The listing was totally inaccurate and deceptive. What was described as an oceanside (seaside) cottage with a 2 minute beachfront walk to the market was in fact neither. The cottage sits adjacent to the main artery road on Salt Spring Island, approximately 35 feet from the road, and is sited at the end of an ugly and high traffic parking lot with cars parked right up to the front door. There is no beach access so your walk to the market is on this high traffic road. The cottage is shaded by heavy tree cover and receives virtually no sunlight...it is like a dungeon inside. Furnishings are mostly flea market items at the end of their useful life. This property is suitable for folks with lower expectations and most appropriately at a much lower price. I felt scammed.
