Situated in Dorman Bay, our waterfront property is a fabulous location with incredible and expansive views to the North, East and South.

There’s no better place to enjoy a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine to soak in the views! We’re often frequented by eagles, deer & if you're lucky whales!

We’re only a 5 minute drive from Snug Cove (ferry, restaurants, shops), 15 minute walk to Dorman Point, and 10 minute walk to September Morn Beach.

We have two dwellings on the property: the cabin and the main house.

The cabin is 1,000 sq.ft. with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, living room with sofa bed, full kitchen, large patio, and private hot tub. Sleeps 4 adults and 2 kids.

As you walk into the cabin, you're greeted with an open concept living space (kitchen, dining room, living room). The kitchen and dining room are fully equipped with a 6-seater dining table, 4 bar stools, stove, oven, microwave, fridge, dishwasher, Keurig coffee machine, kettle, toaster, blender, dishes and utensils. The living room has a sofa bed with a queen mattress pull-out, as well as a love seat and flat screen TV. There is access to high speed wi-fi and Netflix. The open concept living space has eclipse sliding doors to the patio where you'll find a BBQ and lounge furniture to enjoy the view.

As you continue though the cabin, you'll see the bedrooms and bathrooms. The master bedroom has a king bed and ensuite bathroom with a rain shower. The second bedroom has a queen bed and the second bathroom has a bath tub with a rain shower. There is also a dryer and washer available beside the second bathroom.

Last, but not least, the private hot tub! This hot tub will be private for your use during your stay, no other guests will be using it. It accommodates 4-6 people and is a great place to watch the sunset!

Please note:
1. No pets allowed on our property.
2. No smoking anywhere on our property.
3. Our driveway is very steep and cemented all the way down. There are two parking spots at the cabin, but if you prefer, we have a gravel parking pad at the road, 100m past our driveway entrance. *During the winter season, we recommend parking at the road if the driveway or the conditions during your stay are icy and/or covered in snow.*

About our other accommodations and shared spaces:

The main house accommodates 4 private suites (Cypress Mountain Suite, Mount Strachan Suite, St. Mark’s Summit Suite, and David Peak Suite). Search each suite name for its listings and availability.

The suites range between 200 sq.ft to 250 sq.ft. Each suite has its own private exterior entrance, king/queen bed, private bathroom with rain shower, heated bathroom floor & heated towel rack, flat screen TV, dining area, and kitchenette. The suites have access to three outdoor lounge areas, a shared hot tub, a shared wood barrel sauna, a lawn games field and a staircase to the ocean. All suites have access to high speed wi-fi and Netflix.

There is a wood barrel sauna and outdoor shower down by the main house, which is shared between all the property guests.

The property offers a lawn games field (cornhole, bocce, and spike ball) with a communal BBQ above the main house parking lot for all guests to use and enjoy.

There is access to the ocean (no beach) using our wooden stairs down by the main house. Please use caution and use at your own risk. You can use the stairs between sunrise and sunset. If you plan on going swimming, the currents are very strong in our bay, so we recommend using life jackets.

There is a communal fire pit area above the lawn games field. This contained fire pit can be used by all property guests and each guest must provide their own firewood, kindling and lighter. You can bring your own wood or the General Store in Snug Cove sells firewood bundles. Use at your own risk, never leave your fire unattended, put out your fire when finished, and no fires during fire ban season.

Security Disclosure - Since we have 5 rentals on our property, we have four security cameras - all outdoors. One faces our driveway entrance gate, one faces down the driveway and the lawn games field, one faces our main house parking area, and one faces the oceanside shared lounge areas. They will be on during your stay.

Our family lives in the main house year-round and we look forward to meeting you!

A lovely weekend getaway

The property was beautiful, well appointed and the location was fantastic. We walked into town twice during the weekend. The hosts were fabulous and left a thoughtful welcome for us. We would love to visit the property again in the summer to make use of the amazing outdoor spaces even more, the view was incredible! Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Wonderful Stay

This is a beautiful place. Our hosts were extremely accommodating, the modern cabin is perfectly equipped with everything you could need for a comfortable stay. As previous guests have commented, one cannot say enough about the view from the front windows- it is stunning, even on a cloudy day. Thank you so much Mel and Dom. We’ll see you again!

What an amazing property!!!

I stayed with my adult daughter and we absolutely loved it! The owner, was very prompt and professional while answering my enquires. The property is totally amazing! The views are breath-taking.. My only negative comment would be that they are on a very big hill (which they are up front about) and it was kind of hard to park the car and walk up the hill after using their beautiful hot tub and sauna. The views from the communal hot tub and sauna again were stunning! The cabin was immaculate. thank you for the most amazing stay.

Modern Cabin

The property is exactly as described, modern and exceptionally clean. It was perfect for 2 couples. Dom and Melissa left us to enjoy the cabin but were quick to respond when we required more coffee. They even provided us with a delicious bottle of red wine which we enjoyed with our steak that we BBQ’d on the deck. Our only complaint was the weather which was horrible but beyond anyones control. We will return when hopefully we can really explore Bowen Island without getting soaked.

Fantastic view, great location, easy check-in and communication

The view is breathtaking, having morning coffee or evening glass of wine and watching changing colors of ocean water and mountain views as the sun is raising or setting down - so beautiful! The location worked great for us - just few minutes drive to the restaurants, shops, beaches (Cates beach is our favorite!), Killarney lake. The property is exactly as it is presented on photos and described, super clean, and had all we needed. Would definitely consider this place for our next visits to Bowen Island.

Melissa and Dom's place was literally the nicest rental property I've ever stayed at. It still looks and smells brand new. Great views of the bay and great communication between Melissa and myself. I definitely have this place at the top of my list if I'm ever back in Bowen Island!

About the host

Hosted by Melissa Griffin

Host profile image
Hi! My name is Melissa and I live on Bowen Island, Canada. I love to travel, hike, and enjoy the outdoors.

My husband, Dominic, and I moved to Bowen Island in November 2020. We both work on the island and look forward to meeting you!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this property and Bowen Island in the summer of 2020 and then subsequently purchased the bare land lot in November 2020. Shortly after in March 2021, we started building the main house and the cabin simultaneously. In December 2021, my husband and I were able to move into the main house, and in February/March 2022 we slowly opened up the suites for guests. The cabin was ready by June 2022.

What makes this property unique

Situated in Dorman Bay, our waterfront property is a fabulous location with incredible and expansive views to the North, East and South.

We’re only a 5 minute drive from Snug Cove (ferry, restaurants, shops), 15 minute walk to Dorman Point, and 10 minute walk to September Morn Beach.

We have two dwellings on the property: the main house and the cabin.

The main house accommodates 4 private suites: Cypress Mountain Suite, St. Mark's Summit Suite, Mount Strachan Suite, and David Peak Suite.

The suites range between 200 sq.ft to 250 sq.ft. Each suite has its own private exterior entrance, king/queen bed, private bathroom with rain shower, heated bathroom floor & heated towel rack, flat screen TV, dining area, and kitchenette. The suites have access to three outdoor lounge areas, a shared hot tub, a shared wood barrel sauna, a lawn games field and a staircase to the ocean. All suites have access to high speed wi-fi and Netflix.

The Modern Cabin is a completely separate dwelling around 1,000 sq.ft. with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, living room with a sofa bed, full kitchen, large patio, and private hot tub. Sleeps 4 adults and 2 kids.

There is a wood barrel sauna down by the main house, which is shared between all the property guests.

The property offers a lawn games field (cornhole, bocce, and spike ball) above the main house parking lot for all guests to use and enjoy.

There is access to the ocean (no beach) using our newly built wooden stairs down by the main house. Please use caution and use at your own risk. You can use the stairs between sunrise and sunset. If you plan on going swimming, the currents are very strong in our bay, so we recommend using life jackets.
