Great condo for a Saltspring vacation. It was quiet and had a great view from the balcony. Though shopping is on the "other"side of the island, it still only takes minutes to get to downtown Ganges.
The condo was wonderful. It had everything we needed to be relaxed and comfortable. Elena was great. When we had a wifi glitch, she relied immediately with timely and helpful information. The location is excellent, with great ocean views.

It was a beautiful space with gorgeous view. Everything as very clean and well maintained. Elena our host was easy to access and answered our questions promptly- much appreciated. Extremely convenient for early morning ferry departure. We loved it and would happily stay again
We’ve stayed here before because we love it so much. Great location in a beautiful part of SSI, close to the best beach on the island. Beautiful clean condo, with lots of light and lovely patio. Elena the owner is great. We’ve already booked it again for next summer.
Great location, especially if you plan to take the ferry to Crofton after your stay.The condo has a great layout and everything you need. Beds are very comfortable.Communication was quick and efficient.I would highly recommend.
We had a wonderful stay at Elena's condo. The unit has been outfitted with modern, high quality kitchen utensils, pots and pans, etc. Comfortable beds too!! Everything we needed was there - and more!
Very nice property to stay, very clean and spacious wiht a well-equipped kitchen. Location was great, also check-in and communication were very easy. Would definitely come back!
The place is clean and close to the beach, with amazing sunset views. We stayed as four adults for a wedding nearby and found it was spacious enough that everyone was comfortable. Would book again!
Traveling with friends from Alberta to Vancouver island and back again.We loved our stay here and had pretty much everything we needed. Accomodations were clean and the kitchen was well stocked. If you are staying more than one night you'll have to bring your own kitchen garbage bags as these are not provided.
Great place and very clean. Two full bathrooms and nice kitchen. Lovely balcony. Lovely wisteria in parking areas. Bit of ferry traffic noise in front bedroom.
Just off the ferry in Vesuvius Bay, nice beach close by and short trip to Ganges. Quiet neighborhood, condo had everything we needed. Condo was clean and comfortable.
