Relaxing Stay with Everything We Needed

We had a great stay! The place was clean, comfortable and such beautiful natural light! Check-in was seamless, and the host was very responsive, graciously accommodating an early check-in, which we really appreciated. The location was convenient, though having a car is recommended. All in all, a great experience, we’d happily stay here again!

Hello, Erica. Thank you very much for your reservation Charming Nest and review. We very appreciated it. I would like just to add a small detail to your review: This unit doesn't have a kitchen - this unit has a kitchenette. We honestly give this information on VRBO site: "The unit has a living room, two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a kitchenette (4.3 square meters)." According to vocabular definition, "kitchenette is a small kitchen or part of a room equipped as a kitchen". You are welcome to book Charming Nest again at any time if you will want to rest around Pacific Ocean on Bowen Island in the future. We will apply all our efforts to make your rest pleasant. Thank you very much. Andrey

Great stay on Bowen !

We had a short one night stay. Very impressed with the accommodation overall. As the photos indicate the kitchen is tiny tiny but well equipped even with a handy mini dishwasher and oven/cooktop. Would recommend for a group of 4-6.

We enjoyed our stay

We had not stayed on that part of the island prevopusly. There were very good trails near by. Charming Nest could have more island maps.Very comfortable quarters. Stove top was not all that useful but there is a microwave abd electric kettle.Overall we were comfortable and also enjoyed the backyard. Thanks

Good evening, Connie. Thank you very much for your reservation Charming Nest and your review. However, your review is little bit strange. 1. We don’t know what kind of maps you have needed. We are not able to provide specific topographic maps for each area on Bowen Island. Google Map is available and it may satisfy all specific requirements in maps for free. Charming Nest has high speed internet to get any map if you needed it. Moreover, we have left to you specially our contacts for assistance. You didn’t ask any help from us after your arrival in Charming Nest. 2. Stove top is absolutely useful to fry eggs and cook non-large simple meals as it was described on VRBO site. If the “stove top was not all that useful” it wouldn’t be certified and sold in Canada. You have forgotten to write that kitchenette had a toaster-oven, a slow cooker, a coffee maker, a bread toaster – not just a microwave, and a kettle. Thank you very much. You are welcome to reserve Charming Nest at any time again if you will want to rest on Bowen Island. We will apply all our efforts to make your rest pleasant. 8 May 2025 Andrey

One Night on Bowen Island

The listing is accurate and it was a very clean place to stay. Check in instructions were clear and easy. We enjoyed our time! The only thing is that we were afraid to use any of the apartment items as there were signs everywhere instructing us on proper usage and fees if things were not cleaned up to the owners standards. I understand that being a host is difficult and perhaps the owners have had some bad luck with previous visitors. However, the fees for both gathering towels, taking out the trash, having leaves on the steps, checking for leaks and clogs before checking out, etc. made us a bit uneasy. There were signs on every trashcan and on every appliance, and many walls and items.

Hello, Victoria. Thank you very much for your review. We very appreciated it. You absolutely right this unit is “very clean” because we take care about healthy environment for rest of our guests. We hire cleaning service for this. You made very interesting conclusion about clear and easy instructions. I am hearing the first time in my life “instructing in proper usage” may scare people to use items. Usually, absence of instructions in "proper usage" creates problem in using items for people. Nobody has complained before that instruction such as “It is better do not flash hygienic items in a toilet” or “Please remove food scraps from dishes before loading in a dish washer” or “Remove a garbage” made them “a bit uneasy”. We checked every item (device) after your review and we didn’t find “signs” that we asked to “clean them up” according to “owners standard”. Did you see any our asking to clean up an oven, a cook top, a toaster, a coffee maker, a slow cooker, any sink or something else? I have doubts that you have seen them. Unfortunately, you forgot to write what was real: we ask our guests to leave street shoes on the first floor. As result, tree “leaves” are not supposed to be on a step and on the second floor in a living zone. We charge minimal cleaning fee ($50) for proper cleaning this 2BDR and 2BTH unit In order do not increase general price suggesting that guests will follow rules. If guests use street shoes in a living zone, don’t remove garbage, don’t gather towels and so on, cleaning company increases price for us. It is choice of guests to follow rules or to pay additional fee for cleaning or plumber services. VRBO and AIRBNB rules supposes to request additional cleaning fee if it is applicable. These instructions help our guests don't pay avoidable fees especially for plumbing services in self-checking in and self-checking out units. You are welcome to come again. We will apply all our efforts to make your rest pleasant and easy. Thank you very much for your staying. We very appreciated it. Andrey
