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.

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.

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!!!!

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

Nice stay

Very roomy and tidy home. The two beds were comfortable and our children loved the huge tv room and slept well in there with the easy blow up mattress and ottoman foldout bed. Owners were very responsive and helpful with some questions I had about the local area. Would stay again if the house is available the next time we are in the area.

Fabulous

This was our second stay and again it was perfect. Josh and Jody's home is so welcoming and comfortable, the neighborhood is quiet and lovely and accessible to the ferry and .downtown. There is a very active bird feeder in the spacious backyard which provides lots of entertaining bird watching. Anacortes was beautiful with vibrant fall color and dahlias everywhere.

Great family vacation rental

We loved staying at this vacation rental for a week while in Anacortes. It was very clean and well appointed. Loved the high-quality towels - I judge a rental by their towels :) Location was good - close to downtown Anacortes. Great house for families. It has a backyard with patio furniture. The beds were very comfortable. Neighborhood was quiet. Jody was easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!

Wonderful vacation - we enjoyed having our daughter and granddaughters come to visit

We could not have asked for anything better, so clean, wonderful accommodations. We didn't want for anything, instructions were very clear. We actually got to visit with our granddaughters and they came and made brownies with us. Being from the East Coast a treat I hope they won't forget. Thank you so much.
