More shopping, country markets, organic eggs and meats, restaurants and pubs are just down the road.
Bowser Beach House is a wonderful base for a golfing vacation. There are several top class courses within a few minutes' drive of the house.

Review Score:   10
Summary: The owners had everything well stocked. Bed very comfortable. Best appliances of any prior VRBO rental. Reasonably close to the places we love. Thought it closer to Qualicum Beach hence the four stars on location. Managed communicated adequately.
