Nice 2 bedroom condo overlooking the bay. Ferry service within walking distance. The guest bedroom could use lamps and both bedrooms need a dresser. However, the unit is nice, clean and in a great location.

Stay ruined by additional charge.

The unit and the stay was great. Some words of caution: It is an older building and the units are on septic so that can be an issue if the lines are not kept up and it is a rental where the fixtures are used a lot and that can also be an issue with loose hinges and what not so be aware. The extra charge is not worth it. Not only is it a challenge to contact a VRBO representative, they do not follow through. It is a great location if you need a place to stay in Vesuvius Bay that is close to the ferry and the beach. There is a restaurant across the street which is ok.

Comfortable accommodation steps to the beach

We love staying at this end of Salt Spring and were really happy to be able to rent a 2 bedroom unit in this development again and show off the island to our Ontario friends. Unit is perfectly set up for for two couples, and everything is as listed by the host and in good working order. Very nice to have our own barbeque on the rear breezeway! And of course, you can't beat the sunsets.

Cousins vacation

The location is good, the unit clean and comfortable with lots of amenities. We enjoyed the view which included a visit from a fawn on the front yard. The pretty flower boxes on the balcony are a pleasant addition. We loved the beautiful island and all that it offered. The slow pace gave us the respite we needed. We just happened to come during a heat warning. The fans provided were inadequate to cool the place down. Air-conditioning would definitely push it from nice to excellent. It would have been nice to just put the final dishes in the dishwasher and running it without having to put them back in the cupboards. Over-all a wonderful stay, Thank you, Elena!

Elena’s place was clean and well maintained, and had everything we needed. The setting was peaceful, relaxing and quiet other than a bit of traffic while the ferry unloaded. The nearby beach was enjoyed for swimming with the summer heat and sunsets. Wished we could have stayed longer.

Welcome Retreat

This was a delightful condo that was right on point with what was advertised. My husband, daughter and her fiancé spent three wonderful nights here. We had a beautiful view of the ocean, a wonderful balcony with flowers, and plenty of privacy. The bedrooms and baths are nicely situated. We were just minutes from shops and cafes. Elena, our host, made contact with us early and made sure everything was in order. This property is so well kept and clean. It has all the necessary kitchen equipment you will need. The beds were comfy and linens were immaculate. This is an ideal place to stay. We plan to make another visit this year. Thanks again to our wonderful host!
