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

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!

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.

Girls getaway

The location of the property is perfect, easy to find from the Crofton-Vesuvius ferry terminal. The house is bright and airy, with wonderful views, sunsets from the deck and living room plus easy beach access. The kitchen was fully outfitted and had everything we needed to cook breakfasts and one dinner. It was a great base for all our exploring, we could have used another day on the Island. There was only one thing to critique that wasnt a 5 star and that was the basement. We arrived on a cool, rainy day and found watching tv downstairs was cold, the thermostat didnt seem to work. Which also left the room a bit musty smelling. Otherwise a fun vacation away from Parksville.

Family getaway first time visit to Salt Spring

A beautiful property, incredibly groomed, with awesome views of the sea and incredible sunsets. An awesome kitchen, comfortable bedrooms/bathrooms and urban coastal decorating feel throughout. Nice sunroom and great outdoor patio space.and loved the outdoor fire pit. The weather was amazing and the wildlife around and about while we were there an added bonus! Close to the ferry and great location to explore the local area. We would absolutely return. Loved it.

House is well designed with all conveniences you will ever need. Only suggestions are that the number on gate be more noticeable and we missed not having Kleenex. As these are only minor observations you can see that the house is close to perfect!! Stay here - you will not be disappointed.

A gem by the sea

We found the cottage wonderful, perfect for our needs, very well renovated and appointed. The kitchen had everything one could need,.. everything was esthetically pleasing. It is a good place for a couple, or someone with one or two young children. Not for two couples, as there is only one bathroom upstairs, and the down stairs bedroom with small bathroom still needs to undergo a full renovation. The lower floor is dark and poky. We are looking forward to returning when the weather is better.

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!
