we think that definitely adds up to 5+ stars!! It’s a perfect location just over the Lions bridge so you’re very close to downtown Vancouver but away from the crowds. A beautiful bike/walk path right across from the house so no neighbors to the front so extra quiet and private. Josh and Alison are the perfect hosts, relaxed and open but respectful of privacy. Josh built a beautiful fire in the living room every evening and he and Alison made us feel welcome to enjoy the warmth and ambiance. Their house is perfect to hop over the bridge to Vancouver and Stanley Park or head up scenic Highway 99 all the way to Whistler. We had a fantastic stay and would love to stay with them again.

Cozy guest bedroom in shared house
My friend and I stayed here during a trip to Vancouver. The hosts were very responsive, friendly and welcoming, letting us do laundry and make full use of the shared spaces of the house. The private bathroom, bedroom, and living room area were very clean and comfy; it felt like staying in the guest bedroom of family or friends. Only thing to note is the bed is a double bed, which they reminded us of right after booking. And they have a large, gentle dog, who we rarely saw. Overall we had a wonderful experience and would definitely stay there again!
