This is a beautiful property, close to the beach but not exactly waterfront. It was very clean and well supplied. We really enjoyed our stay here.

We were needing a quiet, 3-bedroom accommodation with a kitchen and close to a beach in the area and this one was perfect! It was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed. We loved that there were so many windows with plenty of light streaming in and a view of the water. Kristina was a lovely host too!

This was an amazing place and fully stocked with EVERYTHING.We only gave it a 4 star on one part of the review because the lock box did not work. No matter, the door was open and we left it that way for the trip. Granddaughter saw a key on the wall on our last day LOL.The area seems very safe.The place was very clean.Really,I thought the price was a bit high when we booked…but not when we arrived….beautiful place!

Oh my word what a place!!! We were over the moon with this property. The communication between owner and the manager was excellent. Beds were very comfortable, kitchen/living room was spacious and had a great flow but the bonus toy room upstairs was the highlight of the house (we were travelling with a 4 yr old and a 6 yr old.) The gated yard was beautiful and lots of parking. I would come to this home again.

Quiet Family Getaway

Our whole family loved our 4-night stay at this property. The proximity to the beach was so convenient with three kids, and the fireplace to warm up after coming in was well-stocked and cozy. It was nice getting away from the city and listening to the ocean waves as we went to sleep.

Hi Stephen, We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay at Bowser Beach House and we hope we can welcome you there again in the future. We will look into the possibility of having a solar powered light at the top of the driveway. Many thanks, Kristina

Stayed the month of July. The tide pools during low tide in front of the rental were some of the best. My grand daughters loved them. I was personally thrilled with the Monarch butterflies, hummingbirds, bald eagles, herons, seals, hawks and deer. I loved the quiet and at times the surf was strong enough for surfing. The house was clean and well equipped. The upstairs master suite with an attached playroom was perfect for my son’s family and visiting guests to have their own space. We cooked at home mostly and it was an easy 5 min walk to the store. I enjoyed reading on the front porch and listening to the sound of the surf. We watched VHS tapes from the past and it was fun for the family. Great location for day trips like Goats on the roof, Cuckoos restaurant, Rathtrevor Beach and Paradise Fun Park. I definitely want to come back! It was a perfect retreat.
