What a wonderful white Christmas! We had a difficult time getting to Anacortes from Nashville. (flight delays, snow, ice and cancellations) but it was worth it to get to this house and be with family for the holiday. Everything has been beautiful and full of "family" details that are provided. You have a great house here and it would be a pleasure to return. Betty

We came here for the Oyster Run weekend. The house is fantastic! Everything was provided. The views of the Islands & Sound are beautiful. A telescope or binoculars might be a nice touch. Thomas & Elisabeth are very accommodating. What a great weekend for a motorcycle trip on the Oyster Run. We explored the area on Saturday, fantastic! Dave & Dana Malhala Gig Harbor, WA Cliff & Connie Matteson Hood Canal, WA We will be back here again next year for the 2009 Oyster Run. This house was very comfortable and fit our needs perfectly also. Rod & Diane Canary, Puyallup, WA

We could have stayed anywhere for our "old" college friends reunion week. This house gave us conveniences to make our stay a break from home... plus we had a beautiful view of the Sound at the same time. Thank you

Ahoy, Captain Jim's was a GREAT place to stay. We'd never been up here before & it made it that much more enjoyable. The view in the morning is absolutely spectacular! Although I did get lost once (ha)the layout and furnishings were nicer than my own house. I can only hope to stay again. Hannah
