It’s a perfect fit for young families, with plenty of space for playing games and exploring nature. As an FYI, it’s an older cabin with some quirky features, but our kids loved it. Would rent again.

Beautiful location. Came for Chief Seattle Days and was able to easily go back and forth to the events. We could even hear the POW Wow and watch the canoe races from the deck. House was functional but definitely needs some cleaning and repairs. The dishwasher was a challenge he. All in all we had a great trip. Loved the sunsets.
We had a wonderful time! Driving up to the house was like driving through a magical forest! So beautiful! The private path to the beach was used A LOT, as we enjoyed coming the beach and just enjoying the scenery. Our children fully utilized the pool table! Lots of fun! The only issue was that we found lots of roaches in the kitchen.

Pleasant stay.
Beautiful place, love the access to the beach and the calmness of the surroundings.We enjoy very much the pool table.
STayed here before our recent Alaskan Cruise. We had a great time , The property is beautiful , tucked away in the trees with water front access . We fished , Played pool , Enjoyed BBQing on the deck . Thank you for sharing your place .
The property was amazing. Trips on the ferry back and forth to Seattle were fun with the kids. The beach was a lovely place to look for shells and the house was perfect for what we needed. Thank you for an amazing stay.

Special time - Special place
Six of us spent 3 nights and parts of 4 days at this lovely home located on the waterfront of Agate Passage. The house was just perfect for our group - each couple had their own bedroom and the common area was conducive to family cooking, eating and conversation. We set up the card table as a jigsaw puzzle area and the pool table facilitated some spirited competition. The highlight was the deck and the view it afforded of the waterfront. We saw seals, heron, bald eagle and on two occasions we were treated to orca whale sightings. We enjoyed reading of the property's history, being in the family since the early 1900's and the many historic photos.And the property is located almost equidistant from Bainbridge and Poulsbo - and we made trips to each. Another nearby treat is the Fay Bainbridge Park with its large expanse of walkable beach. All in all, a wonderful time and we hope to have a chance to return
Was worried and set the bar so low for this home due to some not great reviews, well they are wrong, this house is beautiful and clean and the best location waterfront property!
It does have bany items, a high chair and crib but its not baby proofed.
Also bring water shoes for the water lots of shells to look for!
Emma was a great host! We would definitely stay here again! Firepit was wonderful and amazing view!!
Huge well appointed house in a lush forest, directly on the waterfront…a beautiful peaceful beach. Four bedroom house that sleeps 8 people. Absolutely perfect for two couples to split the cost. It was had to leave the house to explore the island which has many wonderful things to do, but we mostly wanted to chill, play a game of billiards on the pool table while we had the wood fireplace burning to keep us cozy…firewood supplied) wonderful living room to relax and watch movies on the big screen. Fully equipped kitchen. Dining room table with waterfront views, and outside wrap around deck, have a glass of wine watching the sunset. They also have a fire pit outside! We grilled oysters on the gas BBQ outside. Truly a wonderful place to relax! Attentive owner and property manager to text with any questions

Great house for family holiday
Great location and view. Nice areas for eating and socializing. Kids loved having a pool table in the living area! It was perfect for Thanksgiving. Kitchen had everything we needed. On the downside: it was hard to find (directions need updating); code to the door was incorrect and we were locked out for a bit; property manager changes during our stay and was unresponsive; not thoroughly cleaned (moldy coffee maker, dirty carpet); needs some updates/repairs (upstairs shower doesn't work, some shades are broken and don't provide privacy), some new beds were super comfy and others really need new mattresses.
Although this sounds like a lot - we would stay there again. House has tons of charm and was easy to live in. Clearly someone's cherished family vacation spot.

Beautiful property on agate bay but needs some work.
Property is beautiful but house needs some updating and better cleaning. Dishwasher doesn’t open all the way so it’s very hard to do dishes. Place was pretty dirty overall and killed several cockroaches in the kitchen during our stay. Several Pool balls were missing so it was hard to play a proper game. Wish I had known this and would have just brought a set.

Hi Conor, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We genuinely appreciate your feedback, and the homeowner would like to share the following:-Regarding the pool balls, we want to assure you that had our property manager or the owner been informed at the beginning of your stay, we would have promptly replaced them without delay.-As for the dishwasher, we understand your frustration. Unfortunately, it is located in the only available space, but we have made a note of this in the guest book to assist future guests.-Regarding the unexpected encounter with insects or mice, we want to sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. We have installed several sonar plug-ins in the kitchen and throughout the house to prevent such occurrences, and we have never received reports of sightings before. We deeply regret that you had this experience.Our commitment to providing an exceptional stay remains steadfast, and we eagerly anticipate hosting many more satisfied guests.

BEAUTIFUL!!!
So happy to be able to stay for the weekend. Was just me and my best friend but the house has FOUR bedrooms, so it can sleep 8 and the total amount paid per night is really affordable if it’s two couple. Location was in lush forests, and the house is perched over a nice quiet beach and waterfront. You can definitely get a nice tan on the beach littered by bleached cam shells, and the water is clear! Access to the beautiful beach is by a set of wood stairs that have driftwood type of rails. Inside the house, AWESOME and cozy! We played on the pool table while the wood fireplace was going. (The house has heat, but you can’t beat a fireplace!) kitchen is completely stocked, bathrooms were supplied with shampoo/body wash. Loved the water view rooms and wrap around porches with chairs to watch the sunset with wine. I loved cooking in the kitchen. We never went to any restaurants because it’s nicer to cook at home. And a few stairs down, they have an outdoor firepit! The house also has a hot tub inside but we were too busy chilling on the big comfy couch watching movies. The large screen TV lost its internet, but the house WiFi was running and we just used our laptop to project Netflix to the large screen TV. We did visit the Japanese Internment camp memorial, a winery and bought oysters to grill on the BBQ. It’s very quiet and peaceful at the house but the island has many things to do, but for us the highlight was the beach. (And of course, the house!) The owner and property manager were kind and very responsive to any texts we sent for questions.

Location was fantastic -
This was a fantastic location and great beach access. Plenty of room for a group of girlfriends looking for a fun long weekend. Plenty of seating, lighting and bedrooms. As noted, very easy access to the a deserted beach area.
The house, as noted in previous comments, has not been cleaned thoroughly in some time. There was hair in an upstairs shower, cobwebs, the dishes were dirty, and the tablecloth looked like it had gone to war with spaghetti and lost.
While we were sent check in instructions, they were not accurate, and we had to contact the property manager, who did respond after our second attempt at contact.
The other negative we had was the 10a.m. check-out, which was my fault as I did not review that until the day before we left. All other homes I have rented had an 11a checkout.
For the money being charged, I would recommend extending check out one hour and getting a company in that actually cleans. The house would then be 5 stars.

Hi Kirsten, we’re so glad you enjoyed the fantastic location and great beach access, but we’re sorry other aspects fell short of expectations. After sending your feedback to the owner, they’d like to share the following:
-Thank you for choosing to stay in my Bainbridge Island, Washington home and leaving a review, as guest feedback is vitally important to the success of my vacation rental business.
-The cleaners take pride in making sure that the home is cleaned upon your arrival. I wish you would have reached out during your stay, as I would've been more than happy to send our cleaning team back to address your concerns to make your stay most comfortable. I will bring your feedback to the attention of my cleaning crew!
-I am sorry that you had issues accessing the home, but happy to have assisted you to successfully enter the property. I sincerely apologize for the miscommunication as well as the inconvenience this may have caused.
-Check-out time is set to allow cleaners adequate time to prepare the property for the next incoming guests. When it's possible, I will grant an early check-in or a late check-out to accommodate my guests.
I'd love the chance to provide you with a truly 5-star travel experience, so please let me know if there’s anything I can do to help the next time that you book a vacation rental.

Needs updates and repairs
Me and some girl friends stayed at the house for the weekend. Me and one other girl arrived first, when we arrived there were dirty socks on the porch, there were keys in the door but the door was not locked. The walkway from the gravel (where you park) to the house was so mossy and slippery bringing our bags and food inside was a little dangerous (the front deck was also so slippery but there was a railing to hold). The fridge doesn't have a handle or rails on the door so there is about a quarter of the storage because you can't store anything in the door. The dishwasher can't open all the way so loading it was not easy..... actually frustrating. The part of the cabinets that you use to open door is so dirty... like years and years and years of use dirty. It was really gross to open the cabinet and get a plate out, after you open the door you feel like you need to wash your hands. The living room décor is very dated (which is fine) but almost all of us sneezed when we sat on the couch or chairs in the livingroom. I washed every plate and cup before we used them because none of them were really clean. The pots and pans were so used and really really really need to be replaced.
PRO- location location location. It is tucked back and the views were great. Although the windows were so oxyidated you couldn't enjoy the view from the livingroom. The beds were also comfortable. The beach access was 10/10.
I also received a text from the owner (not the location host) and you can tell that the family is very very connected to the memories made in the house to the point that they may not be able to update the house with fear that the memories made over the years will be lost. The photos do not depict how dated the cabin is which is mildly frustrating.
Although we had an amazing time I will not ever return.

Manage your expectations
Pros -
- Waterfront property nicely tucked way back off an already quiet road with easy access to the beach.
- Water views of Agate Pass from the bedrooms, living/dining, and main level deck.
- Recent reviews are pretty accurate and should properly set (low) expectations - somebody apparently read them as there were newer plastic Adirondack chairs and good batteries in all the flashlights.
- Generous cancelation policy.
Cons -
- Parking area and surrounding yard are a mass of weeds and overgrown brush.
- The area under the deck which is visible from the fire pit has a bunch of scattered debris and beach toys.
- The upper deck is off limits due to its deteriorated state - inexcusable in my opinion for a waterfront rental.
- Biggest issue is lack of timely communication. The out-of-state owners have the property managed by Evolve. First message to Evolve with a question about the property was finally answered 3 weeks later with "contact the local host, Heather". Emails to the local host then went unanswered as well. The day before arrival, I emailed both the property manager and the local host about check-in instructions again with no reply. After finally texting the local host at 10:30 the night before arrival, she replied quickly with the door code. (The door with the key code buttons is on the left side of the house by the way.)
Summary -
- Just to reiterate what another reviewer said, there are NOT 3 full baths as the listing incorrectly states. There are only 2 1/2 baths: full master bath and a hall powder room on main level; full hallway bath on 2nd floor.
- Also previously mentioned in the reviews, fridge still has no door handle or interior door shelving limiting its usability for larger/longer gatherings.
- Yes, it's very dated with a ton of deferred maintenance, but the bedrooms were comfortable enough for sleeping, and we spent most of our time anyway on the main deck when we were there.
- The yard is now much more overgrown than reflected in the exterior photos, and the round glass table and dark green plastic chairs in the photos are no longer there. Other than that, you can pretty well see what you’re signing up for.

Clint, we want all of our guests to rest easy when they stay with us, and we're sorry that you experienced some issues during your trip. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
-We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the quiet location and great water views the property has to offer.
-We have had set arrangments for the deck to be repaired in mid-September; we have been waiting for this project since March. Unfortunately, you were not able to benefit from this since you stayed in August. We apologize for how this may have disappointed you and other guests.
-Thank you for bringing these landscaping issues to our attention. We will address these concerns with our service to promote greater maintenance of the outdoor space.
-We have updated our listing to reflect the correct number of full and half baths.
-We will have our service address the issues with the fridge that you have mentioned.
-The glass table and plastic chairs you are referring to were replaced a while ago; we will make sure this is reflected in our listing.
We would also like to apologize for how your experience with us here at Evolve was less than satisfactory. Our goal is to make vacation rental easy for everyone, and we're very sorry that we missed the mark. We've addressed your feedback with the necessary teams here so that these issues can be prevented going forward. Thank you again for providing such valuable feedback.

Lots of Potential but Falls Short
The location of this property is really cool with fantastic scenery. It seems to us, however, that the property owners are not doing enough to maintain the home/property considering the cost of renting the place. As we scroll back and read others' reviews, we found many of the same issues:
* dirty, stained, out-dated carpets
* an upper deck that is off limits due to disrepair
* kitchen cook/bakeware is very limited and old
* The wilderness feel of the place is fantastic but overgrown. It seems like no maintenance to the property is being done.
* For the cost of this rental, I would look elsewhere until this place gets updated.

This was such a disappointment. Let me start my saying view and location is fabulous! But the home is very dated. Kitchen needs a complete update fridge had no handle, inside door no racks. The pantry is dated with old kitchen utensils and pans. We had a total of 6 towels in the house for a week stay with 6 adults. Carpets had large stains throughout. Bathroom rugs had not been wash before we arrived. Sheets were clean but very old. Upstairs decking couldn't use because of signs saying danger keep off. No screens on widows upstairs. So called fire pit had a plastic crate for a chair , second deck going down to beach had 2 old plastic chairs and a use wagon. There has been no maintenance what so ever on the entry or walkways. Vrbo was very prompt in handling are complaints and towels were delivered the next morning. It could have been so much better if a little care was given to this beautiful location .
