A fantastic location, very peaceful and quiet side of the island. We loved sitting on the front lawn and the beach. We took a scenic walk into Lynnwood Village and took the kayaks out. Kitchen was well appointed, nice bedding and plenty of towels.

This was the perfect place to stay for our family. The afternoons were our most favorite. The water was still and the sun was beaming. The perfect afternoon hang on the deck or beach to watch the sun go down after our busy days. A beautiful spot. The apartment/home was clean and well cared for. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need to prepare meals, pop popcorn for movies, and make coffee. I particularly enjoyed the wonderful William Morris linens and the design. The host was very friendly and communicative and check in and check out was a breeze. Thank you!

A truly beautiful, peaceful, and tranquil accommodation and location. We had an excellent time. The host was very communicative and helped us enjoy a wonderful vacation. We enjoyed the well-appointed kitchen and the amenities provided in a clean and contemporary unit. It was very relaxing and we had many calm strolls by the waterfront. Stores and restaurants were not far away, and we explored the forests, parks, and tourist sites of Bainbridge Island.

Family Christmas on Bainbridge

Beautiful location. This lower level is cute, cozy and clean. Loved the little gas fireplace and fully stocked kitchen. Beds were very comfortable. Be aware you have to walk through the queen bedroom to get to the twin bedroom and only bathroom. Not ideal for us with our adult children but the other features made up for it. Lotus was quite responsive. Would stay again depending on the other guests involved. Happy New Year.

I loved waking up in the big bed & looking out at the water, hearing the waves lapping. Going to bed at night was also delightful, seeing the lights on the opposite shore. High quality bed linens, comfy mattress & pillows. I had some issues with the WiFi & they bright WiFi boosters over that solved it, very responsive. I may have been their first guest of the season & arrived to a broken table on front porch, cleaning there needed. Again, great response & someone was sent over to take care of it plus mow the lawn. I've told all my friends how delightful my stay was!

We had a great stay at this house and truly couldn’t beat the view! The house was stocked with everything we needed and communication with Michelle, our host, was super quick and easy :) Loved the nice little touch of having clean bath robes to use, hanging in each bedroom:) we would definitely recommend staying here when you’re on Bainbridge Island!
