Clean and well-stocked home

This house was exceptionally clean and well stocked. The beds were super comfortable and the kitchen was nicely laid out so that you could cook a meal and visit with the other guest(s). While the weather wouldn’t allow for backyard use, it looked really inviting.The big washer and dryer were a nice plus. We would definitely stay here again!

Meticulously clean, easy to operate

This is a mid-century Rambler, recently updated -- the owners keep it meticulously clean and have organized and furnished the place to make it easy to operate. We appreciated the layout: the playroom / den with the TV screen (and our rambunctious daughter) is on one side of the house, the bedrooms on the other. The kitchen and dining room are in the middle of the house (kitchen is well-equipped: easy to cook in). The four of us (one grandparent, two parents, and one child) fit easily into this space.

Perfect for a stay in the San Juans

We really enjoyed our stay here. The location is fantastic being only minutes from town or the ferry. The home is super clean, well appointed and surprisingly spacious. The beds were very comfortable with more than enough pillows (yay!). Kitchen was well equipped particularly in the coffee department (another yay!) This is a well executed vacation rental - the hosts obviously know a thing or two about hospitality. They made our stay a very pleasant experience

Lovely & location perfect

Had a wonderful 4 nights in Anacortes. The perfect homebase for all pur plans - drive to Vancouver for the day, whale watching out of Cap Sante Marina, ferry to Friday Harbor. Datling house with comfy beds, tons of room & hot water for all of us. Had drinks & did puzzles in the quiet backyard plus firepit relaxation. The huge movie room was great for putting up our feet & resting after our busy days. Loooved everything about this home. Oh & saw deer & bunniesin the front yard!!!!

Beautiful, comfortable home

First, the area is very quiet at night so sleep is easy. Second, the home has a good vibe: comfortable furniture, a great dining area, a well equipped kitchen, and very comfortable beds. Two bathrooms was wonderful for our family too. We did not require heat or the fireplace since the weather was around 67* and the location is so close to the waterfront where we had booked a whale watching trip with our grandsons. There is a good offering of books for reading pleasure though we were there just two days. This was a nice large home where the boys had their own hangout spot.

Quiet and close to fun

Very clean older home on a large lot in a quiet neighborhood. Cozy, comfortable beds. No air conditioning but fans were available. Small, well equipped kitchen. The main bath shares the hallway with the 2 bedrooms. The 2nd bath is a toilet and stall shower in a small room and the vanity is in the laundry room... same general area. Overall the home and backyard are nice spaces.... we would stay again.

Nice home

This is a nice house and yard decorated in a modern farm style.Very clean with comfortable beds. IGNORE the picture of the old TV in bonus room. The have a beautiful 70" in there now plus a smaller one in master bedroom. As others have noted it is not a traditional 2 bath in the fact that the 2nd bathroom is located on the other side of the house between the kitchen and laundry area however it is right next to the bonus room and if you are sleeping in that room you can close the door behind the kitchen and make it a true master suite with ensuite. Would definitely stay again.
