This house was the ideal location. The house has a beautiful view over the water to Raft Island. We loved watching the tides come and go. The deck off the back is huge and a lovely place to sit and watch the view, read books, barbecue, and just hang out. The inside is so comfortable, with a large living room and large dining table and complete kitchen facilities. The beds are super comfy. We found lots of places within 30-40 minutes to put our kayak in and explore. We loved our whole week here and have signed up again for next year. ##### Gwen H.

Beds were a bit small but very comfy. The extra cottage was convenient and made for extra room however it had a very strong musty smell that we could not get rid of, most notably in the bottom level and especially in the bathroom/hot water heater area. The main house has no odor. Being right on the water with a beautiful view of the mountains made it a great place to stay - seal watching was a highlight. ##### Bob C.

The space was also comfortable and worked well for a family get together. Unfortunately it was managed by vacasa and I did NOT have a good experience with them. Poor and impersonal communication leading up to the rental and I had to call them when we arrived because they only provided the code to enter one of the two houses. They seemed to do the bare minimum to keep both houses running between rentals. There were notes on several of the windows saying that they were broken and not to open them - in areas that were hot and stuffy, where opening a window could have helped. We also had to spend a lot of time cleaning off the back deck before we could use it - it was totally covered in pine needles, like it hadn't been blown off in weeks. Outdoor furniture was old and tattered and the gate surrounding the yard and entry to the water was completely rusted and falling apart. Overall, we had a nice time with our family here, but the rental was expensive and should have been in better shape. Based on this experience, I would also rather deal direct with the home owner than a property manager such as vacasa in the future. ##### Cameron S. Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ---
