This condo is a very well set up. Comfortable, covered balcony with a view, everything we might want. Lots of nice walks to the beach and/or Duck Creek Park. Quick to get to other island spots by car. This is a solid place without quirks.

We just got back from spending two weeks at this beautiful condo. We loved the central location, which made it easy to explore the island. The beds and bedding were extremely comfortable, and the view was amazing (we even saw a whale breaching from afar!) It was a treat to be able to walk to the nearby beach, the Seaside Restaurant and the ferry pier. Thank you Elena for a lovely stay!

Great condo for a Saltspring vacation. It was quiet and had a great view from the balcony. Though shopping is on the "other"side of the island, it still only takes minutes to get to downtown Ganges.
