About this property

Exclusive Oceanfront Bowen Island Beach House. Peaceful & Private beach access.

Custom built in 2010, the Bowen Island Boutique Beach House is a luxurious three-bedroom contemporary designer home set on 1.5 acres of private waterfront, offering panoramic views of the Salish Sea and Vancouver Island’s snow-capped mountains.

Designed by renowned Canadian architecture firm superkül inc., in collaboration with an internationally recognized landscape architect, the home is modernism at its finest. Contemporary and minimalist in design, it is a house of glass where outdoor splendor and indoor simplicity exist in perfect balance. This retreat is ideal for guests seeking a deep connection with nature without sacrificing modern comfort.

In winter, overlook the blue waters while relaxing beside the striking two-sided wood-burning fireplace, or unwind in the bedrooms with uninterrupted ocean views. In summer, enjoy direct access to the shoreline from the private waterfront, including complimentary use of stand-up paddleboards and two kayaks, easily launched from the platform dock. The beach and dock area are secluded from neighboring properties, offering exceptional privacy.

The home features heated stone floors, central air conditioning, 14-foot ceilings, and is fully equipped with surround-sound audio, 3D television, cable, DVD, high-speed internet, Wi-Fi, and top-of-the-line appliances throughout.

The home comfortably sleeps six guests in three queen-size bedrooms and includes two bathrooms with European rain shower heads. An outdoor hot tub completes the experience.

Nine-foot lift-and-slide wood doors open onto a deck perched high within the Douglas Fir canopy. Floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the home invite guests to fully engage with the spectacular natural setting. Fall asleep to the sound of ocean waves and wake beneath a star-filled horizon, revealed through expansive glass walls in every room.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Abraham's property is such a rare gem - the house itself is impeccably designed including unique art & sculpture, kitchen well stocked, and high end linens and beds. The setting is even better - the view from the deck is spectacular at all times of day, we loved watching the tide go in and out and seals playing. The boat lift is incredible to be able to get right out on the water with their kayaks or SUPs. We loved hiking the numerous trails on the island and the local food. We hope to be back to this magical place!

About the host

Hosted by Abe Chaiton, Owner

Host profile image
The realization of Bowen Island Boutique Beach House has been a labour of love. Its owner Dr. Abe Chaiton's dream of living on Bowen Island a long time aspiration. In 1992, Abe fell in love with British Columbia having spent extended time in the province serving as a locum for resident doctors. Sailing up and down the coast to Desolation Sound, Abe was mesmerized by the west coast landscape and enlightened by the people they met on his adventures. Yet Bowen Island stood apart in his fond memories as an unspoiled Canadian gem where life’s simple treasures could be appreciated. And so, each year for ten years, he moored his sailboat, Luba, in Snug Cove, claiming temporary residence on the island, but constantly scouting for just the right spot where he could one day build his dream home.

In 2009, Abe finally found such a place, a rare property on the waterfront with its own private beach and secluded setting, perfectly embodying the spirit of Bowen Island that they fell in love with. This home, now completed and sitting proudly perched above the Salish Sea, is a simple architectural glass box that celebrates modern sensibility, and respect for art. From local furniture manufacturers, east coast folk artists, and Inuit print makers to contemporary sculptors and photographers, there’s a touch of Canadian diversity in every room.

Why they chose this property

A love of the west coast, the people, and their quality of life. The constant change of sound, scenery, and light on this property are captivating.

What makes this property unique

You can do so much and so little and be completely satisfied. The Island offers many activities but it's the still moments that are most memorable, when we are just looking out at the water and the green around us. We enjoy going to visit the quaint restaurants, craft shops, and markets in the town where everything tastes and smells better. We also enjoy kayaking and sailing, while having easy access to go to the city for the day.
