Casual Luxury

This was our first VRBO. We normally stay at hotels/resorts. Our experience with this rental was wonderful. Perfect for a relaxing time on Salt Spring Island. The house has a million dollar view and takes full advantage of it from almost every room. Add to that a large deck to enjoy a morning read with coffee or a before dinner glass of wine. This house surpassed our expectations and made a visit to Salt Spring Island one of our best times.

View home on Salt Spring Island

This home was perfect place to relax after our days of kayaking and sailing. We were a short drive to the market and restaurants but still felt like we had the quiet of the countryside. The best part of this home is the deck adjacent to the living room. The sunset views were beautiful!

About the host

Hosted by Brad Paul

I have been a Salt Springer for 25+ years. Rhonda and I spend our downtime kitesurfing. We enjoy being able to offer the main portion of the house with others wanting to explore Salt Spring Island. It is rewarding to meet our guests from near and far, offering our home as a quiet, relaxing retreat.

Why they chose this property

Over the years, I have lived in a few different places on the island, including a neighboring house near this one. The view here, combined with how much sun this location receives, is why I chose this location.

What makes this property unique

This west coast cedar home was creatively designed to suit the property's topography, beautiful ocean view and sunny southwest exposure. The house has 3 levels which cascade down the hill landscape to capture the sunshine and the view! Just under an acre, the location is private and quietly surrounded by nature in one of the few year-round sunny locations on Salt Spring Island. We very much enjoy our location here and hope our guests will too.
