The open-concept living area includes a modern kitchen with bar seating, a dining space, and cozy lounge with a propane fireplace and smart TV. Kitchen amenities include a waffle maker, toaster, and popcorn machine. Outdoor cooking is a breeze with a propane BBQ and crab cooker, and yard games like cornhole add to the fun.

The house was wonderful in every aspect and was perfect for six of us. I have stayed in many VRBOs, and this was definitely a 10 out of 10. Communication with our host was excellent, the amenities were as described, the location near Roche Harbor was convenient, the view beautiful! I hope to return one day!

The property is wonderful: great views of Neil Bay, quiet, lots of privacy, yet still close to Roche Harbor resort and other attractions (e.g., hiking trails). The house has a wonderful great room with floor to ceiling windows and wooden, vaulted ceilings. Kitchen is well equipped. This is our second visit to this property; we will be back!

The house is nice with a beautiful view. I rated it four stars because the drive to the house has huge potholes, the fireplace is worthless, and the amenities list a pool (that is not on the purport).

Wonderful Escape

Beautiful property in a great location. We loved sitting on the deck and watching the otters in the water. We even saw whales from the dock one morning. The property was clean, comfortable, and well stocked. Would definitely stay again!

View of the water was fabulous and setting was very tranquil. The living room/kitchen/dining was open and a wonderful place to gather. The kitchen is well stocked, but need a few more wine glasses. The fireplace had a pretty minimal flame and we had difficulty operating the tv. Karen was very responsive. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this house.

Lovely retreat

Such a lovely spot for relaxation and beautiful views. The host was wonderful with excellent communication. The home was spacious, had a well stocked kitchen (which I loved) and has a spacious deck to really take in the fresh air and water views. We enjoyed walks to Roche Harbor and exploring the island and all it's beautiful attractions.

Nice home near Roche Harbor

On the very positive side, the location is great, quiet and close to Roche Harbor which was fun to see. The view, while on the water, looks to a bald mountain which is not too lovely. The house is in good condition and well stocked in the kitchen. The porch and deck need some TLC (paint and repair) but the inside of the house is great. The manager is very nice and very communicative.

Fantastic house in a great location

One of the best properties we've ever stayed in. The house was just as described, located in a fantastic spot. We spent our days on the deck or the lawn, admiring the water with Spieden Island in the distance. Meals were always at the outside table, next to the spotless BBQ.The kitchen was very well equipped with the essentials for cooking, a good set of pots, and scads of dishes and glasses. And, in a first for me, the knives were sharp!Highly recommended, but don't take our week! We'll be there again soon.
