Great location! Very peaceful, off the beaten path. The view was beautiful! The lodge was spacious and clean. It would be perfect if there was a place to hang clothes in the closet. Otherwise, highly recommend renting this house! Eldon with vrbo was very responsive and helpful with all our questions!

This is a great location. Just a few miles out of town and right on the water with a beautiful view. Got to see the cruise ships pass by right in front of the house along with a small helipad not far to the side. We enjoyed watching them take off and land. The house was clean and kitchen well stocked for cooking. The entrance to the house is through the door near upper garage which was a little confusing at first but we figured it out! Would stay here again.

This vrbo was perfect. The view from the living room and back deck was beautiful. It was clean when we arrived and was perfectly accommodating with everything we needed. You can access the dock from the house and enjoy hanging out watching the boats and eagles. We saw several seals and even a whale. The washer and dryer came in very handy. There is a local Walmart very close that came in handy for the things we wanted throughout the stay. The location was awesome being an equal distance from either the north or south end of the island. The host was so easy to work with. From the moment we booked until the hours before we left, he was super prompt when answering any and all our questions. We would definitely return to this place!
