No, the room had a musty, moldy smell. I purchased room deoderant to cover the odor as much as possible during our stay.
4 out of 5 light bulbs in the dining area fixture were burned out and 1 was missing from a lamp in the living room.
It would be good to have at least 1 sauce pan and a toaster.
The living room couch was rock hard. I believe it may be a sleeper sofa, but it would be uncomfortable at best to sleep on.
The view is beautiful!!!
We had a great time exploring the island. The house was nice and well stocked. The deck had a great view of the water and we saw seals out playing ever evening.
We were very comfortable and had everything we needed for our 3 night stay in this quiet and friendly little neighborhood. We thoroughly enjoyed having meals on the deck overlooking the harbor and being surrounded by beautiful trees. A classic taste of Island life!
Home was nice and clean. Manager was very responsive about check in info. View from the house was so amazing and exactly what I was looking for this trip (sunset was incredible!). Downsides: Neighborhood was hit and miss visually (otherwise quiet and nice). Primary bedroom bed was SO squeaky it was difficult sleep on. But I would probably stay here again.
View from the deck was great, waterfront and Olympics in the background. Kitchen and bathrooms were clean and newer, but the furniture was a little tired. Clean and well stocked with supplies. Our dog enjoyed the fully fenced in yard.
Clean, maybe a little dated, but overall nice. Great deck overlooking the bay. Well stocked for dishes, pans, cutlery, paper products. Washer and dryer with unscented laundry soap was a nice surprise, along with an airfryer. Appreciated those! Fireplace nice for cold rainy days was nice too. 2 full bathrooms was appreciated.

Wouldn't stay again
We didn't have much choice as our stay was last minute for a family event, but if there were other options I would take them instead. The place is clean enough and well located with a nice view (other than overlooking the abandoned and overgrown property next door) but it's a very worn-out mobile home with little space to hang out and not a single piece of comfortable furniture anywhere. Not a great value for your money.
The property was dirty. There were ants, both alive and dead in the bathroom and by
the door in the living room. The master bath shower does not drain. The sliding door lock is not operating.
The view is awesome and that is the best thing about the house.
It didn't really look much like the pictures. An old Modular house...The showerhead in the hall bathroom was mostly clogged up and came out so hard it was painful... and the window wouldn't close. The bed made so much creaking noise. The window blinds were missing a lot of the slats. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone I know.
The view from the deck was nice though

1970's Mobile home
Our group of three stayed here for one night, and while the view was stunning, the overall experience left much to be desired.
Positives: The view of the sound was fantastic, the property was clean, and the check-in process was smooth and easy, allowing us to settle in without any hassle.
Challenges: The home is an older mobile home with a very "retro" ie orginal feel, and while that might appeal to some, we found the decor and furniture to be quite dated and uncomfortable. The beds were very firm and the big bed was creaky on top of being uncomfortable, which made for a bad night's sleep. The back deck also had some soft spots that raised safety concerns, and the neighboring property looked like it was in need of significant repair, which impacted the overall atmosphere.
While the price was reasonable, at $300 for the night, the comfort level was not what we expected. If you're mainly looking for a budget-friendly option with a great view, this property may work for you, but keep in mind that the accommodations are extremely basic and not updated.

Great views but many negatives
Great views! But too many negatives. Futon was literally falling apart. No toaster, 1 wine glass. Windows were open when we arrived. So many spiders! My sister was bitten on her cheek. Missing light bulbs, dirty kitchen curtains, decaying caulk in bathrooms. Front door unusable, and walking to back door on rough ground where suitcases don’t roll. Drip coffee maker was good. Lots of chairs, towels, paper products but no Kleenex. Check out instructions said to pack all sheets, towels and futon cover into washer but it wouldn’t fit or would result in not getting everything clean. House description should include ferry ride required if coming from south. That ferry took us about 2 hours during rush hour!
General: Stayed for 6 nights. When we arrived for a time of solitude and study we found there was no toilet paper in the home, and several lightbulbs were burnt out making it impossible to get enough light in any area for the work we had rented it to accomplish.
After our arrival I contacted the manager the next morning. We had a discussion over text and he ultimately he made the two hour trip to bring us some TP and lightbulbs. I appreciate his willingness to go the extra mile.
There has obviously been a great deal of work done at some point to make the house livable and that is good. The cleanliness of the home overall was decent but not great. The manager clearly seemed committed to our stay being enjoyable, but the cleaning did the bare minimums. When we arrived the porches and deck were unswept, the sliding door and window tracks were filled with dirt and mud, the dryer had lint for a season in the trap, and other details that I expected to be in better condition. The home does need some updating especially in the area of furniture to be truly comfortable. I would like to have seen at least a small supply of firewood for the wood burning stove as well.
I do not want to nitpick and we did ultimately get our work accomplished and are thankful. I am truly impressed with the managers willingness to go the lengths he did to satisfy those things we brought to his attention, that's good stuff. It seems from observation that the routine care and preparation need work.
Beautiful waterfront. Property is dated and needs deck maintenance and updated furniture, but not a problem for us. Wonderful area. Construction next door but this was not an issue for us. Owner was responsive.
It's a little dated on the interior, the window treatments really need to be replaced, but the view was excellent, especially around sunset. The neighborhood is quiet, and the appliances all seem to work well. Bring your own games if you wish to play any.

Shower curtain in primary bath was dirty and hair collected in drain. Bed was poor quality. Great view from patio but patio furniture was very poor quality.
The house needs some updating, but was clean and the view from the deck is beautiful. We enjoyed our stay.

See that patio table in the picture? The deck faces west and gets pretty hot on a hot day. There is no umbrella in the picture because there was no umbrella. Period. Looked all over the property for one. Nope. To me, it is that kind of shortsightedness that seemed to prevail throughout the home. The sinks don't drain. There are numerous wiring issues. You park by the front door but have to lug your suitcase around to the back door to enter the home. It's decent inside, just a lot of shortsighted details. The place is being milked by the owner. It is sadly in need of upkeep, repair and maintenance. The place is decent, but just barely. The view is great.

This house definitely needs some love. Pictures had to be from a few years ago. Furniture is very run down. Property around the house needs to be cleaned up. A lot of overgrown flowers beds and randomly placed stepping stones you need to watch out for. Be prepared to buy plug-ins and candles, place is very odorous! Has a beautiful view!
