Vacation rentals in Bowser

We stayed at Erin’s place for a few days — my husband, a couple of friends, and I — and the experience truly exceeded our expectations. The house is even more beautiful in person: cozy, stylish, and fully equipped with everything we needed to enjoy a memorable stay. The space is peaceful, perfect for resting, and also great for spending quality time together. Honestly, we wish we could have stayed longer! We definitely want to come back and are already recommending it to our friends. Thank you for such a special and comfortable stay.

Really enjoyed our stay and sharing this very nice 3 bedroom cottage with our friends. Close to the beach, hiking, walking trails, golf. several attractions and the town of Parksville. Lots of good dining options nearby as well as good facilities for eating in when we chose to. Would definitely stay here again.

David's place is one of a collection of cozy cabins all nestled in together. The pool and hot tub were a great amenity to have on hand. The place is very comfortable with good beds and all the fixings. We were a group of 4 guys and it made for easy living. David was responsive and accommodating. I will 100% stay here again.

This was the best Airbnb we have ever stayed in. I could not recommend it more. Kelli was so helpful and accommodating and the Airbnb was spotless when we arrived. The property is beautiful with goats, a hot tub, a pond, and tons of nature. We had wonderful mornings sitting on the deck drinking coffee and walking around the property and the road. It was relaxing and wonderful and if you are looking for somewhere to stay, this is it!

Super location with beach access for great low tide walks. Lots of restaurants and coffee shops close by, a few are walking distance the rest are a short drive. Andrew's place is very quiet, nicely appointed, has everything you need, very comfortable. Highly recommend checking it out if you're coming to Parksville !

The place is amazing! Beautiful and quiet. Everything as described. We were so happy that our dog was welcomed! Reg was a great host. We would love to go back!

Stunning place literally steps from the ocean. Clean, comfortable, the attention to detail in stocking the kitchen with all one needs to make a fabulous meal. Our only wish was a fire table on the deck. We loved our stay!

Pat's place is awesome. We, a family of four - two adults and two kids (one is at teen age and another one is younger), spent a great long weekend there. Bright, cozy condo with great view from almost any window. It fits all of us, has a nice kitchen with everything you need for your stay. Heated pool with a hot tub, which we and kids enjoyed, just downstairs. The Bay is very good for paddle boarding. We did twice over our stay. If tide is low, you can reach a tiny island where you can find lots of purple and orange sea stars, crabs, and oysters. Ladysmith and Nanaimo suggest great dinner options. Nanaimo also has a nice walkable Marina merging into Maffeo Sutton park. If you like hikes, we tried Extension Ridge Trail hike near Nanaimo and can strongly recommend it to anyone. Malahat Tower is a fun place to visit, just one hour of driving from "Inn of the Sea" resort, we've been there, and were not disappointed. Will definitely stay again at Pat's place.

Wonderful cottage just on the edge of Rathtrevor. We had friends camping in the park and we didn’t want to camp with a toddler so this was the perfect solution. Pet friendly, private, quiet. Cottage had everything you’d need. Host was very responsive and helpful. Had high chair, pack and play, baby gate. Would stay again!
