Lovely 2400 square foot 3 bedroom rancher on one acre of walk-on waterfront,and 120 feet of your own beachfront. Sit on your 400 foot patio deck just 30 feet from the high tide line and watch the cruise ships pass in the evening or catch the sunrise with a cup of coffee. Most rooms command breathtaking panoramic ocean views. Watch the seals, eagles and grey herons, enjoy the tidal pools, let your kids go kayaking in the sheltered bay.
The house comfortably sleeps 8 with an additional queen sofa bed in the den/TV room, makes room for 10. Perfect for a couple or a large family reunion, open plan kitchen, dining and living area with wood fireplace - great for entertaining. Bedroom layout is such that there are bedrooms at either end of the house, great for providing privacy.
There is a large level grassy area to play horseshoes or pitch a tent.
Finish your day with a beach fire, after visiting the many wonderful attractions Bowser is central to.
Will be happy to email more photos if interested.

We had an absolutely great time at your house. It was the perfect spot with the perfect kid/baby gear. All 4 kids had a ball and we enjoyed many glasses of wine over Scrabble in the evenings.

Hi Megan and family. I just wanted to tell you that we had such a great time in Bowser. Your house there is soooo wonderful and accomodating. I hope that we can rent again, as we would love to come back some day, maybe next year??!!! Thanks again for giving us the opportunity to have such a great memory of our families being together. Very memorable!
