We had such an amazing time at Sasha’s place. We had 10 days there and were so sad to leave. Whenever we travel, we are so focussed on seeing all the surrounding areas but there was so much to experience on this expansive property alone. It was truly unique having a house overlooking the straight and watching the passing whales and shipping traffic ranging from pleasure craft, commercial fishers with traps set out in front to freighters and cruise ships. Bringing binoculars is a great idea to bring in all the sights. The grounds have great trails to explore the massive old trees and the main trail to the beach is an engineering marvel! The (essentially private) beach is fascinating with so many colourful pebbles and interesting rock formations and even sand during low tide. There is a large open grassy area for games and finding quiet spots to enjoy the sun (or shade as needed). We had daily visit from bunnies and deer on occasion. The house itself was also resort quality with a massive master room and all the comforts you might expect. It was a vacation we will always remember.
