    Stayed over the May long weekend. The Hosts were wonderful and accommodating. The communication with the hosts during our stay was easy and they responded quickly to any of our questions. The check-in/check-out process is great.The house is really lovely. It is a good size and It has all the kitchen items you need to make meals. The beds are comfy and the loft bed is pretty cool! There is a great view from the balcony on a sunny day. It is in a very quiet area, great for peaceful getaways. I would absolutely stay here again, next time I visit Salt Spring.

    This house was fabulous. A beautiful view of the ocean and Vancouver island from the house and deck. Everything was super clean and in good shape. Two newly remodeled bathrooms were absolutely stunning. The kitchen had everything we needed and we cooked most all our meals there. On our visit we were two couples and the house is nicely set up for that. The deck had lots of comfortable chairs and two tables. We hiked down to the ocean from the house as well as lots of island hikes. The hosts were super nice and responsive. Every window in the house was sparkling clean. Quick drive into town. I would plan to come back for sure.

    This was our first VRBO. We normally stay at hotels/resorts. Our experience with this rental was wonderful. Perfect for a relaxing time on Salt Spring Island. The house has a million dollar view and takes full advantage of it from almost every room. Add to that a large deck to enjoy a morning read with coffee or a before dinner glass of wine. This house surpassed our expectations and made a visit to Salt Spring Island one of our best times.

    This home was perfect place to relax after our days of kayaking and sailing. We were a short drive to the market and restaurants but still felt like we had the quiet of the countryside. The best part of this home is the deck adjacent to the living room. The sunset views were beautiful!
