Imagine oceanfront, forested tranquility only a few minutes from the city of Vancouver! Bowen Seaside Retreat is just a short 20-minute ferry ride from West Vancouver, British Columbia. Only 30 minutes from beautiful Cypress mountain, you may ski in the morning, then swim in the afternoon from the private waterfront of this beautiful property! From the east-facing windows, you can see the highway to Whistler, the location of the 2010 Olympics, only a little over an hour away.

As soon as you step through the door, you will feel the sense of awe and serenity that this sunny south-facing ocean front paradise evokes. From almost every room in both the main house and the coach house, you will be able to see the ocean and hear it as it laps against the shore. Walk out the door of Bowen Seaside Retreat to one of the five deck levels on which you may sit and watch the eagles soar overhead. Your eyes will undoubtedly be drawn to the majestic coastal mountains, often snow-capped, to the left. At night, gaze at the moon and the stars as you sit and enjoy a relaxing hot tub, situated on the rocks overlooking the ocean and mountains, just outside the door.

You are just steps away from a little sundeck, located near the shore. Watch the ferry as it glides by, every half hour, to and from Snug Cove, Bowen Island, and Horseshoe Bay, West Vancouver.

The brand-new self-contained coach house with a separate entrance allows some of your party to enjoy privacy. The coach house has a kitchen, bathroom, fireplace, vaulted ceilings, living, dining and sleeping area. It even has its own private deck!
