Well, this is a very special house. The home itself is clean, and bright, and feels spacious and open throughout the main floor. The appliances are a cut above (loved the Wolf stove), and the bed was extremely comfortable. But the magic of the house is the location. The view from every room is just incredible. The wind on the water, the boats going by, the ferries lit up at night, and the light and clouds wreathing Salt Spring Island provide a non-stop breathtaking show. We loved the deer in the yard, the raccoons, the river otters, and the seals. We were delighted by the birds. We stayed in this house for the month of October. It felt like one of the shortest months of my life. It went by far too quickly. This is a great house, with the cute town of Sidney by the Sea just down the road. Privacy, peace, stunning views, and nearby restaurants and grocery stores...what is not to like.
