If sunlight is your fancy, this beautiful ranch-style home is the one for you. The large windows throughout the house boast ocean and bay views, and the expansive deck that surrounds the house is a perfect place to wind down after your busy day in Eastsound. The wood floors, granite countertops and professional piano perfectly accentuate the gorgeous views outside, and the kitchen and living room both have everything you need to feel right at home.
What's nearby:
This home is right in between Turtleback Mountain Preserve and Moran State Park, so wildlife sightings are almost a guarantee no matter what time of year you are visiting. It is also a short drive into the town of Eastsound, where the local restaurants and shopping are second to none.
Things to know:
Free WiFi
Full kitchen (dishwasher)
Extra table/folding chairs available
Parking notes: There is free parking available for 4 vehicles.

The Damage Waiver covers you for up to $3,000 of accidental damage to the Property or its contents (such as furniture, fixtures, and appliances) as long as you report the incident to the host prior to checking out.
