Description

Very cute and cozy, representing a blast back to Bowen's quiet past. This cottage has a fantastic view looking across to Keats Island and the Sunshine Coast, with sunsets shining throughout much of the year. Inside features 2 beds and 1 bathroom, with an open plan LR/Kitch. The wrap around deck will surely become a focal point for blissful summer evenings. A detached workshop sits out back. All within easy walking distance to King Edward Bay and Clipper Beaches, and close to trails up Mt Gardner and more. (id:63159)

3 stop(s) within 800m

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.
