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.

Comfy cabin with beautiful view

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!

Beautiful view and great price!

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.

Gorgeous view! Very uncomfortable sleeping though

Well im gonna be honest here as my 4 stars are for the fenced yard and million dollar view! If not for those would be lower. I loved the retro feeling it is not a high end home but an older mobile home with a somewhat older deck but didnt mind. The yard is fully enclosed for the dog. We have a very protective dog and multiple times roaming dogs (not lost) kept coming up to the fence setting him off! The was very frustrating but not the home owners fault. On our last morning at 645 am the house next door being put in( which will ruin ALL privacy of this property soon when finished deck and driveway right next to this homes deck yard) had workers out there starting saws and using power tools. It was rude to sqy the least!! I loved this house so much but will not return due to these things.Ps both beds are so uncomfortable and hard thank goodness we had a camping mat in the car to use also. Gorgeous view though and close to some good food and great local beaches.

My pup on deck and said new house going in next door.

Bugs and ants

Shortly after making coffee the first morning, we had ants in the kitchen. We never cooked in the kitchen, we only had fruit and snacks that we brought so we kept them in the fridge. The second day, we had lots of flying bugs coming out of the Lower wall at picture window in the front sitting room.

There Be Whales

While the neighborhood around the property is a bit run down, the home itself is clean and well maintained inside. The outside could use some attention. But the deck is spectacular. We spent quite a lot of time soaking up the spring sun and watching the play of light on the waters of Holmes Harbor. And one afternoon, we were lucky enough to observe members of the resident orca J Pod as they headed north. Another day, we caught a glimpse of a gray whale directly below the house, as it briefly surfaced and then disappeared. We also saw eagles, Harbor seals, and many other birds. Other than the racket of early morning birdsong, we found the neighborhood peaceful and quiet. We had a lovely stay and plan to come back again this summer. Don’t forget your binoculars!

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!

Review for VRBO

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.

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.

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.

Freeland

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

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!

Disappointed and dumbfounded

The exterior of the property left a lot to be desired. On approach, the blue sign with the house number was the only indication you’d arrived. Due to the overgrown nature of the plants and shrubs and the “parking strip” covered in weeds and randomly placed cement blocks, it took awhile before we knew where to park. It’s a double wide trailer with two side doors. Knowing which door to enter was also a mystery. The door which was closest to the parking space and seemed more like the “front door” had a sign on it to use the other door. The wooden staircases and decking were in poor condition and unsafe in spots. One step that was very loose had a kitchen plastic bag draped over it. Apparently, this was to indicate a problem; but the whole access to that door should have been physically blocked off (if the owner is choosing not to fix it)!! Completely unacceptable and a real hazard. The interior was fairly clean, bedrooms and bathrooms well stocked and comfortable, kitchen was minimally stocked. There were several fans but it was difficult to cool off the place when we arrived in 80 degree weather. It would’ve been nice to go out on the deck when the temperature dropped a little; but I discovered that no attempt to clean or tidy up that area had happened at all. I cleaned off the grilled food and charcoal ashes from the table. But while I was outside, it became apparent that I wouldn’t be able to relax there even after I cleaned up. As was mentioned in another recent review, the neighbor’s trailer and property is extremely dilapidated. The TV never was turned off and the sound constantly carried through a large open window which was near our deck. Also, there’s no umbrella with the table so there’s no shade. Since we could only appreciate the amazing view from inside the house and were not able to go outside and relax, I found another place and moved us halfway through the stay. The owner needs to take these negative reviews seriously, as there was very little about the place that felt like a vacation.
