Wonderful House

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.

Beautiful Salt Spring Island stay

We visited Salt Spring for a wedding. Brad and Rhonda’s property and home is beautiful. The decks have amazing views and the house is bright and spacious. The king and queen beds were super comfortable and the house was stocked with everything you could need. Brad and Rhonda were very helpful with advice and there if we needed anything. It was a wonderful stay!

Fabulous vacation

My sister and I had a wonderful time on Saltspring Island and Brad and Rhonda‘s home was perfect! We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. From coffee in the morning on their deck looking at the amazing view to the most comfortable beds. Everything was so luxurious and at the same time so comfortable. It was a bit chilly on one of our evenings and Rhonda came up and made a fire for us. I would highly recommend their beautiful home and will definitely stay there again!

This property is nicer then it shows if that's possible. The owners were very thoughtful. They knew we were coming for a funeral and the flowers and greeting card they left held a very sweet message. Would highly recommend this place to anyone. My adult children loved it too!

Can't recommend enough!

The only thing better than the amazing location on a hillside overlooking the sea, is the hospitality of the owners. Brad and Rhonda are incredibly thoughtful, and made sure that every aspect of the guest experience was taken care of. The house is even better than it looks in photos. It's cozy and extremely clean. Although it is situated in a quiet, rural location, it's a less than 10 min drive to town (Ganges). I recommend staying here without reservations. We hope to come back for another stay!

Casual Luxury

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.

Fabulous

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 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!

Perfect getaway

The house was very nice and the views are hard to beat. It’s a great location for a quiet and peaceful trip. Very clean and the hosts thought of every little detail - from an organized kitchen that was fully stocked with all the staples, to a wood fire place with kindling and firewood, to a towel heating rack in the bathroom. The hosts, Brad and Rhonda, were very friendly, accommodating and very easy to communicate with. Highly recommend and would return again soon!

About the host

Hosted by Brad Paul

Host profile image
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.
