Holiday rentals with beach access in Bowen Island

The view is amazing! Bed is comfortable and the location is very convenient.

We stayed one night at Russells place. The location was conveniently situated for us in relation to the ferry terminal. What we appreciated about the location was that we had our own entrance and space. It was lovely to be able to sit outside on the balcony. The bathroom was spacious, with nice toiletries. Unfortunately, we couldn't cook in the kitchen, but we were aware of that as it was mentioned in the description. Luckily, the Nanaimo bars made up for it. What we personally find a bit of a shame — and this unfortunately happens at almost all Airbnbs — is that there’s no personal contact anymore. A key lockbox is very convenient, but we also feel it takes away a bit of the personal touch.

We stayed for 9 nights and it was exactly what we were expecting in a city stay. The apartment had all the basics, there’s a grocery store less than one block away, the amenities were great, and the neighborhood felt quite safe too. Parking was secure but tight for my mid-sized truck but that’s to be expected in a parkade. Many thanks!

Easy access to the heart of dt Vancouver. If you’re going over for an event or conference then this location will be perfect. Easy instructions with secure parking, you’ll be happy you’ve stayed here.

Beautiful place! Comfy bed, spa class linens, well-stocked kitchen and complementary coffee/tea/milk/cream/butter/jam/bread made it really easy to fix our meals when we wanted them. This is in an amazing walkable area with lots of great restaurants, and an easy walk to Kits beach. Tub is great if you love baths. Would definitely stay there again!

We had such a wonderful stay! The place was absolutely beautiful, spotless, and so comfortable — it truly felt like a home away from home. Patrick was an incredible host, very accommodating and thoughtful. He even surprised us with a beautiful welcome gift, which made us feel so special right from the start. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend staying here to anyone!

Sunsets from the wharf were awesome. Private. Supplied food was excellent. Personable host with excellent local knowledge.

Diana’s place was exactly like the pictures. Perfect size, perfect location and walking distance from almost everything. Diana was also super helpful and responsive to all messages! We will definitely stay there again if come back to Vancouver.

Ingrid and Marc's as hosts have gone above and beyond with all the amenities you will need for your stay. Bench 170 as a home is also beautifully designed and incredibly livable. I would love to stay at Bench 170 again and would highly recommend it!

Beautiful quiet home. Big sunny deck lots of chairs and space for all 6 of us. Enjoyed the bbq. Private beach access. Modern clean cabin. Very comfy beds. Kids loved the bunk beds. Awesome to have access to a washer and dryer. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. It’s bigger than the pictures show. Would love to come back. Highly recommend.

We loved this amazing view home in Nanaimo. It is comfortable and extremely clean. Brian is a wonderful host, very welcoming and helpful. He has gone the extra mile to make your stay memorable by having so many extras available for your enjoyment like kayaks, crab traps and even extra shoes! The home has an incredible view and water access that offers a beautiful place to relax each day. We saw orcas, humpbacks, and otters from the deck! My 4 yr old grandson loved watching the ferries and float planes. Nanaimo was so fun. We are planning on coming back and definitely want to stay at this home again.

I recently stayed at Ashley's place, and it was an exceptional experience! The property was exactly as described (and even better in person). It was spotless, cozy, and equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The attention to detail in the décor and amenities made it feel like a home away from home. The location was perfect, especially the view was amazing. I loved the closed huge backyard too because of my dog. Ashley was incredibly welcoming and providing clear communications. I would highly recommend this place to everyone. We definitely gonna stay at this place again. This time Summer.

We had a wonderful relaxing family vacation at Libby’s place. The home was very comfortable. The views were stunning! Great place to stay.

We loved staying at Dave’s Central location perfect for Nanaimo adventures, and super close to the ferry We’d love to get back some day!

This is an amazing property! The view is amazing. The cottage is so cozy. The kitchens are incredibly well stocked in both the suite and cottage. The beds are comfy. The hot tub/spa area is great. And while the walk between the two houses was a bit nerve racking in the rain/dark, the path is well lit and has tread along the way, keeping us safe. The doors are a little sticky to both houses, so at times we would get stuck outside, but eventually we were able to figure them out. But Chris and Jenn were great communicators and were able to assist when we needed it.

We visited for a family trip with our toddler and our 13-year-old pug, and had a fantastic time staying at Katherine’s Airbnb. The view was stunning, and her place was spotless. We’re already looking forward to our next stay and would highly recommend staying here!

Very lovely, clean place! Beautiful view and convenient location. The host was responsive and gave very clear instructions for everything. I hope to stay again!

Ideal location close to great restaurants and sites (lots within walking distance), and a beautiful apartment. The check-in could not have been easier, and our host responded quickly to questions. Very highly recommended!

We had such a wonderful stay at Kate’s place! The location was perfect — tucked away in a quiet spot downtown, but just a short walk to so many great restaurants, shops, and attractions. Having a parking space was a huge bonus since we had a rental car. The unit was super clean, easy to access, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Just a heads-up for future guests: the AC unit isn’t installed until May, so it was a little warm at night even with the fan and windows open, but it was totally manageable. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely recommend Kate’s place — we’d happily stay here again!

Excellent location, walked to grocery store, restaurants, Stanley Park, Granville Island, etc.

What a wonderful place, cozy, clean, great amenities including the beautiful and private balcony! Great location!

Kay was a friendly, responsive host with a very clean and cosy place. We loved the location as the Aquabus to go to Granville Island was just across the street and the cute little taxiboats brought you over in no time. In 2 minutes walk you were on the Seawall as well. Also connection to downtown was easy and fast, just a bit uphill but very accessible.

Loved staying at Alex’s place! The building was very safe (I was traveling solo), her apartment was spotless, and the room was comfortable and quiet. I took advantage of the parking space and that was a huge perk. The bathroom has an oversized tub that was wonderful to soak in after a long day at the conference I was visiting for. I’d definitely stay here again!

Location, location , location! This unit is 3 min away from the Seabus and your front yard is a beautiful walkway by the water. All amenities provided and Kash was attentive to additional needs. Parking is easy and if you follow the instructions , you’ll go smoothly. Will stay again . Thanks Kash.
