Our time at Karen’s property was amazing! The view is absolutely outstanding and the property is located in a very quiet and peaceful neighborhood which is also centrally located on the West side- perfect for viewing all the sites. Sitting on the beautiful deck taking in the view of the water was worth the entire trip to the island! And Karen is the perfect host. She was very attentive to our needs and responded to our questions almost immediately.

The host was great! Quickly responded to emails before the trip and during our stay. The photos don’t do the place justice - it surpassed our expectations! The location was great - we enjoyed sitting on the deck looking out on the water, and it was close to Lime Kiln and Roche Harbor. We appreciated having access to the Discover Pass that allowed us to park at Lime Kiln and Cattle Point so we could explore a bit.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The hot tub was a wonderful treat and the view was outstanding in every weather. The bed is very high (i.e., you climb a step stool two steps to get in and out). so that took some getting used to, but it was very comfortable and the height allowed for a beautiful view to sea. We hope to return.
