Charming beach front cottage

The kitchen was well equipped for foodies who like to cook. The cottage was beautiful and nicely decorated. It had a Zen beach vibe and is an amazing beach front property. I would definitely go back.

Amazing!

We had a wonderful time staying at this quiet, private, relaxing property! The home is amazing and great for a family with teenagers/kids. The views of the ocean and wildlife are beautiful and we loved spending time exploring the beach. It is tucked away in quiet Vesuvius but close to Ganges for any shopping you need to do. We would highly recommend it and would love to stay here again!

Beautiful relaxing getaway home

The home was beautiful! It had everything we needed including a high chair and playpen. The views of the ocean are spectacular and the home is beautifully decorated and laid out for relaxing. Relaxing. The proximity to the beach and the spacious grounds were great also. I will stay here again when I'm Salt Spring.grounds

Why stay anywhere else

The place is right on the beach, so much space to sit and relax either looking out at the ocean or sitting around the kitchen bar. We had four adults and it was relaxing every time we came back from being out. We particularly liked the reading bench in front of the big window. The place was clean, Darcy was available if we needed. Would stay here again if we ever come back to the island.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
For many years, my husband and I took our four sons every summer on vacations that involved water, so that we could all enjoy swimming, boating, water skiing and tubing. Our good friends bought this Salt Spring Island home and we rented the home from them for 9 years. Then, it came up for sale and we bought it without hesitation!

Why they chose this property

The ocean views are spectacular and the sunsets divine. The half acre, flat property with low bank to the ocean feels spacious and private. Perfect for entertaining (or not). Tastefully decorated. The kitchen and bathrooms have been beautifully renovated. A wonderful place to relax and recharge!
