My family of 4 spend the 3 nights at the CaBen on lovely Salt Spring Island.
Pro's:
- Location was quite and just of the road enough so as to not hear the occasional passing car too much
- Great view across the water to Fulford Harbour. Nice to watch the ferry come and go as well as the lights at night.
- A good amount of space given we were looking for a more rustic experience.
- Check in process was smooth.
Con's:
- Needs a deep clean. We expected a rustic experience but that's not an excuse for not maintaining the property in better shape. Spiderwebs everywhere, the kitchen smelled strongly of fried fish, the exterior needs to be maintained better. Nothing massive, just the occasional detailed clean would do it and make it more comfortable.
- The water. We didn't know it was well water until a couple of days before arriving, which is generally fine, but the water smelled so strongly of rotten eggs (hydrogen sulfide I believe) it was pretty much unusable. We had to use bottled water for everything, including bathing. It had a significant impact on our enjoyment of the property.
