Custom built in 2010, the Bowen Island Boutique Beach House is a luxurious 3 bedroom, contemporary designer house set on 1.5 acres of waterfront property with panoramic views of the Salish Sea and Vancouver Island's snow-capped mountains.

The Bowen Island Boutique Beach House is modernism at its best. Designed by renowned Canadian architecture firm, superkül inc, and an internationally recognized landscape architect, it is contemporary and minimalist, a house of glass where outdoor splendor and indoor simplicity combine. It is ideal for those looking to connect with nature without forfeiting everyday comforts. In winter, while overlooking the blue waters, snuggle up in the bedroom or relax in the living room by an ultra-modern, two-sided wood burning fireplace. In summer, soak up the rays at our private beach, secluded from neighboring views. The house has heated stone floors, central air, 14-foot ceilings, and is fully equipped with surround sound audio, 3D television, cable, DVD, Internet and Wi-Fi as well as top of the line appliances. The home sleeps six people comfortably in three queen-size beds. European rain shower heads in the 2 bathrooms and an outdoor hot tub complete the experience.

Nine-foot high lift-and-slide wood doors open the interior to a deck perched high in the Douglas Fir canopy. Floor-to-ceiling windows allow guests to engage with the magnificent physical setting. You'll love falling asleep to the sound of ocean waves. A star-filled horizon is revealed through spectacular glass walls in every room.

- "This place is stunning!! You cannot beat it! Do not hesitate just because this place doesn’t have a lot of reviews, I couldn’t be happier with our stay my only regret is that I didn’t lengthen my stay there and shorten my stay in Vancouver. Hosts were amazing to deal with, super quick to respond with my couple of worries to do with what’s below. Just as a note anyone (like I was) whom may be a bit panicked as I know I was (being scammed b4) because VRBO has a different process than other rental platforms for confirmation purposes. And if VRBO reads these comments, not getting any confirmation of stay, and not getting any info on stay until day of is a bit worrisome for the consumer. So don’t fret all is good future renters..this place will knock your socks off! Thank you, we will be back ❤️❤️"

- "We had the most peaceful stay we have had anywhere. Sitting in a hot tub with that view is a fantastic experience. Hosts are good at communicating and are proactive and thoughtful. Just the right amount of everything." - "This was just a beautiful property. The rooms were all new and updated with a beautiful bath. The check in/out process was easy and worry free. The island itself was so cute with tons of little shops, stores and restaurants. It was so relaxing to sit in the hot tube with the most amazing view as well as the sauna. If we could change one thing it would be that the room next to us ( St. Marks suite) was unoccupied the entire time we were there and definitely had the better views where you could see the ocean while laying in bed which we could not. When we first arrived we thought surely someone else will stay there but no-one ever came and since it was open we wish we could have stayed there. Nonetheless we had a fantastic time there and would go back in a heart beat."

- "The suite itself was clean, beautiful and easy to find. The location was gorgeous and in the perfect area for us. I would absolutely stay again!" - "Our stay was fantastic! The property is stunning and we loved the view! The suite was immaculate and well appointed. The bed was uber comfy. Highly highly recommend. Thank you vey much Melissa and Domenic" - "“Why leave”? That is what we kept telling ourselves. The proximity to the terminal and two 8 minute walks in each direction to key beaches and viewpoints makes this a perfect spot. If you like wellness retreats, you can do a self-guided one here with places to do yoga with breathtaking views and hot tub/sauna. You can easily do a cold plunge as well with the wonderful 100 step staircase the crafty owners built down to the water. So much potential and such flexible and open-minded owners. This is the new hidden gem of the island for professionals, teams, and couples who need an accessible retreat not far from the city."

Tucked into the forest canopy on Bowen Island, the Wildwood Cabins are authentic, hand crafted post and beam cabins built from local and reclaimed timber. Each cabin is clad in natural and charred cedar and has blended into the sword ferns, cedar, hemlock and fir trees that surround it. A Jotul woodstove, flannel sheets, vintage books and board games, cast iron cookware and a Nordic wood-fired barrel sauna are your tools for connecting with the simplicity of life in the woods.

- "Highly recommend for folks looking for a getaway close to Vancouver anytime of year. Wonderfully authentic log cabins set in an incomparably lovely and tranquil spot. Hosts are amazing and cabins are fully stocked with some lux touches (e.g. bedding, towels) Coastal and woodsy trails are close by as are a few great restaurants. Outdoor sauna, fire pit and yoga studio are also onsite!" - "The cosy cabin nestled in the woods was the perfect location to escape for a few days. Host couldn't have been more welcoming or helpful. Fresh eggs (and chickens!) were a lovely bonus. "

Relax and unwind in this stylish modern space. Soak in the views and sunsets on the west side of Bowen island. Massive deck with high end patio furniture bbq heat lamp and incredible panoramic oceanviews . Indoor outdoor living modern bathroom and furnishings . Gourmet kitchen and wood stove . Walk to best beach on the island . Very peaceful nature and birds and very safe neighbourhood .

- "This very comfortable home has sweeping views of the ocean and mountains beyond. Easy access, well-appointed and clean. We would stay here agin for sure. Helen was very helpful before and during our stay. Well done!" - "I fell in love with this property, the view is phenomenal!! House was clean, beds were comfortable, almost everything you would need the house had available. Because of this house, we had the most amazing vacation at Vancouver. Also, Helen, host, was very communicative, there was no hot water on Saturday morning, but Helen made it happen and we were taken care of same day. I would just recommend you do your homework, especially with the ferry schedules as if you plan to visit other places, you need to go back to Vancouver and off again to another island, which means another ferry (no direct ferry to anywhere else other than back to horseshoe bay(Vancouver). This is a BEAUTIFUL place, look no further!"

580 sf coach house is clean and comfortable with one bedroom, full bathroom (separate shower and an oversized tub), kitchenette with open dining and living room space.

- "Quiet, comfortable and Very nice amenities" - "Very homey and comfortable." - "Beautiful and perfect for a weekend get away" - "Good for a single person plus small dog:) Property manager made everything easy." - "My chi& I arrived to visit friends who live nearby on Bowen. Upon arrival I found a handwritten book with all information necessary for Bowen Island (BI)! I saw bumper stickers with “BI” assuming lots of bisexuals lived on the Island!! The suite is one big room with a queen size comfortable bed & I slept very well. The kitchen runs along one side of the room and Helen had thoughtfully left a small basket of snacks plus all the basics needed in a kitchen. A big glass bottle of cold water in the fridge!! For it! The bathroom is beautifully done with stone walls. Good water pressure & temperature in the shower. There’s a large TV opposite the bed and beneath is the small table (where the book was found) with two chairs. Theres wireless access (which worked great for me). Opposite the kitchen a large window looks out onto a beautiful garden with flowers, trees and a sitting area - although this area is not available to guests. This is where I drop a star. It would have been great to have somewhere to sit outside. The guest parking is not very accessible, I walk with a cane and found it didn’t matter if I drove in or backed in the beautiful trees were difficult to manoeuvre around. I think able bodied people would even struggle around them. Opening doors its necessary to duck while walking & trying to carry or access my van and not damage the trees. There’s also a rock drive/walk way and a few stairs. However, I’d recommend Helena’s for 1 or 2 plus a small dog. 💚"

RAVEN’S ROCK – Private Home
We’d like to welcome you to this magical place, perched high on a rock overlooking the cove, the ocean and the Lion’s peaks of the mountain range across the ocean to the north-east. The house was built over bedrock with split levels that meld with the landscape and integrate with the forest, the valley and the terrain. The living areas are spacious, yet cozy, nestled privately amongst mature trees. A large wrap-around deck provides outdoor living areas, offering peeks of the distant ocean and mountains, and allowing you to commune with wandering deer, woodpeckers, wrens, crows and, of course, ravens.

The house is an easy 5 min. drive from the ferry terminal in Snug Cove. It is possible to walk up from the cove but a bit challenging for most. A bus can bring you ¾ of the way up the main road. Most prefer to have a car to get around the island and enjoy the beautiful scenery, beaches, trails and shops and restaurants. Beautiful hiking trails are directly accessible into the Singing Woods valley, down
to the Cove or up to the Valhalla Heights with spectacular views to the south and east, or to make your way down to Artisan Square shops and restaurants, and to hitch a ride back up the hill.
The house offers plenty of scope for relaxation, cooking, reading and immersing yourself in nature. 2 private bedrooms and a loft provide accommodation for up to 6. There are books, games, and entertainments systems available for your use.

Bowen island is a true west coast experience, while being easily accessed from Vancouver. It is ideal for outdoor enthusiast or anyone who would enjoy relaxing in a private, natural environment. Activities on the island include hiking, biking, kayaking, swimming and the summer months include a number of festivals, art shows and community events. The immediate area has been likened to the
enchanted forests in Tolkien’s novels, and you may find yourself immersed in the Singing Woods, landing at Eowyn Lane and wandering up to the Rivendell retreat and 360 degree view to the surrounding mountains and ocean.
Please be advised, starting in 2021, it will be illegal to use wood-burning fireplaces and stoves between May 15 and September 15. Violators could be fined $10,000 for each day in contravention.

Please do not move any furniture and please no shoes inside the house.

- "Only issue I had was the stove was confusing- took getting used to- couldn’t find a manual" - "Beautiful property in an amazing location! Exceeded our expectations -- 5 stars!" - "Beautiful cottage feel with comfortable modern amenities! The view from every room is breath taking, it feels like you’re up in a tree house. Our kids loved it too, and the host was very easy to communicate with- professional and friendly! Would definitely recommend and would book again! "
