The one sink full bathroom has a shower with a bathtub (length 56", width 27", depth 14"). A double sink full bathroom has a shower cabin. The backyard has a picnic area and a gas barbeque (two or three burners). Parking is on a driveway in front of the home (maximum 3 cars).. This beautiful place may accommodate up 4 adults and 2-3 children (or maximum 5-6 adults). Reservation of this unit for seven persons and more is possible after an additional request and approval. This place is surrounded by tranquil forest and backing onto a creek with easy access to Tunstall Bay Beach (800 m-8 mins by walking), Cape Rogers Curtis Beach (2.8 km), Golf Club and numerous hiking trails. 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.

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!

Awesome place to stay, especially for business. Great host who will help you out with anything you need. Very clean, quiet, and private. Excellent, peaceful surroundings.
Spotless clean place, amazing and easy to reach out hosts.
It was the most organized place I've stayed.
I would absolutely return to this property :)
Thank you!!
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.
Very impressed with this beautiful place. The owners went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable. They were particularly helpful with our children and ensuring the accommodations were suited to them. Thank you!

Nice floor plan. Clear instructions from owner. Lovely surroundings, very tranquil.
It was a short stay but me and my friends had a wonderful time in this clean, tidy place. Andrey and Olga were prompt in addressing our questions. Thank you😇
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.
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.
Very accommodating hosts. Very clean and comfortable. 2 full bathrooms is such a bonus when travelling as a family. We had a short but quiet and enjoyable stay!
I stayed in Andrey and Olga place for my birthday getaway. The place is so comfy. Andrey and Olga were very caring and thoughtful, definitely made my birthday getaway much more memorable!
We had a short one night stay. Very impressed with the accommodation overall. As the photos indicate the kitchen is tiny tiny but well equipped even with a handy mini dishwasher and oven/cooktop. Would recommend for a group of 4-6.
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

This was a lovely accommodation with very accommodating hosts! It slept 4 adult people comfortably - any more adults might be too much.
The beautiful large tub in the bathroom was so very inviting but was unavailable - a difficult tease! Very clean and well kept! Thank you!
