Right-Brained Review
Day One: Post-card ready scenes including warm greetings, eagles fishing, otters romping, fish jumping, seals basking, porpoises playing, bunnies bounding, herons wading, deer visiting, hawks soaring, waves lapping, fiery sunsets, gentle moon rises, bedazzling meteor showers, and silent dawns.
Days Two Through Eight: Re-view. Relax. Repeat.
Left-Brained Review
1. All was as advertised.
2. Communications from the owner and property manager were timely and informative.
3. The pool was about five degrees warmer in the afternoon than in the morning.
4. The central location made for short (15-45 minute) trips to Coupevdlle, Langley, Oak Harbor, and Deception Pass.
5. Many options with sleeping arrangements for our three-generation family of fourteen.
6. The two cabins provided the opportunity for independent living in a world apart.
7. Everything was clean and functional.
8. There was a treasure trove of toys in the room under the lower cabin.
9. Having two dishwashers was a real bonus.
10. I'd suggest portable fans for the main house on warm (70 degrees or more) days.
11. Though well-lighted, some of the steps to the beach were in need of repair.
12. The steps to and from the beach might take a toll on people not used to climbing them, but with a four-wheel drive vehicle it's possible to drive to and from the beach, avoiding the steps entirely.
13. There were abundant books, games, DVDs, CDs for the multiple audio-video systems.
14. Staying here was like living in a private resort.
15. We'll be back!
