Amy's place is spacious and the location is ideal overlooking St. Mary's lake. We liked that there was a lot of room for the 5 of us. We especially liked the nice touches, like a basket full of things we might need in the bathroom, jugs of water for coffee, and milk and yogurt in the fridge. The balcony was a good place to be at sunset looking out at the water. What we realized is that we would prefer to rent out an airbnb where the owners aren't living above or there to greet you. For us then we feel free to make the place our home. We got a couple of text messages about not bbq-ing and a reminder that check out time is at 11am. Some people don't mind that, but we have a different preference. That's ok. We will remember our preference for next time. We had a good time overall on Salt Spring island.
