Hot Tub / Home Theater / Private Acre / Walk to Beach / Family and Dog friendly

New Upgrades April 2025 - Hot tub, home theater & design refresh! Just a 9 minute walk to Pritchard Beach & 10 minute drive to downtown Winslow. Lots of natural light and spacious rooms for your family - including your pup.

We bought this home more than 20 years ago when we were just kids and Mark got a job as a naturalist at IslandWood, the environmental education center on the island. Over the years, we have put a lot of love into it and are continually working to provide the most comfortable, relaxing stay we can for you.

While we have made many upgrades, like the new hot tub and home theater added in 2025, it is not "Bainbridge Perfect," nor would we ever want it to be. We want it to be a nice, large, home-away-from-home where you feel comfortable letting your kids and dogs run around, and you can enjoy the sounds of birds in the morning and the quiet footsteps of deer in the yard. In other words, we want it to be the kind of place WE would want to stay with our family and our husky.

When there is sunlight here in the northwest, it will stream in the big windows in the comfortable living room. A fully-stocked kitchen connected to the dining room/sitting area makes entertaining easy and enjoyable. The living room opens to a back deck with a grill and table, and stairs descend into the 1 acre yard for the ultimate in indoor/outdoor living. Three bedrooms and the bathroom complete the upstairs space.

The SEMI-FINISHED BASEMENT is a kids dream with a full rec room featuring a foosball table, cozy couches and a 100" pull-down screen and projector (bring a laptop with an HDMI port to take full advantage of it). The fourth and fifth bedrooms, second bath, and a full size washer/dryer complete the downstairs. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE BASEMENT BEDROOMS ARE IN THE BASEMENT AND ARE, AS A RESULT, NOT AS LIGHT AND AIRY AS THE UPSTAIRS BEDROOMS. They are comfortable and functional, and we have tried to set appropriate expectations, but some people still seem to be surprised.

You are minutes from the beach at Pritchard Park, as well as multiple open-space trails.

Hot tub:
* The hot tub is cleaned every Tuesday. The technician will go directly to the back yard and is usually finished within about 15 minutes.
* To adjust the temperature, press the "up" or "down" arrow.

Lawn maintenance:
The landscapers will mow the lawn and clear the walkways every other week. They usually try to do their work on weekdays and are usually finished within about 30 minutes.

Location:
This house is a 9-minute walk to the beach at waterfront Pritchard Park where you can watch the ferry come into Eagle Harbor, and visit the Japanese Internment Memorial (for summer of 2025, access to Pritchard Beach is from the Memorial parking lot). Or, a short 11-minute drive gets you to the Seattle Ferry terminal and boutique downtown Winslow where you can enjoy shopping, summer concerts, restaurants, pubs, and a grocery store. You are also close to many island trails, wineries, Lynwood Center’s movie theater and shops.

About the host

Hosted by Mark Jordahl or Devin Hibbard

Host profile image
As a family, we (Devin, Mark, and sons Nile and Japhy) have split our lives between the United States and Uganda in East Africa. Devin's career has focused on poverty eradication and international development work, and Mark has worked at the intersection of wildlife conservation and travel. As frequent users of VRBO and AirBNB ourselves, usually traveling with our kids and our husky, we have tried to make this home a comfortable and welcoming space. In other words, we have tried to create the kind of place WE would want to stay.

Why they chose this property

We feel so fortunate that we bought this house in this spot 20 years ago. We wouldn't want to live anywhere else on the island. We love this quiet, tree-fill neighborhood. The neighbors are great, we love walking down to the off-leash, dog-friendly Pritchard Beach, it has quick access to Winslow and Lynnwood Center, and the pace of life just feels slower than other places.

What makes this property unique

This is a large, comfortable house on an acre of nature-filled land. The newly-added hot tub and home theater (2025) will enhance your stay. There is abundant natural light in the house and the large, fenced front yard offers plenty of space for pups and kids to lay.
