Bad primary bathroom. Nice interior decorating and attractive home.
4.3
The surrounding yard and area are gorgeous! The landscaping and garden features are lush. The house in a few blocks walking distance from the interior Fletcher Bay coast line in Port Orchard side of Bainbridge Island. The house is charming with many windows and doors to enjoy the exterior beauty surrounding every side of the house. It was lovely!

Close to water.
Wooded lot.
Small and cozy.

This house is perfect. Ideally located close to Seattle with a short ferry ride, but also Olympic NP is accessible. (There were roadworks that made it harder, but once they are ready it will be an easier ride). The house has really everything that you need for your stay, but most importantly it’s charm and location is what we loved the most. There is a public place nearby to launch your kayaks/SUPs too. One of the best houses we have stayed… and we stayed in many… thanks

Rented the house for my parents to stay while they were visiting. The cabin is clean and full of natural light. Peaceful setting in the trees and a quick walk to the water. We will rent again next time they come.
4.3
Very quiet surroundings. Comfortable bed.

My friends and I stayed here for the weekend and had a wonderful time! We loved all the nature around the house and short walk to the water. The bedrooms are also nicer than pictured - essentially 3 rooms with double beds (including the loft). We cooked multiple times and had everything we needed. The home was one of the only dog friendly places we found on Bainbridge, which we appreciated so my friends didn’t have to board their pup. Would definitely stay again!

We arrived at 6:00 PM to find that the code they gave us for the electronic door entry would not work. After calling Vacasa we got a new code that did work UNTIL the following night at 8:00 PM at which time it did not work. Called and got another code. House is in ill repair. There is a pet door off of the upstairs bathroom that has a door that is broken and won't stay on-racoons etc. can easily enter the home. Carpet dirty, cellular blinds so dirty they look like a dirty yellow. Toast crumbs on the window sill behind the toaster, spider webs above the bed upstairs, and a shower door that has an inch gap at the bottom thus an orange and wet stain on the rug. A ceiling light upstairs that has just wires showing. TV only has local programming.
This could be a nice rental with deep cleaning and lots of maintenance. Book for guests needs to be updated-talked about a key in a lock box. Finally having to enter a code every time you enter is very inconvenient especially when it takes 4 or 5 tries to get the door code to work. Very disappointed.

Adorable home in a great area of Bainbridge. The home is well equipped for a stay. The yard and surroundings are perfect. The home could use a deep cleaning but otherwise is clean enough.
4.3
This home is exquisitely designed. Every angle is beautiful. We walked to the beach and discovered lots of sea life, and enjoyed relaxing in the cabin. The town of Bainbridge and its waterfront are also a treasure trove of delights. We’ll be back.
4.3
Nice and clean home. We shared the shower upstairs. A shorter code to get in is our only suggestion!

very nice

I was very nice and peaceful neighbors were very nice and no problem with any of them was really quiet community and I feel great. Of course while we were there we found out something wasn't working we landlords no and obviously they right 08 called in someone to come fix the problem. I had no problem with that.
4.3
This is a warm, cozy home on a quiet street, walking distance to a public road end that allows waterfront access. Lots of warm wood accents, and big windows to let the forest-y views in, it feels a lot like a ski cabin. We live locally, and stayed here while our floors were being refinished. The house is close to our favorite local Thai restaurant (Sawatdy Thai!). It's on the #106 bus route, and you could get here by bus from the ferry and to and from town at times, but Bainbridge bus service is tied to ferry service, and buses run mainly at commute times, so you will likely need a car to enjoy being here.
The kitchen was well-equipped, probably the best of any vacation rental we've ever stayed. All the sleeping areas are very open (MBR is lofted above the kitchen/living area), which might be a factor for some but we didn't mind. Good closet space in the main bedroom. Cell service in this part of the island can be spotty, but the wifi here was strong so we never had problems. This is a lovely place, and if I knew friends were coming to town, I would recommend it.
4.3
The house was not clean. I needed to clean kitchen before use, wash throw blankets that were dirty, dead bugs in bath, dirty sheets noted after use. The house is stocked with a mishmash of old furniture, smattering of utensils. Only 2 burners on stove, has a stand alone oven without pans etc. The rugs are dirty and stained, the walls are dirty. Very disappointing and unacceptable.
4.3
Horrible property management
4.3
Wonderful, cute cabin. Very clean and lovely, tranquil setting. I saw mentions in previous reviews that the upstairs shower didn’t work. It does. You pull the handle straight out instead of just turning. Turn to adjust the temp. The temperature adjustment is very sensitive. Maybe a note in the bathroom with brief instructions would help? Overall a great place.
4.3
Got the home for myself and employees while working nearby. House was exactly as described. Great value, clean, good location. Oven doesn’t work but that was the only thing and we didn’t care. Would definitely stay again.
4.3
Super nice place. Clean. Well furnished. Close to the water.

Stayed at this house for a weekend, the house was clean, tidy, and the surroundings are incredibly beautiful! Such a nice neighborhood and so close to the beach. Will stay here again :)

They Forgot to vacuum before we checked in , but other then that we loved everything about the stay , and the easy check in check out.
4.3
Nice spot. Great central location on the island. Great place for walking the dogs.
4.3
Nice quiet place a couple miles from downtown, with beach access a short walk away. Lots of room, well equipped kitchen except the oven didn’t work. There was a toaster oven/air fryer so wasn’t a problem for us.
4.3
Easy & comfortable; great location for us…thanks!
4.3
These things always missing when we stay at Vacasa properties - no sharp knives, no coffee, no way to heat water for tea, it seems most pots, pans, and utensils are a mismatch collection from the second hand store. Therefore, Cooking in your kitchens is mindlessly frustrating even when you claim it is furnished. I will avoid your properties in the future for these reasons

The house is located in a heavily wooded, quiet and moody surrounding, with only a short walk to the the waters of Fletcher Bay. The place inspires reflection on the passage of time, as the house's architecture and layout are harking back to the 1970s or early 1980s; the interior, though, is updated and very comfortable. The aged and somewhat neglected landscape and the dilapidated buildings in the back of the house add to the atmosphere. What the place affords in poetics, it lacks in the practical: a tea pot, a box of kleenex, and a flashlight would clearly add comfort to our stay. The welcome booklet says a flashlight can be found in the laundry room, but there was none. Still, these minor omissions did not spoil our enjoyment of the place.
4.3
Because of a last minute cancellation by airbnb/vacasa on a previously chosen property we decided on this house. Initially, we were pleased until we realized the upstairs shower ( master bath ) did not work at all. Water flowed in the sink, but the shower was completely unresponsive. I called vacasa, they said a ticket would be activated and would let us know the outcome.
We received no further correspondence on this matter. After getting home I reached out to airbnb, and after they got with vacasa they claimed that there was no issue with the shower.
At any rate I feel pretty disappointed about the whole state of our agreement; my steadfast loyalty to airbnb , both in lodging and airbnb experiences in various locations has taken a hit. In the future I believe I will take a harder look into actually believing that choosing airbnb is in my best interest.
4.3
The home is well kept, clean, with several beds available. The kitchen served us well for a nice dinner. The setting is quiet, secluded.
4.3
Lovely light filled house set in a big tree landscape. Close to an inlet with terrific bay views. We really enjoyed the quiet neighborhood and relaxing nature of the house.
4.3
We loved our visit to the island and this home was perfect for us. Our toddler loved exploring the property and had a blast reading in the loft. Everything was clean and tidy and the kitchen was well equipped. We had a great time and can’t wait to come back.
4.3
We absolutely adored staying at this property. Very clean and cozy. Highly recommend.
4.3
We were incredibly happy celebrating my birthday in this house.
4.3
Sitting in the courtyard of this beautiful little house was one of the highlights of our vacation. We didn’t use the loft but the other two bedrooms were prefect for two adults and our teenager. The house was clearly custom built and full of windows, as well as being equipped with everything we needed.
4.3
Great location, lovely and spacious home which has everything you need. Highly recommend!
4.3
Ideal location in mid-Bainbridge Island and in a quiet neighborhood near the western sound shorefront.
Overall, however, this property appears tired with age. Very 70-80’s style architecture with sort of a confounding room layout. One shower upstairs, off the primary bedroom, and a bedroom that feels as much like a loft as it does a room to itself.
First impressions matter in this business, and being greeted by unattended full plastic garbage bags left for pick up at the driveway entrance and an overgrown-ignored lawnscape fouled our early thoughts. In fairness, a call to a responsive property manager who alerted the property owner, and who took these matters into his own hands and corrected them promptly.
The primary bed itself was very comfortable, but for the annoying plastic protector beneath the sheets. The sheets were rough and scratchy in texture. Could also use a fresh set of towels. Hot water to upstairs bathroom setup took at least a full minute to arrive at the faucet heads.
Patio furniture needs replacing as 1-2 chairs and a table are either very worn or broken. Though the WiFi was excellent throughout the house and on the patio, no local CATV programming available - all streaming. Bedroom TV only accepted DVD’s as we could determine.
The cheery brightened photo in the promotion for this property is deceiving. A massive pruning effort and a new paint/finish job would go a long way in diminishing the disconnect between the promotional photos and reality.
In summary, the property is adequate as a place to stay, but it is underwhelming.

We had an amazing experience! the location is great, the kitchen is fully stocked.

Great place to stay in Bainbridge. We loved the bright open floorplan, jacuzzi and the quiet property. The wood fireplace worked great and added to the coziness. The only downsides where we would've liked improvements are the lack of curtains for the giant windows in the upstairs/master bedroom, the leaky showerhead that sprays everywhere, and the beds were kind of on the hard/firm side after a while. It'd also be nice if they left a floor fan somewhere for white noise and air circulation at night.

Met our needs perfectly
House was clean, bed was comfortable, and showers were hot. Kitchen was well equipped for a rental. “Beach” for our dog’s daily swim was about a five minute walk. Worked fine for her swim, although beach itself was pretty much non-existent due to tiny width and high tides. Good to be aware that there are no window coverings on upstairs many windows, so prepare to provide your own darkness with a sleeping mask if you like sleeping in a dark place.
