About the host
Hosted by Brad Paul
I have been a Salt Springer for 25+ years. Rhonda and I spend our downtime kitesurfing. We enjoy being able to offer the main portion of the house with others wanting to explore Salt Spring Island. It is rewarding to meet our guests from near and far, offering our home as a quiet, relaxing retreat.
Why they chose this property
Over the years, I have lived in a few different places on the island, including a neighboring house near this one. The view here, combined with how much sun this location receives, is why I chose this location.
What makes this property unique
This west coast cedar home was creatively designed to suit the property's topography, beautiful ocean view and sunny southwest exposure. The house has 3 levels which cascade down the hill landscape to capture the sunshine and the view! Just under an acre, the location is private and quietly surrounded by nature in one of the few year-round sunny locations on Salt Spring Island. We very much enjoy our location here and hope our guests will too.
