Unfortunately, our first impression of the Islandia was a very uncomfortable check in. We had communicated with Jon we were good to arrive by 2 but no one answered so we wandered in to find Jon's wife still in the process of cleaning the rooms and overwhelmed to see us. The other airbnb guests arrived at the same time and were upset because they believed they had booked the ocean view winder room as well. Even though Jon's wife had already put us into this room, she then walked away from both parties saying we could figure it out as she didn't want to get involved. This was extremely uncomfortable as the other woman proceeded to put her son on the bed in front of us and said we can go to the other room, which wasn't ready for another 2 hours. When Jon got home he explained to everyone that there are different rooms to book and the ocean view room was in fact ours, so we now had to have the family leave the room that we had in fact paid for. It's unfortunate that this was our first impression as it is something that could have been easily avoided with better communication and organization. This was on my girlfriend's 25th birthday and part of the surprise we had put time into organizing. Once that was all sorted, Jon's place is absolutely perfect. I would 100% stay here again. There are three levels: ocean with rocks to sun tan on and a dock to swim to, a level with a jacuzzi and shower, and a beautiful deck to have breakfast on. Jon and Chrissy are lovely and the place is so big that even with three separate parties I felt like we had our privacy most of the trip. Salt Spring is lovely and this location was amazing, close to town and both lakes. Couldn't have ended summer on a better note. Thank you guys!
