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.

A relaxed mini stay on the island

Elena’s was a perfect place for my family and I to stay on the island. It was nice and spacious and very comfortable. The convenience of the ferry to our next destination was wonderful too. We look forward to staying for a longer period to fully utilize the kitchen and elements of her place next time!

Traveling with friends from Alberta to Vancouver island and back again.We loved our stay here and had pretty much everything we needed. Accomodations were clean and the kitchen was well stocked. If you are staying more than one night you'll have to bring your own kitchen garbage bags as these are not provided.
