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.

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.

We come this spot every summer to relax from a fast pace Vancouver. I look forward to this experience every year between July-August.

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.

This property is much better than pictures. Neighbor were so friendly. The place even had soap and shampoo in the showers. Great ocean view close to everything on the island . We really enjoyed this place very homey.

It was beautifully appointed, convenient location, gorgeous view, and quiet building. Wonderful home-base for our vacation.

Great spot to stay for a weekend! Definitely would recommend!

Wonderful. Well appointed suite. Beautiful view. Only problem could not get TV to work.

Better than expectations. Elena was very helpful. Beautiful views from spacious balcony. Very quiet and peaceful.

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.

Good location for travelers leaving/arriving Salt Spring Island. Well appointed apartment for anyone wanting to do their own housekeeping.

Elena's condo is clean, comfortable and convenient. If you're looking for a place to explore Salt Spring from, then this condo is your best option. And the view is beautiful as well!

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.

Thank you for hosting us in your fabulous condo! We will definitely be back!!!

Couldn't have been better

Everything was as expected. Clean, quiet and beautiful views!

The condo was great.

Very nice condo. Everything was as advertised.

Nice location. Close walk to a nice beach. Beautiful views. Clean accommodation.

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!

Beautiful view from front balcony. Elena was kind and great to deal with. Location was quiet with an amazing beach a block away. The only thing missing was Air Conditioning. All in all, a great stay.

Really nice condo with awesome view! Liked the quiet yet easily accessible location, well stocked & lots of room.

One of the best vacation rentals ever. Very clean, comfortable, spacious and well equipped. I hope to return here again.

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!

Wonderful place. Very clean and the layout of the apartment was great. We had dinner on the balcony and watched the deer in the garden and the boats on the water. We will definitely be back.

It was a nice stay. Clean apartment, and easy check in and check out process. You’ll need a car to explore the island, but this is not a bad spot to call home base for Your stay.

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.

Very clean, well kept. Great deck and kitchen

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.

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.
