The house location is gorgeous! The views upon walking into the house are even better than pictured online. We enjoyed just gazing out the window at the beauty, and being able to walk on the dock was icing on the cake. The kitchen was well stocked with the essentials and then some, and laundry room was above and beyond and all the beds were cozy with warm duvets. Super clean too. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!
We loved our stay at this beautiful home. The view is spectacular, and the property is tranquil. We stayed here as two families with two children under 2 years old, and the setup was perfect. The kitchen was well appointed, the house was clean, and the host was very responsive. Thank you and we will be back!

The driveway is dreamy and the home is warm ! I loved the bedrooms are so far from each other but still two on the main floor both come with bathrooms right off of them with access from the hallway and also bedroom. The view is gorgeous and changes throughout the day and the property makes you feel like you’re out in the woods I loved staying here

We were wanting a peaceful getaway & Rendezvous Retreat certainly delivered. Waking up to the phenomenal views every morning was such a beautiful way to start the day. The weather was wonderful and we enjoyed walking the property and going down to the dock every day. The home was very comfortable, and the only negative was the coffee maker/pot was too small. Highly recommend Rendezvous Retreat!

We've stayed at this property multiple times over the last couple of years. It's always in wonderful condition, super clean, and the dock is awesome for our boat. About a 2 mile walk into Roche Harbor, so it's perfect! We will be back again and again!

The Rendezous Retreat was everything we had hoped it would be. From the cleanliness of the house to the access to a private dock we couldn't have asked for more. The only downside was the freezer wouldn't get cold enough to keep our food frozen.

Beautiful and perfect location. It was perfect for 6 of us. We will stay here every time we come to visit.
Very nice property close to Roche Harbor. A short, well maintained dirt road leads you to the house. The steps up and down to the dock was a great little workout. Was able to launch our kayaks directly from the dock and enjoy the water around the bay. House was appropriately stocked and had all the provisions needed

Beautiful views. Well stocked kitchen. Loved location and yard for the kids. A little disappointed in bed - old and sheets were too short for bed. Otherwise, enjoyed our stay.
This stunningly situated property was perfect for a peaceful island stay. The home was comfortable with plenty of room for four adults. Two in one queen, one in the other, and one in the full bunk bed. It is situated to enjoy the spectacular views from all living areas. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook including decent knives. The dock was in place so we went down there to enjoy our morning coffee and enjoy the king fisher , eagles, and seals. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
