Relaxing Stay with Everything We Needed

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!

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.

Great stay on Bowen !

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.

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!

One Night on Bowen Island

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.
