Oceanfront Villa

DonnaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Lovely home. Sparkling clean. Excellent stocked kitchen. We all loved the espresso machine with beans provided. The heated deck and comfortable furniture was the best feature. We also loved the view and all the birds. The area around the house is not walkable though. It sits on a very busy road with no sidewalk. We couldn't walk our grandson around in his stroller. All in all a good home. Would book again. 😉

QuinaRating, 5 stars7 months ago
We had a beautiful stay at Sandra’s gorgeous home! She was such a lovely, communicative host who gave us all sorts of great suggestions for the area. The location is perfect- relaxing and quiet, but not too far from fun activities! We’d definitely stay again, thanks so much for having us, Sandra!

We had a great stay! We were very comfortable and felt at home during our short 2 day stay. It was on a nice quiet street so we had great sleeps. Not a single complaint at all and would stay again for sure!

The Cottage: Chef's Kitchen, Bay View, EV Charger

DmitryRating, 5 stars7 months ago
This house will make your trip to San Juan even more memorable. Barbara’s attention to detail amazed us, we kept discovering little things around the house, like a tray with games, additional blankets and pillows to stay cozy in the living room, flashlights in the nightstands to find your way around at night (it’s actually not needed since Barbara thought about motion lights around the house). If you want to feel being taken care of, Barbara’s place is highly recommended!

Stylish Modern Country Retreat

DanielRating, 5 stars6 months ago
David's place is as amazing as it looks. You'll never find a better equipped kitchen. Beds and furniture very comfortable. Just a beautiful piece of property and house. And David is also a very understanding host that realizes that during a long stay, little things are gonna come up or get slightly beat up (especially when you travel with kids and dogs) despite everyone's best efforts and intentions! We hope to return some day to a wonderful spot on this magical island!

Glamping, Forest, HotTub, Firepit, Fast wifi, TVs

AlannahRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We enjoyed staying at Steven's for two nights. The glamping RV space had us set up for a peaceful spring weekend, as we enjoyed hiking in the North Cowichan area and visiting the fascinating Hand of Man Museum nearby. We also got to use the bbq grill and the hot tub. Steven was attentive to any questions we had. We also got to meet his two beautiful birds. This was a great and fun place to stay tucked away in nature!

West House 3 bedroom home shawnigan lake hot tub

RebeccaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
What a slice of heaven! It was even better than the pictures! We thoroughly enjoyed 2 nights here (wishing it was longer) with our 18&21 year olds. There was plenty of space for us to gather as a fam or find a chill out spot alone. Allison and Sean were great with communication and giving advice for good hiking trails too! We would love to one day return!

Your guide to Salt Spring Island

All About Salt Spring Island

Located between mainland British Columbia and Vancouver Island, Salt Spring Island boasts freshwater lakes and secluded beaches perfect for kayaking and swimming. Beddis Beach is a white crushed-shell beach known for its fertile tide pools, while Vesuvius Beach has the warmest waters on the island and plenty of deer, ospreys, herons, and kingfishers to spot. Cusheon Lake and Stowell Lake both have small beaches and calm waters that are suitable for swimming. There are also parks full of natural beauty to explore, including Mount Maxwell Provincial Park, characterized by its stands of old-growth Douglas fir and Garry oak meadows.

There are several nice seaside villages to visit on Salt Spring Island. The largest is Ganges, where you’ll find many restaurants and pubs, independent shops, and a thriving arts community. To get a sense of the island’s arts scene take the self-guided studio tour, which includes 21 art studios, some offering workshops and demonstrations. Many artists also showcase their work at the popular Saturday Market, which runs from April till October.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Salt Spring Island

Salt Spring Island has a wide range of vacation rentals, including houses and cabins. In spring, expect pleasant days and some rain, and in fall you can enjoy the changing colours of the landscape. Summer sees warm sunny days ideal for enjoying the island’s beaches and hiking trails. From April to October, look out for the weekly Saturday Market, where all products are made, baked, or grown by the vendors. In September, the Apple Festival is a fun event with live music, apple tastings, and even a workshop to create apple-inspired art. Winter is quieter on the island, but equally rewarding for those that love relaxing in a cabin with an open fire while watching the weather pass.


Top things to do in Salt Spring Island

Ruckle Provincial Park

Ruckle Provincial Park offers 15 kilometers of easy hiking trails that take you through forests and along the coast, offering fantastic views. The popular Yeo Point Hike is 4.5-kilometers and leads you along a coastal trail through hemlock and cedar forest before arriving at the beach at Yeo Point. You may see grouse on your journey, and sometimes you can spot orcas out at sea. Look up for majestic bald eagles flying overhead.

Ganges

Spend a few hours wandering around the island’s largest village, with its interesting shops, coffee houses, restaurants, and pubs. There are also dozens of art galleries to explore, mostly run by the local artists and makers. Down by the harbor, witness the impressive sight of sea planes flying in and out and see the fleet of yachts and boats. In the heart of the village, Centennial Park offers a relaxing stroll.

Kayaking

Jump in a kayak and explore as much of the island’s 130 kilometers of shoreline as you can. Paddling out in the water is one of the best ways to spot the local marine life that lives off Salt Spring Island, including seals. You can rent a kayak in Ganges and take a self-guided tour, or there are several organised tours such as a sunset paddle to the beautiful Chocolate Beach, one of the tiny islands scattered around Ganges Harbour.
