A few friends and I had booked a last minute trip to San Juan Islands and we were very pleasantly surprised that this rental was not yet booked. This rental is beautiful and accommodated 7 adults and a 3mos old perfectly. It has a very open floor plan so it was hard getting the baby to sleep at night because the adults were so loud downstairs..oopps. It's a very short ride to and from town. Lake Margo is just right around the corner, I did not personally walk down because I forgot to bring proper shoes but my friends went down and took pictures and it was beautiful. There is also a cute little swing on a tree on the side of the house. I would definitely stay here again on my next trip to the islands and highly recommend this rental to anyone that is planning a trip to the islands. Angie was awesome and was very accommodating even though she was on vacation and we inquired about booking two days before arriving!

Thanksgiving Weekend

Two families with adult children spent a very pleasant, comfortable and relaxing Thanksgiving here. The house is beautiful and spacious with very nice furnishings. The kitchen is well stocked with appliances, utensils, pots & pans, etc. The beds are comfortable. House is in a peaceful location in the middle of the island. Short drives to town or any island sights. The views from the house are pastoral/wooded, and I imagine would have a secluded feeling in the spring/summer/fall when trees are leafed out. In the winter you can see a neighbor's house, but they are not close so it's a non-issue. Would definitely stay here again and not hesitate to recommend it. It was a pleasure dealing with Angie when setting up the rental.

Nice enough but . . .

Nice upscale home in a nice, quiet location. The first morning we had 3 deer feeding right under our window. The biggest issue we had was October . . . as we got there the weather turned cold. So did the house. The only heat source for the main living area is the gas fireplace which proved less than adequate. We even lit the oven a couple of times to help get warm.

I'm not sure what is customary, but we found it odd that there was literally nothing in the kitchen in the way of spices. I can't call that a negative because maybe that is normal, but we ended up going back to the store for salt and pepper.

The TV was in a cabinet and the speakers were blocked so we ended up having to turn up the volume to understand what was being said, but then it was blaring to the point of annoyance. Sigh.

All that said, it was a lovely house and the location was great -- just 1.7 miles from the lavender farm (we walked there and back and it was a perfect outing). The kitchen was very nice with modern appliances and well equipped with pots, pans and such. On a warmer week we probably would have been outside more so the TV and heat issues would be moot. If that is the case with your vacation, you will no doubt enjoy your stay. We had a relaxing time and would come back again during warmer weather and we'd bring our own spices. :o)
