We spent a week on Salt Spring Island at Dorrie and Larry's guesthouse. There are spectacular views from the floor to ceiling windows facing the bay. There is privacy, spaciousness, lots of seating indoors and outdoors, each with a view of its own. There is a beautiful deck with stairs that lead down to the beach. The gardens of the property were lush, beautiful, and peaceful.
Dorrie and Larry are wonderful hosts who insisted along with their dog Phoebe on meeting us when we arrived at midnight. They are both relaxed and friendly, easy to talk to, attentive to any extra requests (heater, games, etc), and they gave us detailed information about places to hike, eat, shop, and explore.
The guesthouse was stocked with yogurt, granola bars, apple juice, and even cream for tea or coffee. Dorrie also brought us freshly baked goods that arrived at the door in the morning.
An extra bonus was enjoying their affectionate and playful dog Phoebe. Phoebe stayed close by, ready to play fetch or take a walk on the beach. She sent us off in the morning and was waiting for us when we came back. She even slept by our door every night that we were there. We felt generously attended to and completely entertained by this hostess extraordinaire!
We both enjoyed ourselves so much and we'd like to return someday, sooner rather than later!
