This was, hands down, the best rental experience I have had. First, the apartment was absolutely perfect. Clean, beautiful construction, gorgeous douglas fir counters and white cabinetry, comfortable couch and chair, a fireplace, a large kitchen table and perfect bathroom with lots of towels. On top of having lots of space in the apartment, there is a good sized deck with a table and chairs and two comfortable Adirondack-style chairs. There were also 4 chairs in the yard close to the shore. Second, there are a lot of windows looking out over the ocean. You are RIGHT THERE, on the ocean and you see it from the bedroom and living room and deck! The days were long so we went to sleep with the red and orange of the setting sun over the mountains and ocean. Third, Sue and Rob were about the best hosts there ever could be. They were there when you needed something and totally careful of your space when you were busy. They are absolutely lovely people!!! Finally, Saturna Island is stunningly beautiful. It is smaller and quieter than some Gulf Islands which is its beauty. We were busy for 7 days taking every walk on the map, visiting all the sights and still we didn't get everything done (missed the Winery). It took two ferries to get there but it was a breeze since you just drive off one ferry directly onto the next--all coordinated, no wait, very easy. And...the ferry ride is part of the vacation with great views of all the islands and the snow-capped peaks.)
