A beautiful, cozy, tranquil, waterfront property which dates back to 1918 when it was first…read morediscovered. This 1920's art-deco inspired rustic cabin is rich with history and it's been in the Eastman family for almost a century! The views from the cabin and property are stunning and it's nestled in a very private neighbourhood on quaint little Bowen Island (only a short 20 minute ferry ride from downtown Vancouver, and a 10 minute drive north to the property). The cabin faces north but we were still able to enjoy some morning sun, with the best part being the mid-afternoon sun to the awesome sunsets. Wow! Our two dogs just loved this waterfront gem - it was a perfect spot for them to laze around and swim in the ocean. We rented the cabin through Bowen Island Accommodations (contact: Jan). She was very helpful, thorough and corresponded with us promptly. The cabin was clean and all of the instructions communicated were clear. Note: * sleeps 4 * the bed in the master is only a double * cozy, 500 sq ft rustic cabin (they have another much larger property for rental next door) * the waterfront (north) side of the property slopes down on a rocky stretch (caution for young children) * nominal pet fee * restaurants in Snug Harbour are only a 10-minute drive This was such a memorable get-away for us, I'm so glad I did my research. Enjoy all the details in the photos! http://www.bowenislandaccommodations.net/property/1628ewc Jan@BowenIslandAccommodations.net

We live on Bowen Island and love supporting local business in order to help keep our island…read morethriving. After running a company for 20 years in business we decided to sell our business and in doing so wanted to treat all our staff to a weekend get away on Bowen Islanx, while supporting Bowen business. We found the Eastman Water retreat on Bowen and thought it was expensive but ideal for our thank you gift to our staff. We booked a weekend with them and paid the absorb $3000 deposit just to secure the spot. On the night that our 6 guests arrived, Bowen got hit with one of the worse snow storms ever and most of the island was without power. We had planned a nice cooked diner at our house for our guests (husband, wife + 2 small babies), but unfortunately due to having no electricity we decided to move our diner to the Eastman retreat that we had paid for that happens to have power. It was myself and my spouse with 2 adults and 2 babies ages 1 and 2 that joined the innitial 6 people we had booked the resort for. We cooked a great meal together for everyone, shoveled the snow together and then left them to enjoy the retreat as me, myself and our 2 adult friends with thier 2 small children headed back to our cold house without power. After the weekend wrapped we all signed the guest book expressing our appreciation for the space. The next day we received a nasty phone call from Jan Stevens who repremended us and accused us of lying to her and told us that on top of our $ 1,700 bill for 2 days she has charged our credit card for an extra $600 for having 13 people sleep in the house! First of all we live on Bowen and would NEVER cheat anyone let alone a fellow Bowener! We pleaded with her that her accusation was rediculous as her house only sleeps 6 people which we booked for. She insisted that we were lying to her and that she would be keeping the additional 600 she charged us. It was a horrible feeling being called a liar and than having her explain to us how what we did does not sit well with Bowen people. Well the interesting thing is WE live on Bowen Island and are very much "Bowen people" and Jan Stevens who runs the Eastman Waterfront retreat as well as the Lazy Bowen Hideaway DOES NOT EVEN LIVE ON BOWEN ISLAND!! So in our quest to support our neighbors we ended up paying a rediculous sum to someone who lives in Palm Springs or Nevada not sure, but definitely NOT Bowen Island. She is not doing anything for OUR community! She is taking money off of the island. Also her rediculous cancelation policy which says if you can't get to your booked destination here due to ferry, weather or anything else. ...you lose your deposit ($3000) and are to blame for not arriving. Also if you have any day guests arrive just to say hello...you pay $50 a person for the visit and they cannot stay for diner or you pay more. The dumbest policy EVER and I wish we read it before we threw our money away to someone who does not even live on island. So if you're trying to support Bowen business, please do not rent from her! She is not very fruendly and was ok with leaving a family with 2 small babies out in the cold during the worse snow storm in history! Thanks for ruining a great end to a great company!

Lots of equipment available and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We had limited time in our day to return to the ferry and they even charged a half hour rate rather than a full hour which I don't think many others would do.

One of the greatest challenges we had was that I was far away from Vancouver due to work, and he was my only reliant contact in lower mainland to work towards selling my place. He accepted the huge burden of dealing with everything in my absence, and went above and beyond what a typical realtor would have done to overcome every little and big challenge to successfully sell the condo. I will work with him again next time and recommended him to all my friends as a great candidate to sell their place. Thank you, Elliot! It was an absolute pleasure having you as my representative!

She had an attitude when you got back to her a little bit late, even during the working hours. I would say she basically bullies you to make sure that you'll do whatever she wants. But when it comes to her, she'll leave everything until the last moment, without showing any respect for your time. I once asked her nicely and politely for her timeline for doing a task (just after she missed two great deals just because she was lazy) and she verbally attacked me out of no where; saying that I have no right to ask for timeline and she has 3 other clients and I have to thank her for the fact that she took the time to do her job. Seriously, she used the fact that she has 3 other clients as an excuse to mess up my business. In the middle of a 1M+ she was talking back to me with such an attitude like I owe her something. She wasn't able to read the emails and texts properly. I ended up doing a 1M+ business with her, which I can't regret more. She was absolutely horrible at negotiation. It seems like she was negotiating for the other side. The only nice (!?!) thing she's done was apologizing (of course with attitude) to me the night that we made the 1M+ deal. She apologized, saying, "I'm sorry that it seemed like I wasn't on your side during the deal." Interestingly enough, she does both mortgage and real estate, and she does the worst job humanly possible in both of them. I really can't write enough about all the messed things she said and done. You'll be better off with literally ANY random realtor other than she Prasad. I'm looking into the legal options, as I believe I have enough evidence to prove that she violated multiple terms of our agreement. In the meantime, I hope this review helps other people to avoid this kind of situation.
