The views from the outdoor seating area are top notch. Looking out across the sound every night at sunset was the perfect way to end the day. This was the perfect spot for our stay. Birds and deer every morning in the yard and on our way off and on the island as well. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay for our trip everything was perfect.

We had a wonderful stay for our anniversary. Despite the stormy weather we found it so cozy and relaxing. The view was beautiful. Everything was clean and the kitchen stocked with our basic needs. Jennelle was so kind to even purchase a pizza stone for us to use since we brought makings for homemade pizza on the BBQ. She was extremely quick to respond to our messages and friendly. We saw multiple deer and a bald eagle. One of our favorite getaway stays to date!

What an incredible view! Pictures can not do it any justice. The property is meticulously maintained and very private. Everything is clean and nicely organized. The patio was a great place to relax and take in the view. I love to cook and there was everything we needed. There's a 2 burner cooktop, microwave, toaster, grill, kettle, pots, pans, etc. The fridge is big enough for a week or so. We saw plenty of birds at the feeders with the water in the background. It was nice to grab the binoculars and check them out in the morning. We had such a relaxing week and would love to stay the next time we are back to visit from TN.
Beautiful sunsets
Expansive and breathtaking!
I could stay out here all day and just enjoy the view

We came in town to photograph a wedding and couldn’t believe how incredible this place was! The view from the hot tub of fireworks on 4th of July was beyond amazing. The space is beautifully appointed and the bird watching was a real treat. Did I mention the sunsets?!?! The best in the west!!

5 Star getaway

Absolutely our best vacation rental property ever and we've been blessed to stay at some good ones. From the beautiful home that is well built, very generously and thoughtfully equipped and decorated, to the outdoor seating, gas fire pit, and hot tub areas. The best part is without a doubt the views....Sunsets, Bald Eagles, Orcas, Dolphins, Deer and an assortment of other pretty birds. This property along with a very pleasant and easy to reach out to, owner make this a 5 star retreat.

This place is magical! Super comfy bed (we’re picky!), spotless and 5-star all the way. Mornings and sunsets in the hot tub with epic views and birds overhead—pure bliss. Huge shoutout to Jenelle for all the thoughtful touches—robes, slippers, even binoculars. Already dreaming of going back.
