Are you still in love with the 2007 Chiefs roster? Have a Dwayne Bowe tattoo? We’ve got the perfect vacation destination for you: Bowe Island.
It’s not hard to find a story of a professional football player who ended up broke, having spent all of his money on memorable nights out, parties with friends and lavish vacations. Former Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver is making sure his considerable monies are still working for him. In fact, he’s made some of his assets available to you, dear Chiefs fan, to serve as an investment for himself.
The beauty of the digital age is that nearly any of us can turn our personal living spaces into potential rental properties, and Bowe is taking advantage of sites like Airbnb to give you (or others with thousands of dollars to burn) the chance to stay at Bowe Island.

Yes, Bowe Island!
Now, look, it’s not exactly an island (in any way, shape or form, really), but the property itself is beautiful. I am pretty sure yours truly has never stayed in a place this nice before (of course, that doesn’t mean much here), but you should check out the listing for yourself.
At $3,500 per night, the price might seem steep for Bowe Island, but the listing says the house can accommodate 12 people on site, which means if you had a large group of friends, you could all split the cost to make things more affordable. Imagine a long friends weekend at Bowe Island and how much fun you would have. The best highlights:
- Beautiful outdoor entertaining space with full-size basketball court, volleyball court, and pool table.
- A very cool swimming pool with its own “dry area”: literally an outdoor table and chairs inside the pool in case you don’t want to use the tables and chairs outside the pool!
- There’s a whole kids loft/game area with a plastic ball pit, air hockey, arcade games and more.
- “Infinity Hot Tub.” Yes.
- Spa room and dry sauna. Amazing.
- A glowing sign reading BOWE ISLAND!
Per Spotrac, Bowe is estimated to have made just over $54 million in career earnings from the Chiefs and Cleveland Browns. That’s plenty of money to work with to acquire an impressive property like this.
Bowe, a 2010 Pro Bowl wideout, played in Kansas City for 8 seasons and finished with 532 receptions, 7,155 receiving yards and 44 touchdowns in his Chiefs tenure. He led the NFL in receiving touchdowns with 15 in 2010.
