Description

This charming & cozy vintage Bowen cottage is a perfect island getaway. From the front door you are welcomed with a beautiful view of the ocean looking out to Bowen´s shoreline and the Gulf Islands in the distance. The spacious south-facing deck is where you´ll spend time lounging with a book, entertaining, or gazing at the beauty of a full moon reflecting on the water. Grab the binoculars and look for Humpbacks & Orcas who visit seasonally. Inspired by the ocean there is a delightful deep turquoise front deck and painted wood floors on the main level. Downstairs is just as cheerful with the terracotta painted flooring and large windows that provide ocean views. Updates include a newer septic system, newer roof, gutters, and more. The Eagle Cliff neighbourhood was a summer destination for families who boated over from Vancouver before roads existed. The community dock at the beach (a 5 min. walk) is a popular place for locals to hang out and swim, and you can also tie up your dinghy during the summer season. (id:63159)

How this is calculated

Amenities: points awarded per category (restaurants, cafes, grocery, parks, shopping, gyms, pharmacies, banks/ATMs, healthcare) based on distance to the nearest one — 3 points under 200m, 2 points under 500m, 1 point under 800m — summed across all 9 categories and scaled to 0–100.

Transit: based on the number of transit stops within 800m and their mode (SkyTrain weighted highest, then streetcar/ferry, then bus). This reflects stop type and count only — our data doesn't include how often a route actually runs, so frequency is never factored in.

Both scores depend on how much of the surrounding area has been synced from OpenStreetMap and TransLink's GTFS feed. A lower score can mean fewer amenities nearby, or simply that this area hasn't been fully synced yet — not a confident measurement of the location itself.
