This house and location were perfect for our family. I knew I wanted to stay on an island but wanted have easy access to other areas such as Anacortes where our whale tour was departing from. The house had everything we needed and my young kids loved the backyard and the deer that visited daily. You have amazing views off the deck, especially the uppermost deck, which isnt in the pictures. I had a couple of questions, which were responded to quickly. It was close to several beach areas, a small grocery store, and a handful of food places. It was the perfect getaway.
