The Guest House is located on Bowen Island, a short ferry ride from the Mainland and Vancouver. Bowen Island is part of an island complex that stretches north to Alaska. With its heavily indented coastline and fjords this area is known world wide for its magnificent yachting and kayaking experiences. Whales, otter and seal lions are at home here.
Situated as it is with proximity to the metropolis of Vancouver, Bowen island is at the same time, a rural area where mountains and forests dominate the landscape. The north part of the island points towards the mainland mountains and Vancouver slightly to the east, and is the location of the ferry terminal and a complex of restaurants, shops, and community services.
The Guest House is situated in the southern part of the island in a sequestered forested area that offers privacy and seclusion. It is a short 5 to 10 minute walk to the seashore that looks out across the inland Salish Sea to the large and long Vancouver Island which protects the mainland and Vancouver from the open Pacific. The semi-private beach is a setting for swimming, kayaking, and paddle boarding.
The Guest House is ideal for persons seeking a quiet natural setting away from the bustle of the city, yet close enough to enjoy its life, amenities and work opportunities. For the writer and researcher, University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University offer excellent library service.
Known affectionally as “Silicon Valley North”, and one of the most livable cities in North America, Vancouver, is a big draw for remote tech workers, hybrid digital nomads, and elite global tech firms seeking to establish satellites offices.
The Guest House is a fully furnished two story stand alone structure with a queen size bed upstairs and a pull-out double bed sofa downstairs. The house can easily accommodate a single person or a couple upstairs and two children under 10 downstairs. It includes wifi, a full kitchen, a bathroom with a shower and free parking.

Frequently asked questions for this offer
What happens after I make a reservation?
Once you send a reservation request, the landlord is notified that you are interested in their offer. From that moment, they have 24 hours to approve or reject your reservation.
Landlords are mainly interested in the profile of their tenant. Do not forget to fill in all necessary information, add your profile picture, or even make a short video about yourself. Doing that will make you more attractive for the owner and your reservation will more likely get approved.
What is the standard furnishing of flats?
All the apartments on offer on Flatio must meet certain standards. We require fully furnished and equipped ones, dishes, cutlery and internet connection included.
What is a medium-term rent?
The duration of a medium-term rent is usually 1 to 12 months. Most of the landlords offer long-term rents or rents for just a few days, therefore getting a medium-term rent without Flatio is not that easy.
Can I go through the contract before I make a reservation of the housing?
You can take a look at the contract in advance and online with every offer. After you sign it, you will find it in the application My Housing.
While arranging a contract on Flatio, you do not have to worry that it could be disadvantageous for you. Our contracts are made so that we avoid all problems! All of them are the same, used by all the landlords on Flatio.
Can I see my chosen accommodation in person before I sign the lease agreement?
Your time is precious. That's why we've added a virtual tour option to our platform so you can see some of the rentals listed on Flatio from the comfort of your own home.
If a virtual tour isn't available for the accommodation you've chosen, you can contact the landlord and ask them if they're willing to give you a personal tour of the rental unit.
If you move in and find that the rented accommodation doesn't match the information on Flatio at the time the reservation request was sent to the landlord, you can withdraw from the lease agreement under certain circumstances explained in this article in our help center.
Also, under our "secure move-in" policy, we'll assist you with moving to an alternative accommodation if you report within a certain period of time that the rental unit doesn't match the ad and the landlord doesn't fix the problem immediately. You can read the details in our help center.
How can I pay?
On Flatio, you have a variety of payment methods to choose from. You can use your card, payment gateway or bank transfer. Just pick the one which suits you the most.
How can I cancel my reservation?
How you can cancel a reservation varies depending on what stage the reservation is in.
Is your reservation request still waiting for landlord approval? Then you can simply cancel it directly from your My Housing web app!
However, suppose the owner has already approved your reservation request, and you are no longer interested in it. In that case, you can still cancel the reservation before you sign the lease agreement. Just consider that you should do this only in essential cases. Because when the landlord accepts your reservation, their property is stopped being advertised, and they can lose the chance to rent their property to someone else.
Do you have an approved reservation and also a valid agreement? In order to cancel your reservation, contact Flatio customer support well in advance of your contract beginning (the specific time and amount of refund depends on the type of cancelation policy).
