Five family members stayed here over the Fourth of July weekend, and the only downside was the loud music with heavy bass from an outdoor event in the park across the street the evening of July 5th. My husband proclaimed it the best rental of any we've been in. The beds are super comfortable, and with two of them being king-sized, even those who normally have their own beds (like two of our daughters) can share with no problem. The water pressure of the shower is excellent, and the bathroom was well stocked with thick towels. The kitchen had plenty of utensils, plates, and cups (along with pots and pans and the like), so that we were able to have multiple meals before running the dishwasher. And there were boxes of tissues in various rooms--we're a family that appreciates having access to tissues. :) Although we didn't use the backyard much, it's fenced in and offers a sense of privacy. Jessica responded quickly to a query we made and was very clear about procedures for checking in and checking out. The neighborhood is great for walks; the Fred Meyer grocery store is only a 6-minute drive away; and in Edmonds, less than 15 minutes away, there are distinctive shops, lovely water views, and a ferry ride to Kingston that we all enjoyed. The food at The Rusty Pelican in Edmonds is excellent; the prices may seem high but the portions are large. Our daughters also raved about the Molly Moon's, a homemade ice cream shop there.
