Beautiful views - could be even better

We had a lovely stay and the accommodation was as seen in the listing. However it feels like some minimal interventions would take the place to another level; - the beds were not very comfy - the door lock mentioned in earlier reviews still not resolved - the outdoor furniture and bbq are tatty and in need of upgrade - especially when the stuff next door is clearly visible! - a noisy heating system kicked in at 5am All easily fixable and would help justify the price tag

Very relaxing place

Loved the property and the view! It was a little tricky to find at first as their is two very steep driveways and har to tell which one to take. Make sure you take a compact car. Parking is tricky and not meant for longer vehicles.

Lovely water front property

We really enjoyed our stay. The property being waterfront and getting so see every sunrise and set from the porch was the best part. The beach was perfect for kids from the mid west to explore at low tide and kept our kids entertained all week. There are fruit trees and blackberries all over the property. For these reasons I recommend it. However, I am not sure the managing of the property is doing it’s best. We were alerted urgently the day before our trip that ‘our accommodations would not be available’. My heart sunk, because traveling with kids it not a turn on a dime affair. The offered other properties. Turns out the door lock was broken and we could lock the slider while we were there but not when we left. We decided to still use the property. This was not fixed the entire time we were there. Small things like cheap toilet paper and other products were just not the level I would have expected as a nice property but easy to look past. Also no pack n play, high chair, etc which I’m used to rental properties having. Again, we loved our stay, but we have had better experiences from management aspect.

Peaceful waterfront home

The well designed guest house, next to a much larger main house, has great views of Skagit Bay and low bank beach access. The two bedrooms, each with their own full bathrooms, are separated by a well equipped kitchen and an adjacent sitting area that could use some better furniture. The mattresses in both bedrooms are far too soft for comfort and should be replaced. The adjacent patio is located next to extensive, well landscaped and maintained grounds with many fruit trees. However the patio was equipped with only three usable chairs and no tables. The lack of suitable lawn furniture was surprising and would have been a major disappointment if we had not brought our own folding table and chairs. There is a fire pit that we enjoyed using, but it has an unstable base and should be replaced. There was a gas barbecue, which we did not use. While we enjoyed our stay in the guest house, we probably would choose to stay in the main house for any additional stays with four or more people. It is much larger and better equipped with both indoor and outdoor furniture.
