We just returned from a wonderful 3 night stay at this beautiful place! We visited Salt Spring Island to celebrate my fiancé’s birthday, and Becka went above and beyond to make our stay extra special. I had requested a few special items for our arrival, and Becka thoughtfully gathered everything, including a gorgeous bouquet of flowers and a personalized birthday card. Our room was stunning, modern, cozy, and impeccably clean. The location is perfect, within walking distance of downtown, making it easy to explore the shops and restaurants. It’s also very dog-friendly, which was a huge plus! Having a kitchen was an added bonus, making our stay even more comfortable. Communication was fantastic from start to finish, making the entire experience seamless and stress-free. I 10/10 recommend this place and we can’t wait to come back!
This condo is a quick walk to the shops. Beautiful view to the harbour. The unit was very clean, well stocked and organized. There is two parks within minutes. I only wish there was A/C. Fans did not help when it was +25 C. Otherwise amazing stay!
We had a lovely Christmas visit to SSI to spend time with our new Grandson. Mariners loft afforded us the space to spread out and relax. It's proximity to the Ganges Harbor commerce is unbeatable.
My friend and I spent two nights in unit 20 one of the Mariners loft. We loved it. There was lots of space and it was exceedingly clean and well appointed. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
I've stayed here several times and it's one of the best accommodations I've had. The suites are beautiful and the view is amazing. The kitchen is fully stocked and it really feels like home. The suite is also immaculately clean! The location is within walking distance of all the shops and multiple restaurants. The owner has been a dream to communicate with. I highly recommend this place and look forward to returning soon!
When we first opened the door we were immediately thrilled to be staying there! Bright, clean and smartly decorated. Gorgeous view of the marina and beautiful and comfortable living space. Well appointed kitchen and bathroom with the best salt spring island soaps! The bed was so comfy and it was super dark and peaceful at night. Great location right in the heart of the bustle. Absolutely loved this accommodation.
We spent a week on Salt Spring Island, which we thoroughly enjoyed, and were very happy to have chosen Mariner's Loft for our accommodation. It's comfortable and welcoming in every way, including nice furniture for dining and lounging, comfortable beds, good shower and linens, and nice extra touches such as a welcome card, coffee for our first morning, paper towels and tissues, Best of all was the glorious harbor view! The location is perfect, as we could walk many places in the charming town of Ganges. When we return, which we will, we'll again choose Mariner's Loft.
Mariners Loft is well situated in the heart of town with amazing views of the Inner Harbour. Very clean and well appointed units with everything I needed for any length of stay. Check in/out process is very easy. It really feels like I'm staying at a friends place. I will definitely be back to Mariners Loft.
