Summary: We had 4 generations during our stay. There was something for everyone to love. Well stocked kitchen, clean and comfortable beds. Character and quirk of a home with history. The best part for most of us what the view. What an amazing view of the Puget Sound! We could have sat for hours if yhe kids had let us! The beach kept them occupied during low tide finding oretty shells and rocks. During high tide they loved seeing the sea lions and dolphins( i think they were actually harbour porpiose) but such a fun and comfortable experience. The island itself is quiet and relaxing while still being a comfortabke commute to all the things we wanted to do! A million thanks to Jane for opening her home for us! Notes for renters: there was a pack and play while we were there if you had younger kids. There are lots of stairs (as mentioned in the listing) but if decently mobile you shouldnt have an issue! My 87 year old grandma was able to navigate very easily most of the time.
