Gary was a great host. This was my first airbnb and thanks to his hospitality, I will be using this service more often. He was very welcoming and accommodating to our needs. Great location, stunning view and an amazing experience.

Great place with awesome views,

What a great stay ! Everything was perfect, Gary is welcoming, nice and gave us lots of very good advices ! We warmly recommend this adress ! Thanks again Gary !

We had a great time in Garys apartment. Everything was clean, the kitchen well equipped and Gary was very nice and offered us all help possible. And the view... the view was breathtaking!! Thank you very much for the nice time :-)

I can honestly recommend Gary's place to everyone. Lovely hosts, who did so much more than the ordinary hosts. Warm and friendly, and seriously good at guiding us in our adventures. It's not a bedroom that you get, it's an emmaculate apartment. Look no further. PS. Lucky, their dog, is just delightful.

Had a sweet time at Gary's apartment. Loved the view. Would definitely return

The view is just amazing & we enjoy our short but sweet safe haven for the weekend.

The place was awesome. Amazing view to wake up to and beautiful view of the sunset. Gary was a great, it snowed really heavy the day before and he came early and shovelled the walkway and a spot for me to park. I cant wait to stay here again.

A very clean and beautiful place! The view was spectacular. Our hosts were very friendly and kind, and the breakfast was delicious!

Bernd has a lovely home. The pictures don't do it justice. The house is huge and overlooks the ocean. The upstairs was very clean, spacious, and beautiful. I wish I stayed more than one night!

Bernd was extremely warm and welcoming. He makes you feel at home in this beautiful location.

Bernd has a lovely home with a very nice view of the sea. He was communicative and helpful. We enjoyed knowing a bit about him, his family and his dreams and projects. His place was immaculately clean and organized, and everything was as described. We would be happy to stay with Bernd again in the future!

We spent a really comfortable night at this place. Everything was clean and nice prepared for us as we arrived. The house and the view on the sea is fantastic and the german hosts are helpful and friendly.

It was one of the loveliest airbnb's I've been so far. The house was amazing with a wonderful view. The hosts were really welcoming and super friendly. I'd definitely recommend staying in this beautiful BnB.

This wonderful couple made my first Airbnb experience a great one! Their home is lovely and the location couldn't be better. You can take the ferry to Vancouver Island or head north into Whistler. The views really are unforgettable. I can't thank them enough for welcoming me into their home and giving me a few pointers on where to go! I would definitely stay here again!

Our hosts were very engaging, gracious and gave us plenty of space to our own thing. The location and house are amazing. Our view overlooked sunset on the beautiful sound. Also, the simple breakfast items were delicious and just what we wanted. Thank you!!

This is an amazing place for a great price. The rooms are very comfortable and the surrounding is breathtaking. Jan is a great host and very helpful. The kitchens are functional and the hot tube has the same wonderful view as the room. We were more than pleased with our stay!!

This place is beautiful. Off the beaten track which we loved. So peaceful. Our own little Haven. The kids play area with swings and a slide was an great added bonus. A quick walk to the labyrinth and ancient tree which was a nice way to pass the time. A quick walk down a long set of stairs and your right at the lake. Beds were huge and very comfy. Furnishings and decor were lovely. You couldn't have asked for more from the kitchen. Very impressed that each room was kitted out and had coffee machines. The accommodation is down a dirt road which was no problem for our small Mazda and even the scooters that you can rent on the island. There is no common seating area between the two rooms. This wasn't a problem for us as the sun was shining and we sat outside for the entire stay. This is clear in the description, just a reminder as this may be a deciding factor for those travelling with friends. However, the rooms were very large and had seating and a dining table inside. Jan is a great guy and very helpful and accommodating. We checked out late and it was no problem at all. I highly recommend this place. We will be back for sure.

This is a wonderful spot , to get away from the city life and enjoy nature, whilst luxuriating in the beautiful rooms and special space!

Very secluded and luxurious! Jan was a very great communicator.

We had a great time at Jan and Gillian's place. Scenic, quiet and comfortable, it's the perfect spot for a weekend getaway. Would definitely recommend.

The stay at hideaway bnb is a perfect getaway out of the city. Aside from the immaculate view, there is so much opportunity to get in touch with nature. Trails around the lake and a decent walk to the cove while being secluded and quiet give you the best of both worlds. Jan is very personable, accommodating, and prompt with communication. The rooms are in great condition and has the necessary amenities to offer for a stay. Thanks for your hospitality, would love to.. come back.

We loved each moment of our stay here in this magical location. The room was beautiful, jacuzzi tub was sublime, views were stunning, as was the walk around the lake and through the nearby trails. Jan and Gillian were incredibly kind and gracious hosts and do a lot to keep this place feeling clear and beautiful.

We came from Vancouver and this place was such a nice escape into nature. It was secluded and peaceful but not too far of a drive into town. The room was gorgeous and Jan was helpful over the phone when we got a little turned around finding the place. Thanks Jan!

A beautiful home with everything you could possibly need for a long or short break.

Lucia made our stay very special by giving us so e nice flowers in a vase to enjoy during our stay. She also picked up a newspaper for us and made the yummiest frittata ive ever had!

Lucia went above and beyond to accommodate us. Everything was ready for our late arrival, clean and well lit. She was generous and thoughtful, and we had a wonderful time at her place. Your stay will be something to remember, especially the view from the window. We will be back!

It was a great place to spend time with the family. 10 minutes to town but far enough out to get the quiet island vibe. Ample space. I loved waking up to sunrise through the panorama window off the main room.

Lucia's apartment is nicely renovated and is located in a quiet area with picturesque ocean view. It's a perfect place for runaway out of busy working lifestyle. We really enjoyed a breakfast outside in sunny quiet garden.

Lucia place was a perfect spot on bowen close to the village yet quite, nice view looking out to the water, bit of forest too so you have it all! The bunnies at the front of the house were a hit for my 5 years old! The actual suite is very nicely decorated; just the right size 2 bedrooms, a little kitchen, living room, very comfy beds and a sauna!! Lucia even though was travelling, was available and quick to answer any questions or concerns we had. This is definetly going to be our go to place on the island!!

We had wonderful getaway at Lucia and Scott's place. Very peaceful and quiet. The place has lots of light and looks out on the water and mountains. We really enjoyed the sauna. We had lots of privacy but Lucia was very responsive to our questions by text. We would definitely consider booking the place again!

We had a fantastic experience at the Joy Tide Inn B&B. The place was spotless and welcoming, and the scenery was very tranquil. Lucia was a friendly and outstanding hostess, making breakfast for us in the morning. Beach access was convenient, though a slightly longer walk than we had anticipated.

Rodger and Joan were amazing hosts. They went above and beyond and I am looking forward to staying again!

Joan and Rodger were spectacular hosts. Extremely communicative, warm, welcoming, and accommodating to our needs. The place is lovely, cozy, has spectacular views and they've packed it with all kinds of little amenities that really make it feel five star. My only hesitation about leaving such a good review is that it might be hard to book this gem of a place in the future!

Rodger and Joan were wonderful hosts! So friendly and even willing to drive us into town a few times as my friend and I were on foot. The room, view and private beach were all excellent. A beautiful, calm stay. Can't wait to come back.

It's a quite and beautiful place to stay on Bowen Island. The hosts are nice and friendly.

Wow! what a place to stay. I should first mention about Rodger and Joan, they are absolutely great hosts. Very friendly and caring. And the place is excellent as well, specially the view from the room and patio. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to have a relaxing time with a gorgeous view.

Beautiful view and very accommodating owners. They definitely think about the little details when hosting guests, we felt very appreciated and looked after.

I can't wait to stay in The Tangled Garden again! Rodger & Joan's home is beautiful, and their namesake "garden" is truly impressive. The suite is lovely - clean, very comfy bed, fireplace, stunning morning views of the woods and water. Well-located, also - less than 10 minutes drive from the ferry terminal. They prepared tasty, homemade treats and juice for breakfast, and there's a well-equipped kitchenette if you wanted to prepare your own meal. Because of an unexpected issue with the path to the beach on their property, they issued us a partial refund - absolutely unexpected but so gracious. Rodger & Joan were such kind, welcoming hosts. I really do expect their rental to become one of the most popular on Bowen Island! Highly recommended! -Scott

Suite was perfect and as described, hosts were lovely and extremely helpful.

Adeles Airbnb is amazing! The location is great - a short walk from the ferry and smug cove but tucked away so its quiet and private. The suite has recently been updated and is super cute and clean. Adele is a great host and was welcoming and informative. She made us the most delicious breakfasts and really goes the extra mile to ensure you have the best stay on Bowen island possible. Can't recommend highly enough!!!

Adele's place was one of the best Airbnb rentals we've ever stayed at, and one of the best B&Bs as well. The rental is 5 minutes away from Snug Cove, but far enough that you won't be bothered by the traffic on the main road. The suite was set up to hotel standards: very clean and organized, the bathroom was well stocked, and the bed was extremely comfortable. What made our stay memorable was the breakfasts which Adele lovingly served us each morning. She is a gifted cook. Her pancakes with apple slices were filling and not too sweet, and her eggs benedict were cooked to perfection. Of course, we ate our meals while enjoying the wonderful views on her patio and porch. And it goes without saying that Adele was the perfect host. We spoke on the phone a week prior to our stay, and she asked us in advance what we would like to eat. Her instructions were given to us days before we arrived, and she gave us a few suggestions on things to do/see on the island. No matter how long you plan on staying, rest assured that this is the right spot.

This place was better than advertised. So comfortable! The hot tub was amazing and there was a waterfall in the backyard. And the hosts went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. I definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.

This comfy, cozy, and very quiet little hideaway suited our needs nicely. Kobie and Ethlee went above and beyond make us feel welcome. We didn't get to partake of the hot tub but will next time for sure, to take in the view of the bone fide waterfall (!) coming down the cliff in the garden.

Very welcoming hosts. Beautiful garden. The accomodation had all the comforts of home. A great stay.

Secluded and quiet. Charming hosts and an incredible backyard. Very pleased!

Kobie and Ethlee were wonderful hosts. They greeted us warmly when we arrived and were very helpful in providing recommendations for the Vancouver area. I highly recommend them!

Absolutely perfect: Kobie and Ethlee were very nice hosts and the appartment met all our expectations! Try our the trail to the small harbour, it's definetely woth!! Would recommend to stay here again.

I felt welcomed and appreciated the ease of checking in late at night. I liked staying in this space for the night. The bed was comfy. In the morning I went for a walk on the nature trail that followed a creek to the ocean. The trees and ferns were enormous!!

Kobie was a great host. Beautiful location that was very convenient for catching the Horseshoe Bay ferry in the morning.

Jeff was a very nice and accommodating host, he even had yummy homemade goodies for us! He was readily available via message and quickly answered any questions we had. The room was accurately described and had a nice view of the garden area. The bed and bathroom were both very clean. Our visit was mainly for Vancouver but we actually ended up spending more time in Horseshoe Bay and this Airbnb location was perfect! The room is attached to the house so you do hear occasional noises (I believe the room was next to a living room, staircase, and below a kitchen so it got loud a few times). However, Jeff and other residents maintained quiet hours so it never interrupted our sleep. Next time we are in Horseshoe Bay, we will definitely be staying here again.

Jeff's place was exactly as described. It was clean, cozy and in a very quiet area close to the ferry terminal. Jeff responded to our booking request and every text after that almost immediately. The price is great, the private entrance and private bathroom are really convenient and we have only positive things to say about our stay here.

A very convenient location for us as we were catching an early ferry from Horse shoe bay and our little room had everything we needed and really was very near to the harbour! Comfortable, clean and convenient! Would recommend :-)

Jeff was great, very prompt to reply to my messages and accommodating. The private bedroom was perfect for my overnight stay in Vancouver - the bed is super comfy and I had a great sleep. Very clean and private. Coffee shops and restaurants within a very short walking distance; easy access to the highway and hiking.

This suite is located in a great location, within easy walking distance to the ocean, restaurants, coffee shops downtown, ferries etc. It's a small suite but perfectly laid out to make great use of the space. We were very comfortable and the bed was fabulous. We slept wonderfully. Jeff was very responsive before our arrival and throughout our stay. The wifi was good and there was street parking right outside.

Het was geweldig om bij Jeff in Horseshoe-Bay te logeren. Een goede uitvalsplek voor Vancouver, the Sunshinecoast en Whistler. We waren vooral erg verrukt van het dikke matras waardoor we heerlijk hebben geslapen. Horseshoe-Bay heeft heerlijke visrestaurant waar je heerlijk via kunt eten.

We discovered Horseshoe Bay because of Jeff's house on Airbnb... It's such a beautiful place. So we are very grateful to Jeff for getting Horseshoe Bay on the Airbnb map. The room is very clean and well kept. We stayed for one night and had a very pleasant stay. It was very easy to find the place and the check-in/check-out was super smooth.

This place is amazing! Nice and clean!

Karen & Corey's little suite was so lovely. My boyfriend and I arrived late and had a bit of trouble finding it, but Karen & Corey were available to help us out via message even though they were away in Mexico. The place was a great little getaway and their family (kids and dogs included!) were very sweet. I would definitely stay here again!

What a lovely time we had at Moulton Meadows. For a short and sweet trip to Bowen Island this was a perfect night away. My partner and I enjoyed sitting on the porch watching the ferries go by. Karen and Corey are kind, friendly and perfect hosts. My only wish is we could have stayed longer! Loved the fresh eggs in the morning!

Nicest hosts with the cutest kids and dogs. Amazing view of the ocean. Comfortable suite with a rustic look and feel.

There was some miscommunications, hosts were not there at the agreed time for meeting, not all amenities were stocked in the room and because the hosts were off the island we had to wait until the evening to get it sorted. They offered lots of excuses and one apology when we left the next day. The location, view and property were great, and the limited face to face interaction with hosts were pleasant. There was potential for a great getaway, but because it wasn't what we had hoped based on other reviews, I wont be back

Lovely place for a relaxing getaway. the walking trails on the farm are beautiful and the apartment is cosy and we'll equipped. It is a very steep driveway and would be difficult without 4wd in snowy conditions. The view is spectacular.

Karen and Cody were excellent hosts. They were friendly and available when we had questions, and went out of their way to make sure our stay was pleasant.

nice

We already loved the place as we were pulling up the driveway (courtesy of the herd of chickens). Check-in was simple and Karen & Corey had already placed fresh eggs in our fridge (they were delicious). Despite the pouring rain, we hiked up one of the trails on the farm. It was a beautiful hike through coastal rainforest. We decided to stay in for the evening (an easy decision because the suite was cozy and had a great view of the coast mountains and Horseshoe Bay). No complaints, will definitely come back.

This is a scenic spot with beautiful views and lots of birds!

We absolutely loved our stay here. It was pleasantly bigger than expected and so many areas for our kids to explore. It's tastefully decorated with many curios around. The book collection is excellent and the heated floors are great. Highlights were watching the hummingbirds at the feeder and the stellar jays and chickadees at the other window, the warm fireplace, the views of the ocean and passing ferry boats, the playground in the back, and children's toys to play with and books to read, the master bedroom with the magnificent views of the forest, the long porch and front area... so many things. We drove to a driftwood beach on hummingbird lane, had a great lunch at Rustique but missed artisan square as they close at 3 on Saturday. Isabel was a pleasure to correspond with. We would love to return again. Thank you for our Bowen experience.

Sam's loft is a great little studio-cosy and self contained. We found the location was also good -close to Horseshoe Bay area for food and Caulifeld for shops. Sam was a warm and friendly host-checking in on how we were doing. Pond area was a bonus. Only wish wifi signal was stronger throughout the whole place.

Sam's place was one of the nicest airbnbs we've stayed in. It's very small and yet feels spacious and comfortable, and is very well kitted out. The kitchen is well equipped in particular. The location is wonderful, in a neighborhood of lovely homes on the hillside above Marine Drive. We were in the area for a regatta at the West Vancouver Yacht Club and could not have been better located. Sam herself was perfect, making us welcome and checking on us when the power went out from a big storm. She offered so many wonderful options and we just loved her. We will definitely be coming back.

I have been looking forward to writing this review because I so much enjoyed staying with Sam and her family. To the point where I could write a novel on how fun it was!!! This is one of those instances when you feel that the internet and AirBnb actually does something meaningful other than lowering transaction costs - in this instance it connected people who had a great time together, and will have lasting friendship. Everything that happened while staying there was in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. Sam also cooked a lovely meal for my first night there, and the hospitality was amazing ;). If you get the chance to stay in Vancouver, go to the 'shore' and stay with them - you're bound to love it!

Sam made us feel at home right away! The location is perfect - not too far from downtown, ferries, and scenery. Safeway and gas is pretty close. Really beautiful home and lot! Very comfortable bed. Highly recommend getting a massage! Only downside is the internet connection is iffy - it is okay for quick browsing, but if you need a solid connection, I would recommend the other unit that it is in the house. Really lovely stay, and would stay here again!

Todo estuvo perfecto, Sam estuvo atenta en todo momento, el lugar es incluso mejor que en las fotografías, la limpieza impecable, la zona muy tranquila y segura, muy recomendable, volvería de nuevo sin duda. Muchas gracias!

Our stay was lovely. We were in town for a wedding and this location made it very convenient to get to where we needed to be without having to drive too far. There was great natural sunlight in the room and the room was very quiet and clean.

Cozy, older accommodation over a garage; comfortable bed; quite surroundings; small, well equipped kitchenette.

The Loft is a beautiful space with a private entry. The garden area is quiet and peaceful. We loved staying there! Great place, Great hosts!

Cute basement suite in a quiet neighbourhood, only a few minutes walk from the Killarney Lake trail and a short walk to the "downtown" area. We really enjoyed our stay! The only thing is the wifi signal is not super stable, but whatever, we were there for holidays :P

Nice location. Silvaine is a lovely host :)

Silvaine is a lovely host and the accommodation is beautiful, the perfect spot to spend a few relaxing days. We would definitely visit again!

This was a terrific stay. Wonderful quiet space, romantic stove, walking distance to the ferry, great little shops and cafes and restaurants, great hosts, and an amazing trail network. Will definitely be back!!

Very close to the ferry. You can leave your car in horseshoe Bay and hope on a ferry and relax for the weekend

We had a great stay at Tanya & Peter's and they wen't out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. Short walk from the ferry and a beautiful, cozy spot surrounded by nature.

Wow this place was amazing. Tanya and Peter were perfect hosts. The kitchen even has salt, pepper, oil and hot sauces! The coffee was fantastic. The bed was so comfy. That bath made my life. The location is fantastic; Peter and Tanya gave us a few well-enjoyed recommendations, all worth the trip! I would highly recommend them and will gladly stay again!

It was a treat to return to Peter and Tanya's beautiful suite on Bowen Island. Rain or shine, the space is inviting and a pleasure to spend time in, with a wood pellet stove to make things cozy in rainy weather and expanses of windows overlooking treetops in sunny (all!) weather. Perfectly situated away from the main road, but within easy walking distance to shops, restaurants, and hiking trails. Everything in the suite is clean, cozy, and convenient. Thanks again to Peter and Tanya for being such helpful and accommodating hosts!

Very accommodating hosts :) Very cold snap on the West Coast this year, and Peter and Tanya did their best to ensure we were warm

A great getaway. We would definitely come back. The house is walking distance to a beautiful lake. Lots of good walks. It's walking distance from restaurants. The Airbnb is very sweet and comfortable, with a beautiful view of the forest. Had a lovely time. Thank you! Lisa and Itamar

Peter and Tanya were very helpful and accommodating. The place is clean and well set up and beautifully situated close to nature as well as the shops and restaurants a close walk away. Highly recommended – we had our new baby with us and it was great for him, but I can also imagine it would be a perfect place for a romantic get away or solo relaxation time.

Gorgeous place! Lovely private area behind Meribeth's family home. The shower was a perk and beach is a medium walk away. You won't have a place to lock your belongings but we had everything else we needed! We will definitely recommend it to friends :)

the writer's hut was a great place and exactly as advertised. it had the coolest shower . . . ever.

We enjoyed our stay in this little cabin and the private bath cabin next door. Meribeth and Ross were very nice and gave us a lot of good suggestions on restaurants and hike options! Definitely recommend this place for a short weekend getaway!

From the moment we walked off the ferry Meribeth and Ross were very welcoming, they even picked us up from the ferry! Fresh coffee in the morning and beautifully wilderness right our the front door. They made it a very lovely stay and always willing to give recommendations for the island :)

Had a wonderful stay at the Writer's Cabin. The perfect relaxing weekend! The listing is as good as it looks in the photos and Meribeth and Ross were exceptional hosts. Great hospitality and communication. I would highly recommend this spot!

The reservation was canceled 5 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Meribeth and Ross were great, the location was great, walk/bus to the cove, we loved the cabin, bathroom and everything in it!

Lovely cabin, beautiful environs and a great selection of books. Ross and Meribeth were excellent hosts, and I strongly recommend this place for any solo artists looking for a quiet retreat that's easily accessible from Vancouver.

Listing description is accurate. Highlight: delicious box of gourmet chocolates waiting for us when we walked in. Nice touch to an already cute room that has everything you need!

We had a lovely stay! The chocolates were delicious, the hosts were accommodating, and the location was convenient. Would recommend!

Experience to this location is very positive. I arrived early and left my phone number for host to contact me when the suite is available. The host contacted me prior to check in time letting me know that they are ready. The location is finished with great touches.

The chocolate suite was a lovely experience. Despite being in the heart of Artisan square, it was very quiet during the night and into late morning. Everything was clean, comfortable and very well looked after. We had attempted a hike in the pouring rain and the chocolate suite was a wonderful oasis for us to warm up and relax in. Easy access to snug cove for dinner later too. The chocolates are absolutely fantastic as well. Even if you can't stay here at least go to Cocoa West for some delicious chocolate treats! Our hot chocolates and biscotti in the morning were amazing and we were raving the whole way home. Thanks!

Great place, greeted and sorted out the key very easily. Very hospital and full of local info. Chocolates were great.

Joanne and her husband were excellent hosts and the whole stay went off without a hitch and was very enjoyable. The added chocolates and hot chocolate included in the room were a nice touch as well as the picnic in a backpack set. We used it for a sunset picnic!

Good morning everybody, the Chocolate Suite was perfect, clean and new. Joanne has been very welcoming. She offered organic chocolates coming from the Cocoa West Chocolatier (her chocolate shop), organic and healthy snacks. The suite is located in a very charming place, close to restaurants and to the ferry. Good place to stay if you need a rest.

What a lovely experience! Joanne was out of town so she left us a large box of truffles and chocolates which were extremely delicious. The suite was lovely and cozy, the perfect spot for a romantic getaway on the island.

Paul is extremely hospitable and helpful. We misjudged the island's limited transit schedule and Paul came to pick us up to bring us to his place. He helped us get situated and gave us terrific suggestions for what to do on the island. Paul like the rest of the locals on Bowen Island were so friendly. We felt like we had an instant friend on the island. Thanks Paul!

Great stay and easy to get to from the Snug Cove Ferry. The place was exactly as described. Breakfast was wonderful. Marianne is a great host and very lively.

My friend and I stayed overnight here and it was perfect. Marianne was a wonderful host, giving us all sorts of information and then leaving us to enjoy the island and our private garden suite. Our breakfast was left in-suite in the morning by her equally kind Husband. The space is clean and cosy with a separate bedroom from living room/eating area. It has a cottage feel to it, and is in the lower level of their personal home, so you may hear some footsteps above. I would highly recommend it.

Staying with Marianne was a pleasure! Her space was private and comfortable, and with the good weather we were able to have a fire in her backyard which was lovely. Thanks for hosting!

Great location, close to shops and delicious food. Marianne and her husband served an amazing breakfast every morning, what a treat

A great place for a weekend away with a friend of mine. Marianne was easy to contact ahead of time to ask questions about arrival and what to do on the island. The place was very clean and comfortable, in the forest with a cozy living area looking out onto the large cedar trees.

We had a lovely brief visit to Featherstone. The photos are accurate, as is the listing. The rooms were cozy and tidy. One morning we woke up to deer walking through the yard : ) As a previous review noted, we did hear footsteps above us, but that isn't surprising considering the rooms are on ground level. We really enjoyed looking out onto all the greenery.

Marianne was a great host and the accommodation was as shown in the pictures, and is good value for money. Suite comes with a fridge (in an adjoining room) and microwave and kettle. It is also well-located in Bowen (if you have a car) with beaches and restaurants in easy reach. It is a little difficult to find the first time so make sure to get good directions. Ferry from Vancouver is every hour or so and takes 20 mins.

Wonderful private little B&B. Marianne was very welcoming and helpful. Would definitely stay again!
