This home is a birder’s dream! Every day of our 35-day stay we were treated to visits from multiple painted buntings. The elevation of the main floor provides a bird’s eye view of the forest canopy to see even more bird species.A quick walk to the ferry terminal, Jules, Old Baldy, and the beach, this home was conveniently located on a small, private cul-de-sac.The home was well-equipped, stocked with all the kitchen essentials we needed during our 5-week stay. We enjoyed spending time on the spacious back deck and appreciated that the home also was spacious enough for both of us to work remotely.Tyler and his crew were fantastic. They were very responsive and accommodating!!
