About this house rental

Summary
Our Bainbridge Island home is a warm and welcoming destination, located on two acres of low bank waterfront, a peaceful, fun site for a family retreat. We are15 minutes from downtown Winslow and the Seattle ferry, 30 minutes from the Kingston/Edmunds ferry. You and your family can enjoy boating and swimming in the Bay, a sandbox, swings and playhouse for the kids. fresh eggs to gather daily from our beautiful and generous :) hens, as well as blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, huckleberries, and apples, pears, peaches and Asian pears when in season. In season, you can dig for little neck or Manila clams off the dock. We have woods for exploring, a campfire for roasting hot-dogs and s'mores. Overlooking Fletcher Bay is our deck with both a Traeger pellet BBQ and charcoal BBQ for your use, along with a picnic table and fun hammock close by. Inside find a comfortable family room, fully equipped kitchen and extra large dining room table, all with views of the Bay.

The space
Our kitchen is fully equipped for preparing family style dinners or simple snacks. Guests are welcome to use any condiments and spices in the well stocked cupboards and drawers. Pantry items are available as well. Coffee set up and fixings will be provided for your first morning. Comfortable family room connects to the dining area. the large, hand made table accommodates 8-10 diners easily.
Two bedrooms have queen beds, the third room is a charming children's room, with three twin beds. Both upstairs bedrooms have lofts big enough for added sleeping space, or just a place to play. Brand new mattresses on all the beds.
We have a small, black dog, Humong. During the warm summer months, he can often be found laying on the sidewalk soaking up the sun. He is very gentle and doesn't bite, but when not basking, he will be with the owners. Young children can play on the swings, sand box, tree house. Everyone might enjoy exploring in the woods, or using the rope swing.

The owners live in adjacent but separate quarters. We will be available to assist or answer questions, but otherwise will not be involved.

Mary and Bill’s beautiful home resonates family, and was such a welcoming place. We feel so fortunate to have found them.

Couldn't have asked for a better location for family gathering to celebrate the loss of a loved one. The homey atmosphere and beautiful scenery was very comforting and put all at ease. From books, music, chickens and swings everyone found something wonderful to do! Bill and Mary provided advise to help with event and also extra tables and chairs. We could not have pulled off this event without them! On behalf of my family we sincerely thank them for sharing their home. Kathy

Our family of four with two little ones absolutely loved our stay! Firstly, the house has everything you need and then some. If you are traveling with kids, trust me when I say they’ll be entertained both inside and outside the house. The side is good. Lots of tv options (Netflix , prime etc) The outside is stunning and the tide river provides hours of excitement for the kids. It’s an east drive to local towns, and the grand forest. It’s a fast ferry into Seattle. But the piece de resistence are the hosts. Mary and Bill think of every detail and go out of their way to go above and beyond. The truly are wonderful people. We look forward to going back and hopefully making it a annual visit.

Once I communicated the reason for our trip, what a special surprise to realize that our host had family ties! This resulted in an extra special time for us! The home was perfectly located for our stay, and it was exceptionally adequate for our accommodation needs. Mary and Bill were also exceptional in supporting us during this time—our most gracious and helpful hosts.

A much loved, very homely family home where you can just kick off your shoes and relax and enjoy the beauty of nature and the views of the creek. Mary and Bill were great hosts and made us feel so welcome. They live in a separate part of the house and, although very discreet, they are conveniently available to assist with any queries as the need may arise. Bainbridge is a gorgeous island but you do need a car to get around.

This home has a trail down to the water with a dock and boats that we all enjoyed. Mary and Bill are great hosts who live in a separate part of the house, but are aware of their guests privacy. Our grandkids loved all the toys and activities made available.

Our stay at Mary & Bill's was the nicest of any VRBO's we've rented. The house was wonderful. Clean, spacious, well stocked and totally comfortable. Our hosts were fantastic. They supplied us with fresh eggs from their own chickens, baked us pastries and bread, lent my son in law a belt (he forgot his). Everything about our stay was way beyond any expectations we could have had. Hope to visit again. This experience was a stand out.

The location and facility was perfect for my family gathering. Lovely setting by the bay and close to our home on Battle Point Drive.

My daughter, husband and three children stayed here mid August, 2020. The house is large and easily accommodated this family of five. The kids, including two cousins had a great time with all of the toys in the cupboards. The setting is perfect and we had many meals outside at the picnic table. The rope swing was a big hit. The kids loved to get eggs from the chickens and watch them walk around when Bill let them out of their cage. We picked blueberries and peaches. Bill and Mary were great hosts and always checked with us to make sure we had everything we needed. I high,y recommend this VRBO.

My family stayed at Mary and Bill’s house for a week in August. The house was just wonderful. Actually, it’s there home and we are so grateful that they let us borrow it for a week. It was perfect for us with two kids (5 & 8), and some friends who came with their baby. Mary and Bill were delightful hosts. We can’t wait to come back again next summer!

This is an amazing place for a family retreat or extended vacation. We spent two weeks canoeing, spotting wildlife and swimming off the dock, feeding the chickens, playing on the playground, having meals outside, running around the grounds and through the sprinklers. Mary and Bill are wonderful hosts, very communicative, and extra generous with their guests. Everything in the house has been built and set up with thought and care, especially for kids (we have two, but this place could accommodate more). One note on swimming: when the tide goes out, the bay is almost entirely mud flats in this part of the bay, difficult to walk on, so swimming only possible at high tide and when the water is free of the kind of crud that tides can bring in. Covid-19 note: very easy to distance with the hosts on the large grounds outside. All around a fantastic, very relaxing stay, highly recommended, I'm sure we'll be back for more!

We chose this home for our vacation because we wanted to be on the water, and this house allowed us to use their boats with a signed waiver. It was just what we had hoped for! They have small dock on an inlet off of Fletcher Bay so at high tide you can paddle out to the Bay and see all of the wildlife and beauty. The house is also very comfortable. It's not fancy, but it is clean with a big open living room kitchen area. They have a large collection of vinyl records and movies. We loved playing the old records while eating dinner or just hanging out on the patio. They also have a campfire ring all set up with plenty of wood. It was so nice to end each day with a fire just steps from the front door. Our teens even loved the big rope swing out front. Whenever we couldn't find them that's where they were. Mary and Bill are great hosts, and they stay in a separate part of the house even when you are there. It turned out to be great so they could show the kids how to collect eggs from their chicken coop, setup the boats and give advice on things to do on the island. When we arrived we had a plate of homemade cookies, masks and fresh eggs waiting for us! The kitchen is large and has most of what you need, but everything is a little older. Only a few pans and none are non-stick, but defintely good for a basic meal. They also invite you to borrow from their large cupboard for things like plastic wrap, foil, etc...which is helpful. We would definitely stay here again, and we recommend it for any adventurous family.

The property was great! A beautiful home and Mary was such a great host - from homemade cookies and homemade bread when we arrived to fresh eggs from their hens! Truly a gem! Also, Mary was gracious enough to allow us to stay after the normal checkout, especially when we had to hunt through baggage to try to locate one of the guests wallet! Thankfully Mary was super accommodating and was so helpful! My only regret is that we weren't able to spend enough quality time at the property since we were so busy with our son's wedding! Hopefully we will be back and can just relax at this beautiful property!

Mary & Bill gave us such a warm welcome to their waterfront family home, including a plate of homebaked cookies :-) This property is perfect for anyone looking for a relaxing location which includes access to the water, and the chance to get out on it with canoes, rowboat or sailboat. For anyone travelling with children (we visited with a 5 month and 3 year old) this place is really ideal. Mary & Bill's home is full of special little goodies for kids including plenty of toys and games, play kitchen, outdoor play stuff, great selection of childrens books etc. Our son also loved seeing the deer visiting the big garden while he went down on his daily hunt for fresh eggs from the chickens. We're already looking forward to our next visit!

The house was lovely and the island was a perfect place for a low key getaway. What made it even better was that Mary and Bill were so helpful in making suggestions and providing information for making the most of their awesome property. We enjoyed our stay very much. We'll definitely visit again!
