I can be back there in a second. I close my eyes and I am sitting in a red chair, feeling the cool breath of the morning air and smell the clean scent of salty ocean.
Our 7 day stay at Eastman Waterfront Cottage was primarily to find the quiet embrace of nature. It did not disappoint. The cottage provided everything we needed including wonderfully comfortable beds, a full kitchen and a piece of heaven. We enjoyed morning walks in Crippen Park and then filled our days with reading, writing, painting and napping.
Every evening we sat watching the seals romp and play while the sun magically fell behind the mountains.
There is much that Bowen offers but this visit was about rest and rejuvenation.
All our hopes were met!

After a stressful year we wanted a quiet place to relax for a week with a gorgeous view. Eastman Cottage is an eclectic but classic vacation cottage with views to die for every morning! The wood burning stove in November was a welcome cozy touch. We brought extra wood with us to ensure we wouldn't run out. Very comfortable cottage, clean & thoughtfully equipped. Too chilly to sit out in November but no doubt wonderful in warmer weather. North-west aspect meant no full sun but plenty to enjoy from the large living room windows. Able to keep up with emails & work from dining room table with good wifi & those views!!

Such a cozy, comfortable retreat from the noise and bustle of city life! Very private, quiet, peaceful place - our only company was the seals and gulls on the rocky shoreline. Every detail has been attended to.

Cozy and cute with the most amazing view. Lovely flowers delivered each week and everything you could want for in a holiday home. Getting down to the water’s edge for a couple of older folks was a bit tricky, but we were happy to swim just down the road. Thank you Jan and Charles.

We had a great stay at the Eastman Waterfront Cottage.
It was located on a quiet and secluded part of Bowen Island. The waterfront views were amazing and made for a relaxing time away from the city. The cottage was well-stocked and clean. We enjoyed nearby Killarney Lake and the Mount Gardner hike.

Nice experience. Wish the weather would have been nicer but that didn’t take away from our relaxing getaway. Would recommend to friends. The only drawback was that there was no beach to access to water which we thought there was and walking down the back area of the property was slippery, uneven and dangerous. Only went out there once. That area could be improved. The tap water was delicious! A great place to take your fur family as well as long as you are a responsible pet owner. Property history was intriguing.

Saw Whales While Enjoying Morning Coffee!
Breathtaking views in a rustic, charming and remote home away from home. We recommend for anyone looking for adventure, romance and west coast scenery. We couldn't believe our eyes when we saw the pod of whales from the breakfast table!

My husband and I wanted a peaceful spot out of the city for a relaxing weekend. We couldn't have done better than The Eastman Cottage. It is cozy, clean and quiet with a spectacular view out across Howe Sound. We were visited by a bald eagle, numerous waterfowl and a seal. The cottage is adorable and has a wonderful story of the grandmother (?) of the current owner who is shown in a lovely photograph on that location with a book on a hammock. She was an accomplished painter, and her beautiful artwork and hand-decorated furniture adorn the cottage. It's all very homey, though, not "fancy" at all. Everything works very well. The kitchen is well-appointed (we were even able to sharpen the knife!), the beds are comfortable and there is good water pressure in the shower. Also, the tap water is delicious.
The communication from Jan was clear and thorough. We're already planning our next visit to Eastman Cottage.

December Getaway
This rental property is perfect. It was clean, well-appointed, and the views and setting were remarkable. Jan, the property manager, was responsive, professional, and very helpful. The highlight was seeing a sea lion swim by right out front. We can't wait to come back. Thank you for having us!

Of all the properties my husband and I have rented over the years, this cottage on Bowen Island is probably our favourite. The views of the water and mountains are stunning and we spent a good part of our time staring out the large living room windows. The cottage itself is cozy, charmingly decorated, full of great books on the shelf, and a very comfy couch where we sat and read. It rained part of the time we were there (as it does in November), but we had a nice fire going in the evenings and felt so happy and rested. Jan was a great communicator and gave us everything we needed to make our stay as smooth and relaxed as possible. We hope to return again soon. Just the loveliest spot.

The location of the Eastman is stellar. The view is outstanding and peaceful. The cottage itself is immaculate and beautifully appointed with original works of art. Bowan Island is a delight to explore and the cottage is close to the many trails and services. We can't wait to go back next year!

Lovely stay for our anniversary
We recently stayed here to celebrate our anniversary. The property is remote and the view is amazing. Everything was perfect and we even had some harbour seals visit us on the last morning. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a quiet getaway.

We just spent 5 days at this beautiful property on Bowen Island. The location is perfect. The views are magnificent. We feel rejuvenated having stayed here. We were hoping to be be able to go in for a swim off the property, however it did not seem safe to jump into the water from what looked like very jagged rocks, even with water shoes. We did find a beautiful pebbly beach nearby, where we were able to enjoy going in the water. Overall we had a great time. We enjoyed our dinners cooked in the small kitchen, and having drinks on the patio, watching the magical sunsets. We would definitely recommend this place to our friends and family.
Thank you Jan, and VRBO for a smooth experience in booking your cabin.

This property is exactly as advertised. We couldn't have been happier with our experience at the Eastman Cottage and we will most certainly be back. The neighbors were very friendly and welcoming as was the view from our porch every morning. The kitched was well stocked so all we needed was a little food and everything else was there. Wonderful, cozy and scenic. I can't say enough!!!

We had a very nice weekend away at Jan’s cabin. The location was perfect, overlooking the ocean and it feels very secluded (despite a few other properties nearby). Grilling on the deck was great too!
Overall, I would highly recommend staying here - Bowen Island is wonderful!
