Really nice spot near the Vesuvius Bay ferry terminal. Ferry traffic goes by for a short duration throughout the day, but overall a peaceful location. You can really enjoy lovely sunsets from the patio. The unit is well appointed and quite spacious. The host was easy to work with, and we enjoyed our stay.

We had a wonderful stay at the place as two couples. The accommodation was perfect for us, boasting two bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. However, I noticed that the photos on Vrbo could use an update since there have been some changes. Notably, the living room now includes a TV, and instead of bunk beds, there are two comfortable single beds in one of the rooms.
The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the fantastic balcony. We enjoyed some memorable dinners there, and to our delight, we even had the privilege of spotting whales in the distance!
One of the great advantages of the location is its proximity to the beach, which is just a short walk away. The water was remarkably warm and inviting for swimming. I would advise bringing water shoes, though, as my partner injured her foot on the beach without them.
For light sleepers concerned about noise from the ferry, worry not. The last ferry departs at 10:30 pm, and the only sounds we heard were the cars driving on and off the ferry; the ferry itself does not blow its horn. Even the first ferry in the morning didn't disturb our sleep.
Overall, it was a fantastic getaway, and we highly recommend the place for anyone looking for a peaceful and enjoyable retreat near the beach.

We had a lovely visit to Salt Spring Island and our stay was amazing. The condo was clean and comfortable. It had everything our family needed to feel at home for the long holiday weekend. The location is terrific. We walked down to Vesuvius beach to watch the sun set.

Arrival and departure at this beautiful ocean view condo was smooth and easy. Directions for location were clear. Beds were comfy and having two full bathrooms was a bonus. Kitchen was well-stocked. Lots of extras - games, sand toys, coffee/tea and even fresh tulips! We would love to stay here again.

We checked in and were so pleased with how easy it was to access the room. The space was bright and sunny with a spectacular view of the ocean and so clean and tidy. Our stay extended over two nights and the place was very quiet along with a very comfy queen bed. This condo was presented online exactly as it shows. I would highly recommend this condo for anyone looking to experience SSI.

I love this property. This was my third stay and I’m already booked for another week in February. The bed in the primary bedroom is THE most comfortable VRBO bed ever. The kitchen is fully kitted out, the balcony with view a lovely spot for morning coffee or afternoon tea. Highly recommend.

Location is right beside the ferry which was very convenient. Close to town and to an excellent beach. Spacious with comfortable beds and big bathrooms. Kitchen is well stocked and check-in/out was seamless. Only minor negative is that, with the windows open, the ferry traffic/noise is a bit loud early in the morning.

My husband and I have been staying at this property for years. We have never looked at any other place on Salt Spring. The 2 bedroom condo is well maintained and always immaculate. It is right next to the Crofton - Vesuvius Ferry terminal which makes getting around a breeze. Check in is a breeze. I recommend this property 100%.

This was our second extended stay at the Vesuvius penthouse and was just as enjoyable as the first. Very comfortable and attractive accommodation in a scenic spot overlooking a fabulous ocean view. We esepecially enjoy the many well-maintained hiking trailes on Salt Spring.
