We are in the Millers Landing area of Bowen Island—very close to the main town of Snug Cove, but a world away in terms of quietude and the feeling of being up front and personal with nature. David Road is a small, residential street that winds along the coast, and our family property comprised of a few cottages hugging the hillside that drops dramatically down in to the Howe Sound. We have ocean access via stairs to the water. You can see neighbours on both sides, but the cottages are situated ahead of them and so the space feels very private.
There are 2 oceanfront cabins at the bottom of the staircase beyond the parking area. They are completely private and self contained. Park in the private driveway and walk to the top of the staircase that leads down to cabins. Full instructions will provided at the time of check in.
Welcome to our beloved family oceanfront property on beautiful Bowen Island. This listing for the Miller Oceanfront Retreat includes two oceanfront cabins situated on a high rocky bluff directly above the sea. Being right at the water's edge and sweeping views of the Coastal Mountains are what make this place special. If you want a unique, memorable experience of coastal British Columbia without travelling too far from Vancouver, this property on Bowen Island is a solid choice for groups of up to 6 people in 2 cabins.
The main SALT CABIN sleeps up to 4 people in two beds. It offers a fully equipped kitchen, bathroom with tub/shower combo, wood-burning fireplace, king bed and gorgeous ocean views, and large patio with comfortable dining and lounge seating, a propane fire table, and BBQ.
The neighbouring ARBUTUS CABIN sleeps up to 2 people. It has a queen bed with ocean views, a private bathroom, and coffee/tea bar. It is just steps away from the SALT CABIN. It has its own patio with cozy lounge furniture.
The two cabins both have sweeping views of Howe Sound—you can't get closer to the water. We frequently see whales, sea lions, seals, and all sorts of other marine and bird life. Sunrises over the coastal mountains are enchanting, and the backlit mountains at sunset provide a gorgeous ambiance for nighttime patio meals. There is access to the water down the stairs, via rocky terrain. Kayak, swim or fish from the rocks! Relax by the water, unwind by the fire inside or out, and enjoy a serene island getaway. Watch the moon and sunrise from any of the outer decks, sip coffee overlooking the ocean while watching the eagles soar overhead.
NEED MORE SPACE?:
This listing is for the Salt + Arbutus Cabins that sleep up to 6 in 3 beds. If you need more space, you can inquire about the availability of the CEDAR CABIN to add sleeping for up to 2 more guests.

Inside, you'll find a kitchenette, bathroom with shower/tub, and private bedroom with a queen bed. The living room has a quality pull out sofa.
One of the two Bowen Island busses will stop by request near the entrance of Miller Road and it would take maybe 10 minutes to walk to the property from that drop off point. There is no Uber or taxi service on the island. It is recommended that you bring your car to take advantage of all there is to see and do on Bowen, though it IS possible to come to this property without a vehicle by bus, bike (rent and eBike from Bowen eBikes), or on foot. We can provide maps that will get you here via small roads and trails, including crossing one of our favourite nearby beaches.

There are baseboard heaters as well, but to properly get it warm in the cabin in the winter months, the wood stove is essential. There is electric, baseboard heat in the Arbutus Cabin.
