Caboose · Lovely 1-bedroom ocean & mountain views cottage

The Caboose

Lovely 1-bedroom cottage with ocean and mountain views.
One of Bowen’s favorite Cottages. Fondly known as the ‘Caboose’ as it's a separate living space from the main house located at the back of the property.

A 10 minute drive across the Island from the ferry and the amenities of Snug Cove. Close to Tunstall Bay Beach, the oceanside trail and beaches in The Cape and one of the west side access trails to hike up Mt Gardner.
Suitable for a quiet retreat for singles or a couples only.

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. Totally private and peaceful back patio area. The only sound maybe the owls in the forest behind, a few neighbouring chickens (no rooster) and an occasional frog visiting the pond in garden below. Front deck has panoramic views of Mount Gardner to the north with ocean and Sunshine Coast mountain range views sunset west.

Accessed by a staircase so not wheelchair friendly or for those with physical challenges

Please see bowenislandvacationrental.ca for more details.
Please do not congregate near the homeowners private spaces including the driveway or garden area. The home owner requires access to the driveway and garage so please find parking on the street in front of the house.

We had such a lovely, cozy time. The weather was rainy but it lended itself to many a fire in the fireplace. Every window held a beautiful view. It was very private and welcoming.
