Such a nice setting & the beach was lovely. The walkway to the beach was a little treacherous.

Loved the home! 5 stars for it. However, the host (Avantstay) brings my rating down because they did not send us any access details. Not until we were at the location and called into their 800 number were we able to reach someone after clicking through multiple bot recordings. Even then, the person we reached was unsure of the lockbox code. Luckily their guess was correct, but it was an odd and stressful situation until then.

Completely charming property with a lot of thoughtful, artistic touches on the grounds that made it feel like a retreat. So mossy and quiet. A wonderful spot to relax but still close enough to get great meals in Langley and Freeland. Just what we needed for a long weekend!
