Reviews
What a view
5/5 We had 4 generations during our stay. There was something for everyone to love. Well stocked kitchen, clean and comfortable beds. Character and quirk of a home with history. The best part for most of us what the view. What an amazing view of the Puget Sound! We could have sat for hours if yhe kids had let us! The beach kept them occupied during low tide finding oretty shells and rocks. During high tide they loved seeing the sea lions and dolphins( i think they were actually harbour porpiose) but such a fun and comfortable experience. The island itself is quiet and relaxing while still being a comfortabke commute to all the things we wanted to do! A million thanks to Jane for opening her home for us! Notes for renters: there was a pack and play while we were there if you had younger kids. There are lots of stairs (as mentioned in the listing) but if decently mobile you shouldnt have an issue! My 87 year old grandma was able to navigate very easily most of the time.

A Hidden Gem
5/5 Everything about this home was charming from the waterfront setting to the front entrance and collection of family treasures in between. Simply delightful!

Jan's Day
4/5 We were delighted with the location, especially the view. As older adults we had 3 trip and fall on the first carpet, didn't think we would but it happened. But we really enjoyed the grounds and the cornhole game. Lots of space made it nice for the family to do separate activities.

Magical
5/5 This was our second time staying at Jane’s home. We absolutely love it here. It is cozy and beautiful, and the peacefulness of being on the water just fills my heart each time. The kitchen is well stocked, the beds are so comfortable and the view is like nothing else. My nephews absolutely love it here— so much so that they refer to it as “our house” now when they visit. We loved tide pooling, and even launched our SUP from here in the summer. The resident seal visits most days and we even saw porpoises! I cannot say enough about how special this home is. It is clearly well-loved and well taken care of. Such a beautiful slice of PNW history. Visit if you can!
