The place was very clean, very well appointed and very well stocked. I appreciated the actual owner of the place reaching out to me - I can tell this is a place that is loved and well taken care of.

This was such a lovely, magical place to stay. I loved the character of the home, the lovely view of the sound, and the ability to walk out the back door and walk to the beach to hunt for shells and sea glass. It was a lovely time, thank you!

This beautiful home was like stepping back in time. Reminded me of my grandparents' home. AMAZING views of the Olympic mountains, Narrows bridge and waterway wildlife. A very peacefully place. Fully stocked kitchen. Washer and dryer was an amazing bonus. Close to restaurants and grocery shopping. Comfortable beds and linens. Would definitely stay here again.

First off I enjoyed my stay here and the house and area was beautiful. The home is from 1912 so you have to come in expecting some quirky things and go with the flow. Overall it was decorated nicely had a cozy feel and the living room areas were nice. Me and my wife slept downstairs as it’s more open and has a couch and more living space. There are bedrooms upstairs that are somewhat small but the main shine to this place is the front entrance. Dining areas. Living rooms and views The backyard was nice also and nice neighborhood close by many things I would stay here again. There were a few things I think could be addressed and I told that to the owners but nothing that’s major or made my time feel unwelcoming. I will recommend this property and believe it’s a cozy affordable and comfortable place to stay for many days with 2 or even many more people. We loved the many windows and plants that were all around. Thank you for sharing your space with us it was a great weekend
