Thank you so much for the stay. The house was amazing and being right by the beach is great! We got enjoyment out of your movies and the place was peaceful. We are sad to leave, but enjoyed the morning sun. Thank you again for the stay!

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.

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.

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.

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.
