It’s luxurious, and has everything you will need for your stay. We enjoyed the house and exploring the island. We walked the beach, saw tons of birds, seals, ships, and fisherman. We held our breath to see the orcas pods the locals told us about, but it wasn’t in the cards for us this time. There are beautiful parks and hikes. The island hs many local artists with beautiful shops and excellent restaurants.We will definitely be back!!! ##### kari h.
