Anacortes Paradise Vacation Rental w/ Water Views!

Reviews

• LOCATION AND VIEW

  3/5

  The view and the location cannot be beat! However, the furniture needs some updating and is not comfortable. The main king bed is not usable for 2 people. It sinks in the middle and has no firmness left. In addition, the room is set up awkwardly with an additional bed in the room and is cumbersome to navigate. The living room furniture is not comfortable for hanging out or watching tv or admiring the beautiful views of the water. There is not any network tv set up, so I recommend that you have a streaming service like YouTube TV to be able to stream any network or local tv stations. Another suggestion is with the beautiful views and spacious deck, some nicer patio furniture is needed. We would have spent much more time on the deck had the chairs been comfortable The MAJOR issue with this rental is that there is someone living or visiting downstairs and there is not a secure barrier between the basement and the upstairs. This really should be disclosed PRIOR to anyone renting. There is a drape and something else blocking access, but as far as we can see and hear were the only things between us and whomever was down there. We did not venture down to the basement, but when the person burned something they were cooking you would swear it was in your unit. You could also hear people talking and they were doing some minor drilling and hammering which was annoying. It did not last long, but was enough that it bothered us during our stay and should have been disclosed as a possibility. The owner does not respond to text or email but did answer the phone when called and also got back to us promptly when we had questions. The home was clean and well stocked. The one neighbor we met was friendly and offered suggestions on what to watch for out in the water, keying us in on some whales that were feeding.

  We’re so glad you enjoyed the unbeatable location, views, and found the home clean, well stocked, and our team responsive. We’re sorry some aspects of your stay didn’t meet expectations. We understand how important comfort is and will review the mattress, indoor furnishings, and deck seating to enhance the experience. The layout, including the additional bed in the bedroom, is shown in the listing, and we’ll revisit how it’s presented for clarity. The TV is set up for streaming, and we’ll make sure instructions for accessing channels are clearer. The home is a split-level property with a separate lower unit and private entrance, as disclosed in the listing, and we’ll continue working to minimize any potential disruption. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to keep improving for future stays.

  We truly enjoyed our three-day stay in this great Anacortes home. It has an amazing view of the Puget Sound, complete with porpoises, harbor seals, seabirds and boats passing by. The house was clean, comfortable and stylish, with plenty of amenities. The hosts were very friendly as well. Without a doubt, would stay there again!Stayed 3 nights in August, 2025

  It was great.. just weird owners were there when I went through front door…. Thankfully they didn’t stay downstairs. I would have like to had heads up that the owner stay e downstairs. Idk why we are great people , it would have been uncomfortable. The place was beautiful and perfect. I also thought it odd that we were not even able to have a glass of wine???? A beer???

  Thank you for your great review! I apologize for being there when you arrived. I have housekeepers who do a wonderful job, but both had summer activities that couldn’t be missed so I pitched hit for them. I am not as fast and efficient as I was., but I have to say that I I really enjoyed meeting you ! My sincere apologies We rarely stay at this property as our main home is on Lopez Island, I came in just to clean for and left right after you arrived.
