Hummingbird Oceanside Suites — Hotel in Bowen Island Municipality

My partner and I were looking to getaway for a couple days and where planning to head up to Whistler but were deterred by the crazy accommodation prices and long drive (we were visiting family in Surrey). We came across Hummingbird on Airbnb and opted to book a couple nights through their private website (better deal for you & keeps money local!). It was a great decision. The property is super easy to reach via the ferry and car. The rooms are large and comfortable with incredibly comfortable beds and pillows. We actually tried two rooms as we opted to move to a different room with a better view. And the view!! What can I say. I grew up on Gabriola Island so am used to amazing island views but Melissa & Dominic's spot is breathtaking. The property is very well maintained and thought out. Private and convenient. Sauna was outstanding. Let it warm up about 20mins and it will be perfect. We didn't get to try the hot tub but a must do next time. And there will be a next time. We also ran into Melissa and her family while we were there - very nice and accommodating. Great communication and very relaxed, low key people. They do live upstairs with their family so there is a bit of noise but not bothersome. All in all, highly recommend! I've already shared the contact details to family and friends. Much thanks for Melissa & Dominic...

We had the most incredible stay at Hummingbird Oceanside Suites! Dominic and Melissa are such warm and welcoming hosts, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Their hospitality and attention to detail truly set this place apart.

The location is absolutely stunning - secluded enough to feel like a peaceful retreat in nature but just a short walk or drive to the town center. We loved the best of both worlds: total privacy in a breathtaking setting while still being close to everything. The views are jaw-dropping, with eagles soaring overhead and ferries gliding through the water. Sitting on the deck, just soaking it all in, was an experience in itself.

The amenities made our stay so relaxing. The hot tub and sauna were perfect after a day of exploring, and we found ourselves looking forward to unwinding in them each evening. The room was beautifully appointed and incredibly comfortable - we slept so well on the cozy bed. The thoughtful touches, like locally sourced soaps and a little port wine to enjoy, made it feel extra special.

This was one of the best Airbnb stays we’ve ever had, and we absolutely cannot wait to return. If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway with incredible views, luxurious amenities, and fantastic hosts, this is the place. Highly,...

We loved our stay here. Michelle and Dominic were wonderful hosts. The room is small (like a hotel room) but the bed is comfy and it was very quiet and relaxing. We spent very little time in the room and made due with only a small microwave, toaster, and grill for meals (we ate a packed lunch on the trail or at a restaurant in town and made a small dinner of salad, bread, grilled shrimp in the PM). We saw hummingbirds, a deer, orcas (from a distance), and heard loons calling. We enjoyed the sauna in the AM and the hot tub after our hikes to soothe sore legs and feet. Yoga on the small deck, but bring bug spray because the mosquitoes can be fierce! The view from our room, the sauna, and hot tub was beautiful and worth every penny. It's very close to Snug Harbor and Dormans Point (walking distance). Short drive to everything else. We should have asked for more towels because they do not dry on the heated towel rack, but that's on us because I'm certain they would have provided me towels if asked. The garbage is so tiny, but Michelle will pick it up when it's full, just ask. Very steep driveway that I can imagine might be really scary in winter if there is freezing conditions. But for our trip, during a very pleasant sunny early fall season, it was totally fine. I would...
