About this property

Hosts Bob & Jennifer are retired world travellers and enjoy welcoming guests from home and abroad. Salty's by the Sea is a recent, well planned addition to their family home of 50 years. Beyond our fully fenced gardens, there is easy access to the sea shore and our sheltered bay, where seals bask on rocks, eagles soar, ducks and birds come to play.

Our spacious 600 sq ft ground floor studio comes with a well equipped kitchenette, living area with queen sofa bed, a cosy queen bed area and bathroom with shower. Through the sliding doors to a fenced garden and area, our sea side garden is ready for your enjoyment under the gazebo and other sitting areas by the sea. Our mellow Bearded Collie, Fergus, invites your friendly dog to visit his back yard.

Our seaside home is 30 minutes from the airport and 45 minutes from the BC Ferries terminal. Full shopping amenities are nearby.

We provide our guests with starter basics for several breakfasts; milk, juice, coffee and tea; cereals, eggs, yogurt & bread.

Absolutely Restorative!

This property backs onto the ocean and is everything that I hoped it would be! From a protected little alcove I watched a river otter eating crab, great blue herons fishing and a bob of seals sunning themselves. The wildlife as the tide comes and goes is amazing-and so are these hosts! From offering a blanket to keep myself warm as I bird watched (they even have a pair of binoculars in the suite) to providing great advice about what to see and do in the area-they are superb hosts. I booked this as a retreat for myself and it was so much more-I left feeling refreshed and relaxed. One of the bonuses of this place is that it is only about 25 minutes from the Victorian waterfront-an easy drive to go for a seafood supper. I would give a higher rating if I could 7 out of 5-I would stay again in a heartbeat!

Ocean side

We totally enjoyed our stay at Salty's by the Sea! Being next to the ocean and watching the seals and otters; birds; hikes that were close by, made it all in all a great time. Having a little alcove (to buffer the sea breeze) to sit and take in the ocean was relaxing and calming. Bob and Jennifer made our stay comfortable right from the beginning, with some good and refreshments to tied us over until we could grocery shop. Thank you!

A far better choice than commercial lodgings!

Why would anyone want to stay in a noisy, small hotel room, hearing all the guests clump along the hallways and traffic noise below. This 600 sq ft suite is fully equipped with the best ocean view in the area, and the pictures are real, taken right from the property. Witty's Lagoon, a large park with waterfalls and trails is right nearby. Nothing beats a quiet, restful stay and the hosts were great. We'll be back.

Total Relaxation

We had an absolutely wonderful time. The pictures don't do justice, the view over the private cove was incredible and we could spend the day watching all the different birds and animals that make this there home. The accommodation were very comfortable and had everything needed for our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Bob & Jennifer Burgis

We are retired world travellers who appreciate the outdoors as well as enjoy the proximity and cultural events of a city. It is our pleasure to share our unique location with guests from near and far and share experiences & hear their stories.

Why they chose this property

It was inevitable that a member of the family would return to a family home that was purchased by the sea in 1972.

What makes this property unique

Located on Parry Bay, with a view of the Olympic Mountains in Washington State, the rural setting is second to none. As a waterfront acreage, the house has been substantially updated to ensure family members will continue to enjoy it for years to come.
