Lovely Retreat!We had a delightful 4-night stay at Huy and Ramona’s little blue and white cottage! The location was ideal—close to town by car yet in a tranquil, private setting, surrounded by tall trees and nature. The immaculately kept cottage is well laid out with a good size living area and two well appointed bedrooms. We appreciated having a desk/chair available for laptop use. The bedroom blinds were an effective blackout option, along with comfortable mattresses and good general lighting and reading lamps. The cozy bathroom provides the necessary basics, with good shower pressure and the thoughtful touch of natural shampoo, conditioner. and body wash. We felt like we were on a retreat, yet the owners were close by if needed. Huy greeted us in person which was a lovely gesture. The cottage and owners represent all the best of what Salt Spring Island has to offer!

Our first impression was that the property was bright and inviting. Unfortunately there were some downsides after we got settled. It’s on a busy road so the ferry traffic wasan early morning issue in the front bedroom.I know there is nothing that can be done about this but it is a thing. Also the living room is not very comfortable. It needs abetter sofa and an easy chair or two. But the most unsettling thing were the ants in the bathroom at night. Big ants. Crawling everywhere. We wouldn’t be inclined to stay again.

Cottage oasis

This was a beautiful and quaint little cottage that suited our needs for a lovely 3 nights on Salt Spring. The decor made it feel like you were at the beach and we were able to enjoy and relax while being there. The host kindly greeted us at our arrival and made us feel very welcomed with offerings with answers to any questions we had. Not too far from Ganges, so close to lots of amenities. However, we did enjoy sitting on the deck and in the chairs in the yard reading and listening to the birds. You won’t be disappointed with this place!

The place was very cute and clean. A few things prevented us from rating this higher: the bathroom sink drained very slowly; the bathroom was overall very small; we had to kill a few ants each day despite the ant trap; there were spider webs around the head of the bed; and the shower curtain was stained.
