Fantastic Location, perfect place for an Anacortes getaway!
Our family of 5 found this place charming, clean and ideal for our trip to visit Anacortes. We loved being able to walk the downtown area. Would stay there again:)
Quiet, convention location. House is old, has had lots of pets, and smells it. Bedrooms do not have windows that open ...they have window a/c units that you must run to get air into the rooms, otherwise very stuffy. Those units make a lot of noise affecting sleep.

Place was clean and stocked. Customer service quickly resolved issue with parking at checkin. Only downside was having just 1 bathroom.

Great little place so close to both town and the marina and of course walking distance to all restaurants. The only downside is a VERY steep staircase to get to bedrooms and bathroom but it has good handrails and is doable is you really hang on.

Great home right in downtown Anacortes
Stayed here as a last minute getaway with my daughter. I loved that the farmers market was right at the end of the alley behind the home. Restaurants and fun shops were just a short walk away. Home was well appointed and comfortable. Having the air conditioners in the bedrooms was fantastic as there was a bit of a late summer heat wave while we were there.
The location couldn’t be any better. Close to the bicycle path and close to downtown. A really nice coffee shop was about 100 yards from the front door. Kudos to the cleaning crew, the place was immaculate.
We were happy to find this little house available last minute for a quick weekend away. As others have said, the living room is quite small, it would benefit from less furniture. The staircase is steep but the rooms upstairs are spacious. It is not clear that part of the house is boarded off as a separate rental. Close to many restaurants within walking distance. Cute house with nicely kept yard.
Anacortes is a quaint area with great places to eat and shop. The house is only blocks away from the Main strip making it the perfect location. Unit is perfect for 4 adults. Kitchen is upgraded and everything is labeled so it’s easy to work in. Will definitely plan on visiting again in the summer months when we can do additional hiking in Deception Pass State Park.
We have stayed here before, and liked it enough to return. We enjoy the location, which is near the funky downtown, shopping and restaurants, farmers market, as well as a marina and trails. It’s got some bustle but is quiet at night.
Might not appeal to everyone, as there’s industrial/wharves/slightly sketchy areas tucked in there.

Polly, we are pleased to hear you enjoyed your visit! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your valuable feedback with us. We passed your comments along to our local manager for review, and we appreciate guests’ preferences as a means to continually improve. We look forward to hosting your next stay!
We enjoyed our stay. The location was so convenient for an easy walk around and so close to the event we were attending.
The house is so nice and ( one exception) it was clean and comfortable for the whole family.
I do intend to stay there again if it’s available next year.
The exception that kept me from giving 5 stars was the very strong urine, probably dog urine smell coming from mostly one upstairs bedroom.
That said we still really liked our stay at Mariner’s rest.

Charming little house
We’ve stayed here before, so clearly we like the place. The house has a nice maritime feel to it. Good kitchen and a little breakfast nook. Has a backyard that’s fenced.
It’s in a location we like because it’s in the old town shopping district and is near great walking paths and the marina. Every morning you’ll wake up to the sound of screaming gulls. Not a bad thing, in my opinion.

Close to downtown
Just a short walk to downtown stores and restaurants. My only complaint was the dog hair in the living room. Looked like someone forgot to vacuum the carpet, hardwood and dust the dog hair off the tables etc. also smelled like dog in the living room.

Our favorite place to stay in Anacortes..
Incredible charming home, host and location. The backyard is a wonderful spot for a bbq and the front stoop is a perfect place to sit next to a beautiful apple tree. It’s within walking distance to everything but tucked away enough to relax. The home does have another unit attached but the way it is designed it feels like it stands alone. A large family was staying in the attached unit but we didn’t notice or hear them until they were packing their car to leave. We did not bring our dogs but next visit we may, very dog friendly. We can’t think of one negative- it is a historic home so the stairs to the second story are a climb if you have an older traveler or toddler but that is the only thing we could think of.. and pretty common for most two story homes in Anacortes. Highly recommend.

Great location but not suited for stays longer than an extended weekend. We stayed for 9 days. Weather turned cold and discovered the heat vent was in the ceiling so upstairs was warm, downstairs took awhile. Dryer stopped working and we ended up with a load of wet clothes we spread around the backyard to dry. Had to buy more toilet paper ourselves, no stock on hand. Kitchen pans were so badly gouged and scratched I had to buy a frying pan so we could cook. We reached out to property manager but no response.
