The location is gorgeous, right on the cove. Can see & hear seals, otters, bald eagles, The kayaks were a perfect way to see nature & beauty. The balconies on the house were a great way to see nature & to just relax and enjoy the scenery and peaceful surroundings. Nice large deck on the water and the hot tub was great! Very secluded home which was perfect.
The house is massive, but the layout is very strange. The upstairs has 2 queen beds, but no bathroom. So you have to walk down a winding staircase to go to the bathroom on first floor. Then another winding staircase to go downstairs to basement level where there's only 1 bedroom/bath on the entire floor, but there's a theater, massive gym, living room, tub room to bath a child/baby. I'd much rather have another bedroom & bathroom down there than the gym or massive living space. SO many closets that could be combine to make bed/bath. But mostly, the no-bath on top floor is a negative. I guess if you have small kids who don't get up in the middle of the night, it's fine.
Kitchen was large and nicely labeled on the cabinets & drawers. Very stocked with spices and extras.
The host was very responsive and extremely helpful. Gave good tips on local things to do and places to go.
