About Us

Michael & Calvin

Two Travellers

Michael & Calvin are Canadian and have been partnered for over 30 years. They both love to travel and to experience other cultures and geographies.  

Michael is a retired ‘Silicon Valley’ IT Consultant who spends his time between France and Italy. 

Calvin is on the verge of retirement and looks forward to the day when he does not have to ‘dial-in’ to calls at 3 in the morning.  He recently joined the Salt House Properties ‘Team’.  

Michael founded the company with his cousin Carol who brought with her the foundational knowledge we needed to get us off the ground 10 years ago.  Carol is off now doing other projects but will join us for ‘special projects’ in the future. 

Combined, they speak English, French, German, and Italian. 

 

Our Mission

Our mission is simple – we have high standards when we travel and endeavour to provide the same high standards to our guests at an affordable price. Any excess profit is turned around and used to upgrade our properties to enhance our guests’ stay. 

We created ‘Salt House Properties’ to provide us with vacation rentals in places we like to visit.  We will not stay in a vacation property unless it meets our quality standards.  If we will not stay in our own properties, how do we expect our guests to enjoy them?

Please take a look and enjoy booking your vacation without the hassle and high-cost of the booking applications.
