Loved the Amenities & Cleanliness

Wonderful home! Well stocked with everything we needed and more. The beds were very comfortable and multiple blankets for extra warmth, if needed. I’ve been coming to AI for twenty years and this has been my families favorite home. We hope to visit again!

Everything you need!

Overall pretty good! We love the island and are thankful to have a stay that takes pets. Just a few thoughts- there is just 1 bike but no pump (listing mentions 2). The backyard needs help, leveling is needed just to walk without turning your ankle and having a place to sit around the fire pit without falling in!

Great communication with owners

We had several questions before our stay and the owners responded immediately. The house met all our needs and will likely rent it again. Thanks!

What We Were Looking For

We needed a dog-friendly vacation home for the 4th of July weekend and this one was perfect. Fenced back yard, nearby walking trails, quiet and peaceful --except for fireworks on the 4th and 5th. Although illegal on the island the rogues were out --as the owners advised might be the case--but not as bad as the city/suburbs. The home was clean, inviting, comfortable, private and provided us with excellent amenities. It met all our needs.Check-in and communication were excellent. Our only suggestion concerns the back deck. It was pretty rough with debris from the trees. The glass top dining table was covered with hardened debris which took some scrubbing to remove--same with two adirondack chairs on the deck. Covering the table and chairs should handle it. This concern did not overshadow the overall excellent experience we enjoyed.

Absolutely beautiful!

The pictures of the house do not do it justice! The open floor plan make this home cozy but spacious, the back patio was great for us to sit and socialize while eating. The check in process was incredibly easy. So glad we stayed and will definitely be back!

Looking for peace and quiet

We wanted to escape the fireworks noise because it terrifies our dog. This place exceeded our hopes. The house makes a great first impression and is completely comfortable to hang out in.

Our annual Anderson Island Getaway

We had a very enjoyable week with our family in your wonderful home, the perfect base for our annual AI vacation adventures. The house was clean, well-equipped and very comfortable, and the location was secluded and peaceful, yet close to the parks, lakes, and Island attractions. Thanks for sharing your lovely home with us!!

Wonderful Retreat

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay of one month at this home. The house was very clean and well supplied. The dryer gave out during our first week there, and the hosts brought in a new one the VERY NEXT DAY. We had out grand-daughter and a nephew with us for a week and they were well accomodated as well. The home was secluded and very quiet. We enjoyed the back deck and used the grill that was kept in the garage. My sister lives on Anderson Island and we hosted she and her husbancd for dinner and sat on the back deck. It's a great place with great hosts.

Quiet stay

The host accurately describes the home as very quiet as it is tucked away on a secondary street with many trees. Very few neighbors. We have stayed here four times before.

The most peaceful relaxing, secluded place I have ever stayed.

The house was awesome! Clean, fancy, plenty of space, and price was reasonable. Huge tv for after dark. Property manager was quick to respond, helpful and let us check in as soon as they had it ready. Which was earlier than the check-in time listed. Supplies in the house covered everything you would need in the kitchen and bathrooms. And we even had use of the bbq.

Host profile image
My wife and I live in the Seattle area and love living life on the water. Our island home is a big part of allowing us the life we desire, where we want to be.

Not only do we enjoy our home on the island, we have 5 adult children between us with an additional 5-7 grandkids, depending on what time of the upcoming year you ask.

We hope we have created a truly relaxing atmosphere where peace can be found.
