We had a wonderful time staying here. It was so fun to relax in the morning with the firepit and watch the boats and wildlife. Orcas and dolphins were spotted in the sound. Would definitely come again!!

Very clear directions and instructions from owner. Daily check-in by email to make sure it was all good. Loved the oceanview hot tub and the bedroom. Used the fan at night was very quiet. Would go back in a minute. Thanks for being such a great host.

This place was amazing! The inside was super cute and it also had a great backyard and view with your own private hotub. We had everything we needed to make coffee and breakfast in the morning and all the necessities in the bathroom as well. The Host was so sweet and very easy to communicate with. 10/10 would recommend!

My daughter and I stayed for 3 nights. Ruth made sure communication was smooth and sent us recommendations for things to do, restaurants, etc. The location is beautiful and quiet except for the airplanes going over. Didn't bother us at night to sleep, but as suggested we had the doors open in the evening to cool things down since there is no air conditioner. So every time a plane went over it was loud. With the doors closed it wasn't an issue. The location is not far from the freeway and/or getting into Seattle for touristy stuff. There aren't a lot of restaurant options nearby - have to go about 5 miles to find more than a couple. But there is a Safeway about 2-3 miles away. And that's the whole point of staying here - it's NOT in the city. But you need to plan in advance that it's NOT in the city. With the fridge, microwave, coffee maker, etc it's not hard, just need to be aware. IT'S WORTH IT, but that's the reason I gave a 4 for location. Internet was great if you need to work. Owners were responsive to our requests and we barely even knew they were on the property at all. If we needed something they would drop it off on the porch and text that it was there. Would recommend.

The location is beautiful, clean, and private. The hosts are very kind. They are very responsive. The stay was peaceful and refreshing. I would stay here again in a heartbeat! A slice of paradise for sure! We even saw some porpoises in the Sound! The only downside and it's VERY minor. There truly is NOT a kitchen or kitchenette in the property. There is a small fridge, a hot plate and coffee pot but not a sink, etc. that you would call a kitchen. However, again, we didn't really plan on cooking anyway. 5 star location and hosts!
