As advertised. My only issue is the significant inconvenience of the ferry. If you plan to stay on the island and rarely leave, all is good. If you plan for daily excursions, the ferry to and from is a major inconvenience.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for confirming that the home was as advertised. The island offers a unique getaway, and we understand that ferry access is an important consideration for guests planning frequent trips off the island. Clear expectations around transportation are important when planning a stay, and we appreciate you highlighting this aspect for future guests. We’re glad you enjoyed the property and had the opportunity to experience all that the island has to offer.

This was a great remote location for a family vacation. Because of the recent closure of the general store, it does create a bit more remoteness. Maybe a better equipped kitchen or letting the guests know what they need to bring, i.e., foil, plastic wrap and coffee pods and more kitchen trash bags. Maybe this should be spelled out to the guests in greater detail as there is no place to buy these. That being said, It's a great place. My grandkids loved making the trek down to the water and spent hours beachcombing! The bathrooms are small and the 2nd one needs updating. We loved the big, long dining table and spent hours playing games! We also spent hours on the lawn playing the frisbee game! Thanks so much!

Great view of the sound and loved the beach access. Sunsets were phenominal. Ferry schedule was a little tough to navigate, but it was around July 4th. The place allowed the great breeze to keep the cabin cool.

Comfy stay - responsive host

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was comfortable. And the host was available to help us with any questions. The views of Puget Sound were great - we could see Orcas in the distance. The provided kayaks were nice to have. Also enjoyed the fire pit. A very beautiful spot.

Gorgeous home

We couldn’t imagine a more beautiful property for our stay on Anderson island. The house is clean and has all of the needed amenities. The hot tub was a nice addition to sleepy mornings and restful evenings. We would book again in a heartbeat.

Always a great time

Our second time staying here and loved it! It’s so quiet and secluded with a gorgeous view. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen well stocked, and the property is adorable. Took one star off of cleanliness due to the hot tub being a little murky, but it didn’t detract from our overall stay.

We booked our stay here for my son’s 16th birthday and we had an incredible and relaxing weekend. This cabin has all the amenities plus more. The surf shack was a fun hang out spot for the teens at night. We will never forget our memories made here relaxing by the fire, kayaking and just enjoying nature. Thank you so much!

Mom’s Trip

A great weekend away for a group of mom friend’s. We had a couple issues that the owners took care of almost immediately. The beds were very comfortable. We would totally recommend staying here! Just know there are LOTS of stairs (over 100) to get to the beach. But worth it!
