It is a very nice location next to the sound, with amazing view of Seattle, even on a gloomy winter day. It is about 15 minute drive from downtown Bainbridge so very convenient. The house is clean and good size for family with little children. The sofa bed could use new sheets. We didn’t want to change sheets so we ended up not using it. The kitchen is equipped with a good number of plates and bowl, so we were able to heat up the food we brought from restaurants. This is an older house - one of the beds squeaks a little, but it is not a big problem to us. Appreciate many towels in there. Though we did not rent the lower level this time, there was a note about it being available for rental too, and I imagine it would be nice to BBQ with friends on the patio in summer, so we may come back with friends.

I am very familiar with Bainbridge Island. The location is wonderful and the view is second to none. The reviews state the home is dated, so I expected that, but the home is comfortable. The listing however is deceptive, and in fact the photos and the description, changed just before we check-in, which was odd. The garage is a construction zone. No garage access. Driveway full of construction materials and a port-o-potty. All not disclosed. The home is the upper level of a two story house. Not disclosed. The interior stairs lead to the lower level which is locked off. When I asked the prop manager if the bottom unit was occupied, they would not answer. So we are in a home where someone on the lower level can get into our area without knowledge. Not disclosed and unsafe. The “beach access” is down a path with a “No Trespassing” sign and leads to the lower level of the home. But there is no path, so you have to cross the lower level deck or manage through the overgrown yard and under a tree. Despite asking about clarification about beach access, we were reminded twice not to access the lower level “amenities”. Confusing. We bought 200 worth of food to cook, with no BBQ, despite being noted in the listing. The queen “pull out” couch was not that at all, rather a futon cushion on the floor. Multiple pest traps and rodents were visible outside but not inside. The view is amazing. The house is fine. Disclosure and transparency was awful. Had I other options, I’d seek a refund.

Overall, it was more of the location than the home itself. Absolutely loved the view of the Seattle skyline. Home could use some updating, especially the carpet. I'd recommend staying here with more than 2 people to make it more worth the while.

Beautiful spot on Bainbridge Island

We had an absolute wonderful stay here. The house was perfect for my family of 4. Beds were comfortable, there was enough kitchen supplies for us to make food, and the place was very clean. But the view is why we fell in love with this house. The house is right on the ocean and you have a direct view of the Seattle skyline. We spent hours just looking out at the ocean and even were lucky enough to spot some otters. It was absolutely fabulous and I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Almost perfect

The whole reason I booked at this house was for the beach and when I arrived there was a sign saying to access the beach you have to contact someone and pay 100 a day which is ridiculous and the back yard was so over grown it would be difficult to even try but the house sits on the beach so it just disappointed me but Other than that it was nice and secluded very clean and comfortable
Response from VrboOwner on 19 June 2025
Hello Emily, thank you for your feedback. I’m glad you found the home clean, comfortable, and secluded. I’m sorry for the confusion about beach access and the backyard. The $100 fee is for mooring a boat, not beach access. There is a gate and path off the driveway for free beach access, and our team would have gladly assisted during your stay. The yard has since been mowed. We appreciate your input and hope to host you again for a better experience.

Beautiful and peaceful. We sat on the porch and watched a family of otters swim around and then climb the rocks. We went down to the rocky beach at low tide. It was amazing. The kitchen is well stocked. We were able to cook dinner there and breakfast easily. The beds were comfortable… and it was nice that it also had a pull out porch. The beds and decorating are basic. But we were comfortable and happy. The view is the best feature of all. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Pre Thanksgiving gathering

After reading the reviews both good and bad I decided to give this place a chance. Yes it was dated… something’s did not work as well had it been a newer place. A garage should not have been advertised unless there was instructions to access it. A few disclosures would have been nice however the spaciousness of the space and that incredible view made up for anything that was lacking. Our three night stay was very relaxing. Sure beats staying in a cramped motel.!!

Bainbridge Island home

The house is located with a perfect view of Puget Sound and the Seattle skyline. You could sit in front of the big picture windows all day and watch the changing scenery - including birds, otters and even a coyote on the beach. The bedrooms were comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. A couple of issues - despite a description of ‘beach access’ there is no safe way to get to the beach in front of the house. We did end up carefully crawling down the rocks and basically trespassed in a neighbor’s yard to get safely back up. Also the sun deck off the kitchen needs some repairs. The deck boards had seen better days, and it didn’t feel sturdy to sit out there for long. Also - would recommend some type of shades for the picture windows because it gets very hot in the living room (even in April) when the sun comes out.

The stay that didn't happen

We were unable to stay at the property at all due to a previous guest who was still there when we arrived and they refused to leave. Police were called by property management, but the previous guest had also caused damage, so our reservation was canceled. Still trying to sort out with the property manager to get the refund, as there is miscommunication between their main office and local property management. We would have loved to be able to say we had a pleasant stay in this VRBO, and we understand that the property owner could not have foreseen that a previous guest would be so horrible, I just wish we weren't waiting in the dark for them to refund our payment.

A Sorely Neglected Property

Where do I start? Let me first say that the view is wonderful, and the property is close to both Ferry dock and Winslow shops/restaurants. However-- the railing on the steps down to the property was our first sign of neglect. The left side was not secured to the concrete and was quite unstable. The photos do not show the two sets of stone steps that lead to the ramp (which is pictured). Not accessible for anyone with mobility issues-- stairs should be photographed and disclosed. Also the "beach access" really only exists if you are a mountain goat. There is no path do the beach-- just an unmaintained ledge that drops off. The property is a striking contrast to its neighbors. There were other safely issues--the stairway betw the levels has no railing-- and the threshold on the top stair is loose with an inch gap (an accident waiting to happen). The bathtub/shower is molded plastic-- with no bathmat in tub, and no grab bars. Other areas of neglect: The bedroom screens were so dirty you cannot see through them. I don't want to blame this on housekeeping who are likely doing their job-- it's just that the property is so neglected there are isn't much to work with. The VRBO as says "updated kitchen". Huh?? Maybe in the 1970's. But the worst was finding mouse droppings in the kitchen drawers-- and this was in the upper unit. I see from prior reviews that many of these issues have been reported previously, and still exist.
