Fabulous Get a Way!
We had a wonderful time, watched Killer Whales from a great vantage point at the front of the property and walked on the beach without seeing another soul. The house was very comfortable with large windows and lots of light. We enjoyed an evening fire and a glass of wine. The house was well tended and the grounds a perfect NW rain forest treat! We have already made arrangements to stay several more times this summer!

Fantastic! Views, nature, privacy, quiet
Loved this place! The great escape. We saw deer, distant seals from the backyard view. Gorgeous plants, flowers. Never heard or saw neighbors. (Wifi strong for work meetings.) Plenty of amenities, great welcome treats, clean and gorgeous windows! Kayaks were excellent. Lots of lovely hiking trails on island and a swimming lake. (General store was good, reasonably priced.) Ferry was fun, simple. Great communication from host. Enjoyed the fire pit. Seriously, nothing more needed! Thank you hosts Brian & Diane for sharing your little piece if Heaven! :)

Perfect beach getaway
This house was perfect for a family getaway. The bunk bed room was a big hit with my kids, as well as the hot tub. There is a huge yard to run around and play, with access down to the beach with crabs, sand dollars, star fish, and more! The house was clean, cozy, well stocked and they even had a basket with treats to welcome us. There are trails all over the island with their own beach access that we loved exploring. Great, quiet getaway for our family.

Always a great time
Our second time staying here and loved it! It’s so quiet and secluded with a gorgeous view. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen well stocked, and the property is adorable. Took one star off of cleanliness due to the hot tub being a little murky, but it didn’t detract from our overall stay.

Lovely place shredded in the woods
Just a really lovely, secluded place in the woods with private beach access (down an impressively long flight of stairs). Host communication was top notch. View and coziness were wonderful. We ended up with just 4 in our party, which was great. Might have been close quarters with more than that. Kitchen cooking tools could use a little better stocking, organization, labeling to take to next level, But overall, as described and grand.

Beautiful house! The views were amazing, hot tub was needed and the fire was perfect for s’mores. As 5 friends and educators we take a weekend away and this was exactly what we needed for our annual trip. It was peaceful, the beach was great to explore and the house had everything we needed. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

We are a group of educators we take a annual trip to relax and enjoy our friendship. This year we stayed at the beachcomber. It was exactly what we needed. The house was amazing!

Cozy Christmas
We rented this home for our family to gather for Christmas. To our surprise, we entered the home to see a beautifully decorated Christmas tree, and other holiday decorations around the room. The home was well supplied with the essentials, plus other things to enjoy like books, games, puzzles, and some of the basic kitchen staples. We loved the large wall of windows to take in the views of the Sound, and the lush vegetation. We thoroughly enjoyed seeing eagles and other wildlife from the overlook, as well as on the beach walk, or from the hot tub. We could regularly hear the sea lions. The house was decorated in such a cozy beach/cabin style. We had a wonderful stay.

Wonderful
This home was exceptional. Very clean, accurate listing, well stocked kitchen meant well stocked kitchen! The beds were comfortable, the hot tub was amazing, the host was communicative and we experienced zero problems. We will absolutely stay again. The only thing I could say is the cleaning fee is steep considering the checkout includes a decent list of chores.

Perfect!
Such an awesome property. Quiet and secluded, but close to all the island amenities. The house itself was very clean with comfortable beds. The kitchen was very well stocked. Steps down to the beach are steep, but handrails and non-slip sheets on the steps themselves made it easier to make our way down. The hot tub was great after a day of trekking around the island. The riviera restaurant was great food and fun on karaoke night. If you plan on cooking, be sure to stop at a grocery store before heading to the island. The general store has basics, but is pretty limited. Overall, 10/10 would stay (and plan to stay) again!

Above and beyond expectations!
I can’t say enough about this house! My friends and I rent a few house a year and this is by far my favorite. Every detail of the house is thought out. All of the finishes and items in the house are higher end giving it a homey feel. It felt like staying at a friend’s house rather than a rental. We plan on brining our kids back next summer ti enjoy the island.

Perfect Getaway
I can't say enough good things about this house. My husband and I traveled with another couple for his fortieth birthday. Every detail of the home is thought out as if the owner lives there. Everything is high end and seems more like staying at a friend's house rather than a rental. The gas firepit was amazing on a crisp November day. The new hot tub was just what we needed after a trek down to the private beach. We can't wait to come back with our children.
