The accommodation was spotlessly clean, comfortable and the kitchen was very well equipped. We would definitely consider staying here again if our travels take us back to Salt Spring. A car is necessary though, as it’s about a 10 minute drive to Ganges.

Comfortable, clean beautifully decorated condo in a quiet location with amazing view of water from balcony. Perfect for a ladies long weekend. Well appointed with everything we could have needed including good coffee and perfect selection of teas. Elena is a delightful host!

We had a great time staying at the apartment in Vesuvius. The check in process was very straightforward and the apartment has everything you need. The location is great and it gives easy access to explore the rest of the island. There was some noise from the ferry terminal construction work through the first night we stayed, which was quite loud but was, of course, no fault of the owner. All in all, I would love to return and spend more time here.

Elena’s was a perfect place for my family and I to stay on the island. It was nice and spacious and very comfortable. The convenience of the ferry to our next destination was wonderful too. We look forward to staying for a longer period to fully utilize the kitchen and elements of her place next time!

The property was clean and comfortable with lots of room in the kitchen living room area. Furniture was modern and comfortable. Beds were very comfortable. Location in the middle of the island about 10 minutes drive from Ganges was ideal.

Lovely property away from the action of Ganges. Nice unit, property cared with everything you need for a relaxing getaway. Coffee and tea are provided and unit has most cooking utensils (pots/pans) you need to make a meal. There is also a bbq if you desire to do some grilling. Would definitely stay again.

Our place was perfect and super clean! There was lots of beautiful light from all the windows with a nice view of the ocean and a great patio to sit out on. It is as very quiet and peaceful here. We were within walking distance of one of the best beaches on the island…with calm, warm ocean water to paddle board or kayak on. There’s a great seafood restaurant with a patio over the water… just a 4 minute walk up the street. Everything is within a small easy to do distance on this island but our condo location was removed enough from the main town of Ganges etc. that we still felt very secluded and out in nature. Our contact person was always available to answer questions and was very good about giving us updates. We would definitely stay here again and of course we love Salt Spring Island and will return again…as has been our custom for many years.

I was surprised at just how large this condo was. And quiet. Despite it being a long weekend the ferry traffic did not cause any problems accessing the property. Although we did not take advantage of the easy access to Vancouver Island it certainly was a plus. The suite itself was well supplied, very clean, and despite the heat stayed fairly cool. It was nice to have a fan. Also a real bonus to have 2 bathrooms and washer and dryer. Communication with the host was excellent. Thank you Elena.

We really enjoyed our 9 day stay at the Vesuvius Condo. We have stayed previously at other condos in the Vesuvius complex, so we already knew that the layout and location were superb. This condo had everything you would need in the kitchen to prepare meals along with a BBQ that worked very well and was super clean. A Brita water filter container in the refrigerator was a pleasant surprise. The bedrooms had ceiling fans which helped on the warm nights along with fully screened windows, which not all places have. The beds were very comfortable and the bedding sheets and pillows were first rate, which is highly unusual for short term rentals in this price range. Also, having a washing machine and dryer really helps when you are staying over a week. Both machines were very clean and efficient. The views of the water were always nice, especially while eating meals on the patio. Strolling around the neighborhood and to the ferry docks after dinner was always pleasant for us. The Vesuvius property itself has not been up kept as nicely as in the past, but I hear there is a change in property management, so hopefully that will change. Our communication with the owner of the condo Elena was very prompt and informative. She cares deeply about her condo and it shows in how it is maintained.

The villa was perfect! We enjoyed the quiet seclusion we felt as we looked at the water view. Although Vesuvius is further away from the main town of Ganges, there are some enjoyable beach and trail hikes close by, even a good dinner restaurant - Seaside. We had everything we needed in the kitchen for eating breakfast before beginning our explorations of the island. We also recommend the Tree House Cafe and Moby’s Pub for interesting dining.

Elena's space was an awesome retreat following a "tourist's" visit to the Ganges area The distance to the activity of the island - it's beautiful shops, wonderful food and inspiring art galleries - was just right. Elena is wonderful with giving detailed explanations and expectations for the homestay so there are no unexpected surprises, I definitely hope to return!

We (2 couples) had a great stay at Elena’s place. The apartment unit was well maintained and clean. The kitchen was fully equipped and we were able to make breakfast with ease. The beds were comfortable and the linens and washroom were clean and in good condition. We especially enjoyed the patio as it over looks the water so it was a nice place for us to hang out. Communication before arrival was also clear and succinct . Check in was a breeze! Great long weekend stay overall!

We had a great visit to salt springs island. Elena was an amazing host and replied within seconds. Her place was very comfortable and had everything you needed. Thanks again Elena and we hope to be back soon.

A great place close from the Ferry to Crofton on Vancouver Island. We did not have any problems with accessing the property or with communicating with the host as Elena was prompt and responsive. Also, the place was clean and organized. That being said, we encountered few issues at the property, mainly the internet. We had a very slow internet connection on the first couple hours of checking-in, after that the internet was completely unusable. I had a back and forth conversation with Elena, but her requests of me having to be present at the time of her coming to try and fix it were unreasonable as we were on a short stay for vacation. Additionally, we had extremely limited supplier (only salt and pepper). Finally, we were provided with only two blankets and we hoped there was at least an extra blanket. This property’s price is reasonable if you’re willing to do over 50% of the cleaning before checking-out, which is a reasonable bargain.

This unit was lovely, clean and quiet. I've stay here before in another unit which also worked out well. It's a bit of drive to town but I love the quaintness of this part of the island and it's very convenient to the Crofton ferry crossing which is great. The manager was very accommodating with our schedule and worked with us to so that we could arrive at our family event on time. I would stay again.

Salt Spring was great.

Salt Spring was great.

A very nice stay on Salt Spring Island. The island is not that large so the condo location was close enough for everything. There is a bus but we used our car. It was nice to sit on the covered balcony for breakfast and dinner and enjoy the water view and sunset. Overall, it was very clean, comfortable and well appointed.
