House was clean and well stocked, with basics and appliances, magnificent view and host was very responsive. Fished off the beach behind us and caught a six pound Coho for dinner one of the nights. Deer in the front yard, agate and shell hunting down the beach. Already made plans to return next year!

Beautiful location. Minor issues with set up—plastic liner for trash can in kitchen missing, soap and shampoo not in bathrooms ready for use. But overall great experience.

Thanks for the feedback! Apologies for missing some of the key details that make a great stay. The lack of soap and shampoo in the showers is a conscious decision to be better environmental stewards and cut down on waste. We’ve found most guests bring their own but we do make those available if they forget or need them. Glad you enjoyed your time on the island!

Very nice. Beautiful view. Great access to beachfront. Kind, welcoming people on the island and in the neighborhood. Kitchen well set up for cooking and storing food. I would say the living room is not really set up for sleeping. The twin bed icon for living room is not accurate. Sleeping on the window seats would be fine for children but not inviting as an adult.

Rebecca’s review of the living room is fair. Vrbo doesn’t really have great tools to describe the set-up there. More like crashing on a couch than a proper bed.

We had a great stay in this lovely home. Three generations were on this vacation and everyone had plenty of options to keep busy or just relax. The view was outstanding, right on the water. The house was well stocked with all we needed. There were plenty of games that everyone enjoyed. Our host, Rob, was very good about answering any questions we had and gave good suggestions on travel, shopping, and ferry tips. I highly recommend this home!
The kids loved looking for interesting rocks on the beach.
Every night had a pretty sunset.
The kayakers in the family went out every day.

We had a wonderful weekend on Guemes Island and this home was the perfect place, beautiful view-- all the things one would need for a cozy weekend. Coffee and book while sitting by the water-- perfect. The two bedrooms are across the house from each other so it would be great for couples as well.

I’m not going to go into the property specifics, it was clean and comfortable. BUT, what I will go into is the absolute laid back beauty of the surroundings. Literally watching seals frolic from the deck. My watch apparently keeps track of my heart rate because it told me my resting heart rate had seen a significant decline while we were there. It’s that peaceful. Our host MORE than went above and beyond to ensure our stay went without a problem, many thanks.

Wedding Party Perfect

It was perfect. The bridesmaids and I enjoyed a quiet get away is this beautiful setting. The home was perfect is every way with plenty of room to just hang out and enjoy the water views. I would definitely stay there again.

Very Quiet

We had a great time. It is so very quiet and peaceful there. Love the beachfront location. We are already talking about booking some time again in the late spring or summer. Thank you for sharing your property.

Perfect location on the beach

The property is beautiful with a location that can’t be beat. Many yard toys and board games to play, plenty of blankets to snuggle. Everything you need is here, with a well equipped kitchen. The house was more than large enough for our family of four, and our kids loved the bunks. Thank you, will be back!

We had a group of 7 adults that wanted a "fancy" home base for our annual kayak trip and this home was PERFECT! The beach was literally steps away and we were able to get out on the water whenever we wanted. (I actuallly spent most of my time just sitting on the back deck in the sun listening to the waves and watching the boats and wildlife). The views were spectacular. I took way too many photos of the blue herons and eagles fishing right in front of the house. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed and there was plenty of comfy seating on the deck and in the living room for everyone to have their own space. The dining table was easily extended for all our meals and to spread out the puzzles/games available in the living room. We all loved the long built in along the entire back wall for reading and napping. The beds all had good mattresses and the entire place was spotless. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We are already planning next year's trip.

Great communication with the host to set us up for our stay. Amazing beach front location on the island. We hiked the Mountain trail, walked the beach, enjoyed the sunset on the deck and cooked wonderful meals in the kitchen. Would do it over and over again.
