About this apartment rental

Hosts Bob & Jennifer are retired world travellers and enjoy welcoming guests from home and abroad. Salty's by the Sea is a recent, well planned addition to their family home of 50 years. Beyond our fully fenced gardens, there is easy access to the sea shore and our sheltered bay, where seals bask on rocks, eagles soar, ducks and birds come to play.

Our spacious 600 sq ft ground floor studio comes with a well equipped kitchenette, living area with queen sofa bed, a cosy queen bed area and bathroom with shower. Through the sliding doors to a fenced garden and area, our sea side garden is ready for your enjoyment under the gazebo and other sitting areas by the sea. Our mellow Bearded Collie, Fergus, invites your friendly dog (Under 75 kg) to visit his back yard. Sorry but we cannot accept cats.

Our seaside home is 30 minutes from the airport and 45 minutes from the BC Ferries terminal. Full shopping amenities are nearby.

We provide our guests with starter basics for several breakfasts; milk, juice, coffee and tea; cereals, eggs, yogurt & bread.

A stay at Bob and Jennifer's studio was the perfect getaway. Nestled on a quiet bay, the studio is far enough from the bustle to feel like a true escape but still conveniently close to everything you might need.Every morning began with a cup of coffee in the gazebo, watching the incredible sea life. Seals playfully swam and fished in the bay, while eagles and kingfishers soared overhead. The backyard, with its small rocky islands dotting the water, was a constant source of peaceful entertainment.The location is ideal for nature lovers. A provincial park with stunning daily walks is just a short distance away. After a day of exploring, returning to the tranquil setting of the studio felt like coming home. The sunny weather was a bonus, making the whole experience even more enjoyable.To top it all off, Bob and Jennifer were wonderful hosts—friendly and welcoming. I can't recommend this place enough and can't wait to go back.
