Salt Spring Island is the largest of the BC Gulf Islands, between Vancouver (on the mainland) and Victoria (Vancouver Island). It is served by the BC Ferry system, from both Vancouver and Victoria, with regular and frequent sailings. Saltspring has one sizeable village, Ganges, with all of the conveniences of a town serving a population of 10,000 (winter) to 15,000 (summer). Ganges is a 15 minute drive from the property. There are artists, potters, craftsmen and local artisans, with sites and galleries to visit around the island. The climate is the most hospitable in BC. Outdoor activities can be enjoyed year round. From May to October the town of Ganges hosts a weekly Saturday outdoor market where you can buy farm-fresh vegetables, island-made cheeses, herbs, homemade baked goods, as well as arts and crafts.
This is a modern, spacious three bedroom, two story 2300 square foot home. The bedrooms are furnished with a queen size bed, a double bed and a double plus twin bunks. The kitchen is fully equipped with oven, ceramic cooktop stove, fridge, dishwasher, microwave, washer/dryer. The living room has sound system, TV/VCR/DVD, and fireplace. The family room has a fireplace, computer desk with printer (ready for your laptop) with high speed internet (wifi) and pool table. It is situated to take full advantage of the spectacular ocean view from all rooms except one bedroom. There are two large decks, equipped with patio furniture and barbecue. The property is 8/10ths of an acre, on the water, with access to the beach by a short staircase right in front of the house. Use the canoe, rowboat, walk for miles along the beach, ride the bicycles or relax on the decks and enjoy the view.

First of all let us say thank you! We have had a wonderful time getting to know your beautiful island! We especially enjoyed kayaking to Wallace Island where we saw seals and eagles and herons and kingfishers. We loved the Saturday market in Ganges and we appreciated the relaxed pace of life. Ruckle Park was amazing and we spent many happy hours reading and writing and playing scrabble there. Thank you also for letting us enjoy all this from the home base of your beautiful and comfortable home. We left it in sparkling clean condition just as we found it and we hope to return again.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

This family of landlubbers traveled from Kansas to enjoy a visit to the beautiful Pacific northwest. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the rental home. We found everything we needed, and made use of the bikes, canoe/kayak, nets, videos, grill, and pool table. Getting the canoe and kayak down to the water and back was a bit of a chore, but worth the effort. The day trip to Wallace Island was awesome. A highlight for my kids was a car/ferry trip to Wildplay in Nainamo - for a zipline and aerial ropes course. The house was clean and had plenty of space. We loved it. Thanks.Recommended for: Sightseeing, girls getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, families with teenagers.

We have spent a most wonderful month here, in glorious weather watching spring turn to summer. The birds, flowers and marine life have provided endless interest and entertainment, particularly the hummingbirds squabbling over the feeder. Highlights have been kayaking to Wallace Island and a dawn expedition to Jack Screw Island. The house accommodation and location are superb. We feel privileged to have had the opportunity to experience all this.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Paradise redefined! Saltspring Island is all so enjoyable however the view from the kitchen table was the best. Deer, otters, American Eagle, osprey, herons, a visiting seal, calling quail, hummingbirds and so much more. We sat in the kitchen watching the daily routine of the water passage and having great dialogue both about family and our incredible fortune to be here. From early morning to late in the evening all was enjoyable. Ah, the bed - sooo comfortable, thank for the complete thoughtfulness of interim dwellers and their needs.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0
