Waterfront Family Getaway on Mayne Island

PaulRating, 5 stars6 months ago
We had a wonderful stay! Had everything we were looking for -- waterfront location and set up well for children. The location and windows looking out onto the bay, islands, Straight of Georgia and across to Mt. Baker were what we loved most. Saw a lot of wildlife. Steps down to the water were nice too. House was otherwise set up well and as described. Highly recommend this location.

The Sea House

AlexRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
Niki and Neale’s place was amazing and was perfect for my stay On Salt Spring. The property was exactly as shown and was very clean. The location right by Fulford ferry terminal and public transit made for a very convenient trip. On my first day there Neale was nice enough to put a load of laundry on for me and Niki was very accommodating when I needed anything throughout my stay. Their dog Gus is adorable and always made sure to greet me whenever I came outside! I highly recommend staying with Niki and Neale and will absolutely be coming back!

Oceanfront low bank home viewing Mt. Baker.

RachelRating, 5 stars3 days ago
What a fantastic place! From the view to the hot tub to the really great and well stocked space, we had an amazing stay here with everything that we needed. Even some toys for my toddler! This is a real gem and my only regret is that we didn’t stay longer. I could spend days sitting in the sun room or on the deck watching the wildlife and the view. We will definitely be back! Thanks Carol for a wonderful stay.

Stylish Modern Country Retreat

DanielRating, 5 stars5 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!

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!

Watch the orcas in private cabin!

CaitlinRating, 5 stars6 months ago
Mary Ellen was responsive to my questions and greeted us when we arrived. The cabin matched description and photos- we selected this location due to views and quiet, and was not disappointed. Kitchen has utensils and supplies for light cooking (although we didn't do any ourselves). The bathroom was clean, had the necessities. The patio was perfect for enjoying morning coffee and listening to the birds. If like me you are a city-dweller looking to get away from it all, then this cabin could be for you. It's a 15-min drive to town, and a 5-min drive to scenic lookouts including Lime Kiln. As others have mentioned, the road leading up to the house is windy/steep; the path that leads to the cabin is also steep (decline) and cell service is pretty poor. It was chilly, but did not bother us to the point I inquired about heating, but be aware the provided baseboard heater only kicks out a little bit of heat. Overall great value for location and access to nature.

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.
