The bedrooms were big and comfortable, there were multiple places to sit and read a book or enjoy a meal, and the hot tub was perfect for the chilly, rainy days. Sherri was very communicative during our stay. I can't recommend this place enough! ##### Marisa Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Therese H. 26 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Wow what an amazing home! Everything we needed and wanted for our stay was here. The beach was sandy and walkable in both directions. The out door space with the grill and fire table were perfect each evening. And the beds so comfy. Plenty of books and games and the decor was impeccable. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. ##### Therese H. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael D. 23 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We expected a nice property but were blown away with the serenity, beauty and privacy of this house. We spent a week here and everyday we woke up to a peaceful morning in nature and every evening we experienced magical evening light and unforgettable sunsets while watching the sea birds and seals just off shore. Thank you for sharing your special property with us. We also highly recommend contacting Kenmore Aviation for a seaplane tour and visiting other islands with them. The beauty of the San Juan’s from the air is incredible and it’s a short flight to Victoria BC. ![This was a wonderful property ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ae418d60-55be-43dc-a217-a417f0fd0360-1758644801319.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Sunset from the private deck](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/439af22c-d056-474f-a1d3-b49cb9ad7790-1758644790253.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![The beach in front of the property.
