About this property

Cozy suite minutes from the ocean on Bowen Island

This private two-bedroom suite in Deep Bay is a short walk from the ferry terminal on Bowen Island. Light pours into the garden-level dwelling from big windows overlooking your private covered patio with comfy lounge chairs.

Inside is a simple and clean kitchen with a glass range and large fridge and freezer. A BBQ is available for guest use, if you want to venture outside of the kitchen. We have most of the kitchen items you need to cook a meal, but for guest safety we are currently not providing any pantry basics. We do provide tea and coffee for the first night of your stay (Keurig and individually packaged tea bags). There is a French Press for those who prefer to bring your own favourite roast with you.

A table for four sits in the open layout living/kitchen space, which also has a comfy couch and two chairs. There's a smart TV in the living space where you can sign on to Netflix, Prime etc.

The bedrooms are comfortable and quiet, and keep cool during hot summer months. The bathroom is sleek and has a nice deep bathtub - ready for you to have a relaxing soak, or if you prefer a shower there are dual shower heads.

You will be minutes away from many great things to do on Bowen Island - no car required. Pebbly Beach is a rocky beach located on the north side of Mannion Bay on Bowen Island and is a semi-secluded spot for swimming - you can walk there in around 3-5 minutes. Snug Cove (where the ferry comes in) is a very pleasant 10 to 15 minute jaunt away – restaurants, shops etc. Killarney Lake, a great picnic spot with lots of trails, is also walking distance.

For those of you not familiar with the area, West Vancouver and Vancouver downtown is only a short ferry ride away and it is a pretty little trip. Day-trips to the mainland, even all via public transportation are possible- just watch the ferry schedule for the last one home- it is usually around 10pm. Ferry delays are frequent unfortunately.

Speedy wifi and a serene environment makes this a great option for anyone who works remotely, but wants a break from the city and a chance to see the stars.

This suite is set up for adults, not for children and we are officially no pets.
Please feel free to message us with any questions about when we may be able to make exceptions with additional precautions and fees. This is a property with strictly no parties or loud late nights - quiet time is from 11 pm to 7 am. No unregistered guests or hosting is allowed. We look forward to seeing you!

Spectacular accommodation!

This immaculate and tastefully designed suite offered our group (four adult women) the perfect space to come home to after our adventures on Bowen. Ideally situated a short walk from the cove, I don't know that we could've asked for anything more suitable. The kitchen was beyond well stocked; Lynn's offerings included a bottle of wine, a variety of milk and creamers for our indulgent morning breakfasts, and a few toppings for our toast. I would not hesitate to send guests of any age to this lovely rental.

Wonderful accommodation

We had a fantastic stay in this lovely and well cared for 2 bedroom suite. Ground level meant it was cool for sleeping in the July heat which was a huge relief. Well appointed with everything we needed and more! We enjoyed quick access to the beach and Snug Cove. We will book again!

Perfectly located Bowen Island getaway

A beautiful, clean, quiet space, conveniently located about 10 minutes walking distance from the Snug Cove ferry terminal and local shops and amenities. Suite access was quick and easy, and our host even left us some wine and snacks for our stay! My only regret is that we couldn't stay here longer. Thanks for the lovely stay!

Really nice property. Roomier than I expected from the photos. Very clean and tidy. Looked brand new. Kitchen has most all the necessities. Wonderful basket of provisions, waiting out the door when we got there. If I’m lucky enough to be back to Bowen Island, I would definitely look to stay here again.

Everything about this place is fantastic! The house is in a quiet neighbourhood and there is plenty of space. The beds and pillows are quite comfortable. The bathtub is huge and they have provided good quality shampoo, conditioner and body wash. The owners have put a lot of thought and care into stocking the unit with everything you might need. We really appreciated the welcome basket and the milk & cream in the fridge for our morning coffee. There are loads of games, books and magazines and a quiet sitting area outside the front of the house. I can’t think of a single thing this place is missing. Highly recommend and will definitely book again next time I come to Bowen Island!

Really enjoyed our stay. Cozy suite had all the amenities that we needed - living room, kitchen, bathroom and 2 bedrooms. Super clean and well organized with helpful notes instructions. And nicely decorated. Host was very helpful with our enquiries. One of the nicest VRBO units we have stayed in. Super convenient. About 5 minute to town for beach-shoreline, marina (ferry, kayaking) restaurants, groceries etc. Also walkable to network of trails including Killarney Lake. Cozy suite tops the list of nicest places to stay on Bowan Island. Thank you Maria (Host)

Beautiful yard, bright and large very clean suite in a very quiet and convenient location. A short walk to snug cove with beautiful trails near by. We appreciated the welcome basket of chips, wine and chocolates.Overall this is a beautiful place to stay and I would recommend it.However based on my personal needs for this trip I have some comments to share that I hope will be useful for other travellers The two bedrooms are not soundproofed at all so if privacy is a concern you will be able to hear everything from one room to anotherAlso the bedding and towels are all washed using detergent with quite a strong scent and all the soaps and toiletries provided also had a very strong scrub.This triggered my allergies. This is probably not a problem for most people since those kinds of products are very popular but for people like me it’s difficult to avoid

Why they chose this property

Perfect place for working remotely, or a weekend get-away that is a short ferry ride from the mainlaind- but a completely different experience than being in Vancouver.

What makes this property unique

City dwellers can see the stars here, but you are only 20 minutes from Vancouver's North Shore. This suite is also used by the owners for working remotely, so it is set-up with this in mind. This is a perfect spot for a quiet get-away, and is set up for adults. Strictly for guest use only, no unregistered guests allowed, no hosting/parties/late night noise.
