This house has an amazing location and is very well equipped with everything we needed. Our only issue was the lack of window coverings in the living room. If you use the pullout bed in the living room you will be awoken pretty early in the summertime because there is nothing blocking the sunlight. Overall a great house.

The home was charming and comfortable. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked. The bath tub was a treat and there was plenty of hot water to take a nice bath. We had a lovely stay and look forward to coming again. It was nice to be right across from the beach. The only thing that would have been nice to have is a hand held shower head. The check in and out times were not very generous - 10 am and 4 pm Host communication could have been more helpful. I stated I couldn’t find check out instructions and they replied it’s on a laminated sheet in the house. :/

We really enjoyed the spacious clean house. The bathroom is like a spa with a shower & very large tub with jets. It has a well stocked kitchen, soft beds with a washer & dryer. Draw back for me was, not very many curtains. The ones they had did not provide privacy.

Great location, needs updating

Excellent location and very quiet. The house has not been updated at all and is straight out of the early 80s. Persistent smell of mothballs. Terrible pots/pans considering the price per night. We won’t be returning to this house but definitely will return to the beach.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I had never rented a vacation house before. Had some misgivings, would it be a fairy tale or a horror story. It was a dream come true. The house was eclectic, close to nature and a sit down dinner. Saw my first bald eagle (53 year wait). The San Juans were beautiful.

Perfect location for a family

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Easy walking distance from a beach (county park). We were able to quickly drive to a number of different beaches to launch our kayaks, hike, or just hang out on the beach. We enjoyed it so much more than staying in the congested Friday Harbor area, although, Friday Harbor is a wonderful place to visit, shop, dine, and watch people. The house was well equipped, clean, and comfortable, and we especially enjoyed our frequent visits from different foxes.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location! Perfect sized property for a couple or family. Very comfortable house. Would be nice to have a 2nd footstool in living room. 2nd bedroom blinds need repair. Master bedroom would benefit from blinds or black out curtains. Bathroom faucets turn in different directions. Would be nice to have a couple of folding chairs. A deeper cleaning of dust/dirt on surfaces and under furniture is needed.

Nice and quiet location, but very old bathroom/shower

The house was clean and spacious, with everything you need inside - kitchen fully equipped with a lot of utensils, outdoor patio table and chairs, not issues with the running hot water. The bad: (1) the shower leaks water outside, and it is not very comfortable to use and (2) there is not propane grill, only a charcoal grill, and with the fire restrictions on the island you cannot grill! Also AT&T and T-Mobile signal is on and off around the property area, but there is internet (which was down for one day) and a smart TV easy to use.

Peaceful escape

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, I really liked this place. It had unique character, with many original furnishing and cool wood details. The kitchen was well-stocked with gear. The setting was very pretty, and you could see the ocean and sometimes the Olympic Mountains from the front deck. My one complaint was the beds. We slept the first night in the larger king room. The bed was very hard, and would move whenever you'd roll over to try to get comfortable. Overall, I think the bed is just pretty worn out. The box spring underneath was sagging. We slept the rest of the nights in the smaller room, which was more comfortable. However, both beds and the bedding could really use a refresh. It felt like sleeping in your friend's parents house. The place is a little hard to find because the house numbers are blocked by some over growing plants. It also would have been nice to have some sort of bicycle storage. The location was really pretty, and it was cool to have access to the beach, and a short drive from the state park on the southern end of the island. This place was decently affordable, and if the beds were updated, I would definitely stay here again.

Nice but dated

It’s a nice place, quiet and lovely area. Well equipped kitchen to make dinners etc. Beds are comfortable. The hosts even let our small (crated) dog come with us last minute as our dog sitter got sick. The beach across the way is amazing!! The musty smell is unwelcome for allergy sufferers. We had an issue with a fire alarm going off and that could be remedied by changing batteries more often, since it’s a vrbo. The handle in the shower is a rusted wrench that makes it seem the vrbo is not well maintained. Lastly, the ratings are deceptively high, there is the same 4 star rating listed over and over when this listing is a 2 star hotel at best.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was not a place I felt comfortable. The windows in the livingroom made me feel as though I was being watched. The windows in the bedroom only had sheer curtains on them and you could see in so I put towels over them. I think this house is in need of a lot of updating. It has a wonderful location and view. Just a little too old and not very cozy or comfortable.

Beautiful location, but the home was not as advertised

The location of the home was stunning and just across the street from the trail to Granny's Cove. The home itself was the pretty typical "island" home and was dated, but very spacious. When I booked the place it said that it slept 6 people. Come to find out, this was false advertising. There are two queen beds and then another bed in a loft, but you cannot get up there. So, it actually sleeps 4 people. We had 5 in our party and I was left to sleep on the couch in the living room. This couch did NOT have a pull out bed. In addition, the living room is full of windows, but know blinds or drapes, so the cars driving by at night and the light on the garage kept the living room lit up. Essentially, I did not sleep well the entire time. Had I know the sleeping arrangements I would not have booked. Lastly, There we not extra paper towels or garbage bags, so I borrowed from the neighbor so we could actually clean the place upon departure.

This was a beautiful stay while we celebrated our family member graduating high school! The house was clean, well cared for, and beautiful. The access to the beach was great, and I loved the array of books and board games available. The master bedroom was spacious, and comfortable! The 2nd bedroom mattress was a little firm but overall we would definitely rebook again! Thank you again for the fun stay!
