Quiet Seaside getaway with fantastic views!!!

We really enjoyed this spot! Beautiful view of the ocean and very conveniently located on the island. Close enough to town to be convenient but far enough away be quiet and relaxing. The owner did lots of thoughtful and convenient things to make our stay wonderful! We will be staying here again at some point and definitely recommending it to friends!

Amazing sunset views and thoughtful touches!

The couple who owns the property takes very good care of their place. It’s clean, warm, welcoming, and so many wonderfully thoughtful touches! We will absolutely be back for a longer stay next time we’re on the island. And the sunset was incredible to watch from the back yard!

Beauty at the beach

Beautiful view of Puget Sound from the windows. The owner provided some staples so we were able to make dinner and breakfast. Her instructions were simple and clear. If I have the opportunity to stay here again, I certainly would.

No sleep

The property was clean. The check in process was easy. Good views. But…this is a part of the house that’s been converted and you can hear every step made in the other apartment. Lots of noise all night. The pillows were very flat and used up. There were no sheets on either bed. Just a flat sheet and an empty duvet cover. We use Vrbo often and this is the first time I’ve encountered beds that weren’t fully made up. No linens to fully make them up. We didn’t get any sleep while we were there. Between the uncomfortable pillows and no sheets on the bed and the noise upstairs. We were on our honeymoon and moved on quickly the next day to find somewhere to get some sleep.

Why they chose this property

The ocean, nature, calm and quiet neighbourhood, eco friendly gardening and close proximity to beaches and national parks made me choose this neighbourhood…

What makes this property unique

The eagles that glide and dance in tandem with the breeze, the quail family that flutter across the garden greeting warmly, the calming sound of the ocean waves embracing the cliff, and the glorious flowers that pop up to greet you in a daily basis are rare features encompassing this property
