Even better than we'd remembered.

We originally visited Seagates two years ago and were a little bit nervous about returning - it had been so good last time that we were prepared for some disappointment. No need to have worried though because, if anything, the house does seem to have undergone some minor upgrades and improvements. A fabulous location, a beautifully presented property, extremely well equipped and so welcoming. We did experience a minor issue with the washing machine but this was quickly and very helpfully resolved with a single phone call. As on our previous visit we found the kayaks to be a huge benefit and, after ten blissful days, we were loathe to tear ourselves away from what has become our favourite spot in Canada. We hope to return on our next visit.

About the host

Your host

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!
