Short and Long Term Rentals
Bowen Island Vacation Rentals
On the southern end of Sea to Sky, the island Municipality of Bowen Island is 6 kilometers west of the mainland and easily accessible from Vancouver via the Horseshoe Bay ferry terminal. With less than 4-thousand permanent residents, the population increases by almost half again during the summer months. Small businesses abound with a concentration around Snug Cove that includes a marina, a bank, gift shops, cafes, restaurants, pubs and grocery stores. A surprisingly extensive cultural life exists here too, including choral ensembles, a public art gallery and a kids’ theatre school. More sun-worshipper than art-appreciator? Bowen Island has several popular beaches including Bowen Bay, Tunstall Bay and Sandy Beach (yes, it is). Kayak rentals are available from Snug Cove but land-lubbers can also enjoy a day out courtesy of a hiking trail that begins at the ferry dock, leading to Killarney Lake and eventually Mount Gardner, the highest point on the island. … more information about the Sunshine Coast
