It is 7-10 min by car to restaurants, cafes, sushi, a pizzeria, boutique shops at Bowen Island Village, Artisan Place and a ferry terminal. Public transportation is available - a local bus (280 route). Come to relax and listen birds in the morning and sit by the creek on the hot afternoons.

Bowen e-bike shop offers 10% off for our guests if they want to get e-bike or another transport at Bowen e-bikes shop . The shop is 20 meters to the left when you walk off the ferry. We provide a discount code to get 10% off after your reservation in Charming Nest

For those of you not familiar with the area, Travel to West Vancouver (20 min by a ferry from Bowen Island) and Vancouver downtown (30 min by 257 bus from a ferry terminal in West Vancouver) is a short and pretty pleasant little trip. Day-trips to the mainland all via public transportation are possible - just watch the ferry schedule for the last one to return to home. The ferry is the only option on and off the island- it is better to be there 20 minutes before the sailing even if there is no line up, and much earlier if there is a line up. North Vancouver traffic is unpredictable and sometimes it may take an hour or more to get to the ferry terminal. Ferry delays are possible, unfortunately. If you are a walk tourist, please check 280 local bus schedule for the last bus to get Charming Nest from Snug Cove (Bowen Island ferry terminal). Bowen Island doesn't have a taxi.

    Property was just a listed. Looked very new and clean. Kitchen was very small but had everything you would need. The restaurants on the island were great. Had a great weekend.

    We had not stayed on that part of the island prevopusly. There were very good trails near by. Charming Nest could have more island maps.Very comfortable quarters. Stove top was not all that useful but there is a microwave abd electric kettle.Overall we were comfortable and also enjoyed the backyard. Thanks

    We had a great stay! The place was clean, comfortable and such beautiful natural light! Check-in was seamless, and the host was very responsive, graciously accommodating an early check-in, which we really appreciated. The location was convenient, though having a car is recommended. All in all, a great experience, we’d happily stay here again!

    The listing is accurate and it was a very clean place to stay. Check in instructions were clear and easy. We enjoyed our time! The only thing is that we were afraid to use any of the apartment items as there were signs everywhere instructing us on proper usage and fees if things were not cleaned up to the owners standards. I understand that being a host is difficult and perhaps the owners have had some bad luck with previous visitors. However, the fees for both gathering towels, taking out the trash, having leaves on the steps, checking for leaks and clogs before checking out, etc. made us a bit uneasy. There were signs on every trashcan and on every appliance, and many walls and items.

    My friend and I stayed at Charming Nest for two night with two teens. The place is amazing. You can't beat the location, it is just 5 min walking distance from the Tunstal Bay. The place is exceptionally clean and has everything that is listed.
